I haven’t had much success with the arr-scripts, whereas with the lidarr:plugins + deemix I had.

I did not test it, but It should work, since it only pulls the albums, and is not involved in the download process at all.

Oh, and checks for existing ones, so there are no duplicates.

ad_on_is OP , 2 months ago

Regarding enriching MB. Honestly, I don’t have time for that.

I’m from one of the slavic countries and there are so many missing albums, it’d take me a lifetime to contribute.

ad_on_is OP , 2 months ago

Yes! It should work :-D

TIL, why my comments get downvoted. At this point, I’m not even mad.

ad_on_is , 2 months ago

Any specific reason why you’d want to go with NVMEs for your storage, and not just 2.5 SSDs?

If it’s performance you’re concerned about. I have 3 SSDs in RAID (external USB 3.2 JBOD enclosure), and they perform way better than a single NVME.

For minipcs, have a look at aliexpress. They tend to have the branded options much cheaper than amazon. Trigkey, minisforum, Beelink, etc.

I’m running mine successfully for the past few months and never had an issue. The only thing to make sure, is, that it passes the serial number through. In case it goes bonkers, you can just swap it.

ad_on_is , 2 months ago

I run a trigkey (AMD 5700u) as my NAS (unraid) and homelab, and a CW p-5 (N305) as my router (opnsense), and have no problems at all. So they for sure boot Linux and FreeBSD, which is 90% the case.

Unlike some old second hand, new hardware is more powerful and energy efficient.

ad_on_is , 2 months ago

name a feature…

No need to, they both have their place for sure… I don’t know their features, and I probably don’t even use most of them. but openwrt is solid enough for potato hardware, whereas opnsense is not. Also, my point was to show that both operating systems run on the aliexpress hardware, counteracting your claim that some systems don’t boot.

ad_on_is , 2 months ago

I haven’t updated bios on my main pc ever since I built it… so I think the concerns you’re talking about are more hit than miss.

ad_on_is , 2 months ago

You’re comparing apples to oranges here and this has literally nothing to do with the hardware that was mentioned in this thread. They all have soldered mobile CPUs. The N100, N305, 4700u, etc.

ad_on_is , 2 months ago

I’m sure if I dig deep enough, I might find threads like these for any hardware.

Just look at Apple. Their MacBook lineup has been a mess since 2016, and they are a “reputable” and overpriced non-aliexpress company.

And yes, you’re fucked if you buy something from Ali and it turns out faulty. But you’re also fucked if you buy second-hand. The risk of loss is equal.

ad_on_is , 2 months ago

yes, and that consistency is not guaranteed on the second-gand market either.

ad_on_is , 2 months ago

I’d argue that it certainly isn’t. Possibly the previous owner ran it under heavy loads, constantly, resulting in a degrading of the components.

Or they themselves were unfortunate to receive a faulty unit that started to misbehave randomly, and are now selling it after the warranty period.

ad_on_is OP , 2 months ago

I managed to get it somehow working, but it got rejected by Flathub, because they don’t want me to build webkit and use the network during build (which I need)

I’m working on resticity, a restic frontend.

ad_on_is OP , 2 months ago

but it works on my PC 😅

ad_on_is OP , 2 months ago

TBH I’m fairly new to this. Gnome 45 sandbox has webkit2-4.1, while my PC build uses webkit2-4.0. Now, Gnome 3.38 sandbox has webkit2-4.0, but it still doesn’t run, due to missing libs. And I don’t know how to put everything together, so it works without having to re-build everything.

ad_on_is OP , 2 months ago

Noice! I got a successfull build of a flatpak bundle (without webkit) using GitHub actions. the bundle can be downloaded and installed via flatpak install --user xxx.flatpak and it’s running.

Now I need to figure out, how to publish this to Flathub.

ad_on_is OP , 2 months ago

Bummer! Flathub doesn’t want me to use Gnome 3.38, since it’s EOL :-(

ad_on_is OP , 2 months ago

yes… since it’s way easier to distribute, amything, by anyone.

Speaking of which… I’m the official maintainer of all the crypto wallets out there… trust me, bro!

ad_on_is OP , 2 months ago

I had assumed, since I can do flatpak install org.gnome.Sdk and select 3.38 (there are even older 3.x versions to select from), that they left it for older GTK apps that are not (yet) compatible with newer runtimes.

ad_on_is , 2 months ago

But what about the Hamas that’s hiding behind all the Humans, and not to mention the beheaded babies. Isn’t it a bit too early for a ceasefire, since Israel hasn’t gotten its vengeance?

