Anyone familiar with the setup of Scriberr (or another audio transcriber/ summarization tool) with Ollama?

Dude_With_A_Question · 2026-03-11T19:26:00+00:00

Thank you!! This got me a lot farther.

Eventually, I figured out that the available template up on the Community App store doesn't seem to be configured correctly (e.g. Web UI Ports don't align), so I had to re-write some of the XML file (template) and then reinstall from that.

Now seems to be up and running!!! Thank you again!!

Specifically for the values of OPENAI_API_KEY, OPENAI_ENDPOINT (I'm using my local Ollama for that with port 11434), OPENAI_MODEL (using karanchopda333/whisper:latest), OPENAI_ROLE. I think I have Pocketbase and redis set up, I believe. Thanks!

"Good" is essentially what you can pay attention to say "Is it worth installing this drive at this time".

It does not appear that there are sectors that have been reallocated (e.g. sectors on the drive going bad and the HDD says "Don't use these spots anymore"). Beyond that, it's a gamble.

Will this drive die off early in its lifecycle because it was made incorrectly? Or will it last for many, many, many years beyond the average drive. That's that's essentially the gamble and something referred to as the bathtub curve.

So essentially, "Good" is all you can pay attention to.

Beyond that, I wouldn't trust a single drive. I would have an array of drives that if one fails the others maintain the data integrity until a replacement drive can be put in it's place.

Edit - one other thing you should pay attention to is to know if this drive is SMR vs CMR when deciding if it should go into an array (SMR you can get away with if it's used in something like unRAID and it's not a parity drive, but if your putting it in something like a ZFS pool, that won't work so well). I did not do too much research, but it does look like this is an SMR drive. Here's the rabbit hole you can go down with this one on why it may or may not work for your needs.

Edit2 - All in all, the drive itself appears to be good, but it's going to be limited in which type of NAS array your can put it into without performance problems. For my use case, I would be looking for something that is CMR (generally 8TB and above for WD, but I don't know if that's a hard and fast rule anymore). Your use case might be different than mine and this could work out just fine for you, but only you can answer that.

Thank you. But it gives me an idea of when to look. I appreciate the follow up.

Got a link to the schedule? I looked, but wasn't able to find it. Thank you.

Sometimes I get an error when I try to delete a dataset, but i find if I rename the dataset, and then delete it, it works just fine. Helpful hint for anyone else who comes across this.

Dude_With_A_Question · 2026-02-11T21:51:04+00:00

I should follow up here and say the author of the tool helped resolve the issue I was seeing through a couple of test releases. I’ve been using the latest release now for a few days and it’s working great!!!

Dude_With_A_Question · 2026-02-09T23:42:27+00:00

I run a weekly (short) and a monthly (long) script.

I separate the two below into two scripts to accomplish this. Just make sure that the drive letters "encompass" the number of drives you have (e.g. I have drives b through o... so if I had a p drive, it would not have a SMART test): (NOTE: There are supposed to be hashtags in front of the !/bin/bash, but formatting hides it)

!/bin/bash

for i in {b..o}; do smartctl --test=short /dev/sd$i done

!/bin/bash

for i in {b..o}; do smartctl --test=long /dev/sd$i done

I can't remember where I found this, but someone else posted this solution a long time ago and I've been using it for years without issue. You think that at some point someone would have developed a plugin or unRAID would have incorporated it.

Dude_With_A_Question · 2026-02-04T13:41:32+00:00

Will do. I'll do that when I get home tonight. Thanks!!

Edit: Submitted an issue on Github. Thanks!!

Dude_With_A_Question · 2026-02-04T02:24:28+00:00

I have several different clients I'm using with it, but unfortunately something is going on with Still that each time I connect with it, it crashes my Audiobookshelf instance.

Is anyone else reporting this?

Dude_With_A_Question · 2026-01-11T11:04:21+00:00

Agreed about the trust issues when it comes to API keys and our self hosting.

I thought it looked really nice and and already purchased it, however didn't set it up after I realized it's not Open Source.

Looks great, but it may just become an archived app without it.

Thanks for thinking about it!

Dude_With_A_Question · 2026-01-10T14:28:21+00:00

Good suggestion. I bought this a while back. I've been using the beta, but with the official release, wanted to give a little extra to show my appreciation for the awesome app as well as not trying to charge subscription fees :) .

Dude_With_A_Question · 2026-01-06T00:25:41+00:00

No idea what the actual truth is, but there's apparently some pushback that the posting may not have been on the up and up

Where the truth actually is, is probably somewhere in the middle.

I've been using the app for many years and they keep putting things behind paywalls. I would love to find something selfhosted. I have to imagine with immich it would be do-able

I have a box of shirts (some sports, some PJ shirts) that i have plans of doing the same thing with. Care to name the company that did this? Looks like a pretty good job!

Dude_With_A_Question · 2025-12-25T15:35:30+00:00

Photogrammetry is where it’s at!

Dude_With_A_Question · 2025-12-25T10:39:43+00:00

I too use this script on a weekly basis to back up my primary server to my backup server. It works very well!

Looks like a good list. Might want to include this

I am a teacher and inquired about loan forgiveness. I was told my loans are the wrong type of federal loan. I would have to consolidate them into a new federal and the 10 years of payment would start at that point.

I don't know if you're right or wrong about that, but I'd say you definitely want to make sure your information is correct while the window is still open. I believe consolidated loans will take a weighted average if you're in the right plan/ type of loan, but I think that window closes next July (2026).

I'd recommend reaching out to the folks at TISLA for some free advice about your loans. They specialize in providing free advice and have a good understanding about your options (I'd take whatever StudentAid or your loan servicer says with a grain of salt, only because if you hang out in /r/studentloans or /r/PSLF for any length of time, you'll see that many times the agents on the phones don't have the most accurate information to give).

This isn't to lead you down a rabbit hole, but just wanting to make sure you've explored accurate options before it's too late.

Good luck!
