  • It probably could if everyone did it the same way. But I suspect that isn't what's happening, so while our brains pattern recognition the message reasonably easily regardless of the substitution, doing that at scale with regex would be a lot more difficult.

  • The comment about convenience trumping almost everything else reminded me of this old post (wasn't originally on The Urban Dictionary but they have it now under the definition of Linux).

    If Operating Systems Ran The Airlines

    When you board the plane, you are given a seat, four bolts, a wrench and a copy of the seat-HOWTO.html. Once settled, the fully adjustable seat is very comfortable, the plane leaves and arrives on time without a single problem, the in-flight meal is wonderful. You try to tell customers of the other airlines about the great trip, but all they can say is, "You had to do what with the seat?"

  • Oh absolutely, I'm not suggesting it's a product worth using in this day and age when you probably have good quality music available locally. It was a potentially useful tool back when we all used to download music of questionable quality off the internet, but less relevant these days.

  • You can also get an iTunes Match subscription. No idea what it goes for these days but it's a bit cheaper than Apple Music (doesn't give you access to any music but lets you sync your music in iTunes to all your devices - still requires a Mac or PC to use though).

  • tvOS supports VPN connections directly on the Apple TV. Haven't tried it myself but I assume you just download the Tailscale app, set it up, and then it should just work.

  • and correct it in the system

    Have you dealt with any large company's first level support these days? They're not empowered to do anything in the system in the vast majority of cases (to be clear, this isn't a dig at support, it's at the companies that don't give their staff the tools to actually do their job).

    Yes, most people can spot an obvious error, but actually correcting it in the system is usually much more difficult.

  • Is it possible to run a docker host that has no harddrive?

    Jump

  • I can't speak to the netboot part personally but I've had Docker data folders mounted via an NFS share for a while now, and while it worked fine, I've just in the last week or so swapped them all back to local storage for performance reasons (typically anything involving a SQLite database), so depending on what services you're running via Docker, check that your network speeds aren't going to be a bottleneck for it. (My home network is only 1G for reference so might not be a problem for you).

  • What are your Homelab goals for 2025?

    Jump

  • I've got ZFS on my older NAS which is a FreeNAS box I build myself a while back (an old HP N40L), the Synology one is using BTRFS (only because it doesn't support ZFS). That being said, I'm well aware of bitrot, the RAID is to protect against a drive dying, and the vast majority of stuff on the NAS is stuff where a flipped bit isn't going to be the end of the world even if the file system doesn't catch it. For stuff that's more important I keep multiple copies of it or and/or have a backup in the cloud.

  • From a hardware perspective I need more storage. Am thinking I'll probably end up with a second Synology NAS unit before the end of the year with 4 hard drives at whatever a reasonable price vs size point it at the time I do it (likely 12-14Tb drives at this stage). Bought drives 2 at a time last time so I'm running two RAID1 pairs right now on the existing unit - adding 4 new drives at once to the home lab will let me move all that content to the new drives and reformat the existing ones into a RAID5 array and get an extra 12Tb of storage.

    The one I already have does support adding the 5 drive expansion bay, but figuring that with a second NAS I can move some of my Docker instances currently running on a dedicated laptop onto the second NAS which takes one computer out of the setup as well.

    Maintenance wise I've just only done my 2024 maintenance stuff that I do each year. This year it was going through my password vault and making sure everything was synced up, had complex passwords, had two factor enabled where applicable, etc, as well as setting up unique email addresses for every service I'm using (they just forward to the same inbox) to help me track who's been selling my info. Have already found a local fast food outlet who has from that.

    Have also rotated all my SSH keys, made sure they were all upgraded to Ed25519 from RSA, set up unique keys for the three devices I regularly use so I can revoke one individually if required, made sure all my hardware was running the latest updates (my RPi running my Pi-hole instance was still on Buster so I had to get that updated before I could even update Pi-hole), etc.

    Also swapped my Mullvad connection on my gateway to use Wireguard instead of OpenVPN since they're dropping support later this year.

    Honestly I'd love to invest in some sort of rack mounting for home, its something I should look into some more, but right now I just have a whole section of the wardrobes in my study for equipment and tech storage. It's working for now although I worry about it in summer with not a massive amount of heat dissipation in there. This weekend is supposed to be close to 40 degrees Celsius both days 🥵

  • The fact that clicking the link takes you to a 404 page definitely helps with the whole "accidentally" bit.

    Anyone know if the story turned out to be false and got deleted or if it's just a dud link?

  • Advice on improving Plex experience?

    Jump

  • Have a look through the tools section on the Megathread in the pinned post. For this specific use case you're probably going to be wanting to look at tools like Sonarr (for TV shows), Radarr (for movies), some form of torrent client that those tools support (Transmission for example), and depending on what your tracker supports, possibly something like Jackett to provide a bridge between your tracker and your downloader tool.

    The benefit of this kind of setup is it's very easy to add Usenet into the mix if you choose to.

    There's some extra steps needed if you run it directly on the Mac but you can also do something like run Docker on the Mac and run those tools within Docker instead.

    I'm pretty sure it's possible to integrate something like Overseerr (which is a web frontend for handing requests for new content) into the Plex watch list meaning you could add a show to your watch list in Plex, Overseerr would pick that up, send it to Sonarr or Radarr depending on the type of content it is, which would then do a search on your tracker for the content, send the torrent to your torrent client, and then when it finishes downloading automatically import it into Plex.
