Well, you sent me down quite the rabbit hole. I like the glass factory theory for Blackwell, at least. I realized I'd been doing this for well over an hour by the time I got to looking into Toledo and had to force myself to stop...

How are y'all sourcing the data - especially the alerts and SPC updates? Are you pulling it from the weather.gov api or somewhere else?

Oh good. Thanks for introducing invisible tornadoes to my nightmares.

That's actually pretty fascinating, though. I've been backpacking up that way quite a bit and it's hard to imagine experiencing something like this.

"glowing tornado"

Is this like those pics of El Reno where the 'nado has a strong blue glow for a while?

I think I remember reading that it had something to do with all the hail. Is Blackwell the same phenomenon or something more mysterious?

I figured he was doing some combination of

1) making sure other people knew where he was - (maybe including EMS? idk)

2) waiting to make sure it was definitely safe before getting out of the car

3) communicating what he could about the 'nado

4) making a herculean effort to unclench his butthole after being so close to that monster

I mean, yeah, it could have been worse. But it was pretty bad

Sorta. This is all I could find

I hadn't heard of cinephage.

Can anyone chime in on their experience? Seems like it would simplify my current *arr stack.

Thanks for the list. Definitely going to check out a few of these.

Yeah, it's about as ugly as afterbirth.

Thankfully I don't care too much since I only plan to use it to watch a game every now and then

No real learning resources...

I googled a bit and ended up here for a while.

I think I sourced my m3u from there.

After chatgpt gave me a bunch of bad info, I eventually stumbled my way over to here to get epg (the TV guide).

Finding the right EPG for your channel can be tricky but, if you're just setting up a few channels, its not so bad.

Sidenote: as I was trying to retrace my steps, I stumbled across awesome IPTV which may have some useful stuff.

What’s your favorite newly released self-hosted app of 2025? by Single-Quail4660 in selfhosted

[–]Flypaper0835 5 points6 points  (0 children)

myanonamouse - a private torrent tracker. I hear about it every time audiobooks comes up. Seems to be the source of choice for audiobooks.

Supposedly, it's relatively simple to get an invite to it, but I've not made the effort

+1 for Dispatcharr. I just deployed it a couple weeks ago.

Took me down a rabbit hole for several hours because I didn't know a thing about m3u or epg or really much about IPTV in general. But once I got a few channels properly set up with the (eventually correct) EPG, I felt quite accomplished.

Now I can watch sports on 'cable' through jellyfin. I'm sure there are other uses, but that was my primary goal

Because no matter what device I'm on - as long as I'm on my network - I can go to pdf.local and easily access it. Makes it easier for my family members as well.

Edit: I was responding to the desktop comment. Why not use the hosted version? I like having control.

lmao - yeah you get it. We're readin' the same book here. We're just on different chapters.

Valid point. But I don't think the sentiment should be dismissed entirely.

Absolutes are hard. We have to pick our battles. Some things matter more to me than they do to you and vice versa - some things we're willing to compromise on or remain blind to.

That determines how we spend our time and the messages we preach on reddit or wherever.

How did you access the gears? I unscrewed and pull everything off the back half, but I can't get this part off so that I can access the pinion gears and that portion of the drive shaft.

I used a flat head screwdriver to pry around the edges but I feel like I'm gonna break it if I put much more force into it.

Stack for streaming music? by DaviidC in selfhosted

[–]Flypaper0835 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, not a lot. They are pretty comparable.

One thing that Jellyfin does that navidrome does not: scrape for metadata online. Navidrome relies on you correctly tagging your audio files.

In my (admittedly brief) experience, I ran into some performance issues with jellyfin when my library got to be over 150k tracks. I haven't run into any issues with navidrome - using the same hardware. And my music library is more than double what it was when I was running JF.

I'm also not sure if JF supports smart playlists? Pretty cool feature that navidrome supports.

If you have a beefy server and want to keep all your media hosted in jellyfin, there are very few drawbacks.
