  • Discarr: open-source disc rip → Sonarr/Radarr import pipeline [Node.js, GPL-3.0]

  • Thank you for the explanation! Makes sense to me.

  • I've been trying to get on ripping my dvd library, but some of this stuff flies over my head:

    Can you give me a gist on what a "remux" is & why you prefer it over encoding it? From the context it seems like it's similar to lossless vs lossy codecs for audio?

  • Is Plex really Self Hosting?

    Jump

  • ... well, at some point any hobby grows to the point where purists show up.

    There's give and take with everything. Is it "self" hosted if you rely on Docker - a 3rd party with control over their own infrastructure? Or hosting it on a Debian OS? Is it really "private" if it's connected to the internet at all?

    Are you running the Plex Server application on some hardware so other devices can access the library? Hey, that's self-hosting. That's it.

  • Still a better outcome than when a fireworks show "glitches".

  • Has there ever been an industry that's been "enshittified" and then un-"enshittified"?

    Jump

  • I'll see if I can invoke Cunningham's Law, here -

    No, I don't think it happens. There's not enough financial incentive to un-enshittify, and often the companies that turn their products to crap were bought/sold to investors. To un-enshittify the product, the new owners would have to care about a long term investment and actually spend time & energy to learn whatever business they just bought up. Just doesn't make sense when their end goal is to quickly sell it for a profit, even if it means stripping the otherwise-healthy business for parts.

  • People who are staying on Plex, have you tried Jellyfin? What about it do you not prefer? (real question)

    Jump

  • I'm in the throes of attempting a migration from Plex (lifetime pass, here) to Jellyfin, and my main issue is echoed elsewhere: It's a headache to set up secure external access. My users would either need a new account through some auth gate I'd have to set up & manage, or I'd have to wire everyone up through wireguard or something they'd have to remember a password for and blah blah blah.

    Plex is the only thing my home server is sharing. I don't have anything directly exposed to the external internet. In any case I can think of, doing this "right" means extra steps (on top of new steps) for my current users, plus new security concerns & added user management for myself.

  • What is a game you can’t understand why its so popular ?

    Jump

  • I really don't understand it. I've played a little of both Dota & LoL and it's the same group of miserable pricks. Is there a moba that doesn't have a lethally toxic player base?

  • New $750 plex pass pricing

    Jump

  • Bought a Plex Pass when it was $100. Pretty decent at the time, much easier to get the family hooked up to that vs Jellyfin.

    And every change they've made - especially adding their own completely trash streaming library - has taken value away from that pass.

  • Lego Batman Legacy Of The Dark Knight Leaked And Pirated 3 Days Before Release And 7 Hours Before Early Access

  • They're somehow always baffled that their cakes are melting

    Jump

  • I'm not sure at what point it happened, but the big white tent quickly became an icon for the series, too. Pretty early on the bakers talk about being in awe of "the actual tent". At this point we must ask ourselves - is it truly baking if you’re not in a tent?

    Also, tangentially related - I'm a fan of having the weather play a part. No, normally you wouldn't be baking in a thunderstorm at 40°C @ 200% humidity, buuuuuut the drama makes for some good watchin'. Yep, they'd have an easier time in a dedicated indoor space. That's boring. Show me how an opera cake handles a summer day.

  • Might have an answer, as a fan of the show:

    In the first season they toured around a bit instead of setting up shop in the backyard of a mansion. It was a neat idea. I wager the initial intention was to celebrate the locations many of the bakes came from as well as the food itself. Mel & Sue would wander around the town interviewing bakers and talking about the history of whatever the bakers were making.

    But I imagine the logistics of moving a giant tent every episode with a dozen mini-kitchens in it wasn't worth the hassle. Season 2 was the first time they set up behind a mansion.

    I think they stuck with it because it's relatively easy to rent some space in a field somewhere scenic and set up shop. Different locations keeps things fresh, and the gentle "nature" aesthetic matches the vibe of the show (imo).

  • Thing is, I remember a time when getting cosmetic surgery / Botox was the "I'd never do that" thing. Now it's getting harder to find people in the public eye who haven't had it.

    I think all it'd take is Google/Apple/Meta/MS to normalize the requirement.
