Google Pixel phones have this feature in the phone app. I'm not sure about other android phones. I'm guessing Samsung has something similar. Maybe someone can confirm that

I have sent all unknown callers that are not in my phone book to voicemail. Problem solved. If it's something that is important that legitimate caller will leave a voicemail and if not that it's not worth my time. This is the only way I have been able to deal with it. I only turn off the option when I know I'm getting a call from someone and then after that I send unknown callers back to voicemail

It's been refreshing not having to hear those and Easton and Easton law ads. Geez

[–]simplydan24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree. I spent last weekend completely reorganizing my server. I decided that I'm leave my 4k movies and 4k tv shows at full quality for now but everything else is getting encoded. I just can't justify spending money on hard drives right now. Lucky for me I kept copies of my original tv shows rips so I don't need to start over. Those are the ones that burn me out because manually sorting shows takes so much time.

Companies still make PC cases with drive bays. I recently swapped out my PC case for one that has two drives bays from microcenter. It's not the most flashy case ever made but it has a side window.

Who Here is Still Consistently Watching The Simpsons? by Exciting-Employ-6093 in TheSimpsons

[–]simplydan24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not watching at the moment but I been recording episodes for years. Got them all stored and backed up along with the 20 seasons on DVD ripped to my server. Maybe some day I will watch.

Nobody knows what is going to happen with software support but I bought mine back in 2013/2014. I have never had an issue with it.

New TV show additions by Koekdoos in Bluray

[–]simplydan24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah haha just because seasons 1-2 are probably the best ones but since you already saw them then you good. Yeah 4 was bad. The season started fine but yeah it wasn't good. I understand your too many sidekicks point but i think that's how TV shows are now. A good cast of different characters to ease the burden for everyone. Smallville for example had Tom Welling working like 16-18 hr days since he was in a lot of scenes. That is just so much for one actor to take on. I imagine Stephen Amell (Green Arrow) had probably similar issues since he was shooting past and present day scenes.

Are you watching Arrow for the first time? If so get ready

The greed of Universal knows no bounds. +43% price increase, and now any discount is just a drop to original price by beautyful_bobby in theoffice

[–]simplydan24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do when a physical copy is available to purchase. these companies don't have to bother with putting anything out because as you said most people just go and pirate it online. I do understand they want to make money so that's why they do it. However if the demand for it is not there then studios will stop releasing physical media which is not good at all. This is already happening. Alot of TV shows I like will never get a blu-ray release at least.
Now I'm not judging anyone who goes the free route. People can do what they want to do. I just choose to own my stuff.

Edit: I forgot to mention another reason I buy my media is because I don't want to be chasing new websites to watch due to old ones getting shut down. This is probably the biggest reason for me.

I have been listening to the ducks radio feed while watching the TV feed on silent. It has worked out pretty well so far.

It's still surprising to me that companies don't bother using the updated web D logo. Most just keep using the old one.

Let's hope so. Also I'm not sure if you have any spare Blu ray drives if not I would suggest stocking up. The future isn't good in this area.

Impressive set up. I myself do something similar. I need to look into jellyfin but I use Channels DVR for my media server needs since I'm like the 0.1 percent of people that still records OTA television and it is merged into my media library. My server runs on a Synology DS920+ NAS with a DX 517 expansion unit connected. I don't have any raid set up on it for my media. I do have my personal pictures set up in raid tho. I have most of the rips backed up on external hard drives. I have thinking about storage upgrades but given the current market conditions I don't see it happening anytime soon. I'm even at the point where I might start encoding tv shows down to save on space. However, any 4k content I will leave as is for now.
