I've been happy with DuckDNS. Free, simple, and reliable.

It isn't just you, it failed on me enough times that I'll never touch it again. I either manually install raw Arch, or use EndeavourOS instead for a "lazy" install.

If you're just looking for a music solution, check out Navidrome. It'll run on basically anything, and there are plenty of compatible apps for playback (Subsonic API).

Jellyfin can handle music alongside movies/shows, but the music side isn't as feature-rich. Great for basic playback though, I run both.

If it was me, I'd just go without parity temporarily and grab another drive for that when I could. A new system should be safe enough for a while, just not forever.

It's just Chromium with a layer of Microsoft on top. It'll have the same extension issues from Manifest v3 that mainline Chrome does.

On the bright side, 20TB of hard drives is relatively cheap these days if you buy used. They'll pay for themselves in a year if you kill the streaming services.

Happy sailing

Unless you're also running a torrent client, you don't really need a VPN at all. The *arrs aren't doing anything that needs to be hidden, and Usenet is fine with just SSL.

You can interact with a single container if you need to, not just the whole compose group. docker compose restart jellyfin works for your example, and "restart" can be swapped for stop or start as needed.

Splitting compose files can be a good idea, but it isn't always necessary.

Great little knives. They aren't my EDC, but I have a handful of them to keep in cars and bags.

Sometimes, all you need is a sharp edge and something to hold it with. This does exactly that, and nothing more.

Exactly. IMDB assigns an identifier to each piece of content, and Plex (or Jellyfin/Emby/etc) use that to pull metadata.

Because then they can sell the Premium Collectors' Deluxe Edition for $100. Exactly the same stuff, but it also comes with a WoW mount and some Hearthstone card backs that an intern crapped out in an hour. And people will eat it up, as is tradition.

It doesn't seem like a huge stretch. If somebody had a stored collection, and didn't share the server with anybody, why not point Plex at that folder? There's even an *arr for it, so it fits right into the usual stack.
