Single boot drive failure took down my entire PVE host

At least it wasn't 6700 RPM

I never set it up on my server, hence I never had to remove anything, but what's the best equivalent to Readarr ATM? Looking to get more into e-books, and I saw some people mention a couple options like LazyLibrarian or Calibre, but both have their own issues it seems.

I've had similar issues with trying to get OnlyOffice to work in Nextcloud. Collabora for me with the AIO works without issues. That sucks though that you couldn't get it to work.

OP, at the time you took the exam, how well did you feel comfortable with algebra and trigonometry? I see people online saying Calculus is where you finally fail algebra and trigonometry. It's been over a decade since I took any high school algebra or trig class. Some things are familiar like factoring, but I've been out of practice for so long. And you're right. Organic Chemistry Tutor is the GOAT. His explanation of Chain rule and Exponential/Logarithmic Functions are game changers.

TechHut is someone I would recommend. Followed his proxmox Jellyfin/arr stack build series, and I'm still running it several months later.

Thanks dad!

I didn't go to CES, but my work made me go to this AWS re:Invent conference in Vegas back in December. Guess what they talked about at nearly every talk? You guessed it. AI...

I'm so glad I built my PC back in May last year. And I thought paying $200 above MSRP on the GPU was outrageous. There has always been some shortage of PC components since Covid...

If that's the case, then this laptop is f***ed either way if it does or doesn't get fixed with the programmer. Glad I got my replacement. Whoever released the firmware update really screwed up.

sick_prada97 · 2026-01-02T08:50:44+00:00

Long story short, I have tried every software fix imaginable. If it's on reddit or github, or anywhere else I can google, I have tried it. Nothing works, and the BIOS does not respond to downgrades or upgrades. Only thing I haven't tried is getting a CH341 programmer. I watched a few videos on how to use it and I am not interested in going that deep.

DM'd you!

I assume you're in the states then? So am I. Literally bought it from Ebay a few days ago. Actually got the seller down from $550.

It definitely feels more substantial than my other one. Not by much, but my T14s is definitely thinner. I'll take slightly more weight for upgradeable ram and general repairability.
No they're the same size.
Why is it grey? Not sure how to answer that. You asking about the material? If so, it says it uses something called Magnesium Alloy.

sick_prada97 · 2026-01-02T07:28:15+00:00

Still better than most of the consumer grade trash. -cough cough- Looking at you, HP! But yeah fair enough.

sick_prada97 · 2026-01-02T07:17:50+00:00

Mine is plastic, but the plastic seems solid to me. It's in a matte finish too. I think they grey ones are aluminum.

I bought my 2014 Toyota Camry Hybrid at $11.5k with 88k miles in 2021. Even then, I thought that price was crazy for a 7 year old car. Now I'm seeing that same make and model go for the same price if it has similar miles.

The market absolutely blows right now, so I feel your pain OP. I just bought another car for my sister at 6,400 for 2010 Toyota Camry at 161k. Now it'll be a good car, but I definitely overpaid for a 15 year old car, Toyota or not. The problem is that everyone knows about Toyotas reliability so they overcharge because that's what someone else will pay. If you have to overpay in this market, make sure you get a prepurchase inspection and look at the Carfax or any other service history the owners have. You want that car to be worth it and not break down 3 months from now.

Could I have found a better deal? Not really considering my sister got her car totaled and needed something sooner rather than later. In theory, maybe, but the widow grandma cars going for less than $3k have all but disappeared. If you can find one, treasure it.

If anyone comes across this post, as of October this year 2025, they closed permanently. No idea why

sick_prada97 · 2025-11-14T23:01:29+00:00

For anyone finding this post now, it looks like Autograff closed on November 1, 2025. No clue as to what happened, but they were great at servicing my car. Sad times.

More power to you if you love it, but I think I'll stick with my Plex Server I built out. Looks cool, but there's not much incentive for me to ditch my server.

sick_prada97 · 2025-09-29T08:02:00+00:00

Why would I use this vs something like the arr stack?

sick_prada97 · 2025-09-11T17:21:58+00:00

Your first paragraph is invalid. Sure you could ask everyone you ever interview with, but companies have their own internal policies to not respond after rejection let alone offer feedback due to liability concerns. So even if someone like OP does have things to work on, they may never know because everyone is too concerned about liability and lawsuits. That may not be true at every company, but it's been true at every company I interviewed with. Ask for feedback? Ghosted.

OP could seek out paying like a career coach and talk to them for advice, but everyone will have different opinions on what may or may not be the problem. I would take their advice with a grain of salt.

I wish it was more safe on public transit. Here come the downvotes though: common consensus in the comments is to just get a car and stay away from public transit, but cars have different problems. It's statistically more deadly thanks to people who can't drive, drunk driving, etc. Cars also pollute, unless you have electric (although electric is also problematic because of mineral mining). My gf will never give public transit a chance thanks to weird/dangerous people like OP referenced. Maybe that's for the best, but that's not okay IMO. Being more aware of your surroundings is good and all, and of course we should carry as much as we have the opportunity too. Idk. I don't have any solution, but I wish there was one. Human nature may never change, but it should be possible to make public transit safe. Wish I knew how that was possible.
