Great article to come across right after picking out ideas for my first tattoo…

Is this the brand? I’d be interested in something like this.

Ahh ok sorry I was barely awake and just grabbed the first few, misunderstanding what you were trying to accomplish.

Copilot was really bad at this, but logged into free ChatGPT, it gave me this list on the second attempt with reasoning turned on (first attempt missed a handful of movies). I didn’t check super thoroughly but they seem to all be there, and I don’t see any that aren’t in the post/comments. I added numbering in a subsequent prompt.

Prompt: Can you go through this post including all comments and create a table of all of the movies listed, and add their release date, director and genre? Be very through and make sure to list all movies as some may be formatted differently, and some are mentioned in sentences and nested comments. https://piefed.jeena.net/post/125521


Tap for lengthy result of promptBelow is an updated, comprehensive table that includes all of the movies extracted from the post and its comments – now including “The Matrix” and “The Sandlot” among others. Note that for some titles (like “Tengoku to jigoku”), details are approximate.

Yeah that is a perfect use for AI. Here’s what I came up with:

Using this list of classic movies, can you create a table which also includes each movie’s release date, director and genre? (Insert list of movies)

Here is a table that includes each movie's release date, director, and genre:

Movie Title Release Date Director Genre
M 1931 Fritz Lang Thriller, Crime, Mystery
Gone with the Wind 1939 Victor Fleming, George Cukor, Sam Wood Drama, Romance, War
The Godfather 1972 Francis Ford Coppola Crime, Drama
Taxi Driver 1976 Martin Scorsese Crime, Drama, Thriller
Murder on the Orient Express 1974 Sidney Lumet Crime, Drama, Mystery
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest 1975 Milos Forman Drama
Rear Window 1954 Alfred Hitchcock Mystery, Thriller, Crime
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb 1964 Stanley Kubrick Comedy, War, Satire
Chinatown 1974 Roman Polanski Mystery, Thriller, Drama
Le Grande Bouffe 1973 Marco Ferreri Comedy, Drama
L'Avventura 1960 Michelangelo Antonioni Drama, Mystery, Romance
Tengoku to jigoku (High and Low) 1963 Akira Kurosawa Crime, Drama, Thriller

This table lists the movie titles alongside their release dates, directors, and genres. Let me know if you'd like more details or adjustments!

What a sad state of things. Guess the bribe worked.

It looks to be open source, and does not cost money. The “Try before you buy” heading is perhaps a little confusing, just means “try a demo of the software before spending time installing and configuring on your own instance”.

Looks to be a one stop shop to manage multiple instances of the arr suite. Pretty neat.

Same-ish, with chronic fatigue. This is the way.

To add, if you’re not drinking, take a pain med (Tylenol, neurofen, etc) before as well, to help your old ass bones and joints to not be sore. I usually start hydrating heavy a day or two before. I usually graban Organika or other electrolyte powder instead of Gatorade, and grab a b12 and Coq12. Oh and comfy shoes! Nothing worse than being at like a second or third day of a festival, unable to stand because of sore feets!

So I just added a TP-Link switch (TL-SG3428X) and access point (EAP670) to my network, using OPNSense for routing, and was previously using a TP-Link SX-3008F switch as an aggregate (which I no longer need). I’m still within the return window for the new switch and access point, and have to admit the sale prices were my main reason with going for these items. I understand there have been recent articles mentioning TP-Link and security risks, so I’m thinking if I should consider returning these, and upping my budget to go for ubiquity? The AP would only be like $30 more for an equivalent, so that’s negligible, but a switch that meets my needs is about 1.6x more, however still only has 2 SFP+ ports, while I need 3 at absolute minimum.

I’m generally happy with the performance, however there is a really annoying bug where if I reboot a device, the switch drops down to 1G speed instead of 10G, and I have to tinker with the settings or reboot the switch to get 10G working again. This is true for the OPNSense uplink, my NAS and workstation. Same thing happened with the 3008F, and support threads on the forums have not been helpful.

In any case, any opinions of switching to ubiquity would be worth it?

NFS mount disappearing (self.selfhosted)
submitted 4 months ago by rehydrate5503 to c/selfhosted
 

Hi all,

I’m having an issue with an NFS mount that I use for serving podcasts through audibookshelf. The issue has been ongoing for months, and I’m not sure where the problem is and how to start debugging.

