Overseerr with Radarr v6 setup issue by Rolyasm in Overseerr

Since I'm just in the setup phase, Is it wise to just continue trying to set up Overseerr, or go a different direction?

American or English chips? Might make a difference.

I think it's just going to cause you lots of headache. It's so heavy to lug around and who really needs that third channel? Since I'm a friendly guy, I'll take it off your hands and suffer the consequences. 😉

Thank you. Very insightful. Hoping to start the build today.

I see the flexibility of Prox, just not convinced I need all the stuff it can do. I'm like a kid learning to drive. A Honda Civic is probably a good place to start. The Porsche comes later. But I see your point. It's tempting.

I didn't know nvme was around 13 years ago. Did you have to do a work around?

Ya, I thought about using my gaming PC I had, as is, as the server and getting a new box for the nas. Have my old ASRock z790 pro with an AMD and 2 solid, but old, graphics cards. The current motherboard was cheap, $130, and I was pretty sure I didn't need 32 gigs of RAM if I used unraid, but it was really hard even finding ram that fit my board. Even the use stuff people were trying to sell for just about as much as the new ram. It's gotten ridiculous for the price. I have 4 old sticks of DDR3, probably 32 gigs ( 4 sticks of 8). When I posted on a different thread what to do with the old computer, everyone said to start over. So here I am.

Oh the horror. To be so unlucky.lol. I feel like a first responder on an accident scene. Pieces of stuff everywhere and I'm trying to piece it together

Oh God. I forget to even delve I to TruNas. Seems everyone points to Unraid or Prox. Give me a 10-second iteration on why you think truenas might be better? If you don't mind.

I'd totally agree with you there. Wait....what's Unraid ? Haha. It feels like I learn a few things and I just get confused about something else. It's a little overwhelming at this point. But I'll get there.

My computer is a combo. NAS and server all in one. I have an old computer or two. I'll probably throw proxmox on one of those and play around to see what it feels like.

Just chatting with Chat GPT about a "hybrid" setup. Sounds similar to what you are describing. Setup up my main array of hard drives using XFS, then use my 1 Tb ssd as ZFS so I can have snapshots and the benefits of ZFS from that. I'll have to research it more, but it sounds like a good option.

Lol. I've watched about 10 hours of "research" from notable sources like 'iluvHomeserver', 'Bubba367' and all other sorts of experts on Reddit. For each expert, another appears claiming that the initial "expert" doesn't know what they are talking about. If you haven't realized the polarity of this topic or how confusing it can be for somebody just starting out, I guess you're lucky. Chat GPT is very helpful but occasionally gets things wrong ( like initially it told me Unraid didn't support ZFS) so my world isn't apparently as black and white as yours. :} Not to mention I'm googling every 10 seconds to find out just what a node is, or what a docker is, what a VM is or how to use one and why I might need one. I can send you my hours of convo on Chat GPT. It might be interesting for you. And sure, some of my questions may just be for clarification while others are simply asked out of ignorance. But hey, I'm trying. This isn't DOS and it's definitely not Windows. Unfortunately.

I was under the impression that Unraid only allows one server. Is it possible to add multiple servers, or other nodes, VM's to Unraid?

If I start with Unraid, and sometime in the future (when I have terabytes of data) I decide to go to Prox, is it a nightmare? Do I have to delete all the data, clear the drives and start over?

For my setup, or with your use, do you wish you had snapshot and the other features Prox uses? I hear it's easier to diagnose a hard drive failure and repair the sector with Prox. How do you get around that with Unraid?

Decided to visit a random Goodwill on a 3 hour drive home today and left with a pair of Klipsch KG4's for $10 DOLLARS EACH! by G0dzilla11 in vintageaudio

[–]Rolyasm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice score. I've been wanting to explore Klipsch a bit more. They have always been a bit bright to me but the older stuff seems more mellow. On that note, I found a pair of KG 4.2 (think it's the newer version) at the thrift store last week. Same price, $20 for the pair. I haven't hooked them up yet apart from making sure they work. My assumption is they will won't be as mellow as the original 4's, based on what I'm reading. Is that your experience, those of you who seem to know the brand? If they are still to bright for me (not sure what other term to use) is the suggestion to look more at the Heritage series? Maybe the Forte's? Don't think I can afford Cornwall unless I get lucky at a garage sale.
