cruft posted:Maybe someone on here would like this thing I threw together to visualize CPU load without having to run a bunch of new services: While S.M.A.R.T data is notoriously useless in isolation, you can use it if you chart it properly using the smartctl exporter. For example by keeping track reallocated sector count over the lifetime of the drive; a couple at the start of the lifetime isn't an issue, whereas sudden spiking when it's well into its bathtub curve is a pretty good predictor that the drive is going to fail. Similarly, there are exporters for ZFS, NFS, gstat and jails (both for FreeBSD), BIND, postgres (and mysql, if you have to), arbitrary unstructured log data, and a blackbox exporter that can be used for HTTP(S)/TCP/ICMP endpoints, as well as an IPMI exporter, the node exporter that can export whatever stats an OS has about itself, and even a NUT exporter for UPS device information.

Corb3t posted:So I do all my media requests through mobile Overseerr/Jellyseerr connected to Plex/Jellyfin + Sonarr + Radarr + Bazarr + Prowlarr, connected to Sabnzbd using Frugal Usenet with NZBGeek and Drunkenslug as indexers, all on unraid. Pretty hands off, my requests download in minutes and Plex refreshes instantly. Throw in Tautulli if you want to monitor Plex streaming among friends. Is Prowlarr similar to nzbhydra? Trying to sort out how it fits in, otherwise. I seem to have to use Infuse on my AppleTV to play the 4K content more reliably than with Plex. Is this a common workaround and why doesn't Plex work as well? Slow Horses S01E01 had audio but no video in Plex, played perfectly with Infuse off of my Plex library. bobfather posted:Some of these sites don’t like to be named in public forums.

Prowlarr is nzbhydra with tighter integration into the Arr apps. I like it a lot more than Hydra. E: it also adds Jackett like functionality for torrent trackers so one less thing to run.

Follow-up question about overseer. How are you handling the requests from friends/family. Do you have them going into a separate library or have one gen-pop library for everything? For a long while I had my brother having access to my Plex and he and his family had the ABSOLUTE worst taste in TV/Movies and I just got absolutely sick of scrolling through the lowest quality of content you can imagine. Perhaps maybe I have the mental model of this is my library that I'm sharing with others, rather than cultivating a collection of whatever everyone else needs.

Instead of setting up one hydra instance in each app you configure Prowlarr to connect to each app via the API and manage the Indexers. I also like the torrent seeding settings that it passes along to the torrent client. It's not better per se. If hydra is working for you there's no major benefit to it.

I've have had to put some limits in place for specific users so they won't request too many seasons of a tv show or whatever, and a friend of mine requests a lot of kids media so I spun off a "Kids Movie" library and he is smart enough to select the library when he's making his requests. I also have a library for Live Performances, Live Comedy, Master Class, Anime, and Wrasslin'. Infuse is great, make sure you get the Test Flight beta so you can use direct library mode for your Plex library and not require a bunch of player-side caching that would often bog Infuse down. Before direct library mode, I would use Plex's native app 90% of the time, and I can't say I've had many issues with anything I've thrown at it, but Infuse is a little better at handling some spatial audio properly - I think it's worth the $10 a year. I haven't messed with NZBHydra so I can't really comment on how it compares, but I like that Prowlarr updates all my other *arrs indexers and torrents (Anime) and provides advanced statistics for those indexers like successful grabs, response time, etc. Corb3t fucked around with this message at 18:54 on Jan 13, 2024 |

Ah, they can select which library to put the request in, that's interesting. I do get requests pretty infrequently now that I booted my brother off of the server (feigning some xfinity contacting me about too much uploads) so probably not something that I need at this time, but good to hear it's a very flexible solution. Have the annual subscription to Infuse, will have to check out the test version!

TraderStav posted:Is Prowlarr similar to nzbhydra? Trying to sort out how it fits in, otherwise. Yes widespread issue, I’ve never found a workaround with the plex app itself and now always use infuse. The plex app for apple tv fails really hard at video playback; random audio desync in pretty much everything, can’t play back 4k files properly, doesn’t tonemap hdr properly (this is an advertised feature of plex pass but it doesn’t work.) There’s a massive thread on their forums about it, it’s been a problem for a while. Definitely a problem with the apple tv client itself. Mercifully infuse solves this problem and syncs perfectly.