My setup:

  • Unraid with NFS share “podcasts” set up
  • Proxmox on another machine, with VM running Fedora Server 40.
  • Storage set up in Fedora to mount the “podcasts” share on boot, works fine
  • docker container on the same Fedora VM has Audiobookshelf configured with the “podcasts” mount passed through in the docker-compose file.

The issue:

NFS mount randomly drops. When it does, I need to manually mount it again, then restart the Audiobookshelf container (or reboot the VM, but I have other services).

There doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to the unmount. It doesn’t coincide to any scheduled updates or spikes in activity. No issue on the Unraid side that I can see. Sometimes it drops over night, sometimes mid day. Sometimes it’s fine for a week, other times I’m remounting twice a day. What has finally forced me to seek help is the other day I was listening to a podcast, paused for 10-15 mins and couldn’t restart the episode until I went through the manual mount procedure. I checked and it was not due to the disk sinning down.

I’ve tried updating everything I could, issue persists. I only just updated to Fedora 40. It was on 38 previously and initially worked for many months without issue, then randomly started dropping the NFS mounts (I tried setting up other share mounts and same problem). Update to 39, then 40 and issue persists.

I’m not great with logs but I’m trying to learn. Nothing sticks out so far.

Does anyone have any ideas how I can debug and hopefully fix this?

 

Hi folks,

I want to refinish and paint my kitchen cabinets, but before touching the doors I want to ask opinions on how to repair this peeling on edges of 3 cabinets. Looks like steam from the range and kettle did this.

I was thinking to trim off the excess bit that has peeled and expanded, then sand down and fill with wood/general filler before painting with bullseye 123. Is there a better approach?

 

Hello, I’m planning a rather large trip later this year and have been searching for something to help me plan and organize. I’ve come across a few apps that are not exactly privacy friendly, like TripIt and Wanderlog.

Does anyone know of any self hosted or otherwise open source alternatives to these apps?

Hi everyone,

I’m at my wits end here getting port forwarding working on my setup with Nginx Proxy Manager (NPM) and OPNsense.

I recently upgraded my networking gear, and everything is working great, I’m loving OPNsense and 10G networking. I’ve had the same setup for port forwarding for years and never had issues, the main change was the addition of OPNsense and a switch.

Previous setup (I realize this wasn’t the best):

ISP modem -> DHCPv4 with ports 80/443 forwarded to ASUS wireless router WAN -> DHCPv4 with ports 80/443 forwarded to VM on proxmox running NPM -> NPM set up with hosts to proxy services on other VMs/server.

This (or a variation thereof) has all been working great for years, along with ddns set up as I have a dynamic IP.

New setup:

ISP modem -> DHCP off with ports 80/443 forwarded to OPNsense WAN via MAC address -> OPNsense NAT-Port Forwarding set up to the NPM host/port, rest is the same as before.

The settings for the port forward are the standard I’ve found in guides. WAN address, any source/port, redirect to NPM host and ports. Tried the domain I usually use, no luck. Port checker shows the ports are closed.

Tried the following:

  1. DMZ on the ISP modem keeping WAN IP default/automatic and adding OPNsense to the DMZ, no change.
  2. Advanced DMZ on ISP, WAN is the external IP, no change
  3. Same as 2, but changed OPNsense WAN settings from DHCPv4 to PPPoE, and added the ISP login info. Received new IP, updated ddns, still no change.
  4. Checked over port forwarding settings, enabled NAT reflection, still nothing.

I’m between all these steps, I rebooted OPNsense, proxmox, switches, etc.

Any ideas on what I could try for next steps? All of the local networking and external connections work awesome, it’s just the port forwarding as the last piece. Thanks!

Edit 2023-01-03:

I finally solved this, turned out the OPNSense and NPM configuration was all correct.

The problem was a glitch in the docker compose/portainer. I had my ports in docker compose set to 80:80/443:443, but when the container was deployed, it assigned 1880:80/18443:443 because of…reasons, and I didn’t notice until going through it all line by line 🤦.

Redeploying the stack/container didn’t solve it, so I changed the time zone to another city, redeployed and viola, everything works perfect as it should!

Hi,

I’ve been running Linux for some time, currently on Nobara and happy. Running it on a 1TB NVME, and a second 1TB NVME drive for extra storage for games, etc., both at gen 3.

