  • I read the original comic on paperback in black and white, went to launch parties for the releases, then bought it in colour, lost both sets in moves, bought it all in digital form, then again in a physical box set when I settled down. Saw the movie several times in theatres and own the original bluray and then 4K release bluray as well. I also bought Lost at Sea and Seconds as my first gifts to my now wife.

    Suffice to say, I’m a fan of the series and the creator.

    I fucking loved the new spin on it. So so so much. I loved getting to explore some of the other characters who didn’t get as much spotlight in previous adaptations. I loved the whodunnit we got to explore with Ramona, who is much closer to the Ramona of the books than the movie, and I felt was a welcome change, even if the portrayer (who I still love) was the same. The Easter eggs and hints for the fans of the series were great as well.

    The one thing I kept looking for, hoping for, waiting for … where the fuck is Lisa Miller.









  • On my main server: I have my SSD RAID1 ZFS snapshots of my container appdata, VM VHDs and docker image, that is also backed up as a full backup once per night to the RAID10 array, then rsynced to the backup server which then is uploaded to the cloud.

    The data on the RAID is backups, repos or media that I’ve deposited there for an extra copy it for serving via Plex/Jellyfin. I have extra copies of the data, and if I were to lose the array totally, I wouldn’t be pleased, but my personal pictures/videos wouldn’t be in danger.

    I run two back up servers, which both upload to the cloud. One of which takes bare metal images of all my computers (sans servers bulk drives), the other which takes live folders.

    This is more due to convenience so that I can pull a bare metal image to restore a device, or easily go find a file with versioning online if necessary on both accounts.

    As a wise man said, you can never have too many backups.



  • I think this could have been smelled in the water for a long while. Tim Cook was trusted to steer the rudder but his specialty is supply chain management, and I don’t think anyone can say he’s done a bad job.

    But. On the R&D side I don’t think people could say he’s done a great job.

    The ideas have dried up. When you go “safe” at CEO you make money, but you limit your ceiling, which, once again, with Apple is already breaking the mold.

    Consumer electronics is saturated. There is little to no breakthrough there anymore.

    Evolution is outside that, but outside that might not be in Tim Cook or Apple’s executive suite’s realm anymore.




  • There’s no soulseek integration yet, but that would be a game changer, the collections in there are incredible, especially when trying to find EPs, singles and rarities. We’ve been waiting for a good long while though.

    In the meantime, it’s a lot of work to build a collection, even with lidarr, torrents, semi-private, private trackers and usenet.

    For soulseek, I’d recommend setting a blackhole torrent client that points to the soulseek download folder, them always make sure you download the folder not the files from the share. That will make importing the files a lot easier into lidarr if you choose to keep that as your centralized download tool.

    There are also extended scripts for lidarr that will pull music from various sources as well.


  • If not, we can expect to see legal channels raising their prices again to cover the losses caused by piracy.

    And with the last paragraph the whole article loses its legitimacy as propaganda. I mean I should have expected as much considering the source, but I still wanted to see how well researched it was.

    No, this is a case where people are rebelling against a broken system, that didn’t need to be broken in it’s mostly recovered state.

    No, the general paying public shouldn’t shame pirates for their actions, they should shame the companies for their actions that have driven them to this. Companies aren’t your friends, they don’t care about you, they just want your money.





  • The biggest reason I personally use and would recommend Unraid is it simplifies everything, specifically around docker.

    Deploying docker containers? There are community apps where people have set up scripts so all you have to do is fill in the blanks for your set up and bam, your container is deployed and running.

    Managing you can add your own items and fill in your own blanks, or change them and it’ll deploy and remove the old container.

    I’ve used portainer, compose, and looked into runtipi for docker management, and tried out windows server, Ubuntu, proxmox, truenas for HV/VE/OS, and while they all had bits I liked they all lacked something, and unraid had it all or a way to have it.

    The initial reason was ragged arrays for why I chose it ever the others, but now I like its simplicity, and don’t find myself wanting for more control over anything.
