I, uhh, keep the original media safe in a storage locker!

i_stole_ur_taco,

Did you give up any Plex features you miss? I’ve been running a Plex server for years without serious issues, but I’m tired of seeing my CPUs getting hammered so bad when it doesn’t seem justifiable.

I'm currently downloading a show that is on a service to which I subscribe

I have a Galaxy Tab S7 and for a trip to Spain I downloaded some stuff to watch on the flight. When I got on the plane none of the stuff downloaded on Disney+ would play. Maybe an issue with downloading to the SD card? I don’t know, but regardless Disney offers SD card as a download destination so they should make sure it is...

i_stole_ur_taco,

Link for the lazy: youtu.be/o4GZUCwVRLs

Definitely worth a watch.

i_stole_ur_taco,

I never asked to ride the bone train!

That’s not garlic, that’s its drunk uncle jarlic.

i_stole_ur_taco,

If you don’t want to crush them with the side of a knife to loosen the peels (it works great but then the squashed garlic is hard to hold if you’re grating it), a trick I saw was to chop the bottoms off the cloves and then throw them in the microwave for 10-20 seconds. The skins start to fall right off and peel like magic.

i_stole_ur_taco,

If you’re hired as a developer and the only tasks you’re getting assigned are HTML, are you a developer?

I think rather than the tools and languages you use, titles should be determined by the kinds of memes you consume.

i_stole_ur_taco,

Ooh, we doin’ pancakes today??

i_stole_ur_taco,

I’m happy to contribute to this project.

i_stole_ur_taco,

I always seem to scroll to some squirrel hentai or some dude’s butthole the second a random passerby can see my phone.

I could hide NSFW posts, but that’s not a life worth living.

i_stole_ur_taco,

And if there’s something of value in the pre order (bonus DLC, pre-install before launch, etc), you can just pre order it the day before it launches.

You get your “stuff” and the company accountants don’t get to squeal with delight 3 months prior to launch.

i_stole_ur_taco,

Gen-X men see eye-to-eye with male Gen-Zers. An identical 43 percent of men in that bracket call themselves feminists, compared to 49 percent of the generation’s women.

I feel like the authors think these 2 sentences are supporting the same argument, and I think they do not.

Asking someone if they “identify as a feminist” is vastly different than exploring their core values. “Feminism” is a badly exploited word that means many different things to many different people, even within a generational cohort.

It’s entirely possible that the sample of Gen-Xers that identify as feminist also carry more regressive beliefs than Gen-Zers that said they were not feminists.

The way this study was summarized in the article smells a lot like an older author (read: Gen-X or Boomer) trying to make sense of Gen-Z by plopping them into buckets created for the older generation.

I don’t know anything about anything, but this smelled less of science than an article reporting a study ought to.

i_stole_ur_taco,

I can’t recommend an all-in-one primer, but if you want to look up guides independently, you’ll probably be most interested in these tools/services:

  • a Usenet host (paid. they’re largely the same. Look for deals)
  • a Usenet indexer site (analogous to a Pirate Bay type search engine). I like nzbgeek but there are hundreds. Many require a small annual fee and this may be worth it to you, but you can use free ones to test your initial setup.

A Usenet indexer is going to let you download .nzb files, which is analogous to downloading .torrent files from a torrent indexer. The nzb describes what posts in what newsgroups contain the files for a particular release.

  • SABnzbd (download client, analogous to a torrent client like Transmission)
  • browser plugins to simplify clicking an nzb download link and sending it to SABnzbd (not always needed if you’re running everything on your local machine, but important if your SAB instance runs on another server or in a Docker container)

If you’re looking to set up some extra infrastructure for automating a lot of steps, there’s also web apps to cover a ton of video use cases, like:

  • Sonarr and Radarr (for monitoring specific tv shows and movies and automatically searching for nzbs, downloading them, and moving them to a final home on disk)
  • Plex or Jellyfin (for providing a Netflix-like UI you can use to look for something to watch and then stream it to your browser/phone/TV)
  • Overseerr (for a single interface to look for shows and movies and have them automatically added to Sonarr/Radarr.

