Namecheap + the dynamic DNS client in pfSense. No issues sinve I set it up years ago.

Before that it was a cron job that updated through the google domains api.

Da Archive maybe? Most of my stuff has come from there.

I swear by ddrescue. It’s a situation I strive to never be but i’ve been there before. I used it once to rescue an employees masters capstone project from their dead work laptop.

Oh MediaTracker looks nice, thanks!

.1Q because Q has a tag on it

The shuttle SRB’s were really only reusable in the same sense that the engine from a wrecked car can be removed, stripped to a bare block, bored out, rebuilt, and placed into a new car is reusable. Hard to say exactly how long it took to turn around SRB segments, but just the rail transport between Utah and Florida was 12 days each way. SpaceX has turned around Falcon 9 boosters in under a month.

And even with all of that, the most reused reusable segments barely flew a dozen times. There is one Falcon 9 first stage that has now flown 18 times.

You’re not wrong about parts having been reused in the past but the scale of what has been done before really doesn’t compare to what SpaceX does now.

This is an interesting observation, not really something I have considered. The key difference here is that you are the one in control of those customizations. Whether the customizations are useful or harmful is entirely up to the user, Kagi just gives you the option.

For me at least, the majority of my searches I just want the correct answer to a question or a link to a specific resource I’m looking for. I don’t really use it as a content discovery engine. Being able to prioritize sites that I have found through experience to have reliable results and exclude sites that are uninformative or irritating is valuable.

Some people do it as a political statement. Blocking Israel is a real example I’ve seen.

Kagi! Worth every penny of the subscription. The emphasis on privacy is a big deal for me but the killer feature is the ability to customize results. I have sites I personally like/trust towards the top and have an ever growing blacklist of sites that don’t get shown at all. No more pinterest, spruce, or other seo spam sites!

Look into using GNU stow! It’s exactly what you’re doing but it creates the symlinks for you.

I love this solution, I’ve been using it for years. I had previously just been using the home directory is a git repo approach, and it never quite felt natural to me and came with quite a few annoyances. Adding stow to the mix was exactly what I needed.

Neat

I was thinking of how to use Sheets as a storage device. Reminded me of this video.

Lots of searching

I’ve used ledger on and off for a few years. I use it along with ledger-autosync to process the transaction files I download from Amazon, Paypal, and my bank. I haven’t gone so far as to automate the import of those files, I just download them manually, but it does support that.

I try not too think about it 😬

I would guess everything together is around 800 Watts

It’s alright. I have it tied in to my existing Calibre library so my metadata and library management workflows haven’t really changed. The process of finding and downloading new books has just been streamlined a bit.

Frankly because I haven’t figured out quality profiles yet and saw separate instances recommended a few places.

For managing my library on disk, I just recently made the effort to set up the *arr apps. I love having the metadata, tagging, organizing, and file naming all consistent and automated. Previously I used mp3tag and filebot to manage them and it was way more manual. Everything is set up with docker-compose and Ansible.

Library file stuff:

• Two Radarr instances, one for 4k and another for lower resolutions
• Sonarr for TV
• Lidarr for music
• Two readarr instances, one for epub/pdf and one for audiobooks
• Jackett
• deluge+openVPN

For library frontend stuff:

• Jellyfin for movies, tv, music, audiobooks
• Plex, for when Jellyfin is acting up
• Jellyseer for TV & movie requests
• LaunchBox for videogames and emulators
• Calibre + calibreWeb for ebooks & syncing to my Kobo eReader

Haven’t set up yet:

• flaresolverr
• unpackerr
• audiobookshelf

Doesn’t exist yet/wishlist:

• *arr app for emulator ROMs (I’ll have to check out romm, looks pretty cool!)
