Yea, I wish transmission did that too. Qbittorrent kept randomly soft crashing on me. It’d work fine for weeks, but suddenly all new torrents added wouldn’t start downloading. I’d think it was the torrent, so I’d grab a handfull of alternatives, but nada. Reboot qbittorrent and it was fine and suddenly I’d have half a dozen copies of what I wanted. It was frustrating, plus the ui on mobile was bad. Vuetorrent was awesome though.

I’ll look at cleanuperr that looks helpful.

No they aren’t that sophisticated. I can’t think of them off the top of my head, they’ve all been blocked by sonarr.

I did a quick search and here are the malicious filetypes I found for Murderbot s01e04 right now: .arj .lnk

if you do a search on thepiratebay and rargb you’ll find a bunch. Many of them have been blocked and reported, but they get reuploaded as fast as they get taken down. I’ve seen other types before though. I actually blame the *.arr stack for this. These files wouldn’t get downloaded, except by the most ignorant, but the easy automation makes people complacent and more easily fall victim to the scam.

That works for movies, but not for tvshows. There have been multiple tickets written against sonarr to prevent it from searching for episodes before they’re aired, but tgey refuse and say to stop using sucky indexers

Careful, I’ve seen an uptick in malicious files being uploaded for popular tv shows. Including murderbot. You likely downloaded one of those. There shouldn’t be any DRM in pirated media. I’ve noticed it mostly in episodes before they are released. So the day after murderbot episode 2 came out my sonarr started trying to download episode 3. They were all malicious files, on all my trackers except for my private one. Carefully look at the file, if it isn’t legit, since you got it from a private tracker, flag it and boot the user uploading crap.

If not, could be a transcoding issue. Try watching it directly with VLC.

Some enable freeleach. I can set this in prowlarr so I only download freeleach items. These don’t count for leeching, just seeding. Then you set your seed ratio to whatever they recommend like say 5x or 30 days. If you’re looking for something that isn’t freeleach, then it’ll count against you a little, but your ratio should be high enoigh to handle it. Bonus points on top of that too. I use one private and lots of public.

Just home assistant doesn’t move the needle. The llms hit the igpu hard and my cpu usage spikes to 70-80% when one is thinking.

But my llms i’m running are ollama and invokeai each with several different models just for fun.

I have a very similar NAS I built. The Home Assistant usage doesn’t really even move the needle. I’m running around 50 docker containers and chilling at about 10% cpu.

My amd igpu works just fine for jellyfin. LLMs are a little slow, but that’s to be expected.

DACs are great, agreed. However try telling that to the guy next door. The reason ethernet got to be so popular was because of how familiar it was and similar it us to telephone wire. There were several other competing standards befofe ethernet won.

10GbE cards and switches help regular folk upgrade without needing to learn about DACs.

Right?! Most affordable 10G switches are SFP+ which requires a lot more research to make sure you get the right modules and cabling.

Not quite what you’re asking for, but you can self-host ollama. And based on some recent lawsuits against meta, I’m pretty sure all companies are using as many books as they can get their hands on to train their models. And so their training set contains the books you have in Calibre and more.

Try asking llama3.3 or whichever model you choose your questions.

Nice! Good to know that if Unraid goes downhill I have a good alternative.

Only if aired on the CW.

Huh, maybe my TrueNAS experience is a little dated. Last I used it, everything was k8s and bo docker-compose at all.

Honestly, that’s fair.

Some advice, TrueNAS isn’t very newbie friendly. Between permissions and their wonky kubernettes setup that no containers actually leverage, it’s not great. It is free, but expect bumps in the road. Unraid and OpenMediaVault are much easier to use. I switched to Unraid, and it’s been amazing, I highly recommend it. It’s nice that you can install random sized drives, they don’t need to match. You can toss in a few ssds for cache, and the docker containers are super easy to setup and maintain. Jellyfin works just fine for instance. OMV has some great offerings too, but lack the docker/VM hosting side. It’s a NAS and nothing else. It’s expected to have proxmox or something hosted elsewhere that uses OMV as storage.

#2 opinion, build your own NAS. Especially if you’ve already built your own Gaming PC, it’s pretty straight forward. Pick a low powered cpu, toss in some ram, a ton of hdds, and maybe some old graphics card you have lying around for transcoding or hosting local AI for kicks. You’ll get a lot more for your money this way.

A lot of people aren’t big fans of Nginx Proxy Manager, which is separate from Nginx. But I like it. It’s got a nice gui, and the part I really like is the letsencrypt ssl certs baked in. You can get a new one, for a new service with a click of a button, and it auto renews your certs, so you don’t have to worry about it once it’s set up.

So, something to note is that a lot of UPSs have a configuration for sensitivity. Your power actually fluctuates quite a bit, but you don’t notice. I have my UPS on the default sensitivity, and there have been a few instances of it going onto battery power when none of my other devices even flickered.

So, with that in mind, I use NUT. My server has it setup and it’s set to gracefully shutdown after my UPS hits 25% battery remaining. That way false positives don’t shut it down, nor will small flickers, nor will an outage less than an hour or so. My UPS says I can run for about 90mins on current load.

I wish I could get fiber. I’ve got pretty solid coax internet, but my upload speeds are maxed out constantly. Backing up my server can take days at 40mbps(max).

Did you accidently typo the url? I see a ‘/’ instead of a ‘:’ before the port number.

try going to http://mydomainname:20054/

Might also need to fix the searchx_base_url env variable
