  • I'm not sure redownloading would save any time.

    I'd imagine there's a way to set that up with the *arrs but my personal path of less resistance is to just recode what I got rather than figure a process to redownlod out. There's is more resources than time at my disposal currently.

  • How about dedicated servers where users can play against the same people for more than 1 or 2 matches and get better without randos smurfing and griefing?

    SBMM should be an option but not the only one. Actiblizz can kick fuckin rocks.

  • I keep everything in a 10u rack in my garage so it doesn't bother us much. That said, when it was in my office being configured, it was quieter than my desktop running a 5900x and 3080.

    By design, NUC's are super quiet and the jbods I'm using are cooled with 2 140mm fans running at about 50% most of the time.

    Worth noting, I've been a metal fan and musician most of my life so my sensitivity isn't very high compared to a lot of others.

  • Awesome. Thanks for the info. I have been running Plex for years and started the switch to Jellyfin last year. Have a container running Emby but haven't put any work in to configuring or much yet.

    Same situation with Tdarr. Threw together a quick container and got caught up in a billion other projects. I have an old 3600x / 1080ti system I'll likely use as a transcoding node. Just need to go over the docs and figure out how to setup input / output paths.

  • Overall it's (currently) a couple jbods plugged in to a NUC. Total draw is at 81W currently. That's based off of a quick remote check on my UPS.

    That's a Ubiquiti Dream Machine Pro, Modem, Ubiquiti U7 Pro, 2 - 6 disc jbods running Seagate exos 20tb, and the NUC.

    There's a secondary drive array but it only powers on once a week for a few hours to run backups/differentials. Even under that load I don't really spike above 100W.

    Compared to the draw my old full rack with a couple loaded up r210's has, this is incredibly efficient.

  • The majority of my stack as well as vehicles run off renewables / solar. So it's hard to tell. May seem like some massive library but it has been accumulated over 25 or so years and is composed of a shit ton of physical rips from a pretty extensive library of everything from VHS and vinyl to uhd..

  • What's your process for recoding? I'm nearing 120tb used space and would like to re-encode some of the stuff my *arr stack grabbed before I got my profiles tuned in.

  • Y2CS

  • Braindead aka Dead Alive is a classic for gore. It also skews to the comedy side so it's more enjoyable on rewatches.

    More recently, The Sadness was pretty nasty but definitely more mean spirited. In that same vein, Headless is pretty nasty as well.

    Gore is an interesting thing as it can be a single scene or an overall aesthetic i.e. the Evil Dead from 2013 has an insane amount of blood and violence but it's not outright gore like Rikki Oh and definitely a more pure horror film.

  • If I was running. restaurant open from "10am-10pm" this would be great hours. Time for the crew to roll in a little late for their 9-930am shifts, enough time at the end of the day for the kitchen to be cleaned and the last load through the dish sanitizer before every customer is out by 945/10pm at the latest.

    It actually seems realistic. Haha

  • The 8bit do ultimates are currently my favorite controller of all time. Own several wired and wireless models (at least 1 of each version).

    If you have $70 (less on pretty frequent sales) for the ultimate with Hall Sticks, I can't recommend it enough. I reach for these over the Xbox Elite, Dual Sense Edge and Razers I used previously.

    Simply a fantastic controller. And they work great with the 2.4ghz dongle or just via Bluetooth with the Steam Deck.

  • I am so, so close to doing the same. Still have a small partition carved out for CoD and Windows. I just find myself booting in to it less and less.

    Thank goodness MicroVision seems to be keen on continuing to flog that dead horse with a Warzone focus, means I can finally be free.

  • Thanks for the rec! Typing on it now. Pretty decent so far. I dig the hover on the word as i swipe

  • Also posting from a Pixel 7 running Graphene for abouta year. No issues, I use Fdroid for most apps and Aurora when I have too. Only bummer is I haven't found a good FOSS keyboard with swipe. Really miss gboard for that and gif insertion.

  • I have seen credits on that game probably three times since it's launch. Anytime they release it on a new platform I instinctively snap it up.

    I do agree that the world feels pretty empty, but it is Mars in their defense. The gameplay loop is so good though. And sometimes there's no better feeling than grabbing a sledgehammer and leveling a building.

    Hopefully you're able to make it through! There's a little bit of variety introduced to the environment around the half to three quarter mark.

  • I'm not sure when exactly my cake day is but have been hanging out with you shitters a while and truly dig it here.

    So much of the community interaction and openness to real dialog and sharing reminds me of the internet I grew up on. Thanks to each and every one of you.

    Favorite moment: following discussions on the element channel and actively having a voice in defederating from communities that didn't align with the goals of our community. Being empowered to shape what this place was gonna look like really drew me in and made me want to keep coming back!

    Cheers y'all!

  • Are we married to the same person?

  • There's always one!

  • Must of been how they used the little red nub.
