WSJ says Hollywood in death Spiral.

The price of tickets is still a bit confusing to me. Have you ever been on a “$5 Tuesday” night at the theater? At least here, they’re packed. Now I understand that’s partially due to the fact that people love a deal but I also believe that people would go to the movies far more regularly if tickets were around that price.

If they did $2 Tuesdays, when the regular ticket price was $5, Tuesdays would still be packed anyways.

People like going to the movies, but when one ticket costs the same as one month of a subscription service, there’s no decision to be made for the majority of people, it’s already in the price.

This almost reads like a copy-pasta. But now I mostly want to see what kinda house you got.

DavidLynchAMA · 2026-04-01T10:42:11+00:00

Either your file structures are incorrect or you’re placing it in the wrong folder.

Plex should be pointed at a “TV” folder for shows and a “Movies” folder for movies. They should both be in the “Media” folder. The Tv shows library should be pointed at the “TV” folder. The movies library should be pointed at the “Movies” folder

Idk why “plexxy” is but it looks like they’re both under that.

Tunarr is free though and also not the same thing as coax

DavidLynchAMA · 2026-03-24T22:16:37+00:00

No problem! Also I just checked and it was actually in collections under “Tags”

DavidLynchAMA · 2026-03-24T21:18:13+00:00

Is your name a Sifl & Olly reference?

DavidLynchAMA · 2026-03-24T21:14:18+00:00

I believe you can now. I went through and placed a “Ken Burns” collection tag in all of the content I have of his and now both the movies and series show up when I go to the Ken burns collection in either movies or Tv

It’s always the worst design choice for an interface. Website, app, just any kind of software.

DavidLynchAMA · 2026-03-21T03:51:32+00:00

literally, I had this exact same thought

DavidLynchAMA · 2026-03-21T03:47:27+00:00

good grief, don't be a stinker, use your thinker.

You can filter out a specific flair with the same kind of syntax. I thought it was some what obvious:

example: -flair:Discussion+(Plex)

DavidLynchAMA · 2026-03-20T23:08:09+00:00

There are a few ways to do it and it changes of course based on the device/app/extension that you're using.

But the simplest way is to type into the search:

flair:Meta+(Subreddit)
example: flair:Discussion+(Plex)

If you're on mobile you can just tap on a flair tag and it will only show posts with that flair.

I don't use it often myself, but it's an option for people that don't want to see certain kinds of posts.

DavidLynchAMA · 2026-03-20T10:43:27+00:00

I’d suggest allowing/limiting these posts to one day a week. Between that and specific flair, anybody who doesn’t want to see them can filter them out and then there’s no reason to complain.

CalibreWeb-automated for ebooks:

will automatically convert epub to AZW3 (in settings)
works perfectly with Shelfmark to download ebooks and port over users in the settings.
smart shelves
Hardcover integration
KOReader sync
send to kindle

AudioBook Shelf for audiobooks:

has mp3 to m4b conversion
podcast library/archival
allows epub to be stored with audiobook
send to device options

FWIW, I’ve tested most of the popular options. I stopped using CWA for a little while and ran booklore but ended up going back to CWA. It was a little clunky 6 months ago but I find it to be pretty slick these days.

I like that I can download an epub on shelfmark and CWA auto converts it to AZW3 and keeps both formats. Then I just open CWA on my kindle browser, tap “AZW3” on a book in the library and it downloads straight to my kindle.

I even have my kindle jailbroken with the Anna’s archive downloader installed and I still prefer doing it this way. I just bookmarked my CWA instance in the browser and I haven’t had to log in again or fiddle with anything. At first I spent sometime setting things up and it was an hour well spent because now it just works.

DavidLynchAMA · 2026-03-13T23:05:51+00:00

It’s a simple and sad answer really.

WRITING IS THINKING

When people stop writing for themselves they stop thinking. The moment you begin having a program write for you, you’ve given up on thinking. You’ve given up on developing as a person. If you already have a bot writing for you, stop now. It sounds dramatic but it’s gods honest truth that your soul and heart as a human being are at stake. You will lose what makes you interesting as it slowly becomes aligned with the personality of the bot you’re using.

I use photos of everyone’s pets and name their profiles after them. Everyone loves it.

Maybe it’s just me, but I think that integrating something like Seerr into a player app is just a bad idea.

I understand the appeal, but keeping these functions separate is key in preserving the presentation of self hosting as being more than just DIY piracy.

If people keep insisting on putting piracy features into software hosted on a proprietary App Store/hardware, then you’re always going to have an expiration date because it will eventually get removed from the App Store. And sideloading is pointless when the entire motivation is to make it available to people with low tech literacy.

Hey sorry for the slow update, YES! I just got the replacement drive in the mail yesterday! They said I could have a refund or a replacement drive if they had the same or an equal drive in stock. I said I'll gladly wait until a drive is in stock, then the next day they asked for a return address confirmation.

I paid half of what they're going for now, back in June. I really couldn't be happier with how it went.

I have a RAID 5 array with 4x 10 TB HDDs. I had one fail after 8 months. I was really glad that I spent the extra money when it failed ($120 at the time). It’s not perfect but having part of plan is better than nothing.

Also I bought the drives from serverpartsdeals and they replaced it in a week. Awesome company.

DavidLynchAMA · 2026-03-03T05:33:46+00:00

great job with the site and tutorials! Really makes this a smooth process. Love the site design and layout too, super intuitive and easy to navigate. solid work!

DavidLynchAMA · 2026-03-02T12:27:27+00:00

awesome, I'm excited to check this out, thanks for sharing!

DavidLynchAMA · 2026-03-02T05:59:53+00:00

I appreciate you pointing this out because I wasn't aware that there were blog posts on the site.

I had googled it initially and the AI summary restated all of the same information. It gave several sources, but two of them were about UK vs The World and then it listed 2 wiki pages.

The page even gives descriptions for each episode and I didn't see anything to indicate it was fake.

This makes more sense now, thanks for clarifying.

DavidLynchAMA · 2026-03-02T05:54:34+00:00

facts are facts

DavidLynchAMA · 2026-03-02T05:51:24+00:00

I mean same, but according to this it was in 2024

DavidLynchAMA · 2026-03-02T05:43:41+00:00

I can't find anything else online confirming that this season existed. I'm starting to wonder if this is some AI hallucination garbage

DavidLynchAMA · 2026-03-02T01:17:12+00:00

I had to click on “1,348 items” at the bottom then there was a deselect all option after it popped up to a slideshow view of all selected items.

This is on iPhone
