So is the issue that your extra drive mounts to /storage, but that happens after Docker has already started and taken over the directory, so the mount fails? Normally I’d expect it to happen in the other order. Is this a weird race condition?
This might be a good thing to run through with ChatGPT- there are probably ways to delay the Docker container start, but maybe there’s a more significant misconfiguration you can deal with.
Is Docker starting up and one of the containers mounts a volume to a /storage folder on the host? That could explain it but I’m not super clear on all that’s going on in your system.
Quick test: disable auto start on all your containers and restart and see if it recurs.
I’d actually advise a low tech solution here. You can buy paper agendas designed for exactly this sort of thing, and we used one for my daughter.
There’s some benefits:
The cons include needing to look somewhere else for the time, which means checking your phone or a wall clock since that paper ain’t gonna tell you.
If you do go the app route, look into the accessibility settings on your phone to help with glaring backlight. On iOS, you can map the Siri button to apply a different black point, which basically toggles to a much darker backlight than you’d normally get.
Now, whenever I’m lurking around the kid while she’s sleeping, I just triple-tap that button and it dims my backlight to something that won’t disturb her.
That falls under WRONG. Lack of consent is WRONG but there’s also nothing worse than documentation that is WRONG.
I find the fabric a bit rough compared to most tees, but they’re durable as hell.
Excuse me, but it’s industry practice to always use PlusJs.
Its just annoying that it has its own dependency on MinusJs.
Take a look at the Linuxserver Docker images. They curate a huge list of self hosted apps that is great to browse and look for ideas. You don’t need to run Docker and use their images - I’m just suggesting review their list of apps they support to get some ideas of what’s out there.
That Pi is too old to handle any media tasks (like running a Jellyfin server), but for any low intensity duties it’s still perfectly usable.
Given Plex’s users, I think it’s appropriate to notify everyone with a Plex account for changes like that. No issue there.
What I take issue with is that email. It’s at best lazy and at worst manipulative. It’s worded like “if you stream media you need to buy this new pass”. Ok, clear. This free app I use now costs money.
But then they slap on “alternatively, if you connect to a server with a Plex Pass don’t worry about it”. But that’s not something the majority of consume-only users are going to understand. I have about 15 regular users and the only one who knew what that meant was the one who runs their own Plex server.
I have a Plex Pass and my users are still getting this.
To be crystal clear to anyone getting this email: if the server admin has a Plex Pass, users need to do nothing to continue as normal. The streaming pass is only for users who aren’t connecting to a server that has a Plex Pass.
What I find shitty about this is that it’s being indiscriminately sent to every Plex account. There’s bound to be lots of people who don’t understand what this means who will be tricked into buying a streaming pass they don’t need at all. I’ve been getting messages from my users all day asking wtf is going on, and I’m getting tired of trying to convince them to just ignore the email.
Read the email again. The key word in their marketing slop is “alternatively”. You have a Plex Pass and are the server admin. Your users need to do nothing.
Unfortunately, that does mean I have to respond to messages from all my users asking what that email means and convince them they can just ignore it.
A second “nice” part of this change is that iOS users no longer have to buy the Plex app on the App Store to stream longer than a minute. The app is only like 5 bucks one time, but it was a barrier when trying to convince stubborn people to just fucking TRY my Plex server.
I feel sick saying it, but I think this is a project you could complete with AI. It sucks ass at understanding complex problems, but it’s good at cranking out small scripts to integrate tools together.
You basically just want a wrapper around ffmpeg with a light web interface to handle upload, script execution, and download.
LLMs are pretty good at spitting out a simple web interface that runs in a barebones server like Express or nginx.
If you don’t need to worry about security or accessibility or any “not on the critical path” concerns, this could probably work after a few iterations.
As for anything already out there - I’ve never come across anything. The closest app I can think of is TDARR which is intended to automatically transcode your media library to h265. That wraps up some of the ffmpeg stuff you want, but doesn’t address the upload/download half of the workflow.
It’s important to identify the tasks you and your spouse do, and how you feel about them. Sharing the loaf works better if there are things your spouse does that you personally despise doing.
For example, I do all the shopping, cooking, working, and clean the kitchen. It’s a heavy load, but those are all things I don’t mind doing so it’s tolerable. My wife handles laundry, cleaning most of the rest of the home, meal planning, and does a higher proportion of the direct child care. She doesn’t mind those things nearly as much as she hates the tasks I do.
As one of us burns out from one task or other, we frequently check in and adjust. Sometimes I just can’t deal with the kitchen anymore and we order in takeout for a couple days. Sometimes she’s overwhelmed by chores and we tag team getting the obvious tasks done while the kid is napping.
For technology, AnyList has been a killer app. Being able to collaborate on meal planning and building shopping lists is amazingly useful.
I think the broader problem with mental labour is that men have typically been blind to many of the general maintenance tasks that women have silently done for generations, and this unspoken arrangement creates resentment. As long as you keep that in mind, it’s pretty easy to have conversations about it. Like other posters have said - make a list! Once you’ve written down all the things that have to happen to keep a household running, you can delegate them accordingly or at least make it highly visible as to who does what. It’s not necessarily wrong to have an imbalance, provided you’re both aware and honest about it.
I went to the mailbox today and then remembered it’s a holiday and there’s no mail delivery. So I went back inside and then saw an email that my UPS package was delivered. So I went back out and opened the mailbox and there was my mail.
…for now.
And that ocean is preferably on a planet other than Earth.
I had the same problem and eventually abandoned it. Even though I had good results with it finding content, the book metadata is usually terrible and I end up having to manually fix it in Calibre and then force download metadata and cover art.
If I’m already having to do that anyway, might as well just acquire the book manually and import it myself.
Wasn’t it Visual SourceSafe or something like that?
God, what a revolution it was when subversion came along and we didn’t have to take turns checking out a file to have exclusive write access.
This happened to me once and I completely overthought it.
In my case, I removed the PCB from the drive and took a close look and saw a single scorched IC that I figured was the problem. I think it was a voltage regulator or something like that.
So I bought a scrap drive and tried to transplant the PCB onto my dead drive, but of course that wouldn’t be able to read my old data.
So took it into a local electronics repair shop and asked if he’d be able to make it work.
He took one look at the damaged PCB, pushed the scrap one back at me and said “yeah I’ll just replace this part.”
40 bucks later I had a working drive again and was able to rescue the data.
If this was AI I’d have expected HB IS NOT YOUR FIEND56
