Lidarr works best with usenet. There are good dedicated private torrent trackers for music though.

@dumptruckdan @ZeroCool @Moc

Out of curiosity, how so?

@feitingen Huh, I stand corrected.

@Anafroj @daninet

I got an e-ink device because it’s easier on the eyes and battery easily lasts a week when I go camping.

If it were possible to get an e-ink display, I would definitely use one for programming.

@mojo @protokaiser

You can convert them to azw3 with calibre. It’s what I do.

@jgrim

Yeah Lemmy is definitely lacking polish in a number of areas. One of the things that bothers me most about Lemmy is that the local feed is the default instead of subscribed.

@einsteinx2 @magic_lobster_party

This is most definitely my experience with a lot of CS professors unfortunately.

@jgrim @poVoq

Yeah, even though twexxit happened, there are still an absolutely massive amount of holdouts, so I expect rexxit to be just as slow.

@IDatedSuccubi @Shady_Shiroe

As CS major, 1 bothers me so much.

I see it all the time especially on calculator sites.

@Rooki @ghariksforge

I mean, python is named after Monty Python.

@rezz @AzuleBlade

Theres this, just replace #plex with #jellyfin

https://perfectmediaserver.com/

I use linuxserver.io’s docker container.

@cyberpunk007

I agree with you.

It works better for me though, especially because I never paid for plex pass, so I don’t have access to hardware accelerated transcoding on plex.

UI though, has never really been all that big of an issue for me. If I can navigate quickly, I am good.

I can say with certainty though that the plex roku app is way better than jellyfins.

@cyberpunk007 @dinckelman

Out of curiosity, what features are you missing from #jellyfin?

@damnthefilibuster @Kushia

You can get a hold of them via #eBay. Every now and then a business upgrades and floods the market.

One of these days I want to buy a whole bunch of them and build a #Beowulf cluster.

@Chev @produnis

As the other guy said, because they are way cheaper. I use them for media storage.

For 20tb of hard drive storage, you could expect to spend ~$400 (probably less these days), but the same price will get you a 5th that on ssds (maybe more these days)

If you are streaming video, hard drive read speeds are good enough.

@midas @bronzing

Out of curiosity why not? this is what I have been doing forever.

@republicofRAD @SpaceToast

I specifically enjoy NixOS but I wouldn’t recommend it to beginners as the documentation isn’t great and the distro works differently from all other distros.

I would recommend linux mint.

@stephenc @lemann

I have been using #btrfs for years now. I have not had any issues with it.

@Perhyte

oh that might be the case that it is new to the server. I didn’t even think about that.

@ShootBANGdang @Selmafudd

yeah, once one person comments it suddenly gets bumped to the front of active on lemmy…
