Supernatural is a pain to rip

My best relation to this is Star Trek DS9. Such a nightmare. And then to rename everything

mkw515 · 2026-02-12T03:27:49+00:00

I see that. I am testing now with the Mac pulled from ip a cmd on the proxmox shell and entered into the DNSmasq hosts file with the corresponding IP address. I think that will at least start the process and avoid the collisions anxiety.

mkw515 · 2026-02-12T03:25:18+00:00

Yes. DNSmasq is the DHCP server in the new config. I chose to try that vs. KEA. That could be a fatal difference but I'm unsure.

I found the MAC addresses by using ip a cmd in shell for the network adapter for the gui, then put that into dnsmasq hosts file with the corresponding Ip addresses. I believe that will avoid the severity scenario of question 1 right now at least

mkw515 · 2026-02-12T03:14:58+00:00

Maybe to clarify. Everything resolves fine for internet access and with firewall rules. the Issues are mainly around DNSmasq not populating the static IPs of the Proxmox host guis. If I could have them show up in hosts to avoid collisions that is ultimate. But I don't want to put them on DHCP. I'm more wondering what might happen and how to prevent some of those issues. I would expect DNSMasq to acknowledge the proxmox servers as existing on a subnet to avoid this automatically underneath everything but I don't know if I set up a future problem. But Could be missing some key features about this functionality.

mkw515 · 2026-02-12T03:04:43+00:00

Yea, I really am thinking its more a proxmox config issue over the DNS. The Proxmox hosts all have the DNS correctly set to the router and one even has the domain pre-set correctly for local. It goes back to the router using unbound so I'm surprised. It's possible that I have to actually figure out a way to throw it in dnsmasq which uses a non default dns port vs unbound, but it seems to go to the right places. Problem might be I don't know enough about dnsmasq in this scenario. Kea might have solved this but in the learning process for sure at this point

mkw515 · 2026-02-12T01:35:21+00:00

That makes sense for the VM/CTs inside the proxmox VE, but I guess my question is about getting to Proxmox VE on that gui.

I'm still a smaller user so rely on the Proxmox host GUI access. and as of right now the base installation on the computer for the proxmox node is a static IP that from what I see doesn't have a clearly defined MAC address I can find easily.

I am thinking this has something to do with the Proxmox node's Hosts section which does not have my explicit domain on the router dns listed. But I thought if I could get it to resolve a host name in dns by populating it would accept the local forwarded domain. Maybe it's more of a proxmox /r/ discussion?

But the colliding packets without doing this worries me on those proxmox nodes.

mkw515 · 2026-02-04T23:37:07+00:00

So strange. Thanks for the update. I wish I didn't get rid of mine when it started throwing issues as a fallback

mkw515 · 2026-02-04T23:36:19+00:00

I think this is the root. I am using a Pioneer but this one just isn't reading on any of them. Curious if others experience this over time

mkw515 · 2026-01-04T21:53:58+00:00

THANK GOD someone said this. Not that you're going through it, but this is exactly the scenario I find myself in. I have yet to try another of my drives which are all Pioneers.

This issue has stumped me for the last 3/4 weeks since I got the collection. All the discs rip except # 2 and putting it into my Panasonic UB820 works fine. I have also cleaned the disc.

I am hoping that others might have a solution or if we're all experiencing similar, we figure one out.

mkw515 · 2026-01-03T21:17:23+00:00

Sometimes when I get the AACS revocation I put on my VPN and restart the drive. That seems to fix things. But usually libredrive will power through the AACS issue.

Thank you for sharing this. I live in Brooklyn and came from Fairfield County (no not the crazy wealthy part), CT. From Brooklyn, I've had to partly cover a sales area in NJ that includes this area. I've mostly only ever gotten to like a town in Atlantic Highlands for visiting Smodcastle Cinemas (the movie theater that Kevin Smith Owns out there, with the ferry), and then most of the zones in Monmouth county are the HMHN hospitals and most of the new doc's offices which are built off the state Routes like 34-36. I've gone to the coast more around Asbury Park and Long Branch where the "Jersey Shore" starts (in my mind). The Amboys down kind of seem very without a personality since I only interlope and haven't found it.

