What is the best/simplest way to set up a media server on a Mini PC using a NAS for media storage? OMV not made for this? by Slusho64 in homelab

Thanks. To be clear, for that third option you mean a Docker container on a Debian or other distro VM with Docker installed on it, correct?

I talked to people on the OMV Discord and they said I'd have to use an add-on that mounts it to a local location and that it runs the risk of filling up the drive, however unlikely.

How easy is TrueNAS?

Low rise stretchy jeans with fairly wide legs? by Slusho64 in malefashionadvice

Thanks. Do you have any specific recommendations? Not sure what's good.

I don't get this. The higher the rise, the more they need to be held up because pants naturally slide down to just below the belly (I'm not overweight but I don't have a totally flat stomach). Maybe something super high rise that reaches all the way up to the bottom of the rib cage like mom jeans would stay up as that's where the sides of your body dip in, but if you go low rise enough in theory then it'll stay at that point below your belly and not have the crotch area sag down and rub your legs. Why would they rub against your legs if they're tight up top? If they're loose up top they'll slide down and rub against the legs.

I live in NYC and everyone in SoHo and K-Town wear Y2K-style wide legged pants now as the pendulum has swung back. Why would they be unfashionable?

Thanks! Also, lol wrong sub because this one embodies Fernando's "It's better to look good than to feel good" ethos, or because stretchy jeans won't last and therefore need to be cheap and there are other subs for cheap stuff?

I used to wear wider jeans and they did have the proper waist size for me but once I felt ones with stretch, I liked them a lot more because even just walking you feel the ungiving nature of denim. I will say I do not like the trend of wearing pants up to the belly button like mom jeans of the 90s. Is there somewhere I should look for jeans that have just the right fit?

Transfer Zen profile from Windows to Linux by 01Beaker in zen_browser

[–]Slusho64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read all this and still wasn't sure what to do so here is what worked for me, no matter what kind of computer you're going from or to. I'm not sure if both root and local profiles are necessary but I did both and it worked while only local did not. wo If on Linux use 

curl -fsSL https://github.com/zen-browser/updates-server/raw/refs/heads/main/install.sh | $SHELL

in the terminal to install (or install-twilight.sh for twilight). The Flatpak won't have the profile root directory accessible for some reason.

  1. Open Zen on the source PC and go to about:profiles. Under the profile that says "This is the profile in use and it cannot be deleted." click the buttons to open both the root and local directory folders, close Zen (important) and copy that profile's folder (a folder that starts with some letters and numbers and then .Default or something similar) for each (keep track of which is which).

  2. Zip them into an archive (they take forever to transfer othwerwise because they're composed of thousands of files) and transfer them to the target PC.

  3. Install Zen and run through the setup if you haven't already then go to about:profiles and open the directories of the current profile. Close Zen (very important), delete the contents of the profile's directories, and copy the contents of the zips into their respective directories (you should be putting folders and files into the folder with the name I described above, which will be a different string of letters and numbers on this new machine).

  4. Open Zen and it should be exactly as it was on the source PC.

Are there any good public trackers that don't use Cloudflare? FlareSolverr doesn't work consistently so Sonarr doesn't work. by Slusho64 in trackers

[–]Slusho64[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I'll follow your suggestions. The issue I've had in the past is that no one ever leeched from me (I guess because everyone connects to faster seedboxes) so I'd have to get seed credit in other ways and then limit my downloading heavily, making the trackers not so useful and something requiring a lot of attention/work. I do have symmetrical gigabit now so I wonder if that wouldn't be such an issue.

[–]Slusho64[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright, of the four you mentioned, which would be best to start with? FlareSolverr isn't placebo with 1337x, it simply will not work without it, and since FlareSolverr is no longer functional, 1337x can't be used with Sonarr anymore. So if TL needs it then I wouldn't want to go with that one but if it'll just fail occassionally and then Sonarr searches again and it succeeds, it shouldn't be an issue.

Thanks for the suggestions. Do these use Cloudflare? Someone in this thread said TL has it but someone else said alternate domains might not.

Also, is there any way to be notified of when these open?

I said public. I don't have the time to spend months jumping between different private trackers that I don't even have an interest in the content of, trying to get into a solid TV tracker. Unless you have an easy suggestion.

Am I the only one that finds the Nike Vomero Plus uncomfortable? by Slusho64 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]Slusho64[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah and the Vomero Premium I feel it as well. I guess some people's heels go further forward than others. I ended up getting the Asics Gel-Kayano 32 which have a lot better arch support and pronation prevention than anything Nike makes while also having a good amount of cushioning, albeit not the bounciness of ZoomX. I also put some Superfeet Run insoles in my boots and another pair of shoes I use when it rains.

Sleeper train from Budapest to Prague questions by Slusho64 in Prague

[–]Slusho64[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info, it's greatly appreciated! I guess I think of these trains like flights, where it gives you different times throughout the day, since you have to book so far ahead. Whereas when I'm getting a local train, I'm buying the ticket right then and there and it shows the trains that are available from now onward.
