I would love to see this kind of repurposing of properties to be far more common! Malls tend to be fairly central, so they make ideal locations for being nearby everything a person could need in a residential setting.
Mailfence has shorter inactive account policies which result in account deletion, and its login sessions are terminated very quickly.
I have also experienced multiple mail receipt failures because of instable mail servers in their pool, but that was back in December, and never recurred.
I wish I knew how I went from having extremely painful hemroids in my early 20s to having painless hemroids ever since. But I highly recommend it, whatever it was.
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.
That would be really good, but this idea has been explored and unfortunately it is only viable on a very narrow amount of buildings. Most malls aren’t properly built to be housing and the costs of adapting them for housing exceed the cost of just building new housing elsewhere. And the costs of tearing it down and rebuilding are even greater. Overall, Malls are economic net negatives for communities, all single use infrastructure constructions are.
A cheap / half assed conversion would be a ghetto. It would be awful.
Sanitation would be a huge problem also. In an apartment you have access to air from the outside. Imagine everyone living in a box in the same enclosed space. Yes I understand malls have gargantuan (and expensive) air conditioning systems. It would still stink.
Not to mention the money. Even a derelict mall is still worth many millions of dollars. You have to buy or lease the building from them.
You’d be much better off creating a walkable community of low-cost housing in a low-density semi-rural area.
They tore down the big, stagnating mall a few minutes from my place years ago. It’s still a big, empty lot.
This would have been a much better and surely most cost-effective solution. Instead, we’re probably eventually gonna get another soulless office park in spite of dwindling demand.
I didn't know this, on account of like not knowing a lot of land owners. But I did know one (for sure), and they had some property that unfortunately burnt down. It was more economically sound for them to keep the place an empty lot with a guard and a gate than to build something back up. I think that's naners. But also the whole situation was some kind of nanas.
I heard the same thing for landlords in the past. That having the property in any state is better than having to reinvest that cash into upkeep. So you don't particularly care about the renter's life quality, as much as you care that they keep floating money up to you and not complaining as things fall apart around them. And keeping people in crisis mode is a great way to counter any sort of counter-measures they can bring down on you. But also keeping public support organizations under-budget and overwhelmed is a solid way of sending the message "you're on your own."
I know it's kinda like a learned helplessness thing - but when everything around you is shit, and you're trying your best and just keep sinking - it's tough to fight assholes. But this is all er...my thoughts on the matter. I don't know anything definitively. Just figured they're banking that property until it's time to sell. And anything that goes into it - is money that cuts overall profits.
I use it with a friend that’s really concerned about security and privacy. The only downside I’ve faced is that adding contacts its kinda bodersome if you’re not fisically together.
It’s supossedly used by the French government, so I guess it says something about its security and privacy.
I don’t keep any TV series after I watch them, unless someone else with access to my Jellyfin wants to watch too. So my collection is relatively small at a few terabytes.
