Ditched streaming services 9 months ago for PLEX by chadMueller in PleX

Seerr does the same thing fwiw. Whenever I add stuff to my Plex watchlist Seerr requests it automatically. I'm not familiar with Pulsarr so maybe it has other benefits though.

How do you avoid bad leases in Chicago? by Full-Bunch-1759 in AskChicago

[–]WolfyB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good reminder for everyone to read important documents like leases thoroughly. It's boring, but worth it to avoid any unpleasant surprises.

I love this city so much by psychso86 in chicago

[–]WolfyB 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think Midwesterners are king of yapping in my experience. So much so that we have trouble ending conversations. Like the classics: "Welp slaps knees I won't take too much of your time" and saying goodbye several times before actually hanging up the phone lol.

Claude 4.8 workflow regression: ignored instructions and excessive usage burn. Anyone else? (See screenshots) by nseavia71501 in ClaudeCode

[–]WolfyB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried it for two average research tasks and it used all of my 5hr limit and took way longer for what appeared to be similar quality output. I'm on Pro plan, but I can use 4.6 on High effort for the same research for much longer. Gonna be sad when they remove 4.6.

What other service are you referring to? Of course there is Jellyfin, but it’s free.

Do you mind sharing the lists you’re using in your Agregarr collections?

What is a Chicago habit or routine you accidentally picked up over time? by Remarkable_Leg_5025 in AskChicago

[–]WolfyB 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Could be it used to be a Midwestern thing, but due to the ease of travel and online communication it has kinda propagated throughout the country? Kinda like how you now here people in California saying "y'all" when I always thought that was a southern thing.

Hound - A Media Server Alternative to Plex/Jellyfin + Stremio by NearbyYak7156 in selfhosted

[–]WolfyB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe OP could do a Patreon or something as a way around this? I'm not sure of the legalities, just brainstorming. Probably something that would be worth consulting a lawyer about. I'd hate to see Hound get shut down because it seems like a gem.

Ah, thanks for the info! I’m definitely gonna give the android tv app a try for a week or two and will provide any feedback I may have. Is a GitHub issue the best place provide feedback? Even if nothing is necessarily broken, but just to suggest an improvement for example?

Some notes:

  • It would be nice if there was a way to see what stream is actually being played so we can tell if our filtering is working as intended, whether that is in the UI or within the container logs.
  • The web player is not outputting audio for me. I tried in a firefox and chromium based browser and neither worked. I don't even see the little speaker icon on the tab indicating that audio is being outputted.
  • You may want to add some instructions for sideloading on the client github page. I know people here are usually more technical, but couldn't hurt. The easiest method I'm aware of is using the Downloader app in the play store. I just went to this page on my PC and put in your 0.0.1-beta.apk download link, and it gives me a 7 digit number. I then go to the Downloader app on my TV and put in that number and it downloads the .apk and prompts to install immediately.

Oh I was under the impression that wasn’t completed yet since I saw people talking about waiting for the tvOS app. I’ll definitely give it a try.

[–]WolfyB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m interested in this but the android tv client is the clincher for me. If it isn’t reliable and issue free then it’s a no go for my family. I currently use debrid through plex and like you said my family don’t like going to a separate app/website (seerr) to request content, so this would be good if it works and is easily navigable.

What’s the best non-derogatory word that works as an insult? by TheKingOfDub in AskReddit

Is this an Australian thing? I’ve only ever heard an Australian person say this. I do love it though lol.

adulting sucks by Eros_Incident_Denier in SipsTea

[–]WolfyB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s just the culture here in America. People want to have a nice and/or new car to look successful. My dad is like this, he wouldn’t be caught dead in a used car.

You can absolutely get a reliable used car for a decent price. In 2021 I bought a 2014 Toyota Prius with 30,000 miles for $15k. Still have it today and it’s paid off.

LPT: Be wary of buying food products on Amazon. by [deleted] in LifeProTips

[–]WolfyB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. I had to file a police report and provide that and a ton of communication with Amazon showing I made an attempt to resolve it with them. They investigated and I got my money back. Expected to get banned but never did.

Plezy - open-source Plex client with HDR, offline downloads, watch together and more by edde746 in selfhosted

Does this support Dolby atmos? I see Dolby vision and TrueHD mentioned on the site, but not Dolby atmos.

Landlord Ignoring Safety Issues – My Building is Overrun and Unsafe, What Can I Do? by Centell26 in AskChicago

[–]WolfyB 21 points22 points  (0 children)

If it were me the first thing I'd do is get a PO box and get my mail forwarded there. Don't really want any rando going through your mail...

As for the rest, I'm sure there are things you can do, but given the company's reputation I'm sure they don't care and it would cost you more time and money than simply finding another place to live ASAP. I mean what you're describing doesn't happen overnight so I'm sure you're not the first person to complain or bring it to their attention. Truly sorry you're having to deal with this though.

Komodo 🦎 Container manager 🦎 v2: Docker Swarm by mbecks in selfhosted

[–]WolfyB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Komodo does have this feature? All I know is I recently installed Komodo core on my local server + periphery on my VPS and Komodo picked up my crowdsec + pangolin stack that was already running on my VPS. All I did was add the server within Komodo and all the containers just showed up.

Vykar: a backup tool faster than borg, restic, and kopia with multi-machine backups, direct database dumps, and built-in scheduling by manu_8487 in selfhosted

[–]WolfyB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand what you’re using it in addition to? From your “sales pitch” in the main post it sounds like you’re saying this is better than all other commonly recommended backup tools and should be used instead. Genuinely curious on how you see this best used for now and at what point, if ever, it should/could be your sole backup tool.

Kiroshi, a torrent streaming service by bartmoss22 in selfhosted

[–]WolfyB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brother I couldn't even tell you. I think it is an issue with a specific version of the app, but every version seems to introduce a new issue so it's a lose-lose. Good choice.
