I printed this model on my Anycubic Kobra 2 in white PLA with 0.2mm layer height without supports, 3 walls and 7% adaptive cubic infill. Scaled it to 130% which was the largest I could fit on my bed (220x220), it took 8 hours to print.

I had some issues with curved overhangs (especially around the cheek bones) but otherwise it printed in pretty decent quality, not the best but acceptable I would say. I would probably add organic supports for the cheekbones if I print another.

I just realised yesterday that the size of my media library was growing significantly faster than anticipated. The culprit seems to be that hard linking doesn't work in radarr and sonarr because I messed up the folder structure of my docker containers, so they've been copying everything to my media folders instead.

Now, the real issue is that my media folders are a mix of and older collection (manually sorted) and the new parts that has been added through radarr/sonarr, so I can't just nuke that and re-import everything from my torrents folder once I've fixed the folder structure. I don't want to nuke the torrents folder because I want to keep seeding all my downloads (most through private trackers, so I need the download credit it creates), but the imported library in my media folders has all the files renamed and many rearranged.

What's the easiest way to fix this? There's about 8tb of actual data, without duplicates, I have 6tb of unused disk space left.

I'm travelling for the moment, and usually I just access my home network with tailscale and it has always worked flawlessly. But the hotel I'm staying at apparently blocks VPN connections, I can't use my regular VPN for work on their network either and I've tried obfuscation,different ports etc. nothing seems to work and it never connects.

How can I circumvent this, if at all? I'm staying for several weeks, so this is a pretty bug issue.

I'm running my media server with a 36tb raid5 array with 3 disks, so I do have some resilience to drives failing. But currently can only afford to loose a single drive at a time, which got me thinking about backups. Normally I'd just do a backup to my NAS, but that quickly gets ridiculous for me with the size of my library, which is significantly larger than my NAS storage of only a few tb. And buying cloud storage is much too expensive for my liking with these amounts of storage.

Do you backup only the most valuable parts of your library?

I sweat a lot when I exercise. After an hour of running at medium intensity (~150bpm avg HR) in 20°C @ 50% humidity, I am literally drenched in sweat. I can wring my clothes and sweat will pour from it. It's difficult to find clothes that are comfortable to wear for my long trips.

I want to add Pokemon Journeys to my jellyfin server, but jellyfin fucks up everything because it thinks it the regular Pokémon show from 1997 and imports metadata for that.

How can I fix this so it shows up correctly in jellyfin?

I've been trying to setup Tdarr to transcode using my AMD integrated GPU instead of my CPU, but all I'm finding online is people using nvidia cards...well, I don't have one of those, but I have an AMD CPU with integrated gpu, so I wanted to use that, but apparently that's extremely uncommon and I can't find any working solutions.

Edit: I'm running Tdarr in a docker container on my OMV media server.

Edit 2: I've gotten it working, but the compression is nonexisting. A h264 -> h265 transcode increases file size by ~5%.

Needed to add my Tdarr container to the render group and pass through the dev/dri/renderD128 folder.

My gluetun VPN keeps failing the health check after running for a few hours. I found that some had fixed this by changing the update period to a shorter interval, and this worked for a while for me as well. But for the last 24h or so, it keeps failing after a few hours.

How can i fix this?

I've started setting up my media server and was wondering if I should put my docker containers with sonarr and radarr behind my VPN the same as my qbit?
