Jellyfin + Finamp has been pretty good for me.

If a person is obese by BMI and the weight is actually muscle it's obvious to everyone. They're either in fantastic shape or they're a powerlifter (all of who know the health risks of the amount of fat they're carrying). BMI isn't wildy off in ways that will surprise a doctor.

Gotta keep your head from turning even the slightest amount under load.

The wife and I are planning to take the family to Salem, Massachusetts next year for Halloween. Apparently they go pretty hard there.

For a second I wasn't sure if I had posted this and just didn't remember it

My work history is ok; I have solid interview and writing skills, which is more important to most places I think. Mostly because I apply for a lot of things I'm not really qualified for or that pay too little just for the interviews.

Late reply, but I suppose you're correct; I think the option to choose what to install, the lack of pre-created desktop stuff ("home/$username/Videos" for example) and the requirement that you handle software that isn't in the base install all make a Slackware installation less bloated than most. Maybe not at install time, but over the life of the install you end up with less garbage IMHO.

Healed up (late reply and all), I dig the book, but the dialog is painful, much more than the vasectomy

FOS emulation (self.sysadmin)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by databender to c/[email protected]
 

I started a new job as a systems engineer not too long ago and am looking for a way to get comfortable with FOS as I've never had to manage FC switches before. Anyone know of a way to emulate it, or should I just resign myself to buying an old switch on ebay and throwing it in the rack?

So I'm going to be getting a new housemate soon, and they will most likely take the room that's housing my dell r420 and rack. It's currently running proxmox and hosting a jellyfin instance that I and a few friends/family members are using.

I'd like to move the server to another area, but cooling and noise requirements are making this an issue. I was thinking about clustering a bunch or raspberry pi's that I have sitting around to try and come up with something like a replacement, but I can't get my head around moving my storage off local disk to a san that won't have a fibrechannel connection to my compute. Should I be looking at other SBC types, or should I just invest in renovating to build a new suitable spot for my hardware? What would you do?

EDIT: I'm hosting more than jellyfin, but this is the app I'm worried about - everything else can make do with a slower storage-compute connection.