Oh wait… it’s elections year. Got it!

/s obviously

ad_on_is , 2 months ago

I too swapped my HDDs to SSDs recently, and while they’re in an enclosure, connected via USB, with ZFS they perform way better than a single NVME.

ad_on_is , 2 months ago

I use the provided databases in the docker-compose file, since some services require a specific version and I’m too lazy to investigate whether it works on my existing service or not.

ad_on_is , 2 months ago

I’m not interested in veering to the right

I wasn’t interested in smoking, until I lit up the first one with my friends

ad_on_is , 2 months ago

yeah, and I was educating myself on how people can get addicted to bad-smelling shit… and here we are.

ad_on_is , 2 months ago

But isn’t that exactly what right wingers do?

ad_on_is , 2 months ago

If you haven’t, get yourself familiar with Docker and docker compose, and then use portainer to manage all your stuff. It’s a lifesaver.

ad_on_is , 2 months ago

actually…Israeli Hitler would be more appropriate. Not all Jews support Ben (and Israel in that matter) … But most Israelis do seem to support Ben, otherwise they could’ve just just gathered around the gov building and demanded his step-down.

ad_on_is , 2 months ago

I’ve mine on a separate VLAN that has no internet access. the only thing it is allowed to do is sending and receiving UDP packets on port 14447/14449 for hyperionLED. And that’s about as smart as I allow it to be.

ad_on_is , 2 months ago

Wouldn’t put pihole or any other mission critical network service on a Pi, unless there’s some kind of fallback.

ad_on_is , 2 months ago

As some others mentioned, when the DNS goes down (which pihole is) your whole network is down. With the fragility (and slowness) of the PI, it’d be more likely it will go down, sooner than later.

Considering the cost, a good alternative, imho, would be some sort of thin client, with an energy efficient CPU. So, instead of getting 2-3 PIs, better get one of these TCs, while keeping your PI as a DNS backup solution.

ad_on_is , 2 months ago

couple of Pis are cheaper

Are they thou? In my region the 4Bs are selling at around 60 bucks (no case, no SD)… A “couple” of them (including some for backup and HA and Octoprint) would mean at least 4 of them, totalling at 240 bucks (or 300 with SD). For that money, one could get two (or even three) more-than-capable thin clients.

No evidence from Israel to _______ (insert favorite propaganda here)

Has there been any, ever?

ad_on_is , 2 months ago

yeah, eat a dick, Ben!

ad_on_is OP , 2 months ago

Thx for the info, didn’t know DAVx5 was free on f-droid.

why do you want to host another

That’s the thing, that I don’t really understand. I thought I could host a centralized caldav/cardav server, and link all the other services that have their own “implementation” of contacts/calendars. This way, if I move away from Fastmail, I could just link another mail provider, that offers their calendars/contacts.

Sorry if my questions sound dumb or newbish.

ad_on_is OP , 2 months ago

Aaah… I think I got it now.

Caldav/cardav are the standard protocols used in this case. So every sane provider uses them. Davx5 creates a local account and interacts with the android apps (like google calendar) by pulling/pushing new events from and to the server respectively.

So, I can keep using google calendar, with my FM account instead of google 👍 noice!

ad_on_is OP , 2 months ago

Yeah, I’ve heard about radicale. But the “merging” and sync still happens on the client side of things (Android). I was hoping for some kind of dockerized backend service that can bring together all the calendars. And the only thing I’d have to do is go into the backend, connect FM and google (or any other calendar) and link that (dockerized) service account on my phone.

ad_on_is OP , 2 months ago

but yeah, setting up davx5 with my fastmail account gives me exactly what I need. I can use the google calendar app to have my FM calendar fully integrated.

I’d like to see one defend this

Well, you see… according ro IDF, the hamas are hiding within these peoples anuses. So they need to electrify their rectums, to get these guys out there. I mean, it’s obvious, duuugh!

ad_on_is , 3 months ago

you can’t, that would be anti-semite

ad_on_is , 3 months ago

Literally no one is blaming all Jewish people in this case.

The Israeli government are Nazis, the IDF are Nazis and everyone else (no matter their religion, race, etc.) who supports this genocide is a Nazi. Period!

The problem, in this special case, is, once you point a finger towards Israel (or any other Jew who supports that), they use anti-semitism as a shield, they - disrespectfully - use the Holocaust as a shield.

ad_on_is OP , 3 months ago

Good point… I might add rclone as a feature later on.

ad_on_is OP , 3 months ago

Let’s move this discussion over to GitHub, where I at least get the notifications for new messages.
