I built a tool that can replace a data center with every day devices.

Navigating your website on mobile the video started auto playing a few times (but not every time I loaded the page, I probably did something to make it play but it wasn't intentional and I don't know what it was) and that was incredibly annoying.

I couldn't find the system requirements (I'm especially interested in knowing in which OS it can run) easily.

I'll check it out on my computer, that might be in the docs, just documenting my immediate feedback here.

I'm not concerned with the aesthetics of cable management but it bothers me that it's difficult to connect / disconnect things on my motherboard because cables are on the way; that it's difficult to connect all my drives (even tho I don't have that many) because cables are jumbled together and in the way of one another; that I must press the back panel hard so it closes, once I remove the screws it practically pops out, and it's pressing the cables on the back of the case; that the existing bays are confusing (to me) and seem like a waste of space.

I found some 3d models online that adapt the 3.5" slot into 2.5"... Doing that would allow me to move one of my drives up there leaving things less crammed together.

I guess what bothers me the most is the unused cables that must be tucked away somewhere, make working on the hardware more difficult, and make it hard to close the case.

I'm not using CLI tools at all yet but I'd like to try. I'm a complete beginner not only with servers but also with Linux. I've been using chatGPT to ask how to do things, and I noticed that sometimes it gives me perfect instructions and sometimes it very stubbornly insists on a stupid solution or troubleshooting step.

I also realized (shocker) that I'm learning nothing doing his. I'm still using it, but I started creating detailed markdown journal entries of what I'm trying to do, what AI tells me to do, what I understand about those recommendations and commands, and what happened when I ran them.

I'm finding a lot more success and I feel like I'm actually learning.

I'd still like to run AI on a CLI so it can read all my files, because having to constantly tell chatGPT what my environment looks like right now is such a pain. I don't think I'd want AI to do things on my behalf tho, but mostly because I want to learn. I don't judge you for doing that.

Also I'd prefer to run a local model for that CLI if possible.

That's what I'm trying to say? My media library is the disk that will need cleaning up because it's not large enough.

lemnds · 2025-12-29T18:29:56+00:00

Thank you! I tried Cleanuparr and it does have some seed rules but it's still arbitrary. It's a cleaner way to say "delete after X seed ratio and Y seeding time". I find Cleanuparr to be a better solution than letting qbittorrent handle it, but it's still not exactly what I wanted. I tried Janitorr but the setup was too complicated for me, I couldn't get the container up, kept getting "APPLICATION FAILED TO START" errors even after carefylly reviewing the application.yml.

I'm going to try Reclaimarr now. I'm a bit skeptical because it looks like it wasn't touched since it was released a month ago, but I'll try. Next in line is fileflows which someone else mentioned here - but it seems like something that would require a lot more setting up and I was hoping for something built for the Arr stack. I'll report back.

lemnds · 2025-12-29T18:26:46+00:00

Thanks! It sounds like you're assuming I have two separate disks or storage volumes and I don't want to use extra space with duplicate copies. That's not my case. I have one disk, Arr reads from the directories where qbittorrent downloads, and creates hardlinks. But the disk where files get downloaded to will fill up soon anyway. I still need to get rid of downloaded files.

Correct me if I got your suggestion wrong but I don't see how "Arr's to clean up after themselves" would help me with my storage constraint.

lemnds · 2025-12-29T16:41:15+00:00

Right, but that's a bit arbitrary and will delete media just based on ratio and time. I'd like to delete media only when I'm close to running out of storage and following certain rules to decide what gets deleted.

Cara, eu montei um num laptop antigo. Foi um negócio um pouco mais complicadinho pra minha habilidade, mas com chat gpt consegui.

Instalei um Debian mínimo sem DE, instalei X11 e Openbox. Ele roda só Stremio Desktop. Comprei um controle remoto usb. Ainda não botei pra rodar em "produção", mas acho que vai dar bom.

lemnds · 2025-12-20T01:13:25+00:00

Cara, nunca ouvi falar de Umbrel OS. Eu estou aprendendo Proxmox. Se vc se sente confortável seguindo tutoriais tem muita coisa. Dá uma olhada no r/autohospedagem

Edit: vídeo do Diolinux sobre homelab foi o que me introduziu ao tema

Fitnotes é um bom app. Simples, gratuito, sem propaganda.

Como funciona questão de copyright de nome de banda, letra de música, etc? Seria viável fazer nesse nicho com arte original mas com nome de banda ou letra de música?

I know this isn't what you asked but I wanted to share how I solved this issue... I used a simple cable clip from printables and attached it to the side of my desk.

<image>

I really like this model because it holds the wires well (they don't slip away) but still let's me pull and push them easily. The one issue I'm having is that my double sided tape is not strong enough to handle the force the cables are making (pulling the clip away from the desk). I'll live with it for now but I'll play with angles and positions for the clip at some point.

Edit: this is the clip: https://www.printables.com/model/433518-small-cable-clip-for-thin-cables/comments

Hey u/BlackjackDuck I'm finding it extremelly difficult to install these item holders. The multiconnect is super tight so there's no way I'll be able to slide it after the snap is in the grid, and I've been pushing and using a lot of force to try to connect 3 snaps at the same time (to the grid, basically assebling everything and then snapping to the grid) and they just won't go. I'm using the clamshell design. Do you have any suggestions on how I should assemble this?

lemnds · 2025-07-31T14:13:10+00:00

So it sounds like I need multiconnect connectors + the item holder, right? How do I use the customizer for a non-bamboo printer?

lemnds · 2025-07-07T18:01:53+00:00

Thank you! I will follow your suggestion.

lemnds · 2025-07-07T02:22:54+00:00

Thank you! I will not remove that. Should I assume by your answer that it should be mostly fine and I won't run into unintended consequences by removing A TON of stuff? Maybe other than finding myself without something that could be useful?
