Yea, after another hour today I’ve decided that my time is better spent elsewhere, so I’m just going to stick with Navidrome and not worry too much about losing out on the federated music idea for now.

I gave up on funk whale about 6 months ago and was loving navidrome, but hadn’t realised the lack of library separation. Thankfully that doesn’t bother me too much. I’ll give this another go and see how I get on though if I can find some time over the weekend

I’ve got my instance of matrix working with voice calls. It’s not built in, but it’s just another service in my compose file alongside the bridges I use to have my unified chat app.

I’m using coturn and it just works when doing voice and video calls with federated users.

I think I’ve seen people using jitsi as well, so it seems there are many options available

I considered trying that then read about some kernel versions not being compatible with certain versions of the dkms package so decided to give up, go to bed and deal with the issue later. (This was Saturday night and sadly time hasn’t permitted me to start investigating again yet)

I have the same issue on my desktop. I’d assumed it was something I’d done (it usually is) but I had to admit defeat and resort to switching to booting into a backup OS so that I could get on with all the tasks I need to get done but I’m assuming it was a problem with the Nvidia-dkms package that’ll be resolved in time as people have reported similar issues in the past.

On the uptime monitoring I’ve been quite happy with uptime kuma, but… If you put it on the same host that’s down… Well, that’s not going to work :p (I nearly made that mistake)

I’m going to choose not to answer that for two reasons…

1. I don’t know the answer
2. solar panels and batteries are great.

But yes I’m in a position where I was more willing to pay for the power than I was to buy additional storage space as I’m hitting the top of what I can do without significant expense.

Ah, fair point. I don’t use torrents, my media comes from usenet, so that doesn’t need to factor into my thinking.

My (overly?) Complex setup does allow me to resort to torrents as a last resort, but that happens on another machine outside my home network and gets synchronised into my home via a one-way syncthing share, so even on the rare occasion I have to resort to torrents I can leave it on that server seeding for a few weeks or months.

Could Snipe it work for you? https://docs.linuxserver.io/images/docker-snipe-it/

It looks like an asset management tool. The description copied and pasted from above reads:Snipe-it makes asset management easy. It was built by people solving real-world IT and asset management problems, and a solid UX has always been a top priority. Straightforward design and bulk actions mean getting things done faster

I’ve just recently started using tdarr to convert all of my media to x265on 14/02 and so far I’ve saved 4.02 TB of what was 28.12TB media collection. (The number isn’t a true reflection though because new episodes and shows have been added to that library since I started)

I’m letting tdarr manage the conversion process and once up and running meant that my NAS, desktop, my NUC and a mini pc are all plodding through and converting when I’m not using them for other things.

If you are worried about the disk space being taken and have some CPU time you can devote to the conversion process then I’d suggest it’s worth looking into tdarr.

I don’t have easy access to my torrent client at the moment, how much disk space are we talking about here? Tens of GB, hundreds, multiple TB?

Edit: ooft, that’s a hefty chunk of space indeed, the first one I looked at was 400gb, the second was >4tb. Sadly I can’t contribute that kind of space on my torrent box.

I was going to say that the big downside to that would be a lack of any kind of version control, but I guess if you need that you can always use git and just commit changes there and (optionally) push them to a repository somewhere.

Interesting, I’ll try again from my desktop when I get back home again. I guess it’s possible that it’s my phone that’s the problem.

Ah, I see, then my apologies for making assumptions. If you’re a Usenet person then things like drunken slug or Ninja central assist to have a bunch of adult content on them.

For torrents, you’ll hopefully be able to find content on various generalist torrent trackers or a few specialist ones that primarily deal with that kind of content.

I get the impression that you’re new to the whole *arr set of applications.

Your indexer is the torrent site (or Usenet indexer) you’re asking whisparr to search through for your torrents/NZBs.

Take a look here for some pretty good documentation on how it all works: https://wiki.servarr.com/whisparr/quick-start-guide#indexers

I’m not so sure about that, as I’m getting an error whenever I try to hook jacket up to the account I just created.

I’ll post an issue to the jacket issue log when I get home though after trying again I case there’s a delay in creating an account and the passkey becoming usable.

I think it’s a relatively recent thing. As the documentation for each of the *arts has a relatively recent minimum version number I think.

Here’s where I went when looking for whisparr, but just replace that with the arr you’re wanting to use and it’ll give you decent steps for getting your database created and migrated into it: https://wiki.servarr.com/whisparr/postgres-setup

I chose to take down my production instance of lemmyz do a cp -r of it, update the docker compose file to specify the new version numbers for Lemmy and lemmy-ui plus change the port that the stack exposes and do a docker-compose pull && docker-compose up -d on that stack to check to see if it could all work. Thankfully it did, so I updated the production compose file and tada! I’m on 19.0 safely

I'm in this camp as well. I've had one motion sensor of theirs since June that supplemented an IKEA one to catch movement at a different part of my hallway and had no real problems with it. I ordered another couple recently as well and put one in my kitchen and another in my office.

I might have been seeing odd behaviour on my office one but I've not had time to investigate it though and I was more inclined to believe it was bad positioning than a faulty sensor.

I did notice though that if I enter the room just as the lights are turning off then the lights don't turn back on but I just go straight to the light switch and do a quick turn off and back on again job to fix it.

I've been using planka and have been quite happy with my experiences for the last couple of months.
