Why add the third party? Just run an instance of wireguard on your home network and call it a day.

Grandsinge ,

I installed mine on OPNsense. I used the OPNsense documentation: https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/wireguard-client.html. Here is another guide: https://www.comparitech.com/blog/vpn-privacy/road-warrior-vpn-wireguard-opnsense/.
And yet another if you want to set it up in docker: https://linuxiac.com/how-to-set-up-wireguard-vpn-with-docker/. However, the firewall rules can get a bit messy.

Grandsinge ,

Fair, lol.

After spending the time getting overseerr to work, I'm disappointed.

I guess it's just the way my brain doesn't assimilate information well, but I went at it assuming that when I was done I would have a product that would show up in Plex and allow me to use as a browser within the Plex system. Now that I'm done I realize it's just a single device install that that results in something that looks...

Grandsinge ,

So I don't use overseerr but I do use jellyseerr with my emby setup. Both are just webservers that use a webpage/site that you can login to and add/search for content that will then be sent to your -arr stack and finally indexed into Plex/Emby. You can install overseerr on whatever machine you like, but to access it your other devices need to know where to find it (ie IP:port of hosting machine). You should really set up overseerr on a machine that runs continuously, so like others have said, likely the machine you run Plex on.

I personally take this a step further and use an internal custom domain name (ie. jellyseerr.mymedia.com) that can be accessed from any device on my internal network. I set my router to capture all domain requests for "mymedia.com" and redirect them to a reverse proxy (swag in my case) that will then forward the requests to different IP:port combinations based on subdomain. For example: emby.mymedia.com, jellyseerr.mymedia.com, radarr.mymedia.com, etc. This allows you to access all your services using easy to remember domain names instead of IP addresses.

Grandsinge ,

This is always my go to.

Grandsinge ,

MAM is by far the best. MAM coupled with audiobookshelf is an Audible replacement.

Grandsinge ,

That looks great. Seems it would work well if you don’t want the server options that come with audiobookshelf.

Grandsinge ,

What are you listening to? I’m just about finished with Rebecca Yarros - Fourth Wing.

Grandsinge ,

Nice! I’ll have to check it out. Scifi and fantasy are 90% of what I read/listen to, lol.

Grandsinge ,

Ubiquity has always felt a bit shoddy and hacked together. Reminds me of the bad USB sticks in the NVR or the shitty G4 doorbells that would die after 18-24 months from a bad converter board.

Grandsinge ,

Thanks! I’m here trying to Google fu all of these words. I’ve never even considered looking for ways to get this type of content for free. Good to know this exists!

Grandsinge ,

No need for VPN, but keep the SSL on SABnzbd. At some point I should probably switch over from nzbget, but it’s been solid for years.

Grandsinge ,

Lol, I ran a very simple pfsense box on a R710 for years. The most expensive router I’ve ever had (due to power costs).

Question regarding ripping dvds (yes DVDs)

I know the majority opinion is not to do it for various reasons, but basically I started to backup the majority of my dvd collection that I created over the years since I have the time and they were just collecting dust. Turns out though I guess I’m doing it “wrong” or at least not in the original quality since I used...

Grandsinge ,

What is a D. V. D.?

Grandsinge ,

Yeah, not sure what I was expecting. Maybe a PSA about trafficking

Ripping Audible Audiobooks

I have a large audible library I would like to backup and make available for other audiobook apps that use less battery. I’d like to maintain as much information and structure as possible. I saw a self hosted solution for audiobooks I might try to implement as well....

Grandsinge ,

Just wanted to give another upvote to audiobookshelf. It’s a great audible replacement and allows for local downloading and server syncing. Great project!

My Pixel 6 Pro commited suicide this week ( i.imgur.com )

Woke up on Monday and my Pixel 6 Pro wasnt quite fitting in the case while i was checking news while having coffee on the morning. Pushed it in and it didnt seem to fit right. Took the case off to find it had turned itself into a spicy pillow and was splitting along the side. Was 1 month inside warranty, messaged support who...

