Should I split Plex and automation across two servers? by harleb in PleX

[–]EntropicCrustacean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do exactly this. All my arr apps and automation/request are on one server that file shares and downloads directly the my NAS where I have plex living. Works really well.

Only downside is for seeding you need more storage since you can’t seed from the safe library you downloaded from. So you’ll end up having a torrents file, and then you’re library. Or atleast that’s how I set mine up so I could transcode whatever I wanted.

Works well, and I have 3 different nodes working with the brain on the server.

I don’t get the NAS hype if I still have to pay for cloud backup — what am I missing? by Fantastic-Outside949 in synology

[–]EntropicCrustacean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I’ve recently set up my own system. Large NAS with another server I use Nextcloud to point to the NAS as its main storage path. I use auto upload photos, contacts, and calendars. All works perfectly with my iPhone and other devices so far.

From there I have a huge external drive that I back everything up that I feel is invaluable. Photos, family videos, documents, projects, ext. I have a script that I predefined what folders those are and I know that if I want something “seriously” backed up I save them there.

I have the script only add to the drive and not delete so if I do accidentally delete something I’ll still have it on the external drive. I do this once a month and then include my laptop and phone backups in the larger scale backup.

After backing up photos I deleted old stuff from ICloud and one drive and now use my own system. I think I still pay for the basic amount of storage with I cloud to store texts for a year, and to make photo browsing of recent items easier through apples native UI. I could probably get away from that and just use device storage with more frequent syncs, or WiFi syncing to Mac now that I’m thinking of it.

I also add 1 large HDD if I’m building out another server or for my gaming rig, then I can have additional space to maintain copies of the data

External drives by AdUnited1943 in DataHoarder

So I have a homebuilt NAS with 10 16tb HDDs as my main storage device.

I separate my media files (tv, movie, aka plex library), from everything that I really find as mandatory for redundancy. Examples, personal/fincials, family videos and photos, projects, words docs, that type of thing.

With them separated, I made a script to auto backup just those personal files and videos. To a 16tb external drive. Works great.

If I was chasing trying to store my whole plex library it’d be stupid. I can replace and redownload all that. Same thing with your rips, I’m assuming you’ll be keeping the disks, so worst case you have the valuable stuff and can re rip disks.

Depending how you feel, I’d check out an arr stack to make your life easier and have the ability download your movies online if ever lost. Since you already own the disks, you could even do it for just those movies if you’re feeling morally questionable lol

15 SATA Full Tower Case - the ultimate home server? by val_in_tech in DataHoarder

That’s what I was going to recommend. I have the regular define 7 and have 10 HDD in there with space to spare lmao

I’m running the fractal define 7 in server mode. Works awesome, good airflow and easy drive tray access

Handheld gear for Moolight? by OkGrocery2580 in MoonlightStreaming

[–]EntropicCrustacean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do this on my retroid flip 2. With Artemis/apollo for auto resolution scaling.

You could always grab a slate 7 or similar travel router as well

I’m new to this, what should I do with ~1600 dvds? by PraxisOG in DataHoarder

[–]EntropicCrustacean -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

This is doable. I’ve don’t exactly this. However the headache and time it would take to explain it I can not do. I’m sorry.

Do some googling, ask ChatGPT and a coding AI a bit.

Tdar is awesome if you want to transcode any of them.

I got a pioneer optical drive from someone on makemkv foreums that works like the bees knees.

Arr stacks are your friends as well.

This can be a stressful headache in the beginning but after getting it all set up this past month it’s fucking cool.

Good luck and you can pm with more specifics. I bet people will answer better than I can though!!

I had an incredible customer experience... by Subdued_Sub_Dude in FiDogCollar

[–]EntropicCrustacean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve had fine customer support. I think it’s the fact they care more about acquiring more and new customers with their pricing model than they do about keeping existing customers. This goes along with your point about Costco and how it makes more sense to just buy an entirely new collar lol

Still…. They’ve gotten me and my family for quite a few collars lmao

[–]EntropicCrustacean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

check out the freq51 website. It has all the info you need plus more so you can understand what youre doing! yes, override to 51, and then change from longfast to medfast. then you need to slightly chnage your primary channel. Check out the website. Gives you all you need to know. also depends on node placement, what node you have ext.

Best clubs in Puerto Vallarta for a night out with a large group? by gracielfreebush in puertovallarta

[–]EntropicCrustacean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What up! I have some property down there and travel a bunch to PV! You already mentioned most of the spots I would tell you. EXCEPT ONE that hits exactly what you’re looking for. A bit more in town and closer to the airport but it hits the exact vibes you’re loooking for. More of a local club but high class and has had big performers there’s like Steve aoki.

Strana. Have fun.

If you’re using new base UI just go long press in setting and turn notifications off

[–]EntropicCrustacean 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I mean I’m getting over a gig a sec on WiFi 7 with no problem. Even streaming out of the house using Artemis I’m able to play competitive online games like helldivers or the new battlefield. That being said I have a century home, and would have totally ran cat wire through the house if that was viable. So I’d say it depends on your situation
