MrBeast is a really popular content creator that makes videos with high production value; similar to TV Show Contests but with a worldwide audience. He currently holds the title for the Youtube channel with the most subscribers.
About the drama revolving him; recently, it’s surfaced that one of his friends in the channel called Kris has inappropriately talked with a minor back before; and an ex-MrBeast employee has came out telling that MrBeast himself was favoring people he knew over completely random subscribers; skewing the odds to make the challanges more interesting to watch and also a stream he did way before (signing every T-Shirt bought live) had various elements that are outright illegal in a lot of countries, saying stuff like “if you buy this within the next 10 minutes you have chance to get XXX”.
Taking up 25.48tb after conversion to HEVC compressing it ~40%
Every series is monitored for new episodes which download automatically; and there’s a dozen or so public IMDB lists being monitored for new movies from studios/categories I like. Anything added to the lists gets downloaded automatically.
Then there’s Ombi gathering media requests from my friends/family to be passed to sonarr/radarr and downloaded.
At this point, the library continuously grows on its own, and I have to do little more than just tell it what I want to watch.
What’s your process for recoding? I’m nearing 120tb used space and would like to re-encode some of the stuff my *arr stack grabbed before I got my profiles tuned in.
The majority of my stack as well as vehicles run off renewables / solar. So it’s hard to tell. May seem like some massive library but it has been accumulated over 25 or so years and is composed of a shit ton of physical rips from a pretty extensive library of everything from VHS and vinyl to uhd…
Pretty cool that you’re able to use renewable energy. Do you know how much power it consumes? And do you have a backup power supply? Uninterrupted Power Supply I think it’s called.
Overall it’s (currently) a couple jbods plugged in to a NUC. Total draw is at 81W currently. That’s based off of a quick remote check on my UPS.
That’s a Ubiquiti Dream Machine Pro, Modem, Ubiquiti U7 Pro, 2 - 6 disc jbods running Seagate exos 20tb, and the NUC.
There’s a secondary drive array but it only powers on once a week for a few hours to run backups/differentials. Even under that load I don’t really spike above 100W.
Compared to the draw my old full rack with a couple loaded up r210’s has, this is incredibly efficient.
I keep everything in a 10u rack in my garage so it doesn’t bother us much. That said, when it was in my office being configured, it was quieter than my desktop running a 5900x and 3080.
By design, NUC’s are super quiet and the jbods I’m using are cooled with 2 140mm fans running at about 50% most of the time.
Worth noting, I’ve been a metal fan and musician most of my life so my sensitivity isn’t very high compared to a lot of others.
Which JBODs do you use for your 20TB Seagate Exos, and would you recommend?
I’m looking for recommendations for a solution that will work for 3 × 22TB white-label Seagate Exos, but it seems to me that only very few of the various JBOD enclosures available online are actually good products worth buying, but it isn’t always clear to me if they even support 22TB drives…
I used to use the built in convert options in Emby server, but recently switched to Tdarr to manage all my conversions. It’s got far more control/configurablity to encode your files exactly how you’d like.
It can also ‘health check’ files by transcoding them, but not saving the output; checking for errors during that process to ensure the file can actually be played through successfully. With 41k+ files to manage, that made it much easier to find and replace the dozen or so broken files I had, before I found them by trying to play them.
Fore warning; this is a long and intensive process. Converting my entire library to HEVC using an RTX 2080 took me over 2 months non-stop. (not including health checks)
Awesome. Thanks for the info. I have been running Plex for years and started the switch to Jellyfin last year. Have a container running Emby but haven’t put any work in to configuring or much yet.
Same situation with Tdarr. Threw together a quick container and got caught up in a billion other projects. I have an old 3600x / 1080ti system I’ll likely use as a transcoding node. Just need to go over the docs and figure out how to setup input / output paths.
Configuring input/output paths are only really necessary when you have multiple systems that don’t see the media at the same paths. Such as a Linux server and a Windows node working together.
I’d imagine there’s a way to set that up with the *arrs but my personal path of less resistance is to just recode what I got rather than figure a process to redownlod out. There’s is more resources than time at my disposal currently.
I assume youve seen trashs guides. But yea I get it. Im sure your aware reencoding can kill quality too. Many grab the blueray and then reencode that to hevc just depends what works
Why not let *arrr find good HEVC releases by searching again? Just set remux to be considered as lower quality as the other releases, and *arr will upgrade the files by replacing remux with non-remux files. Did that, got many TiB back 😁
I may see how easy that is to set up. I noted above though, I’ve been learning the *arr stack piece by piece. And it never seems to quite work the way that I’m expecting it to so doing local recodes ends up being a more viable solution for me since I have a shit ton of processing power and limited time to read through things like trashes guide. Thank you for the suggestion though. Maybe if I get some time in the coming month to dig into my settings I’ll give that a shot. It would be cool to automate the recovery process that way.
Reddit is not the same. I’ve been lurking and the site just seems weird. Like the demographics of the users has changed, or maybe the promotion algorithm is different. It’s just weird now, lots of celebrity worship (there are no fewer than three active subs dedicated to the girl from Stranger Things). A lot of the old popular subs have new mods and new culture to go along. It still seems dominated by the political left, but still more conservative than Lemmy: you’ll see plenty of chud content if you keep scrolling.
It’s still a great resource for niche interests, and the userbase is huge, but not welcoming to a person like me otherwise.
I buy from glassesshop, I think the cheapest pair is $50 for frame and lenses. I went all in on the thinnest lenses and transitions, I think it was $150.
Target optical does vision tests for $75 IIRC, and I go there to get a prescription that I give to glassesshop and pick up a cheap pair and a nicer pair. Still not free.99, but much cheaper than other routes without insurance.