I find myself running out of room and just picked up 2TB and 1TB NVME drives, both gen 4, and am thinking as to what the best partition layout would be. The 2x1TB gen 3 will be moved to my NAS as a cache pool.

The PC is used for gaming, photo/video editing and web development.

I guess options would be:

  1. OS on 2TB, and the 1TB for extra storage, call it a day.
  2. OS on 1TB, and the 2TB for extra storage
  3. Divy up the 1TB to have a partition for /, another for /home and another for /var and maybe another for games, then on the 2TB have one big partition for games and scratch disk for videos.
  4. Same as option 3 but swap the drives around.

What would YOU do in this situation? I’m leaning towards option 3 or a variation there of, as it gives versatility to hop to a new distro if I want relatively easy, and one big partition for game storage/video scratch.

My mobo only supports 2xNVME drives unfortunately (regret not spending an extra $60-70 on a better one), but I have a USB-C NVME enclosure that I might use with a a spare 1TB that will be removed from the NAS.

Any thoughts?

Edit: sorry forgot to reply. Thank you all for the input, this was great information and I took a deep dive researching some solutions. I ended up just keeping it simple and went with option 2, with the 1TB as the OS drive and 2TB as additional storage, no additional partitions.

Hi everyone,

I’m not sure if this is the right community, but the home networking magazines seem to be pretty dead. I’m a bit green with regard to networking, and am looking for help to see if the plan I’ve come up with will work.

The main image in the post is my current network setup. Basically the ISP modem/router is just a pass through and the 10 Gb port is connected to my Asus router, which has the DHCP server activated. All of my devices, home lab and smart home devices are connected to the Asus router via either Wifi or Ethernet. This works well, but I have many neighbours close by, and with my 30+ wifi devices, I think things aren’t working as well as they could be. I guess you could say one of my main motivations to start messing with this is to clean it up and move all possible devices to Ethernet.

The planned new setup is as follows, but I’m not sure if it’s even possible to function this way.

https://i.postimg.cc/7YftSFt6/IMG-9281.jpg

ISP modem/router > 2.5 Gb unmanaged switch > 2.5 Gb capable devices (NAS, hypervisor, PCs) will connect directly here, along with a 1 Gb managed switch to handle the DHCP > Asus router would connect to the managed switch to provide wifi, and remaining wired devices will all connect to the managed switch as well.

Any assistance would be appreciated! Thanks!

Hello!

I’ve been running unRAID for about two years now, and recently had a thought to use some spare parts and separate my server into two based on use. The server was used for personal photos, videos, documents, general storage, projects, AI art, media, multitude of docker containers, etc. But I was thinking, it’s a bit wasteful to run parts that I use once or twice a week or less 24/7, there is just no need for the power use and wear and tear on the components. So I was thinking to separate this into a server for storage of photos, videos and documents powered on when needed, and then a second server for the media which can be accessed 24/7.

Server 1 (photos, videos, documents, AI experiments): 1 x 16TB parity, 2 x 14TB array. I7 6700k, 16GB ram

Server 2 (media, docker): 1 x 10TB parity, 1 x 10TB and 2 x 6TB array. Cheap 2 core skylake CPU from spare parts, 8GB ram.

With some testing, server 2 only pulls about 10w while streaming media locally, which is a huge drop from the 90+ watts at idle that it was running when I had everything combined.

I was hoping to use an old laptop I have laying around for the second server instead, which has an 8 core CPU, 16GB ram, and runs at 5w idle. I have a little NVMe to SATA adapter that works well but the trouble is powering the drives reliably.

Anyways, pros of separating it out, lower power usage, less wear and tear on HDDs so I will have to replace them less frequently.

Cons, running and managing two servers.

Ideally, I’d like to run server 1 on the cheap 2 core skylake CPU (it’s only serving some files after all), server 2 on the laptop with 8 cores (but still have the issue of powering the drives), and then take the i7 6700 for a spare gaming PC for family.

Alternative would be to just combine everything back into one server and manage the shares better, have drives online only when needed, etc. But I had issues with this, and would sometimes log into the web ui to find all drives spun up even though nothing was being accessed.

Anyways, I hope all of that makes sense. Any insight or thoughts would be appreciated!

Anyways, I hope all of that makes sense. Any insight or thoughts would be appreciated!
