Cults tend to be defined by how they control their members. Cultures tend to form around similarities.

You need actual moderation to keep people safe.

I don't like the overuse and misuse of Material UI – the paper-looking thing with raised textures and shadows. It takes a bit of work to make it look good, and many sites just drop in a CSS file and call it a day.

Thanks for all the questions and I absolutely don’t think you’re being too negative! This was mainly made to scratch an itch I had, but I hope that other people find it useful too.

The main difference between this and plex_debrid is that this is set up out of the box to work without manual integration steps. You don’t have to copy the Plex API key around — simply sign into Plex and Overseerr, and my config script handles wiring your watchlist up to request content.

I’ve also built a high-quality media selection algorithm that I think is the best out there for getting the copies of media you want to make your users happy. Check out the docs on Media Profiles.

Putting everything in one container doesn’t necessarily break the mantra of using containers. I use containers all day at my job and in my personal clusters. What I’ve found is using tools like Docker Compose to distribute software makes it much harder for people to run my software on home servers like Unraid — and there wasn’t a technical reason I couldn’t bundle these into one container to make it easier. In this case, the services are pretty coupled and I don’t have much need to scale them up individually.

I haven’t built any automation for this yet, but my repo tracks the upstream sources for rclone, pms-docker, and Overseerr, and I’d like to pull in those updates as I cut new releases.

I have a "traditional" home server with Plex + *arr + torrent client set up. It's great, but I need to manage the storage space on my NAS and I have to wait a few hours between requesting media and watching it. Using Debrid with Torrentio means I don't have to wait for a download or find a place to store it.

Right now I run both Coaxist and my old Plex server in parallel.

You've identified the main benefit – Debrid services provide cached torrents for "instant" downloads. Streaming straight from a Debrid service's fileshare also means you don't need to buy drives or additional storage.

When you say Wasabi, do you mean the hosted S3-compatible cloud storage service?

I don’t have any plans at the moment but I welcome anyone who would like to fork the project for this. Happy to try and make things easy for you.

Learning K8s is a lot to take on, but it will pay off as your needs expand in the long term — and if you decide to go into infra/ops at work.

Yeah and think of how many more people a single five-person helicopter can move per hour! An obvious choice

Paprika was a real trip.

Agreed, the prices for Android are much better when non-US tariffs are involved.

 

Of course a travel lock won't stand up to much abuse, but this one also doubles as a carabiner when used unlocked. $30 from Matador.

Sleep off your Kabukicho hangover on the Romancecar from Shinjuku to Hakone as you ride toward an onsen you can spend all day relaxing in. Not that I speak from experience.

 
  • Wear a sling bag for quick access to your stuff without having to go into your big bag on the airplane.
  • You probably don't need the fancy laundry soap packets to wash your clothes in the sink. You can use a little bit of laundry soap bar in a plastic bag, or in a pinch, some hand soap.
  • Nice sandals (like Bedrock) and zero-drop shoes (like Lems) can pack real flat into your bag and reclaim some space.
  • Bring a Heroclip, a carabiner which can double as a hook to keep your nice backpack off the bathroom floor.
  • Little A6 notebooks fit almost anywhere and are a great way to jot down notes during your trip.

I try to stay minimal in terms of volume, and for me, that means ditching most redunancies when traveling with one bag. I replace the electric shaver with a simple disposable razor, and I only pack one CeraVe SPF face lotion that I use for my hands if I need it. For doing laundry in the sink, I use a cut-down bar of Zote pink soap in the Matador dry-thru soap bag.

For my dry goods, I use this Sea to Summit hanging toiletry bag which I bought for ultralight camping. This thing is super light and has plenty of great organization for being so tiny. For the 1 quart liquids bag required for airline travel, I recently upgraded from a ziploc bag to this generic, durable, clear-sided plastic bag with a zipper and handle. I attach a small carabiner and clip the handle to the hanging bag if I don't have space by the sink.

What are your favorite toiletry tips?

 

Hello! I'm Matt and I just booted up Globe.pub, a Lemmy instance focused on world travel. I'm trying to build a cozy and friendly home for people who used to have that sort of community on Reddit.

Right now, we have two communities:

  • [email protected] – for anything and everything relating to visiting the country of Japan
  • [email protected] – travel light, avoid lost luggage, and move faster with one backpack, rather than a giant checked roller bag

Community creation is open – if you have a favorite destination or a specific travel-related topic, we'd love to host your conversations about the places you like to go and the ways you like to explore.

Welcome | välkommen | fáilte | ようこそ | selamat datang!

 

Learning a bit of Japanese over the three months before I arrived helped me out a lot and I'm so glad that I spent the effort doing so. But if you don't have the time for that, you can still have a great trip to Japan.
