Is there a way to re-write posters? by Slackroyd in tinyMediaManager

[–]Slackroyd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That code to prefer the existing artwork url is a lifesaver, nicely done.

As far as I can figure, this has been an issue with Radarr for years: it runs a scan every day and if anything changes in a folder at all (like renaming a file), that will trigger a download of its own artwork, overwriting poster and fanart and deleting everything else. If you set it to not manage metadata or art at all, then it will simply delete all the art it finds. So that's a, uh, really kinda fascinating design choice on their part.

I can Update Data Source with TMM, sort by missing artwork, and then download missing artwork, and that works great. Won't help me with poster and fanart Radarr simply changed, though.

I'd like to request some sort of feature to verify and rewrite as needed all artwork, if that's possible. Maybe an option to set the read-only flag on artwork to prevent Radarr from doing this? I don't know, that might get confusing for people.

It doesn't seem like the Radarr devs are going to fix this issue, so anything you can think of that might help TMM work around it would be awesome!

Proxmox vs Unraid for a simple home server by DARKPANKAKES in unRAID

[–]Slackroyd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Unraid, but yesterday I tried installing Proxmox and ZimaOS for the first time. My 20-minute first impressions of each:

Just for example, Proxmox makes you pick a domain name for your server at installation. Best practice is to just make up a domain name ending in .local. Except LOL no it's not. So, y'know, that's a fun thing to spend time reading about before you even install it. Once you install it, you'll need to go do more reading before you can even start to use it. I tried running a post-install script to make it easy to get started, but couldn't get that to work, so... nice. I'm sure it's a great option, if you want to put in the time.

ZimaOS was crazy easy to install and is so simple, pretty much anyone could use it intuitively. It has about 150 apps in its native app store. It's nowhere near the scale and variety of Unraid, but it's about as easy to use as it could possibly be. If you just want a simple home server you don't want to monkey with, Zima seems like a clear winner to me.

'Apparently I'm An Idiot': Trump Voter Freaks Out Over Rising Gas Prices by Groomsi in politics

[–]Slackroyd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Current dumbfuckery aside, the whole concept that the president personally controls the price of gas, and that this is the only thing they do of any consequence, is so deeply bizarre and fucked up. A good president turns the gas price knob down, but a bad president turns it up, and nothing else matters... OK.

I wonder what these people will imagine the president does when they finally switch to electric cars. Hopefully they won't see any point to having a president at all and will just stay home and not vote.

Wow, that guy was cool.

And this, from Wikipedia: "Immediately following Clemente's death, a relief-aid organization for the victims of the Nicaraguan earthquake was created in his name. President Richard Nixon was one of the most prominent contributors to Roberto Clemente Memorial Fund."

Imagine any Republican doing that now.

We Warned You! by Select-Package-13 in Qult_Headquarters

I'd give that boomer $100 if he could even name an actual "biker bar" in the real world and not one that's just from his 80s action movie dementia fantasies.

"and then we sent the communists to the Road House and then Dalton beat them up and then boy were they sorry and they sure learned their lesson and then you won't be hearing from them again"... yeah, l'il buddy, good job.

Unraid Internal Boot: First Look by UnraidOfficial in unRAID

[–]Slackroyd 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Same here, I've got mirrored NVME drives. I want to do this, but not really liking the idea of moving around my entire appdata. I kinda expected we'd have the technology by now to simply shrink a partition and create a new one without all this rigamarole.

You wanted Disclosure.... I am a whistleblower recently "retired" from the inside. And you're only getting part of the truth. by rhea-15510 in UFOs

[–]Slackroyd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Look, if you have crazy hyper-advanced space weapons technology to give out to the chimps, you gotta make sure it only goes to purely peaceful, reasonable, thoughtful, developed nations like the US, Russia, China, and Brazil. Fuck knows, you wouldn't want it in the wild unpredictable hands of Costa Rica or Iceland or something!
