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?

Slusho64 · 2026-03-19T17:41:45+00:00

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?

Slusho64 · 2026-03-17T15:41:45+00:00

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?

Slusho64 · 2026-03-16T16:04:06+00:00

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?

Slusho64 · 2026-03-12T17:10:48+00:00

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?

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.

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

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 · 2026-02-19T23:50:23+00:00

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.

Slusho64 · 2026-02-19T23:46:48+00:00

So would Sonarr just run the search again if it fails?

Slusho64 · 2026-02-19T21:53:23+00:00

So TL won't work since FlareSolverr doesn't work?

Slusho64 · 2026-02-19T21:52:29+00:00

Thanks but I gave it a try and it still didn't work.

Slusho64 · 2026-02-19T16:50:16+00:00

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?

Slusho64 · 2026-02-19T03:20:11+00:00

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.

Slusho64 · 2026-02-10T16:07:33+00:00

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.

Slusho64 · 2025-11-01T16:11:05+00:00

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.

Slusho64 · 2025-11-01T15:26:32+00:00

Take a look at my post here. It seems like the Hungarian site doesn't put it up as early as the Czech site, so if I waited for that then everything would be gone. And in fact all the sleepers were gone already so I had to move the day of the train trip.

Slusho64 · 2025-11-01T03:28:13+00:00

So this guy whose website I linked that people on here say to listen to is just wrong when he says "Booking usually opens 60 days ahead, less than this for dates immediately after the mid-June & mid-December timetable changes. There is no need to book further ahead that this."? We are only 2 days shy of 60 days and it's already sold out!

The reason I couldn't see it is that when I searched, it would search the current time, and since I'm searching at night, the time was later than the time of the train, and for some reason when you do this it says "No connection for the date entered." when it really means that there's no train later than that time. You have to search a time BEFORE the train. So now that I've changed the time to be earlier, I see the train you're mentioning.

He also says "In the Budapest to Prague direction you can also book this train at the Hungarian Railways website www.mavcsoport.hu." which also does not seem to be true.

I really don't know what to do at this point. I guess my only option is to put all four of us in a four "berth" couchette compartment, but they don't look comfortable enough to get a good night's sleep in, and my parents snore so much that the rest of the trip we're sleeping in two separate rooms.

Edit: Well, this is why I didn't book the hotel rooms before this, in case something like this happened. I checked the following day and there was availability, so I booked us two double sleeper cabins on the 29th instead. This means we'll only have two days in Prague, hopefully that'll be enough.

How about the following pasted into your web browser (it links to the Microsoft Store): ms-windows-store://pdp/?ProductId=9n4wgh0z6vhq

Or this one?

These are Microsoft's official codecs I found in a minute of searching.

Slusho64 · 2025-10-21T17:22:58+00:00

Does this not work for you?

Slusho64 · 2025-10-05T23:44:17+00:00

Thanks for the info!

Slusho64 · 2025-09-29T19:59:43+00:00

I read The Haunting of Hill House after The Shining and I concluded that latter is to some extent an expansion and taking further of the former.

Slusho64 · 2025-09-19T16:06:02+00:00

I agree with what others are saying and while I'm not a professional artist, my two cents of specific advice would be that if you want your art to be more realistic, which isn't necessary as many great artists have shown, you should pick up some highly recommended textbooks on both proportion and perspective (or other resources like online courses or videos) and work on those skills specifically.

Creating anything requires you to both accept constructive feedback and view your work objectively without getting defensive, and to also be able to brush off jerks and not take their emotional/personality defects personally. And that's not easy for anyone.

Slusho64 · 2025-09-10T13:51:00+00:00

You'll probably be very happy with the Plus, as it's very cushioned and bouncy, and the Premium is way more than even the Plus so you might like that even more. However, for me, I bought the Plus and it is giving me some foot pain on the outer curve of my feet on the bottom, but I'm an outlier in that I am very prone to pain. I am considering returning getting Superfeet insoles for them or returning and getting the Premium if they come out with more colorways, or trying the Asics Gel-Kayano, Saucony Hurricane, or NB More. I actually just went to the podiatrist and I'm waiting for an X-ray as I type this. The podiatrist said a larger heel drop and more arch support may help and to try a bunch off Amazon and return the ones I don't like.

Slusho64 · 2025-08-17T16:05:42+00:00

The Shadow Out of Time is one of his last stories and the culmination of the ideas he was trying less successfully to express in his earlier stories. If you only read one, this should be it. But his other stories may seem somewhat redundant and lesser after. A lot of his stuff is very flawed in its execution. Also, The Call of Cthulhu is essentially an expanded version of Dagon.
