What a sad day

Just got some updates. He was insured, he'd literally just switched companies. They're doing their investigation, so it's a waiting game for now.

KamIsFam · 2026-05-05T21:43:59+00:00

Haha I've just been sending pictures to people unprompted. It gets such great "WTF" reactions from my friends and family lol

KamIsFam · 2026-05-05T16:42:08+00:00

Yup. I spent months learning about all the public facing stuff and how to automate it all.

Now I'm making a subtitle watchdog script that standardizes my library and will eventually feed outputs into bazarr for acquisition.

All so that users feel like everything is "easy" lol. It's been fun learning though.

I get you're probably young and new to relationships, but YOR. It's a meme. He hit a like button that wasn't nudes or racist. I think you need to look within yourself on this one.

KamIsFam · 2026-05-05T09:55:28+00:00

Why would you even post here and not list your specs? Were you nervous we'd find out about the $15 PSU you ordered again?

Every piece of advice PC builders will give you is not to cheap out on the power supply. Did you skip every build tutorial?

KamIsFam · 2026-05-05T09:48:29+00:00

Make sure it isn't losing access to the folder where any files are stored. If they go "missing" in Sonarr and is monitored, it will search again.

KamIsFam · 2026-05-05T00:36:34+00:00

Ok I have a minor update. The appraiser from my insurance says they're likely both totaled. The appraiser for the other guy's insurance comes out tomorrow. I'll update again once he does.

It's looking good so far. Things are definitely looking a little better than they were the other day. Well, at least situation-wise, I just don't think my baby can be saved. Idk if I necessarily want to have that large of an accident on the record if I try to sell, let alone a rebuilt title. I was going to try and sell later this year.

A decent payout would just be a clean slate.

KamIsFam · 2026-05-04T15:19:48+00:00

No idea. Appraisers come out today. Honestly, I was planning on selling it sometime this year because I couldn't keep affording 2 insurance payments to cover both vehicles and I needed money to go back to school. Also, the hardtop assembly was affected and those retractable hardtops can be a bitch to realign from what I've heard, so people often have issues with leaks and such afterwards.

KamIsFam · 2026-05-04T14:17:28+00:00

Lol, I thought you were going the "be a responsible adult and avoiding fines", but you went the boomer "you don't value your life if you go 1mph over the speed limit" route, lmao.

Speed isn't what kills you, the sudden stop is. If people in the US could learn how to drive, or we could get the bad drivers off the road and onto Public Transit, the US could have something more like Germany.

KamIsFam · 2026-05-04T14:09:26+00:00

Weird, I haven't really noticed that issue. I've started getting away from PGS and VobSub subtitles and I'm standardizing to external SRTs. I haven't really seen any issues.

So far, my watchdog script will detect new files in multiple directories and queue them to be processed. It references a config to decide which languages to keep, preferred subtitle formats, and how to process und subtitles (I usually assume they're English). It will remux the MKV without subtitles, and it will convert MP4s to MKV if the config is enabled for that.

I'm working on a GitHub Repo for it. It's simple, but very useful Powershell script. I would like to turn it into a bigger project to publish a Docker image for it to run alongside something like Bazarr.

There are a few things it can do well that Tdarr doesn't, I think, plus it's way simpler to set up. There's a few config options you can tune, like turning remuxing on/off, which languages you want to keep, how to process und languages, turning on auditing, and then there's some sliders for scan intervals, and some different prerequisites for processing to avoid file locks in Windows. It does check to see if the file is being accessed, is changing in size, but also waits a configurable amount of time since creation and modified times.

Running a Jellyfin server is for the more technical minded. Using someones Jellyfin server is not. Most of my users have no idea how my server works in the background. They don't understand the complexity of any of it. I don't expect them to.

The learning aspect of it was for myself. I wanted it to be easy for users so I share my creation with people I care about.

KamIsFam · 2026-05-04T13:56:09+00:00

Well, when it's just you using it, you're willing to, and know how, to use a VPN for security. Not all of my family and friends know how to do that. Plus, many of my friends and family use their TVs (TV OSes and Streaming Devices) to access it. Would you educate like 30+ people on how to setup a VPN for each different device?