Good Morning! I just created this account after discovering Lemmy, then discovering your post. Last year I found an old list from a relative with ingredients they claimed make teeth actually regrow. I’ve been working with them personally for over a year, and they definitely do. First, hydrogen peroxide, it is a well known oral debridement agent, mix up 50/50 hydrogen peroxide/tap water, and aggressively swish it around your mouth for 30seconds to a minute. This will kill cavities and germs/bacteria. Be sure to always rinse with just tap water after words to clear any remaining hydrogen peroxide. The most important thing I’ve come across, a tooth with a cavity currently in it, will not heal. I have 3 teeth that had root canals previously and they regrow millimeters usually over night when I apply the mix. The cavities I’ve worked on need to die before the tooth heals usually leaving a big hole in the tooth, its not painful, but can be difficult to keep clean and cavities can regrow easily while healing so extra care has to be taken. Now for the Ingredients to regrow a tooth, they are all essential oils, THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF USING THEM IS IF YOU ACCIDENTALLY EAT OR VAPE SUGAR WHILE THE ESSENTIAL OILS ARE STILL ACTIVE IT WILL CAUSE NEW CAVITIES! 8ml sweet almond oil 6ml Peppermint essential oil 6ml spearmint essential oil 6ml wintergreen extract 5ml clove extract oil 5ml grapefruit seed extract Mix them together, shake well, put a drop into a cavity, or on the remainder of a root canalled tooth and allow it to soak in, for an actual cavity you should feel the oils soaking into it, it is rather intense, but not anywhere near the pain of a cavity. I don’t feel much for teeth that were already rooted. Hydrogen peroxide neutralizes the essential oils but you must rinse aggressively enough the essential oils down in a cavity get rinsed out, I use a dental syringe I bought offline for hard to reach crevices, and sometimes I need to hold my head upside down to let the h2o2 soak into the cavity to neutralize the oils(otherwise cavity will get worse). Done correctly teeth heal, done half assed you will get new cavities, the thing to keep in mind, the mint should never be sweet, if it is, you need to rinse with hydrogen peroxide immediately.
Most ecig juice has sugar. Coffee flavors, and tobacco flavors do not have sugar in my experience.
Also your teeth need you to consume the right nutrients: Calcium, magnesium, zinc, kelp, vitamin d, and potassium all work together to help teeth and bones regrow and grow healthy.
If you don’t have cavities, you can just rinse your mouth with hydrogen peroxide instead of harsh alcohol based washes, and that will help long term with cavities and mouth health.
You can add additional mint essential oils, and it does improve the results, but the mints must be kept in proportion to the non mint oils, you should always have 16-18ml of mint for the other mixes despite if you have multiple strains of mint(there are many, and they all seem to work)
I’ve always been fascinated with the '80s Sword & Sorcery genre; e.g. Willow, Conan the Barbarian (the Schwarzenegger versions), Deathstalker 1-4, Labyrinth, The Beastmaster, Red Sonja, The Neverending Story trilogy, Dragonslayer, Masters of the Universe, Ladyhawke, etc. Just to name a few.
I dunno why they fascinate me so much. I’m a very outdoorsy kind of person and I guess I like the simplicity of the medieval settings and lifestyle. Living freely off the land, going on grand adventures in undiscovered realms, fighting against evil forces who want to rule the world, and a hint of magic to make it that much more interesting.
Plus, the sets and costume design were pretty simple back then. I feel like I could probably make my own Sword & Sorcery films in my forested backyard and they’d turn out just about the same quality. I actually enjoy going to Renaissance fairs every summer, just because it feels like I stepped into one of those old classic films.
When I was living in Europe for a few years, I joined the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism), which is a global organization that reenacts pre-17th century lifestyles. Since I was in Europe at the time, we would actually rent out castles and would spend weekends living like medieval peasants and/or nobles, and learning all sorts of primitive trades like blacksmithing and tailoring. It was a ton of fun! Sword & Sorcery films just take that a step further, with action/adventure and fantasy elements mixed in.
I used to love these movies where they send people from a fantasy world into our world as a kid. I always thought it’s so funny and genius. Later i realised that that was just a money saver and out of laziness, and usually happened in the sequel. I do need to rewatch masters of the universe tho.
Krull (1983) is an all time favorite of mine. It’s the most D&D plot you’ve ever seen coupled with beautiful cinematography and a great score by James Horner.
He’s a YouTube personality who makes clickbait videos, does random stunts using millions of dollars at a time, and now has a candy bar offering.
If there is a Mr. Beast thumbnail that catches your interest, usually the last 2 minutes of the video has anything worth watching. The rest is fluff and sponsorships and BS worse than reality-TV.
I understand your frustration. This sucks major league. I know a fairly cheep German glasses company who ship worldwide (production for most glasses worldwide is Thailand, that’s where the company gets their products as well). They’ve got a very generous refund policy as well. If you want to, I can pm you their website.
Not if you use any af the same email accounts or accounts linked to accounts. I don’t suggest evading an overzealous temp bad by creating the user all_aita_mods_are_incels they took it hard.
I don’t think it really recovered after the mod revolt. A lot of the major subs have changed and the site seems more geared to delivering content than having discussions.
If you like some subs that you want to participate in, I’d participate in those. However, for a general Reddit experience, it just isn’t the same.
Yes, twice. Both for inane shite. Once for quoting a line from a movie in a post about that movie (Glengarry Glenross) which contained a slur, and on my new account for making a joke about a guy who happened to be Indian and was in no way racist. My pleas fell on deaf ears. I can’t say this strongly enough - fuck Reddit, it’s a shit hole, full of bots and power-hungry mods. Stay away. Here is better.
