Sonarr Not Scanning Boxset
  • Sonarr doesn't support moving and renaming files where multiple seasons come in on torrent. If you're doing the search interactively, you can trigger the download but the import won't happen automatically. You can move/copy/link the files to the roughly desired location, import them manually, then have Sonarr move and rename the files from there.

  • [Question] Same domain for all federated services
  • All of my services are in containers, I use Docker usually via Docker Compose. That gives me one file to establish all of my services, update/start/stop/check logs with consistent command formats for all services, and keeps the data separate from the application. If I need to rebuild, put a backup of my data in the right spot and change names in filepaths as needed, run a backup of the Docker Compose file and I'm up and running again.

    The only things I don't have in a container is Fail2Ban on my rented, public facing server to minimize noise of bots trying to login.

  • How far you have to travel to see a sky free of light pollution
  • I went to Cherry Springs State Park in Pennsylvania for it's certified Dark Sky Park to see the Palisades Meteor Shower a couple years back. It was a stunning thing, I had never seen so many stars at once. I brought some binoculars, and could see just as many stars through just the little part of the sky the binoculars looked at. That's before just laying there and watching for Shooting Stars, there was a whole crowd there "Ooh"ing and " Aaah"ing each time. It was stunning, I'd highly suggest it to anyon einterested in star gazing.

  • [Question] Same domain for all federated services
  • You are able to host all these services and more on the same domain. I do a similar thing with different services at different subdomains. I don't believe the username@ portion can help point to different services, that syntax is usually associated with email addresses.

    I think the best way to go about it would be having different subdomains such as lemmy.domain.tld, matrix.domain.tld, etc.
    To accomplish that, I have a wildcard subdomain point to my server, my reverse proxy (Caddy) handles figuring out which subdomain maps to which service on top of handling TLS certificates for me.

  • Feeds stop scrolling
  • Sometimes I run into this as well. Usually I cam scroll up a few posts, and start scrolling down again and it works. I think it's just taking the instance a little longer to respond than it takes you to scroll and hit the end of what you have.

  • lemmy links open in new browser.
  • My understanding is that an app needs to register the URLs it wants to try to open before it can open them. This means Jerboa world need to manually add each link as new instances pop up.

    This has already been done with many major instances. If you go to your phone's Settings, then go Apps>Default Apps>Opening Links>Jerboa (or something similar, may change depending upon your phone manufacturer) you'll see a checklist of all currently registered links. Check those, and Jerboa will start opening those links.

  • What are YOU self-hosting?
  • If you're open to things similar to Plex, I'd recommend Jellyfin! Plex has been making some decisions lately that aren't necessarily selfhoster friendly. A selfhosted instance of Plex still authenticates using Plex's central servers (if you're internet is out or Plex is down and you want to stream your own movies or shows, that won't work due to failed authentication). That's compared to your Jellyfin instance handling authentication locally. If you can contact your server, you can watch your media. Plex has also announced a credit skipping feature, uploading credit timing to their central servers that can be restored on complete rebuild. While they say it's anonymous, they need some way to associate you and the proper credit timings, to send that back to you.

    Jellyfin is earlier days in development, and you should check to see what clients are available to see if that would work with your hardware. But Jellyfin is definitely catching up, I've been very happy with their server and applications.

  • how do I create a new community? (instance?)
  • An instance is a server running Lemmy software, which can have a bunch of communities which are effectively subreddits. Some instances allow users to create communities, others restrict that ability to admins.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • Thanks for the recommendations! I finally got to them after a whole bunch of listening to nothing but the new Avenged Sevenfold album. I really liked She Knows It, had an early Avril Lavigne vibe to it which I really liked. The other two weren't for me, but I appreciate the recommendations all the same!

  • Any recommendations for low-end, Linux-friendly games to play?
  • Nuclear Throne. It's a fun Roguelike dungeon crawler. A run from beginning to "end" (last level before looping) can take 15min and I've spent 100s of hours playing over the years.There' are so many characters you can choose to play, each with its own unique special ability.

  • for the Reddit refugees, do you also feel a bit heartbroken?
  • I have been on Reddit for the last 10 years, and a 3rd party app user for all of it. It feels like the end of an era, and that will be sad no matter what. I won't miss the vast majority of subreddits, especially the bigger ones. It's the smaller more niche subreddits I'm going to have a hard time not returning to and I'm hoping to find similar communities elsewhere.

  • What are your thoughts on Visual Programming languages?
  • I work with something like this on a day-to-day basis. We make and production API endpoints on microservives using a largely click, drag, and fillout options style UI, using a functional language of thiers to transform data, this is all written to XML which is consumed by their engine to create a Java application that deploys into their cloud environment. We can also add custom written Java to fill in a few gaps here and there.

    It's good for what it does, making creating API and consuming a variety of data easy. It does allow us to get down to business and start working with the design of the endpoints and manipulating the data off the bat. It's only good at that though, it wouldn't be any good at doing ML or creating an OS or writing a web browser Even with the stuff it's good at, you can feel the limitations as soon as any real logic complexity is involved and it starts to cumbersome quickly.

    And I think that's where those kind of "languages" will excel, it does this one thing that's tedious with a lot of nittygritty boilerplate under the hood but that's not too hard logic-wise well but that's probably about it.

  • r/PrivacyGuides from Reddit has made a Lemmy
  • I'm happy to see them come over and try Lemmy. Not only because it's content I check in on, but it's a good way to expose others to the concepts behind Lemmy and give them a potential starting place finding a home and start discovering.