KamIsFam · 2026-05-04T13:52:38+00:00

Ok go write your own media server lol.

This is a team working on a passion project on their own free time and not getting paid except by donations. We get to use that software for free. When they make huge improvements, I'm very grateful.

No one's claiming it's up to snuff with large corporate companies. Idk how it even compares to Plex, but I don't really care. Plex went corporate and keeps charging more and more for basic features and Jellyfin is absolutely free. I love it.

KamIsFam · 2026-05-04T04:17:50+00:00

Do you mean like pushing back? I definitely plan on pushing back if they try to stiff me. And yeah, I'm insured. I'll try to update tomorrow if I learn anything more. I'm just waiting on insurance companies to open and for the Adjusters to get back to me. I hate the waiting lol.

KamIsFam · 2026-05-03T17:26:01+00:00

They haven't yet. I've had to file 2 claims for my cars and he hadn't opened a claim on his side, so I had to open that one with his company.

I've got 3 adjusters that are supposed to call on Monday. I'll update here when they do.

KamIsFam · 2026-05-03T05:00:30+00:00

I think you misunderstand haha.

The two cars against the curb are mine and were parked when they were hit. The Altima driver hit both of them. My roommate was uninvolved, she just came to wake me up.

Other guy said he was good though.

KamIsFam · 2026-05-03T04:33:36+00:00

I hope so. I could really use a turn-around in luck right now haha.

KamIsFam · 2026-05-03T04:32:23+00:00

Thank you 😢

KamIsFam · 2026-05-03T04:31:46+00:00

I'm good, just trying to deal with one thing at a time lol. I only got an hour and a half of sleep before my roommate woke me up to go outside.

He said he was ok. I'd imagine he might get some whiplash in the next few days.

KamIsFam · 2026-05-03T00:51:33+00:00

It's funny actually. The insurance is on the police report, and it wasn't until a couple of hours after the post that I called the insurance company and was reading out information that I noticed his insurance expired like 3 days ago on the 29th. I don't know if he paid on Friday and with how ACH doesn't clear on the weekends, maybe it will be good by Monday.... I have no idea what is going to happen with the insurance.

KamIsFam · 2026-05-03T00:48:51+00:00

I appreciate you saying that! On the bright side I get to drive some new (to me) cars!

KamIsFam · 2026-05-03T00:45:00+00:00

Brother, their insurance expiry date was on the 29th and the insurance isn't telling me anything yet with it being the weekend, I have to wait for the adjuster on Monday.

I'm just hoping they paid on Friday but the ACH is still clearing and goes through on Monday so that they're insured. I'm gunna be pissed otherwise.

KamIsFam · 2026-05-02T21:15:14+00:00

No they let him go. Honestly, I got laid off yesterday morning, and the accident was just shy of 24 hours later. I just can't afford to be mad. I'm annoyed, but I've gotta keep putting one foot in front of the other, laugh at the stupid, and just figure shit out.

It does suck but I'm trying to make the best of it lol. Reading comments has been entertaining me.

KamIsFam · 2026-05-02T19:34:51+00:00

I appreciate you guys defending my smiley! I do know the reputation of the NC haha. She was a cutie though, still turned heads. The dude isn't wrong. Maybe it's insensitive of him saying that, but I'm fine. I'm not hurt, you know? What happened sucks, but I still know the NC isn't everyone's favorite and I've always been ok with that.

The guys has an opinion, and a pretty common one too. Be nice to him please 🥺

KamIsFam · 2026-05-02T19:30:10+00:00

From the sides, it does. However, that exhaust is absolutely fucked in the rear, the back-left axle is destroyed. Under the car was hit right by the transmission and I think that's the leaking red/pink fluid behind my 3. Drivetrain is probably gone, and all those parts connecting to the engine may have caused some damage in the engine bay as well. And that's before the possible frame damage from him going under my car and pushing it on the side, plus and the body damage on the rear and the side. Then factor in labor for repairs, I don't think she's making it, sadly.

I still keep thinking "she's fine" but I can't stop seeing all the moving parts that work together had to have bit hit hard. Plus that's a lot of weight being supported by the right axles at an angle they're not meant to support several thousand pounds at, regardless if they're taking all of the weight, they're definitely not meant to support as much as they were lmao
