I find switching VPN endpoints works, bit whack-a-mole, but works. Actually I run a few with gluetun and just switch proxy port numbers.

Pinchflat

Thanks, looks like it could work, bit more than I want, and it’ll need integrating, but it is what it is. I’ll see if it’s worth the pain to transition.

Of course there’s this…

I just have a somewhat annoying yt dlp script that runs on a schedule on my computer that downloads all my subscriptions. I tried everything else including pinchflat and it wasn’t really much of an improvement tbh.

Could you share that script please? I’d like to set up something similar

    Give me a bit, I’ll set up a gist with the details!

followed by crickets. Such is life.

So, cool and all, but I’ve been using freshrss with libredirect and freetube for this for ages, and it’s great when freetube works, which with the cat and mouse with youtube is less often than I’d like (kudos to freetube, great project).

Honestly what I’d really like is something to download rss yt vid to a cache with yt-dlp (which breaks much less), grab the sponsorblock and pipe to something light and distraction free like mpv or vlc. Clear the cache after a day or whatever.

Anyone seen anything like this ?

For certain values of small…

That said, Mistral is strong in world knowledge and something this big is likely quite so. The 6B experts can fit in reasonable amounts of system RAM (Q4_K_M is ~ 72 GB so it’d likely run reasonably in 64 GB system RAM and 24 GB VRAM) and run at reasonable if not spectacular speeds, speculative decoding could help too (but that eagle is 392MB, which is scary tiny).

Unfortunately the “with significant human input” case hasn’t been tried yet. As with most of these things the team that spends the most on lawyers wins the vast majority of the time, so corpos will get the case law.

I’m hoping that the “with significant human input” case turns out to be a massive own goal and basically breaks software copyright a few years down the line when anyone can re-implement any software.

Of course that’s when lobbying buys a law to override the case law. Sigh.

For say a keypass db you don’t need even that, Just sshd gets you rsync on your computer with cron or systemd timer / service… Personally I just use an old version of Syncthing-Fork though, security implications for local network are minimal.

Sounds good.

Sensible, limiting scope and knowing your limits are wisdoms all too many lack. Having something that fills the text/sound/vidya needs and is easy to spin up will find uses, doesn’t need to do everything.

To the end of being easy to spin up, which is likely to attract other developers in time if that’s something you’d like, consider wrapping it up in a docker container. It’s not that hard, basically follow your own instructions in a special docker build format.

coffee oil buildup

I noticed when I started using (stick blended) coconut (mct) oil instead of milk buildup just dissolved over time. Would likely work to just soak in hot in hot oil…

Some things to think about.

Even ZFS now let’s you add a new drive to an array, and the sweet spot for $/TB is ~16-20TB at the moment, so maybe think about 2 or 3x16TB and add more later (also less power).

Consider manufacturer recertified (not refurbished) server drives from serverpartdeals.com or your local equivalent, after all RAID is there to let you survive a disk failure, it’s treated me well, and lets you avoid SMR drives.

You can mix drives of different sizes if you use Unraid or roll your own with mergerfs+snapraid (+OpenMediaVault perhaps). I do the latter, it’s a bit of a setup, but has the advantage that drives are just drives and you can use the working ones while rebuilding the array and you can recover accidental deletions (for a while), which brings me to ‘RAID is not a backup’.

For true data safety you should have an offline backup (i.e. drives that live disconnected from your computer except during backup, safe from lightning, accidental deletion etc.) and eventually an offsite copy.

Personally I think the AI bought all our drives from WD is likely BS (seems lightly supported) to goose their product prices, so hopefully it’ll blow over, but prices seldom go down, inflation catches up. Sigh.

You know, this is the sort of thing that users should really be made aware of…

Also pretty sure I’ve seen deleted posts when they’ve been replied to ( don’t think the username is there though), which makes sense.

That (folder with files) is pretty much what an obsidian vault is, except it’s markdown files (of which text files are a subset). Should just import in with zero issues.

I just syncthing the obsidian vault, works for me…

Yeah, I have “Analyze Video Files” on, doesn’t get me a list of substandard files though, just sends the arr after stuff it’s probably already not finding.

tdarr

Hadn’t seen the Property search in here before, might get me most of the way there. Got it around somewhere, might have to spin it back up. Maybe I can raid it’s database as well. Thanks.

So, unless I didn’t dive deep enough, Configarr / Trash guides is mostly about setting up quality profiles and media paths and so forth, something I long ago sorted out to my satisfaction.

What I guess I was after was something to find stuff that has fallen through the cracks, highlighting stuff that doesn’t meet my standards and seeing whether I care enough to go looking for upgrades.

Strangely there doesn’t seem to be a simple app to run ffprobe over your library and populate a database for querying video quality, maybe I’ll get around to knocking one out one day, but today is not that day.

I don’t want to balloon the project

Fair cop, and no I haven’t really dived into Configarr and the trash guides (although I vaguely remember coming across them), oh joy, another rabbit hole. I do try to keep a simple stack, and what I have has served me well for years. But thanks, no need to reinvent the wheel if that handles my use case.

Having smaller projects with specific scope that do something well and can be plugged together is always preferable to some sprawling monstrosity. Used to be called the Unix way (pipe sed into awk etc.) and could stand to be revisited today. Best of luck.

I had a quick look, I think I could find a use for it but what I’d most be interested in is a dry run spitting out a list of missing / low res / low bitrate / stereo (I much prefer 5.1+), perhaps old codec, etc. media. Like many I have my own standards for what needs to be how good and so forth.

Ideally I could edit said list and put it back in as an active search list (perhaps chunking and prioritizing as well and iterating the process). Seems like this is 90% of the way there, any chance of an enhancement ?

Bit reluctant to just let someone else’s code go ham on my media library without a me in the loop step.

Doing your research beforehand instead of diving in and working it out as you go (extends beyond the digital space as well). Probably less fun, but far more efficient, bop those known unknowns people.

“I should have gathered all of the necessary things ahead of time.”

Also known as a staging area.

This, but also remember that never touching games with that sort of crap, on principle, is an option as well.

And ideally the storage will be encrypted and have basic privacy assurances.

Why would you trust a company to encrypt for you when Cryptomator exists ?

Also, a couple of 4TB drives for cold backup (one offsite) avoids another subscription.
