On top of everything else, the fact that he called someone, anyone, “fully retarded” publicly and in writing blows me away. It’s literally a grade school level insult, and cringey as fuck coming from an adult.

Who reads a tweet like that and comes away thinking anything other than “holy shit, what a sad manchild”?

Seems like a stand-up guy

I mean, duh, he used to be a comedian!

I’ll see myself out now…

Thank you, this clears up some misconception i had about how the *arrs work!

Got it, thanks!

If all your current files are still in the “download” folder, you could probably setup the arrs and qbit as recommended in the guides

Yeah, that’s the rub… they are all currently in separate movies, shows, and music folders as Plex/Jellyfin want them to be.

But it’s sounding like the best bet is to leave the existing content alone for now and spin things up per the guides until I have a better handle on how it all works. Appreciate the input!

Yeah, I’m using Unraid, so this would all be in dockers.

I think maybe I had a false understanding that radarr (for example) interposes itself between the actual media files and Plex/Jellyfin… which sounds like a PITA to undo, and was giving me pause.

Thanks, this is helpful!

If I do a “clean” install, can i later identify specific pieces of media within a library to monitor?

I love scheduled and automation based DND, except that about twice per year, SOMETHING SOMEWHERE updates and causes my alarm to be silenced by DND, despite having my clock app exempted from every possible silencing mechanism I can find.

For the life of me, I can’t understand why that would ever be a useful behavior, let along default one.

Lucky for me, I have a pretty robust internal clock, but Holy Fuck is that annoying.

Not to knock on you, because everyone’s got different priorities, but I think calling it a “huge expense that’s no longer relevant” is a pretty loaded framing. A decent 75-ish inch TV can be had for about the same price as a middle-road flagship phone.

Sure, I can certainly watch a movie or play a game on my little 6" phone screen, but it’s an entirely different experience–in the same way that eating a protein bar and eating your favorite meal will both technically nourish you.

Granted, I’ve spent quite a bit in excess of the cost of a decent TV on the audio system to go with it, but pretty much anything other than watching rando youtube videos or playing idle phone games, I would rather do in front of a large screen with immersive sound–gaming, shows, movies etc., even if it’s just me alone.

I haven’t seen the recent sketch–In the original though, his character was racist out of ignorance, but sorta open-minded and empathetic when actually facing black folks.

That latter part is probably what the trumpers actually find offensive.

Fair point. It’s been MANY years since I read the book, so I’m probably forgetting some context.

It just seems like an issue that transcends the nature the productivity base of the economy, and has more to do with how power is distributed (or not!) in society. I mean, being a manufacturing-based economy certainly didn’t keep oligarchs at bay in the early 1900’s US. On the flip side, a coder or a banker can strike just as well as a machinist.

Anyways, I don’t mean to digress from the main thread…

I’ve always wondered what is the significance of mentioning the transition from a manufacturing-based to a sevices-based economy.

Aside from the old-fashioned notions about how the only real work is done with your hands, or how “Good times make soft men…”, I don’t quite follow the link.

Not sure where I said or implied it was an excuse?

He’s some kind of weird bigot for sure, but he’s also got a history of these random unhinged outbursts from time to time that are clearly a result of something more acute/immediate than being a nazi.

Saying Ye is acting like this because he’s off his meds is saying that those with diagnosed with bipolar or narcissism are just one step away from being a bigot.

Nah, it’s just saying that a specific attention-seeking bigot with a personality disorder, which is marginally controlled with meds, is more likely to go on insane attention-seeking tears of bigotry when he goes off those meds.

Not taking your prescription drugs is a hell of a drug.

Add a little vanilla, and yeah, that’s a Creamsicle!

Or, blend frozen OJ, milk, ice, and a bit of vanilla extract and you’ve basically got an Orange Julius. (Do those places still even exist…?)

If you were to cut a hole in your skull and press your finger into your brain in just the right spot, you can probably convince yourself this is just a really creative take on meat, cheese, and fruit charcuterie…

Destroy it?

Like he destroyed Twitter by turning it into his personal propaganda outlet, maybe.

It sounds to me like he’s just positioning himself to control an AI tech provider who will conveniently be contracted to replace all the government positions he is trying to eliminate.

I just saw few dozen identical comments with a bunch of upvotes, so the idea of people randomly dogpiling one single comment for no apparent reason struck me as funny!

I seem to recall a subreddit like that… chains of identical one word posts, 20 comments deep, all with a hundred upvotes… and one poor dude with like -1000.

Fuck ICE. All my homies hate ICE.

Scanning this thread though, I was kinda hoping there would be one single “Fuck ICE” comment amongst the rest, that was randomly downvoted to oblivion for no apparent reason.
