  • Facebook marketplace is the only place I've been able to actually sell anything for at least a couple of years now. Craigslist used to be the shit, now it's just shit. OfferUp is absolute trash. Let go was pretty good, but got bought out and shut down by OfferUp a while back. Unfortunately, FB might be the best place, for now. I can't wait until I can finish selling off all of the stuff I need to get rid of. It's the only reason I haven't fully deleted my FB account yet.




  • Run updates without me having to worry that "whoops, an update was fucked, and the system is not unbootable anymore. Enjoy the next 6 hours of begging on forums for someone to help you figure out what happened, before being told that the easiest solution is to just wipe your drive and do a fresh install, while you get berated by strangers for not having the entirety of the Linux kernel source code committed to memory."





  • I am using immich as a replacement for Google photos, which syncs my phones and tablets. I just wish it had any kind of photo editing.

    I then also have Photoprism, which I use for my actual photography stuff. When I pull raws and videos from my DSLR, I dump them into a share on my NAS, mapped to a drive in Windows. They then get automatically imported into and managed by Photoprism.

    Still trying to work out the best way to edit/work with the raws in Lightroom, while keeping them in Photoprism, and also up-to-date.

    I also use Duplicati to do nightly encrypted backups to Google drive.


  • The very unfortunate solution that I have decided upon, is to switch it over to using TMDB, which seems to have no trouble syncing the correct metadata. I say unfortunate, because TMDB has yet another completely different idea as to what the episode orders, numbers, and titles should be, which required renaming the files yet again. And I don't want my library turning into a hodgepodge of metadata from multiple sources(and I'd be constantly worried that anything using tvdb was wrong, anyway), so that means I'm going to have to go in and rename/reorder/etc who knows how many files, from who knows how many series, so everything detects correctly. That, in turn, means completely removing the physical files from the library and deleting the nfo files, to ensure everything is completely removed, then doing to rename and adding them back to the library all over again. I wonder how long this is gonna take. Or how badly this is going to fuck with my trakt data.

    And of course sonarr only uses tvdb, so that's a whole thing. Yup, definitely remembering why I originally abandoned jellyfin for Plex in a hurry the first time around. Metadata issues.




  • Did I miss something? Where have all the English dubs gone? All of the shows that I watch on Friday and Saturday, which had scheduled dubbed episode releases, just... didn't. Dr Stone and JJK both got their episodes on Thursday, in spite of the holiday, and other shows earlier in the week came out, then everything(that I watch at least) after Thursday just didn't come out. No amount of googling leads me to any useful information, just links back to Crunchyroll, where the last dubbed episodes are all least weeks episodes. And if I check the schedule page on the Funimation site, it's literally blank and says there are no shows of any kind, in any capacity, scheduled for the next 12 weeks. I assume that's a bug on their site, as usual.








  • Actually, I just finished importing all of my media to jellyfin a few hours ago, and just opened Plex and jellyfin side to by side, and manually verified everything. Took maybe an hour and a half to carefully look through everything, and just listened to a podcast in the meantime. Only had to manually identify maybe 10 anime, change cover art for 4 or 5, and I was good. Setup the docker version of that jellyPlex-Watched tool, let it do it's thing for another hour, and I'm basically now fully moved over to Jellyfin and ready to go.

    And yeah, first thing I did was turn on the nfo file setting. Thankfully, I don't put anything into my library without first manually organizing/naming the internal folder structure, and then using the RenameMyTVSeries app to rename the actual files using data from tvdb. So as long as I have Plex/jellyfin set to be forced to prioritize metadata from tvdb, it is almost always detected correctly. Sometimes it'll decide to identify an anime like One Piece or Witchblade as the live-action show instead, since they have the same name. But that rarely happens, and only needs to be fixed once. And with now having those files sitting in with the actual media files, if I ever have to make another move like this in the future, it should be that much easier.
