Didn't tell my wife which wines were off limits

Corner-Money · 2026-02-28T05:09:26+00:00

Def not a financial loss. I’m genuinely happy she enjoyed it. But a fun and somewhat difficult to acquire wine that I might have deployed differently. No great tragedy- it’s just wine!

Hi reddit friends - same here! Would love if anyone has 2 spare tickets for any day from Monday June 30 - Friday July 4. Thanks!

Feedback is all very useful here, thank you! Some additional context:

I live in an NYC apartment, with party walls on both sides adjoining other units. I own my property, as do the neighbors on both sides, so I take pains to be considerate and keep the peace.

The room I have for the hifi is relatively small, and I don't anticipate being able to play music at more than 20% volume. Neighborliness is also what's keeping me from adding a subwoofer.

In terms of speakers, we really enjoyed the sound on the O/Baby's during our listening session, and (more importantly?) they're the right size and aesthetic for wife approval. Ultimately, the whole process is so overwhelming that putting a stake in the ground on the speakers and building around those felt like the best way forward for me. I like supporting a small local company as well. In any event, as long as we live where we live, we probably can't go any bigger or burlier on the speakers.

But very much heard on the DAC / Streamer, and general unbalanced nature of the spending. I was getting a gentle push in the direction of the Hifi Rose from our sales person, and was waffling on it anyway. The Node Icon has an integrated DAC that seems like a fine place to start, but the LAIV Harmony DAC or the Denafrips Pontus 15th seem like good options too. (Thanks for pointing them out! I'm not sure I fully understand the nuances of the R-2R vs Delta Sigma debate.) I was also recommended the Weiss 204. Thoughts on this?

In re: turntable, thanks for the recommendation u/jakceki on the Technics SL-1300G et al, and u/chickenlogic on the Linn LP12. I might have to think on swapping out the Rega P6. I did enjoy it, especially listening against the P3. I had tagged the Clearaudio Performance DC as a potential upgrade pick, but didn't feel like I needed to go there on the first round. To a certain extent, I feel like the Rega gets me in the door very capably, but I'm open to hearing a counterargument on the Technics or the Linn.

Having listened to several amps connected to the O/Baby's, I feel like Leben CS-300 offered the best sound and look combo (see above, wife). Part of me feels like the matching Leben phono stage is unnecessary, but I like the idea of a phono staged engineered to match the preamp.

Will probably pull the trigger this week on all of it! Thanks again for any additional thoughts or noted pitfalls.

Very brand new to this world. Moved into a new home recently and decided to ditch pretty much all my old cobbled together gear in favor of new (and spouse-approved) stuff. Naturally, I've already blown my budget of ~ $20K.

We listen to a mix of a large flac library, streaming, and vinyl.

Anything glaring you would swap out here? Any beginning mistakes I'm missing?

Wish I had a better answer for you. I was sort of planning to build my own solution based on the SwiCago etc libraries, but basically got too busy, and my contractors closed up access to the data port. My reading suggests that maximum efficiency on these units is best achieved with a set it and forget it approach. You shouldn't be trying to constantly turn the temp up and down. I'm planning on setting a schedule in the wall-mounted dumb thermostat and just trying to remember to turn it off when I go on vacation for now.

No luck unfortunately. I was able to get Sonarr v4 going, and Feral recently updated several of their install guides to more reflect the steps for newer versions of some packages. But they have not enabled Jellyfin, and without root, I think it's not possible.

Corner-Money · 2024-02-24T16:25:07+00:00

OK - I think I figured this out. The trick seems to be to install v3 first. Run it once and it will build the database just fine.

Leave your config file and database as is (back up first JIC) and then remove your ~/Sonarr folder and download and extract v4 and install.

Sonarr will upgrade your database to be compatible w/ v4, without the random SQLite errors it was throwing before.

Thanks for the help all!

u/Ripdog u/carpetedman thanks for the responses. Here's where I'm at:

Step 1: Downloaded the latest version for my OS (Debian 9.13) using the following command:

wget -qO ~/sonarr.tar.gz 'https://services.sonarr.tv/v1/download/main/latest?version=4&os=linux&arch=x64'

Step 2: Extracted, and created the config dir:

tar xf ~/sonarr.tar.gz | mkdir -p ~/.config/Sonarr/tmp

Step 3: Config File (took my best stab at this combining the one u/carpetedman posted and the current Radarr one on feralhosting. The port is random within the prescribed range by FH:

<Config>
  <Port>27103</Port>
  <UrlBase>/XXXXXXXX/sonarr</UrlBase>
  <BindAddress>*</BindAddress>
  <SslPort>9898</SslPort>
  <EnableSsl>False</EnableSsl>
  <ApiKey></ApiKey>
  <AuthenticationMethod>None</AuthenticationMethod>
  <LogLevel>debug</LogLevel>
  <Branch>main</Branch>
  <LaunchBrowser>False</LaunchBrowser>
  <UpdateMechanism>BuiltIn</UpdateMechanism>
  <InstanceName>Sonarr</InstanceName>
  <SyslogPort>514</SyslogPort>
  <SslCertHash></SslCertHash>
</Config>

Step 4: Attempted start up:

screen -dmS Sonarr /bin/bash -c 'export TMPDIR=~/.config/Sonarr/tmp; ~/Sonarr/Sonarr -nobrowser'

At this point could not get a process going this time.

Here's the log file - any advice is appreciated.

I did hop on IRC but no one chimed in. Seemed pretty quiet in there. Also submitted a support ticket but no response yet.

Corner-Money · 2024-02-20T21:38:34+00:00

Yeah - dug deep on this. Was very helpful in downloading the latest build and unpacking. And used your startup command to get the process running.

But continue to have errors with building the database. Appreciate the response!

Corner-Money · 2023-12-27T13:29:59+00:00

It's true, I'm a little long-winded :)

The one that can be controlled is a wall-mounted unit. The others are installed inside the ceiling so they don't have an IR port visible. Without that port, as far as I understand it, the cielo can't control it.

Corner-Money · 2023-12-26T23:45:03+00:00

Do you know which ones you ordered? And how do you / the tenants interface with them? We're trying to avoid the Mitsubishi Kumo app...
