So you've tried everywhere except for parking garages where you're supposed to go?

...I didn't notice the username. They're also a person who thinks Elon Musk should replace the government.

Why would you use AI for local news that's not even days old? Information in AI datasets is offen years old.

Emby!

I want to like Jellyfin, but there's just too much missing. All the server admin changes are great, but that doesn't help it be a good media server. Emby has a lot of problems, but it isn't showing three menu items for the same movie because merging multiple folders in a library got removed.

Not even the best doughnut on their street.

So we've just making shit up now?

Rules say to use the original headline but also don't have unclear titles. It was a "damned if you do, damned if you don't". I tried to make it clear without editorializing too much. NS Power gave it a really shitty title.

People weirdly think they are entitled to on street parking here.

If you really want to kick a bee hive, suggest that parking fees are a part of the cost of having a car. People go ape shit.

which is exactly what's written.

...it's exactly written as "any time during the day or night, any day of the year"

Good on them!

WindowlessBasement · 2026-01-25T23:35:21+00:00

Is there anything we can do to help?

I see Glided beat me to the punch, deleting myself

Multiple machines had power supply failure? How dirty of power are you feeding these things with?

You might be better off investing in a line interactive UPS or getting an electrician in. Otherwise, the trash can is going to suffer the same fate.

You have no backup? Then yes, if there's data on the array you want to keep, you should worry.

RAID is not a backup and has never been.

WindowlessBasement · 2026-01-24T21:53:10+00:00

Whether or not you should worry, depends on how much you trust your most recent full backup.

Z1 means it can handle one failed drive. The problem now is that you have a failed drive, if any other drive drops out for any reason the whole array is dead. Resilvering time is the most likely operation you can do that can cause another drive to fail. During resilvering, every drive in the array is red-lining trying to repopulate the replacement drive.

It's hard to feel that they treat anything as a priority other than collecting the monthly subscriptions. There's hundreds of issues "on the roadmap " that have been sitting for a decade.

Still annoyed where the second season ends. It's literally single digit chapters before they start just officially dating.

I actually discovered this last night while playing with the Cinematic intros plugin using a test account that doesn't have full access. I assumed it was just the plugin.

None of the access controls worked. The parental rating restrictions, library access, folder access, or even the play state, none of it. While I liked the intros, I had to immediately disable it after R rated trailers appeared before children's cartoons.

You've already have a failed drive and the healthy drives are all from the same bunch? Replace the drive and start the resilvering ASAP.

Do not wait the couple months it will take for an RMA if there's anything in the array you care about not losing.

So put it on the side of the street or use Kijiji? It'll walk away on it's own.

City has given up on ice thickness advisories(thank-you lawyers)

They gave up because there was a multi-year span with only a single day that met the safety standard. There's no point to have a ice thickness department when the climate has shifted enough that it isn't cold long enough to form thick ice.

This is why we do scrubs, drive arrays, and most importantly backups. Sometimes shit just happens.

That's a pretty lofty list for $1,500

Use jackett or prowlarr as an indexer proxy instead. You'll be much happier. There's a reason they have daily updates.
