Yeah. I’m just being a useless pedant in a shitpost because the author wrote / instead of +.

I dunno for sure but I feel like you should decide which one you’re gonna do before you start setting up. Especially if you’re DIYing it on the floor.

Sounds like you need a poop knife.

Take a look at the Linuxserver Docker images. They curate a huge list of self hosted apps that is great to browse and look for ideas. You don’t need to run Docker and use their images - I’m just suggesting review their list of apps they support to get some ideas of what’s out there.

That Pi is too old to handle any media tasks (like running a Jellyfin server), but for any low intensity duties it’s still perfectly usable.

It’s just catholic canon for „snitches get stitches“.

I’m told we’re going to get so tired of all the winning.

Oh that’s just my dad. He’ll tell you when you should be wearing gloves or eye protection, and then exempt himself from that rule.

Hot dogs. Fuck those guys.

Read the email again. The key word in their marketing slop is “alternatively”. You have a Plex Pass and are the server admin. Your users need to do nothing.

Unfortunately, that does mean I have to respond to messages from all my users asking what that email means and convince them they can just ignore it.

A second “nice” part of this change is that iOS users no longer have to buy the Plex app on the App Store to stream longer than a minute. The app is only like 5 bucks one time, but it was a barrier when trying to convince stubborn people to just fucking TRY my Plex server.

“Extended lunch” didn’t attract any cameras so they had to workshop the name.

Double peen obviously.

All I can say is thank goodness you took the time to comment.

I feel sick saying it, but I think this is a project you could complete with AI. It sucks ass at understanding complex problems, but it’s good at cranking out small scripts to integrate tools together.

You basically just want a wrapper around ffmpeg with a light web interface to handle upload, script execution, and download.

LLMs are pretty good at spitting out a simple web interface that runs in a barebones server like Express or nginx.

If you don’t need to worry about security or accessibility or any “not on the critical path” concerns, this could probably work after a few iterations.

As for anything already out there - I’ve never come across anything. The closest app I can think of is TDARR which is intended to automatically transcode your media library to h265. That wraps up some of the ffmpeg stuff you want, but doesn’t address the upload/download half of the workflow.

And that ocean is preferably on a planet other than Earth.

I see entirely too many of these pieces of shit in Vancouver.

OH MY GOD I SAW A TIT

This happened to me once and I completely overthought it.

In my case, I removed the PCB from the drive and took a close look and saw a single scorched IC that I figured was the problem. I think it was a voltage regulator or something like that.

So I bought a scrap drive and tried to transplant the PCB onto my dead drive, but of course that wouldn’t be able to read my old data.

So took it into a local electronics repair shop and asked if he’d be able to make it work.

He took one look at the damaged PCB, pushed the scrap one back at me and said “yeah I’ll just replace this part.”

40 bucks later I had a working drive again and was able to rescue the data.

Idiocracy is the only movie I’m aware of that was released as a comedy and became a horror movie.

On the surface, the policy sounds completely reasonable. That kind of thing is probably standard in most schools the world over.

What’s insane is that we’re at a point where “welcoming people” is offensive to somebody.

Or maybe more realistically, it’s easy to feign offence at a bland statement like that and be a bigot without being forced to say the quiet part out loud.

This policy is designed to maintain consistency across all classrooms while ensuring that no one group is targeted or offended by the display of certain items.

Mmmm.
