Proton, yes. There are some criticisms to make regarding them, but I think most are either blown out of proportion or a non issue for the majority of people.

skullgiver , to android in tested WiFi Direct against Quick Share and it's faster but I can't use it?!
@skullgiver@popplesburger.hilciferous.nl avatar

WiFi Direct is indeed a P2P connection, but not much else. The APIs are still there, but you can’t manage it easily through the UI anymore. And honestly, it never really made sense to do that, anyway. Connecting is just step one, you need additional software to actually use the connection once it’s been made. There is no “standard” for transferring files over WiFi direct like there is with Bluetooth.

Many years ago, some phones had “WiFi Direct” as a sharing option that used some proprietary protocol. Worked great on device that shared the implementation (mostly Samsung-to-Samsung, I think), but support was removed at some point. It was never really a standardised mechanism, even though it worked really well.

This isn't a too shabby of an idea. It probably won't be used but a mix of stores and homes in one building sounds great.

That would be a cool place to live to me.

Rhaedas ,

The idea of apartments centered around a grocery plaza has been a thing for a while. It's almost an answer, except it still requires transportation to everything else. Plus the stores tend to be higher prices to support the cost of property and because they can.

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 and Protonmail.

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 only use Mailfence for throwaway emails.

4451 movies

398 series / 36130 episodes

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.

What’s your electricity bill like? That’s 0.12 pb. Monstrous in my opinion.

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…

onlinepersona ,

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.

onlinepersona ,

That is incredibly efficient! Thanks for the info 🙂 I’ve wanted to be hoarder, but never thought I could afford it in the long run.

It must be pretty loud though, no? One would need a dedicated room for it, I image.

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.

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)

vulgarcynic ,
@vulgarcynic@sh.itjust.works avatar

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.

Darkassassin07 ,
@Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca avatar

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.

Honestly, I just wish I’d have known about and set it up sooner: https://lemmy.ca/pictrs/image/505906a4-6b31-4393-aef7-8c116ef10371.jpeg

dustyData , to showerthoughts in If malls continue to shut down and decay over the next twenty years, someone should turn them into retirement communities for GenX and Millennials.

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.
