Hats are little modules you can stick on your pi for extra functionality!

And they probably do have a Fedora hat…

I’m running Casa, but I haven’t opened up network to the world.

I will say, that Casa is simple to a fault. I still haven’t figured a way to easily hook all my -arr services with my vpn container, but I have an old Pi clone running Portainer managing the -arr/vpn connection. That way I know the vpn is setup and the Kill-switch works.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION IN THIS MATTER!

I made a Handbrake profile with the settings i wanted, and used the “bulk add” function to add entire shows to the queue.

The media lives on the network, my desktop does the heavy lifting, and saves the resulting video to the hard drive. Then I copy everything back to the network.

It’s not terribly efficient, but I couldn’t get tdarr to work, so this works for me. Going forward, i just have to make sure my sonarr settings are on point

I’ve heard rumors that they do play well together, but that’s people running it in docker with a “read-only” flag set for the content folder, with metadata saved in the config folder

I’ve used the Jellyfin app to listen to audio books, but for my purposes, it’s easier to run the separate client/server Audiobookshelf.

Dang, I just realized I didn’t explain the setup well enough:

An old laptop runs the Jellyfin server, but the Pi runs the reverse proxy. For some reason, trying to use the reverse proxied address causes problems, but connecting directly to the laptop via IP address and port runs fine.

I tried a Jellyfin server with a pi 2 or 3 and it couldn’t serve more than one client at a time. So i imagine a zero wouldn’t even be able to load the app, much less serve anything :/

My main reason for running my DNS/ad block/nginx through the zero, sometimes the laptop goes down, freezes, or fails to clear the transcodes folder, so having that stuff separate keeps at least part of the network running.

If I trusted the battery tech more, I would use an old phone. But I’ve had one of those white plastic Mac books hooked up to power so long, the battery swelled out of its enclosure :/

Maybe there’s a way to disconnect the battery, or an app that switches off charging, so it drains enough to keep that from happening

Oh nice! I’d love to run an ad blocker/dns/reverse proxy on something with a little more beef than the Pi zero I’ve got now.

Jellyfin and or Pi zero does not like streaming through the video.local address I’ve got setup, so i have to use IP address to get anything without stuttering.

I’m in a red state and have spent my life holding my tongue when these people start spouting their bullshit.

I’m done being nice. Unfortunately, they are taking us all down with them, but you can bet your ass I’m going to be reminding them of that the entire time.

I’m also shoe-stringing it, I’m posting this from an extended stay hotel at $60 a day because my credit is shit. My biggest gift is my ability to read and take instructions, so watching the mouth breathing red hats getting laid off is a small, but sweet, consolidation to all this crap…

Good.

Same.

Bought a Blu-ray burner and “archive grade” disks for third location backups.

I made a list of files that is just a text document (3MB!) that sits on the root of the Blu-ray. There’s probably a better way of doing that, but it works for me.

Results of the rights constant attack on education.

Knowledge is power, and that scares the crap out of Republicans…

When i add a Bluetooth device to my phone, i use an emoji to show what type of device it is. 🖥️📱🎮🎧

I use the hearing aid emoji for earbuds: 🦻

When i had home assistant working, i used emojis to name all my devices, then when you sort by name, it groups the emojis together.

“The establishment” is the only thing keeping red states going…

Totally. Can we start shooting radio waves at the sun, just to see what happens!?

That’s good to hear about local books. The official app can stream fine, but books tend to freeze and skip when playing an mp3…

Don’t you think he looks tired?

No

Call him a coward. Do it. Or at least imply it: “only a coward would refuse a debate, especially after he thinks he won the last one…”