Grandsinge ,

It seems to be hit or miss. My wife and I have both had Nexus 6p, Pixel OG XL, Pixel 3a, and are currently using release day Pixel 6s. We haven’t had any issues with ours.

Grandsinge ,

That’s exactly something a guilty party would say, lol.

Grandsinge ,

Prepare thine cochlear senses, oh noble audiophiles, for I’ve stumbled upon a sonorous marvel that’ll make your eardrums jitterbug like caffeinated squirrels at a techno rave. Upon placing these auditory gems upon your cranium, it’s as if you’re spelunking through the caverns of sound, where the bass is so profound that it feels like a cosmic beluga whale serenading a black hole.

Grandsinge ,

Not sure why this is down voted other than some people may not consider it ‘casual’. An -arr setup with usenet is fantastic! The setup has a bit of a learning curve, but it’s well documented in multiple places. Once it’s setup, it’s full automated and you just click on the stuff you want.

Grandsinge ,

Yep, been using them for ~8 years. Never had a reason to use anything else.

Grandsinge ,

Look into snapRAID. It does parity based data protection (up to 6 I believe). It’s free, opensource. I use it to run a nightly sync and scrub of ~3% of my total disk space, so in a month it scrubs everything to protect against bit rot. It then shoots me a nightly email with any errors or issues it detects. There is a learning curve, but I’m happy to provide some basic scripts for you to get it running in Windows. You can also run it on top of pooling solution such as Drivepool.

Grandsinge ,

Enjoying .zip myself.

How is it fine for pirates to pay for a VPN to not pay for a service?

I only use free VPN extensions or apps and I fully aware of the limitation of this. I use shabby ones, which don’t protect and probably sell my data. It slow and I can’t have only a few location. But I can’t get around the idea that people can pay for a service to refuse to pay to a service. Please help me understand.

Grandsinge ,

True pirates only get their Internet from the parking lot of a BK lounge, 😂.

Grandsinge ,

I’ve spent more time than I’d like to admit playing EQ on Imperium.

Grandsinge OP ,

Yeah, I can’t find that setting for compact and list. It’s odd.

Grandsinge ,

The only options I have under Setting -> View type -> Fonts and Sizing are “Title Font” and “Description Font”. I have nothing called “Self text”.

Grandsinge ,

Awesome, that did it. But also changed the UI font size. Not a big deal, the default was much too small. Thanks for the help!

Grandsinge ,

I have ~115TB of spinning rust currently. I house them (collection of 8-14TB WD white labels) in a DS4243 in which I replaced the IOM3s with IOM6s. I have this hooked up to a R630 (via an H200 IT controller) running ESXi with several VMs including a Windows VM running SnapRAID+Drivepool to manage the storage. I have the pool setup as a network share and run a docker stack with in which I bind the storage in fstab to my *arr setup, nzbhydra, rdt-client, etc. Someday I may transition to a full Linux setup with freenas, but this setup has served me well for years.

Grandsinge ,

This actually works very well.

Choppy video from jellyfin on 4K video, what to optimize?

I am running jellyfin in LAN on a Synology. I/O from harddisk shouldn’t be a problem being SSD on the same NAS. And WiFi should sustain a 4K stream. I have tried only web clients. How can I optimize the stream for such large file? Or how can I debug the bottleneck?

Grandsinge ,

Are you transcoding? If so, need to make sure your CPU or GPU are up to he task.

Grandsinge ,

You could disable transcoding. But depending on what device you are streaming to this may not be possible. The device would have to support decoding of whatever the stream is encoded as. After several issues with Quicksync errors with an older Intel CPU, I finally tossed an old 1050ti in my Emby box. I patched the driver so it can handle more 1080p streams (github.com/keylase/nvidia-patch). It is solid, fixed all of my buffering/stuttering/artifacting issues and I think it can do 2-3 simultaneous 4k transcodes.

Grandsinge ,

This is the way!