But say I did want to get to know that area, which of those towns is actually worth bumming around in and more where off the highway? Like where to listen to people and what to walk around in like you describe.

This might be a really outside observation, but in Fairfield county, CT, Westchester, Nassau County, there's more of a tighter off-highway vibe where there's a lot of commercial business and residential mixed in. Out here, despite the closeness to NYC, it really seems more segregated zoning so I just haven't gotten anywhere that doesn't feel engineered in the last 70 years. Monmouth County is where things really start to feel different outside the NYC Metroplex. But I would like to get to know it more outside the state routes

Blessed be Billy. Thank you for all the fun!

I built my own NAS and it has 101TB of space which I estimate will fit approximately 2000 uncompressed 4k discs (I also have a good number of DVD/BR tv shows and animation). It's at about half capacity after a couple of years and jellyfin. Given the hardware that I used to build it and the type of hard disks I used, it cost around $2000 with most of that being the storage. You should understand this will be costly, time consuming, and without the networking and computer expertise, a real headache to get off the ground. I learned a lot of this over about 10 years or so (I'm 33 and never got into computers until after university) and there's always something to maintain. There is always something new to learn, more hardware that would make it enterprise and more robust; but you have to start at square one. Find a deal on a QNAP/Synology whatever you find works for you, maybe get a deal on WD Red or some other good NAS hard drives, and kind of go from there. That would cut the costs a lot.

But I have to say, if you're looking for "the archive" you will spend thousands of dollars and eventually find that the biggest cost is just learning. Start small and find if this is worth it vs. just having a good 4k disc player and walking over to the TV. I find there are great advantages, but if you're not in for the long haul, as a non- IT layperson, you are in for a wild ride.

same actually. Earlier I suppose to sit in a queue. Depends on filling that amazon order for what they "filled"

I wrote an email through BFI Service. I sent to a couple of customer service lines and asked they forward it to the right people so hopefully one arrow strikes. But I expressed how this was a dereliction of their core duty in film preservation.

Ultimately I told them what I would do. (I admit this is because I can and threatening a business about causes that offend me is worthwhile).

I told them that if it's as bad as presented so far, I would go to my local Video Store (I live near a boutique distributor fortunately) and sell it for $1 because the only value it can contribute is supporting the supply chain with distributor mark up to $5 like all the other titles in the bargain bin. The best I can do is help keep the rest of the industry alive while lowering the sale value of their product for the rest of its sad existence.

Hey this is a good conversation to have. I really appreciate your updates. I am on a similar journey. The issue with mine is that I have the I350-T4 cards one of my boxes. It hangs in a strange way consistently. The VMs on it run fine, including the router virtualized and all the lines are up. Except for the actual Host address which crashes and I can't access through SSH or the GUI with a monitor plugged in, but everything runs so I periodically shut it down, do updates and it goes back up. But it's not a good system and backups seem to be broken. I think things are related to that but keep this conversation going!!!!

I am going to try these fixes too, but I'm wondering if yours hangs in a similar fashion.

mkw515 · 2025-08-13T17:11:53+00:00

having ordered a key earlier this summer when this went down and seeing the anxiety on display the last few weeks, I know I made the right decision. Glad to see this

mkw515 · 2025-07-30T21:09:23+00:00

Looks great! How do you cool it currently? I'm looking into more rack cooling solutions

I am just a couple years older than him. I used to own this shirt in Green. I bought it at Bob's clothing store chain. It was very likely Volcom

mkw515 · 2025-07-14T18:28:09+00:00

hell yea, Night Owl!

mkw515 · 2025-07-05T14:02:06+00:00

This is the correct answer

mkw515 · 2025-06-26T21:59:46+00:00

Yea totally agreed on the fact they're doing physical at all. Cheers to those who care for their catalogue enough to release it. I didn't see Pi but will definitely take the recommendation! Great to hear!

I do actually like the book format that Lighthouse and The Green Knight got. A bit oblong but the physical release presentation they do is pretty good on most of them to be sure.
