If you look up “Dr. Frankenstein Discord” you’ll find the community that helped me get familiar with Docker. As in, several people held my hands for about 2 weeks non-stop. I can’t tell you enough how much I love that group. But containers aren’t the only way to go.

I hear people talking about Proxmox a lot, and it seems (as far as I can tell) to be one of the easiest platforms for hosting many services one a machine. Next computer I set up, I’ll be going that route.

Regardless of how you do it, the knowledge base and skills mostly transfer like a Venn diagram. The most important pieces to get started are hardware and patience. Everything else can be solved with online teamwork

I saved the post because I’ve always been interested in aggregating a RSS feed, but I need ideas for what to subscribe to. Thanks for making the post

I was just looking into this yesterday. I’d love to hear if it’s worth the hassle. People seem to be 50/50 on its long-term usefulness, “just use _____!”

I’m an idiot so it took me about 3 frustrating years to get all the docker containers working. Worth it every day

YSK I’m profiteering off of the masses thinking like this by not moving my money. It’s worked for me every time someone told me “you should reinvest”

After making the jump, you’re totally right

Hey, coming back to this a year later with more experience after quitting then starting back up again. I wish I remembered people mentioning Proxmox, it fits my needs more than my current Ubuntu setup. Thank you for the advice

Oh, I see. That was a dummy question, my apologies

What are the differences between Odin and (what I’m currently using) Jellyfin from a small system admin’s perspective?

Then why not post one?

If you’re using radarr/sonarr, you can…I’d refer to the trash guides, they have instructions for specifying language/subtitle tracks.

Anecdotally, I would strongly advise against limiting your options like that. As long as you have a way to set your streaming preferences and get the audio track you need, you shouldn’t even notice the other tracks.

With that said, you can strip the unnecessary tracks out with other software (I think Handbrake can, but I’ve never done it).

To add on this, most musicians make little money off physical releases. If they’re an indie group/artist, they’re probably losing money in the hopes that they gain an audience. Shows usually pay artists (but trust me, not always), and merch always gives artists something to keep them going (unless they’re a victim of a 360 deal).

My plan is 500 gigs down, but my computer (Ethernet wired to the server) gets transferal speeds of about 4 megs down. Super cool

Coworkers =/= friends, keep your real life separate but be friendly

What generalization? You mean the widely accepted pain that comes from it?

I respect your opinion, but I’ll pass

You nailed it, the problem is the problem with having to troubleshoot by yourself as a newbie. Once might not be an issue, but every step feels like a new instance of a repeat problem. Thanks for the encouragement

I appreciate it, I was asking for help through Github and (when forced to) Discord, but the help wasn’t consistently helpful so I tapped out on that too

I appreciate the post, but I’m gonna pass on ever using Linux again. I’ll just keep my eyes open for when these things get ported to Windows haha because I think I’ll puke if I have to type sudo or curl again

It’d be an obnoxiously long comment chain, plus its starting to feel like its not worth the effort. I’ve found some Windows alternatives to the stuff I was trying to do since I made the point which has been great! Still missing some functionality, but its better than what I was doing a few hours ago
