WizTree my beloved

That sounds about right. I don’t use it very actively but I do have it set up. I might set this up as well to have them side by side.

I prefer sqtracker’s UI, but I’m glad to have other options to choose from (and memory safety with Rust is a pretty neat bonus)!

Honestly? If it’s your first time and you just want to watch movies for free? Install an adblocker (uBlock Origin Lite, for example) and check out the websites listed at https://fmhy.net/videopiracyguide.

I’m having the same issue on Android. For me, switching to desktop mode to load the Anubis check then back to mobile mode so the website is usable again worked.

I haven’t considered this point before. Currently clicking on every sketchy ad I see.

There’s no reason to trust random APKs for stuff like this anymore when Revanced exists to let you build the APK yourself right on your phone with only the patches you want. Highly recommend!

I would argue UE5 enables and encourages bad development practices that lead to the unoptimized mess that “modern graphics” games are right now. Their work is cool, but so many games rely on temporal aliasing for in-game effects now, and UE5 is the common denominator.

Steam and GOG have a strong history and userbase. 0% commission is nice, but Steam in particular offers a world of more value than Epic Games Store, including but not limited to a usable fucking user interface (I use Rare to play my EGS library because it’s so bad).

Steam games are DRM free unless you consider Steam itself a form of DRM. DRM is implemented by the developers of the game, not by the marketplace it’s sold on.

And I find it strange that you think GOG has a better business model than Steam and will be more competitive long-term. Why do you think so?

Never heard of bin but this is cool as hell thanks for shouting it out!

Am I mistaken that docker creates temporary volumes with a nondescript name and you can potentially dig up the volumes that were being used in /var/lib/docker/volumes?

My server pc is just my old computer parts. Ryzen 3 2200G with with 6Gb of RAM. It gets the job done!

I use Docker for my setup and mistakenly had my qBittorrent download folder and my *arr media folders mounted as /downloads and /movies as opposed to /arr/downloads and /arr/movies

The *arr programs running inside their containers don’t know that the two folders are actually on the same drive because it sees them as two separate mount points. Once I changed my *arr containers to mount my directories correctly, the hard linking worked as expected instead of copying files over. I then ran fclones and recovered over 700 GB of storage from deduplication.

I had a few metadata issues with Jellyfin until I changed the primary metadata source to be the same as what Radarr/Sonarr use so they all the file names match up and I’ve had no issues since.

I also don’t have a notable issues with subtitles in Jellyfin, but maybe your requirements have more friction. Have you tried the (iirc included by default) Jellyfin plugin to automatically download subtitles for your stuff? Or the *arr program that handles subtitles (I forget its name)?

Might I introduce you to the wonderful language known as Nim? Python-like syntax, compiles to C, C++, and even JS, has mature libraries and good tooling, and some memory safety features built in! And yes, you can use pointers!

They didn’t include https so the link doesn’t know what protocol it’s meant to open with

If you use the public instance you don’t need to set up or host or install anything. You can selfhost it if you want, but the public instance works just fine.

One person goes to the web page and starts a room. The other can join the same room by knowing the name of the room. (It will generate a link when you create a room to make it easy to send to someone so they can join by just clicking the link.)

Consider giving MiroTalk a try. It has several versions but the P2P version would probably be perfect for your scenario. It’s free, runs in your browser, doesn’t need an account, and doesn’t have time limit shenanigans. I’ve used it in lieu of Discord calls before and don’t have any complaints.

I swear there was at least one more server I looked at but passed over and I cannot recall the name.

Maybe Jellyfin? It’s best at movies/shows but it also handles music (and more). The native music experience isn’t great but it works. For Windows/Linux/Mac you can use Feishin (I use and mostly recommend it, also you can use the web app version). Android has Symfonium I use and highly recommend it, also it works with FAR more than just Jellyfin). I don’t use iOS but I just looked for an iOS app and found AmpFin (not to be confused with Finamp).

You said your users have their own libraries. Jellyfin works great with this. Out each in its own folder, create a new library for each in Jellyfin (pointing to each folder), and you can choose which accounts can see which libraries (and optionally let them manage libraries too so they can delete songs or modify metadata for the libraries they have access to).

I’m a fan of Jellyfin if you couldn’t tell…

I use Watchtower and haven’t had any major issues in the two(?) years I’ve been using it. Make sure you use persistent volumes for your containers and make sure you back up those volumes. If anything breaks, you can roll back to before the update.

If you don’t use persistent volumes, you’ll lose data when Watchtower takes down the image and replaces it with the newer one (which doesn’t copy over ephemeral volumes).

I also recommend for database containers to use an image tag that won’t update with breaking changes. Don’t use postgres:latest, use postgres:15.2 or something like that (whatever the image you’re using the database for recommends).
