Given your instance, I’m guessing you’re not from the US… but here there are two generally standard shapes for residential toilets–round and oblong. The round ones fit better in small bathrooms, but man when you are used to the oblong shape it feels like sitting on a child-size toilet or something.

I bought a set of mugs like that recently. It’s a shame because they are pretty nice looking, and comfortable to hold when empty. But when full of hot liquid, the handle just is totally inadequate.

They are from IKEA, so at least they didn’t cost too much, but I am a little surprised because their stuff is generally pretty well thought out from an ergonomics and usability perspective–it’s only really the sturdiness/durability I ever worry about.

The best mugs I have are still a pair of the stereotypical featureless cylinder type I got from a giveaway 10 or 15 years ago–they are utterly boring, but the handle fits 3 fingers for a perfectly stable grip!

I did the same as you at first TBH, but quickly found that as long as I dumped the files in generally the correct folder structure, Jellyfin would figure it out. And for the few it doesn’t, you can manually identify within the webUI as others have pointed out.

I also stressed a bit about shows, but have found that

/Show (YEAR)/Season 1/whatever garbage naming convention the torrent uses

generally gets picked up with no problems, even if there is an extra folder level beyond “Season 1”.

Thank you, this clears up some misconception i had about how the *arrs work!

Got it, thanks!

If all your current files are still in the “download” folder, you could probably setup the arrs and qbit as recommended in the guides

Yeah, that’s the rub… they are all currently in separate movies, shows, and music folders as Plex/Jellyfin want them to be.

But it’s sounding like the best bet is to leave the existing content alone for now and spin things up per the guides until I have a better handle on how it all works. Appreciate the input!

Yeah, I’m using Unraid, so this would all be in dockers.

I think maybe I had a false understanding that radarr (for example) interposes itself between the actual media files and Plex/Jellyfin… which sounds like a PITA to undo, and was giving me pause.

Thanks, this is helpful!

If I do a “clean” install, can i later identify specific pieces of media within a library to monitor?

I love scheduled and automation based DND, except that about twice per year, SOMETHING SOMEWHERE updates and causes my alarm to be silenced by DND, despite having my clock app exempted from every possible silencing mechanism I can find.

For the life of me, I can’t understand why that would ever be a useful behavior, let along default one.

Lucky for me, I have a pretty robust internal clock, but Holy Fuck is that annoying.

Not to knock on you, because everyone’s got different priorities, but I think calling it a “huge expense that’s no longer relevant” is a pretty loaded framing. A decent 75-ish inch TV can be had for about the same price as a middle-road flagship phone.

Sure, I can certainly watch a movie or play a game on my little 6" phone screen, but it’s an entirely different experience–in the same way that eating a protein bar and eating your favorite meal will both technically nourish you.

Granted, I’ve spent quite a bit in excess of the cost of a decent TV on the audio system to go with it, but pretty much anything other than watching rando youtube videos or playing idle phone games, I would rather do in front of a large screen with immersive sound–gaming, shows, movies etc., even if it’s just me alone.

I have some ratios in the 500s

I have around 400 items seeding 24/7. No problems at all, except that I am sending from my media server via my desktop,so I need to set speed limits in my torrent client to keep from saturating the wifi connection. (Slowly working to get things migrated over…)

Destroy it?

Like he destroyed Twitter by turning it into his personal propaganda outlet, maybe.

It sounds to me like he’s just positioning himself to control an AI tech provider who will conveniently be contracted to replace all the government positions he is trying to eliminate.

I just saw few dozen identical comments with a bunch of upvotes, so the idea of people randomly dogpiling one single comment for no apparent reason struck me as funny!

I seem to recall a subreddit like that… chains of identical one word posts, 20 comments deep, all with a hundred upvotes… and one poor dude with like -1000.

Fuck ICE. All my homies hate ICE.

Scanning this thread though, I was kinda hoping there would be one single “Fuck ICE” comment amongst the rest, that was randomly downvoted to oblivion for no apparent reason.

Well dammit, that was it. THANK YOU!

I feel pretty stupid for overlooking something so simple, but since qBittorrent never indicated any kind of connection error, I didn’t even think to dig into such things.

I’m using Proton’s VPN client, which does have port forwarding, but it’s not currently enabled. Could this be causing me issues?

Sounds like if I enable port forwarding, I just need to ensure qBittorrent’s “listening port” is set to whatever active port the VPN client is using.

Well butter my toast and call me Sandy, that sounds almost too good to be true!

Sorry, not sure if this is exactly what you’re asking, but scanning through the peers I’m connected to now it’s around 75% qBittorrent.

I certainly haven’t done any scientific testing, but I generally don’t see the same thing happen when changing servers within the US.
