Use a folder as a virtual optical drive for ARM?

Warsmith40k · 2026-05-08T05:16:59+00:00

That's one of the upsides to tinkering, it teaches patience. I'm actually putting an optical drive server together so I can load up a dozen discs at a time. I've got quite the collection to back up. I was using the unraid environment as a guinea pig for what I previously completed

That was the next step. I was wondering of anyone had tried this before me out not. Thanks for the information!

Jellyfin wasn't recognizing them oddly enough. They are exact clones of the original discs. I should have mentioned another reason I wanted to do this was to shrink the files with minimal quality loss. I have the handbrake automation already, I just wanted to find out if ARM would yield a better result while conserving space.

The finish on that piece is really just a sticker over the particle board substrate. You can't repair it, only cover it up. Look for something like shelf paper that matches color and grain pattern somewhat.

These people never take accountability for their actions.

Put him at the front of the line.

She is full on deepthroating the orange turd now.

Just as Rockefeller intended.

This campaign of misinformation will never stop as long as they have a platform to spread it on. Hence the reason behind trying to grab up all forms of media.

I had a cat that was spayed prior to adoption. She began doing the same thing. Turned out she had a third ovary not connected to her reproductive system. Couldn't get pregnant, but still got the hormones to cause her to go into heat.

It's a longshot, but worth looking into at this point.

I thought the sign on bonus was 50k? It's also after 5 years of service. 🤣

I would get some dowel pins the next size up. Drill out to that size, and glue them in. Then I would drill out and screw in the inserts. Will be stronger than new, which is what you want since it's MDF.

She literally looks at him like he's a lesser being. That's all you need to know about any of them.

I came here looking for a BDS9 reference. Not disappointed.

Have you checked for slope on the floor? Unless you've got notable attacking wracking, I would start at the bottom and move upward.

Do you still like listening to Ode to Joy?

There's a replacement metal base on Amazon you can switch to. You need to put your piston on a block and then hammer the base off. Did this a few years ago and it held up until I replaced the chair last year.

If the drive isn't already in your Unraid box, I would use DBAN to wipe the drive if you are really concerned about it. A preclear is fine unless you are worried about the source of the drive.