I’d highly recommend setting up Docker and putting all of these apps into separate containers. Linuxserver creates easy to setup and update Docker packages for all these things. It’s also a great resource for finding other web apps you didn’t know you needed.

i_stole_ur_taco,

Sonarr and Radarr are there for managing your requests, so they’ll handle things like downloading it when it’s available (either because it’s a new release or because the torrent/nzb weren’t readily available at the time you added it), upgrading an existing file to a higher quality version if it becomes available, sourcing a new copy if you mark the one it found as bad (e.g. huge, hard-coded Korean subtitles ruining your movie).

If you’re trying to find new stuff based on vague conditions (like “90s action movie), I don’t think any of the self hosted apps are a huge help. You’re probably better off sourcing ideas from an external site like IMDb or tvdb (maybe even Rotten Tomatoes?). Those sites maintain their own rich indexes of content and tags, whereas the self hosted stuff seems to be built more around the “I’ll make an api request once I know what you’re looking for”, which sucks when you don’t really know what you’re looking for.

I think there are even browser extensions for IMDb that will add a button to the IMDb movie page letting you automatically add it to Radarr if you like the look of it.

i_stole_ur_taco,

They’re going to start removing quality items from your cloud save games!

i_stole_ur_taco,

If you want to automate that a bit, set up github.com/meeb/tubesync.

It’ll watch any YouTube playlists you specify (I created one called “Save to Plex”) and automatically download them and import them into Plex. Adding videos is as easy as sticking them into your playlist from whatever YouTube client you use.

i_stole_ur_taco,

I didn’t release Withers in my first play through and he still randomly showed up at camp later in Act 1. I don’t remember if he said any “we meet again” stuff but it was weird and possibly a bug.

It’s surprising how many times you need to replay the game to really understand everything a quest or NPC might do. The butterfly effect is strong in this game.

i_stole_ur_taco,

Is that the guy that had a bunch of clones of the original dog?

i_stole_ur_taco,

Any more than 3 slats holding up a mattress is a frivolous luxury, I say.

i_stole_ur_taco,

Also pretty convenient to fill up before you head out for a day of fun flingin’.

i_stole_ur_taco,

It’s odd how something as apparently exciting and delightful as gambling happens in giant buildings where not a single person is ever smiling.

i_stole_ur_taco,

This is one of those stupid comics that has, of its own free will, randomly popped back into my head over the last 20 years.

I had started to think it wasn’t real and I’d just misremembered a Far Side comic and now boom, it’s here like an awkward Christmas gift.

i_stole_ur_taco,

On the easy difficulty level it’s not too intense, and you can save anywhere so you can definitely come at it in small bursts of time. Some days I have 3 hours to play, sometimes 10 minutes. It’s always a good time.

I’m not so sure how appropriate it is for a 14 year old, though. There’s a lot of brutal violence, macabre imagery, and sexual content that is questionable for a young teen.

I’d do a little more research into whether you’re sure it’s age appropriate, but on all other counts I’d say it’s a winner.

After spending the time getting overseerr to work, I'm disappointed.

I guess it’s just the way my brain doesn’t assimilate information well, but I went at it assuming that when I was done I would have a product that would show up in Plex and allow me to use as a browser within the Plex system. Now that I’m done I realize it’s just a single device install that that results in something...

i_stole_ur_taco,

You should think of Overseerr as a single install the same way you think of Plex. For instance, you don’t install Plex Media Server on every device you have, and then copy all your media to each device, right? Same principle applies here.

You want one Overseerr instance to live in one place (why not the machine you run Plex on?), then have everybody connect to THAT machine using their web browser. If you’re all on the same network it’s easy, though you might need to open up some ports on your firewall. If you want it to work over the internet, you’ve got a little more work to do.

i_stole_ur_taco,

But he estimated the job would take 3 hours so everyone was happy.

Right?
