i'm barely using HA anymore except to pull in the entities and send them to custom html pages.


my man. :dude:

frick home assistant. evil necessity. run it but work from outside in.

also frick infra. run all debian and docker. back up app data offline. no infra other than a couple docker nets.

really hope i don't get attached to me media or this wont work.
Ha. I’m near a 3.0 but have 100g headroom.
yup. vip and radarr set up with "free" profile that requires custom format "free" that requires that tag. seer only requests free profile.

so i try to point everything back to /downloads and i hit another snag... some are just files not folders and radarr only allows one folder to one movie ratio... more hit and run time.

edit: ok no hit and run... leaving qbit as source of truth to extent possible... so just remove non compatibles from radarr, but i have some stranded in a /media due to a previous blunder.

I freed 350g of redundant files. Thats huge for my ssd only stack. And everything works correctly now. Time for some more 4k remux for the brand new TV. Surprised my little $30 onn 4k+ is actually handling 100+ mbps video. Or at least it seems fine. The VLC graph shows it keeping up and it looks good to me. Making me wonder what people are doing with their Apple TVs and shields and what not.

Edit again: original problem was 99% because I did a /media docker bind and a /downloads so the container saw different file systems. If I did one bind for /mnr/nfs/ instead then it probably would have worked. I don’t know what that’s 100% clear to me when sitting on the couch, but can’t figure it out while in the computer.
I'm finding it extremely hard to get ratio.. but I'm behind VPN so that probably cuts out 75% of the people I can connect with because they can't connect to me, i must connect to them. I have hit and run protection so oh well, i mainly get free stuff and if it's not free, i go small.

good point, i can probably just point everything to the qbit folder and get rid of renaming and then it wont link or copy.


something like qbit to /mnt/nfs/share/downloads/raqdarr1 then once finished, radarr should hard link with possibly cleaner file name to /mnt/nfs/media/radarr1. That way qbit still seed and media server gets a clean grab. I think that's the ""standard"" workflow. whatever that means. im not really into this stuff. It works on 1x radarr that is a "local" as in docker binds to local / but it is copying instead of hard linking on the one that binds into /mnt/nfs/... the link happens on the NFS host so maybe it is an NFS issue not getting a link command or something, not sure.
I haven’t seen that PVE screen in 18 months. Gives me n the creeps.

I’m sure it’s fine. A lot of people use it but I don’t think it makes sense for me as I run 2x very different core ultra minis and at least 12 services using media or AI acceleration or both. Plus I have all NVMe storage and only 3TB live. I back up app data and that’s it.

Has anyone figured out how to make radarr hard link media on NFS shares instead of copying it? Both the qbit category storage and the media folder live on the NFS mount. Simple enough to just put a watchdog on the host but that seems wrong.

Tech companies have never created artificial scarcity for attention. No way. Waiting for something means it must be so great that they just can’t make enough even though production is obviously top notch.

Pushing decade old tech into the Apple ecosystem which inherently comes with a 30% tax on everything you do there is super revolutionary.
I live dangerously. If you want to call it that. App data is backed up offline every couple weeks. If someone gets my mullvad key or ipt password I’m out $25. I’d be more mad if someone messed with my personal GitHub but not the end of the world. That’s about the blast radius other than botnet proxy or crypto mining. Maybe some nudie hot tub footage but that doesn’t bother me at all.

im new to ipt.. thats only source...

xaque8787/vodstrm turns your 300k vod library into jellyfin libraries.

dispatcharr is a proxy, and a lineup organizer, you can put 10 streams on one channel and it uses them in order of preference.also watching same channel on 4 TVs counts as one stream. I also use this ffmpeg profile in dispatcharr because it makes my tv better. its also good to keep all the arrs behind gluetun except the exit ports locally. jellyfin and seerr go to reverse proxy here.

As for client, I use jellyfin on android but I have it play via VLC instead of built in player.

requires hardware acceleration but very little resources:
-err_detect ignore_err -user_agent {userAgent} -reconnect 1 -reconnect_streamed 1 -reconnect_delay_max 2 -probesize 192k -analyzeduration 192k -fflags +genpts+igndts+discardcorrupt -i {streamUrl} -init_hw_device vaapi=va:/dev/dri/renderD128 -filter_hw_device va -vf "format=nv12,hwupload=extra_hw_frames=16" -af "aresample=async=1" -c:v h264_vaapi -profile:v high -level:v 3.1 -refs 1 -bf 0 -g 60 -keyint_min 60 -c:a aac -avoid_negative_ts make_zero -f mpegts pipe:1


My only “hacks” are:

2x radarr to keep requests in a completely different library/category via NFS because I have no spinny disks and don’t want to know what happens when / is full. Could probably do this with tagging but I’m lazy so I do what I know.

2x vodstrm. One has zero access to adult VOD, other can only see adult VOD, makes libraries clean.

Ya I’m leaning towards Vandy too.

Who had the worst weekend?

Posted by Dallaswho on 10/18/26 at 7:44 am
Georgia - lost to unranked team at home.
Bama - Lost two in a row
Texas - BOTH of the above
Mizzou - got crushed
State - see above
Vandy - Lost to Arkansas

Should have one docker compose for plex/jelly qbittorrent dispatcharr radarr sonarr seerr prowlarr unpackeerr vodstrm. All under gluetun. Push all remote TV, VoD, torrent, and TMDB access through VPN and then expose access to those services locally and jellyfin to reverse proxy. I dont use unpackerr though.

Infra juice isn’t worth the squeeze. Things just don’t really crash now a days. Hell, my “main” home server (everything but frigate) has a “docker ps” over 5 pages long. It’s also a crappy laptop system board that I saw WAY too cheap on eBay and hacked it into a working system just to see if I could do it. core ultra 155H, 32GB ddr5x. Fan is controlled by an arduino and boot only works because another arduino keyboard emulator. Still never crashes…
What’s with you and Windows? You’re running a full hypervisor setup just to keep Windows? Stop doing that. Just leave it. Whatever tools you’re trying to run probably work better on Linux anyway. Ditch PVE and install Trixie. Stop worrying about the OS and all that and just start running services. ZFS is a TON of overhead for home use, especially surveillance and media.

Ya doubt that. Saints have proven they will do what it takes to win. Even ending Kurt Warner’s career on a bounty. Cowboys would be a better fit.

Mizzou by 3 scores. If gators can do it, so can the best Tigers in the SEC for several years.

And screw that True South guy. Other than getting San Daddy together at Hot Springs, his show sucks.