That's so interesting - I've literally never had any issues with the AppleTV Plex app with my Sonos Arc connected to my Sony TV via eARC with Match Frame Rate turned on. I don't do any tonemap transcoding, though - my TVs all support HDR and my Tautulli stats show I only really transcode when I'm traveling on other devices - ~100 times out of 11,000 total streams.

Yeah I don't think mine was doing much transcoding either, I think it's specifically an issue with the video player. But interesting that you don't have the problem, it must be setup specific then. Which would explain why it's taking them so long to resolve.

Because basically every time someone says "why would you do that" it's because you're doing this that hard way for whatever reason, but there's no reason anyone else would or would expect you to be doing it that way unless they follow this thread closely and for a while and are really paying attention to your posts, which.......to be honest are often like "who cares, it's just some person doing things the hard way this is irrelevant to me, someone who just wants to get things working".

Is there a thread consensus on a self-hosted pinboard / pocket alternative? Ideally, I'd like to solve two different use cases with a single solution: - archiving websites that might go down - saving articles for reading later (I regularly commute through areas with no cell service, that's where I go through my backlog) Pocket is able to handle fewer and fewer websites over time, so I might as well put my synology box to good use

It’s barely supported as well. Also also, the mobile client will just coin flip on whether or not it will authenticate and connect to your instance; naturally there are no descriptive errors as to why. Great promise, some of the worst implementation I’ve seen.

I find it interesting seeing the clever solutions people find to do things on low spec computers, even if in this case I'd have just used rrdtool and any one of the thousands of examples of system monitoring scripts from the early 2000s that use rrd as the backend. It's easy to throw cycles at a problem but there's also fun in figuring out how to do it from first principles. (Of course I also run my own mail server and invest a sometimes silly amount of time in it when I could just use sendgrid.) corgski fucked around with this message at 16:27 on Jan 14, 2024 |

Masochism in the digital age is definitely troubleshooting deliverability to O365. Anyway speaking of doing things the hard way, I want to catalog all my books but there seems to be a massive gap in usability between proprietary services like libib and full featured ILS suites like Evergreen ILS, is there anything in the middle that's self-hostable and automates data entry without like, requiring you to be a OCLC member library?

The email bit should be in a thread of its own imo as anywhere you bring it up you’re going to hear the same as you have here. You’re insane for doing this of your own volition, but I applaud your insanity. Most people doing self hosting are either full on homelab setups and don’t have a need or desire for lower overhead stuff or are just sticking to OTS solutions to problems. I honestly think you should ditch the RasPi for something more capable as it really isn’t great for what you’re trying to accomplish imo. They’re great machines but blood from a stone and so on. Edit: to be clear though that is a neat little way to accomplish what you’re going for with as little overhead as possible. Warbird fucked around with this message at 17:37 on Jan 14, 2024 |

Think I ran into this problem last night. After about an hour into a 4K linux iso I started getting caching every 10 minutes or so for 15-25 seconds. Ended up moving to the 1080p version as it was messing with the vibe of it. Will check this out today.

And once you get over the hill of establishing reputation with Google there's no reason to not keep going, it's remarkably hands-off as long as you have a small number of users who all follow good password practices.

I started an ISP in college, when I sold it, I colocated a half rack wherever I happened to be living, that became rented some VMs eventually, until fiber made it all self hosted.

Do we have an "Internet from first principles" thread? Because honestly stuff like BGP peering and managing an autonomous system is also pretty cool and can be done with commodity hardware on a small scale as long as you don't care about routing to the Internet. There's even a couple hobby projects out there that let you peer with others on an isolated network using wireguard to tunnel it over the public Internet.

The point of my post is that cruft routinely posts these things in a vacuum without the hint of "I did this because I'm doing my super low power thing" and then someone tries to help them or engage in some way with the logical assumption that they're talking about reasonable hardware and surely there is a misunderstanding or some reason why one would do things that way. It's happened multiple times in the plex thread as well. Zero context posting about something that only someone trying to run it on a pi would have. It's happened enough that it's hard to believe the lack of context is accidental.
