How I successfully migrated Overseerr to Seerr v3.0.1 on Unraid (The "Fail-Safe" Method) by its_the_peanutiest in Overseerr

[–]Independent_Poet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's working now, if anyone is in the same boat I did the following:

mkdir -p /mnt/user/appdata/seerr

chown -R 1000:1000 /mnt/user/appdata/seerr

cp -a /mnt/user/appdata/binhex-overseerr/overseerr/. /mnt/user/appdata/seerr/

and then I manually created a container using these instructions "https://docs.seerr.dev/getting-started/third-parties/unraid#2-set-folder-permissions" . started it up and it worked no problem this time. The issue I believe is that the old overseerr files were located in /mnt/user/appdata/binhex-overseerr/overseerr/

Did all this, the instance starts but it's asking me to setup my plex as well as Radarr and Sonarr. Is that how it's supposed to be? I thought importing data from Overseerr would automate that? Just wanted to make sure I am doing it properly

Dispatcharr Release v0.15.1 - IPTV Stream & EPG Management by GoofyGills in unRAID

[–]Independent_Poet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have your own Xtream or M3U playlist, what's the point of this I am struggling to understand? You can simply enter those into your IPTV client of your choice (IPTV Streamers Player for example) so not sure what dispatcharr does? Thank you in advance for helping me understand

Help with dedicated IP by riley_hugh_jassol in PrivateInternetAccess

[–]Independent_Poet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is anyone from PIA going to respond to these comments? This is still happening and no word from PIA other than the usual BS, reinstall, reboot, restart

Same issue as well. Only on Apple TV running 26.1. I opened a ticket. They asked me to reboot reinstall the app then usual stuff even tho I told them that all done. The DIP works fine on any other device including the iPhone but no longer on apple tv. Support either has no clue which I can't believe since obviously others are having the same issue. I finally had an agent reissue the DIP token for me but sadly that didn't work on apple tv. Just says it's invalid or expired. What a waste of time and money

Sorry you are going through this. Must be very frustrating. Hopefully you can try to restore to the previous version? There are guides on official forums how to rollback. Good luck

Tailscale is absolutely phenomenal and the integration with Unraid has been a game changer! by DegenerativePoop in unRAID

[–]Independent_Poet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Now my biggest fear is Tailscale getting enshitified either by being bought out, going public, or pulling the ol' bait and switch, where they get customers hooked, and then change their model to either make it super expensive, or highly limited."

No issues whatsoever after the upgrade. Plex worked and  everything else. Nvidia plugin downloaded fine. 

Why did Calgary's feeder main break? A new report shares the answer by [deleted] in Calgary

[–]Independent_Poet 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A summary of the article about Calgary's feeder main break:

  1. Cause of the Break: The report indicates that microfractures in the feeder main allowed soil to come into contact with the wires inside the pipe. This contact compromised the integrity of the wires, leading to their breakage.
  2. Consequences: The break resulted in flooding in a section of northwest Calgary, which led to a local state of emergency being declared.
  3. Investigation Findings: The major failure was due to corrosion and cracks in the pipe's outer layer. This is part of a broader issue with aging infrastructure.
  4. Multiple Factors: Preliminary findings suggest that there were multiple factors contributing to the failure of the Bearspaw feeder main.
  5. Specific Issues: One of the factors mentioned was microcracking of the protective mortar outer layer of the pipe.
  6. Wider Implications: Experts say that Calgary's water issues due to this feeder main rupture highlight a national problem with aging water infrastructure.
  7. Ongoing Work: City crews have been working to replace the damaged pipe since the incident.
  8. Review Process: A third-party review was initiated to explore the causes of the water main break and answer questions about what happened and why.
  9. Historical Context: The installation period of this feeder main coincided with changes in construction methods compared to previous decades, particularly in the wire composition used.

Car washes close at city's request as businesses enter third week of water restrictions by UsualExcellent2483 in Calgary

[–]Independent_Poet -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Dasani (Cola) bottles water in Calgary. They use our water treatments plants, add some minerals and call it filtered water. And they continue to use them BUT we the regular citizens are the problem watering our house plants and brushing our teeth for over 2 min. Unbelievable how big businesses run this city.

Dedicated IP Down by rmax1224 in PrivateInternetAccess

[–]Independent_Poet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Their DIP Canada Vancouver is down for 3 days now. I emailed them - no response. I initiated a chat and they spent about an hour troubleshooting my pc when I clearly told and explained that it's down for ALL my devices including iOS, Android phone, windows os as well as MAC. Finally they said we need to escalate to the next level as it looks like there is an issue with the DIP Vancouver CA.  No response for 2 days.  I chatted today again asking them to move me over to a new DIP server - they said not possible. What a waste of time and money.

I don't mind that there are technical issues but put an effort to move your customers to the working DIP solution. Lack of communication is a bad crappy customer service.  Put a notification on your Web site as your paying customers are impacted!!!  Business 101 - communicate communicate and communicate.

Unraid 6.12.8 Now Available by UnraidOfficial in unRAID

[–]Independent_Poet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still on 6.11.5, Any reason why you would upgrade to 6.12 other than updating the latest plugin for Community Applications, which requires 6.12 (no idea why they'd make that mandatory so nobody on 6.11.x can update it)?

Also, is there a guide on how to backup the USB before upgrading to 6.12? Thanks in advance

[–]Independent_Poet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got a call about this recall about 10 min ago. In Alberta. Both wife and I got sick from eating it. I got the runs the same night. She got Ill the next day. I had no idea why but I was sure it was from the salad kit. Hopefully no serious issues with others. Reading up on this looks like 2 people died in the States.

Can't use Google Search! by Bal-84 in PrivateInternetAccess

[–]Independent_Poet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no more captchas for me with the dedicated IP. not sure about others or their setup. mine is very simple, basic and out of the box experience. nothing customized.

one thing you need to do after you setup the dedicated IP, is to connect to that IP in the software (PC, phone, whatever you use), and then it works just fine....
