Technically, you don’t really need to touch those Arr applications once you set them up. As others have mentioned, Seerr (merged from Jellyseerr and Overseerr) is probably the only thing you use on daily basis.
You mentioned an app for remote streaming, I assume you know about Jellyfin already. If not, it’s like Netflix but you watch your own videos.
Don’t have the same problems as yours. My only issue with TA is that it’s very picky about the ES and Redis version, so currently I pin them to a specific build. I do worry that one day TA will be updated so much that it won’t support older builds of ES and Redis and my whole thing may break.
But when it works, it works perfectly, giving Jellyfin all the metadata to display them neatly (with the TA plugin of course).
Feels just like the tech used in the show Person of Interest. Essentially, to avoid the detection of a supercomputer, the protagonists communicate via VHF mesh network.
Don’t go for Raid 5.
Perfect! Honestly though, I would expect the gears icon to appear in the top right corner, not in the search bar😅
Some features seem to limit the working area to only the middle part of the browser. For example, the Multi Tool use 100% width but the Editor uses 33% only. Would love to see all features making full use of the screen size.
Unsure it fits your scenario but you could use VBA. In my case, we collect data via Excel then they get populated into a Word report template, and finally export to PDF for project delivery purposes, all automated using VBA.
Try alltalk_tts v2. One of the features is you can provide an audio sample and the AI will imitate the voice. The overall quality is pretty good, if you choose a larger model and let it run.
I couldn’t figure out how to setup Pihole with Unbound so I use Technitium. Thank the Lord it exists.
Is there a good option that can export the whole Wiki into a PDF with hyperlinks to different chapters and such?
Take a look at Profilarr. You can set fine custom conditions to block anything you want.
Same, no complaint for Navi and Symfonium.
Don’t make any connection to your home server, period.
I mean, the kids don’t need to log in YouTube to view Shorts. What’s the purpose of setting up anything account related? I missed anything.
Don’t think you need a Google account to view Shorts, though?
I feel like I’m doing something illegal by calling my home a lab. Might be thinking too much ;) Jokes aside, I’m not really testing or inventing anything so I genuinely don’t understand where the lab part comes from.
Without technical know-how or experience in general using NAS, Synology is a good first-time option. All apps are ready for immediate use. And don’t forget the majority of computer users don’t even know what a NAS is and they simply want to store files for remote access.
You could ask the question for video gaming. Can a used computer do the job? Yes, but you may not be able to play cutting edge / demanding games if your computer lacks the appropriate hardware. It really depends what kind of things you want to do, for choosing hardware that’s powerful enough.
Jellyfin? You need to consider if you need transcoding. Transcode or not makes quite a difference on the hardware needs.
To answer your question, most people don’t have just one device. Do you have only one device? You must have at least a desktop computer and a smartphone? What if you want to have something stored in your computer when you are not at home?
Music for example. If I don’t want to pay Spotify or whatever, and I want to listen to my music on my phone at work and on my computer at home. Other than making two full copies of the entire music library, I think I have to store them on a 3rd location then share it to my two devices.
If I don’t listen to music at home, then you’re right, there’s no reason to self host anything. I can just store all songs on my phone.
Similar to most responses, I backup whatever I created myself, not shared by someone or downloaded from somewhere. I care about pictures that I took, documents, financial records, etc, which don’t take up much space at all.
