I’ve recently been getting into programming for work. Which of course has got me trying to learn more about AI. I’m still a super amateur. I started with bing AI cause that free gpt4 access and bypassing the 4k character limit by telling bing not to reply until I’m done. Now I’m primarily using free plan of phind and its vscode extension. Which I really like. I don’t use the buttons that write code as I always write code myself and rarely copy paste. Helps me learn. I just like that it’s quicker without crazy character limits.

I did recently see that you can pay for bing AI in VS code. Then it got me thinking if I’m gonna pay then I want to make sure it is for something good and prob not Microsoft. So considering paying for phind but now I am trying to look into what others are doing. There’s a world of products I’ve never heard of like hugging face. So I guess it’s time to start my journey on finding which one works best for me. I’ve recently degoogled myself so haven’t really touched bard but if Gemini proves worth it I may.

Just rambling thoughts from a self taught noob programmer.



It’s been out for a long time with limited access and nothing yet. Maybe Apple will change their mind toward it when it’s being used by a large group of people finally. Hopefully not.

Edit: I was wrong. See below.


Seedbox is optional. It can connect to different torrent software to load the torrents in. It also can just do “black hole” which dumps all the torrents into a folder that you can setup your torrent program to watch.


They have a wiki which explains a lot: https://wiki.servarr.com/ as well as other arr software.

Edit: sonarr monitors your tv shows to make sure it has all episodes and grabs new ones. Radarr monitors your movie collection. It also connects directly to your torrent provider / seedbox. Can setup quality profiles and the like to customize which files get grabbed and what not. They also do bulk renaming of files to make sure plex sees them properly. Plus more.


Yeah I am almost positive they do force itself back on sometimes lol. Though you are right that it shouldn’t share your IP. But like short of someone you don’t know having access to your WiFi it has to be something weird like that lol

Good to know about Usenet. I haven’t used it in a decade and have no idea what provider I was using. I was also younger and dumber so prob didn’t realize I could have just switched providers. Me at the time thought the dmca Usenet was more of a global issue. I now realize that likely wasn’t the case lol


I wonder if Xfinity hotspots could be this? Are you using their modem / router ?

Edit: also glad to hear Usenet is doing well. I switched to it a long time ago and uses for a bit. Though I remember so many items being removed due to dmca. All my downloads were just text files saying removed by dmca over and over again. So I ended up switching back to torrent via seedbox. Now I just use real debrid. Don’t feel like bothering with other setups lately lol.



Hmm I had my buddy go to this and he claims his download history has things he never downloaded. He doesn’t use a VPN and no one in his house torrents but him. Also he primarily uses a seedbox. Confusing lol.

Oh he uses T-Mobile home internet so prob shares a public IP with more than a usual ISP


I too would like to know. I use the app Due on iOS. And it is nice and not a sub (though after 1 year you technically need to buy it again IF you want features that released into the app after 1 year of your purchase. It’s also iOS only and doesn’t let others force a notification on you. But if they have the app they can create a notification and text you a custom link to auto add that notification to your app. For anyone reading who is on iOS and wants something like this. due is really cool. Notifications but with a lot of customization. Most important feature is that you can use critical alerts. So like an alarm it can override silence mode or focuses to notify you every X minute until you snooze or dismiss. Can also disable snooze but then I find my self dismissing without actually doing it.

Either way a platform agnostic proper notification system sounds right up my alley. Just googling around I found Apprise and Mind might look into that later (don’t know nearly enough to say if it’s a viable alternative to Galarm or Due but seems extensive and lightweight.


+1 for silver bullet. Love it. PWA works great. And it works offline I believe.


Yeah thankfully I use Arch Linux. Their wiki guide was much better.


Once you do get the drivers installed properly as per your OS (speaking of, which distro are you using? Edit: nvm I see you are on Ubuntu), here are the steps to give docker access to it: https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud-native/container-toolkit/latest/install-guide.html




I’m on my phone but try this

Edit: don’t know if my linking it will draw more attention and we lose it. I downloaded a copy just in case and removed the link. Instead I’ll explain where I got it from: https://filepursuit.com/ search for mikethetech


Yeah this post had me a little worried I’m doing something wrong haha. But I do it just like that. Compose file per stack.


I’ve seen this one mentioned before for guitar tabs : https://tabarchive.mikethetech.com/

Edit: has been pointed out that they had to disable downloading for legal reasons. Bummer. Way back machine has some of the data archived (may 2022 has some which can be downloaded, but others are dec 2022 or newer which are archived)

Edit2: found a better archive I think. don’t know if my linking it will draw more attention and we lose it. I downloaded a copy just in case and removed the link. Instead I’ll link where I got it from: https://filepursuit.com/ search for mikethetech



Yeah I started with a headless Ubuntu server and it was real nice. I’m finally ready to leave Ubuntu though and want to switch to a headless NixOS server.


Love caddy. Took a little bit for me to understand but it’s an amazing tool. I barely use a fraction of its capabilities.


Another vote for Fastmail. In my recent effort to degoogle I switched to Fastmail and I love it.


Hmmm. That sounds doable if i had windows haha. I run Linux so I can’t install the game on my desktop to try. Playing through Xbox game pass.


Yeah I’m on Xbox anyway. Guess I’m waiting for a patch lol. Hopefully some pc players are managing to fix it through console but as you said is no guarantee


Dang… that sucks. My two friends who play haven’t had it happen yet.


No such luck. Changing ships, changing parts, anything I’ve tried and it’s still glitched to me.


Can’t recall trying that. It’s updating now so gonna see if that helped if not I’ll try your suggestion thanks !


Dang nothing that gives me hope my issue will be fixed. I don feel like playing until then.

I have a ship attached to my ship so 3rd person flying is a no go. Even first person the ship clips into my view. Then when I land, random buildings have the ship inside them. It’s not solid so I can walk through but it’s really annoying. Hope it’s fixed so I can get back out to the stars!


See that’s going to be a problem. I have a friend named cunty and if I can’t call her cunty then it’s like what’s the point.

Silicon Valley: Cunty


Hey if you do decide to pursue finishing his Jellyfin library code you should definitely check out the discord. They have a channel for development.

Namely I saw a post from the dev back in February saying the reason he didn’t finish Jellyfin libraries, and still relies on Trakt, is because

Jellyfin doesn’t give out the IMDb ids of stored files easily.


Awesome stuff! If you do fork or PR for seamless Jellyfin integration let me know! That’d be awesome. I know he’s been super busy lately and hasn’t been able to update as much as he wants.


Hmmm. I don’t use radarr but this is how my workflow was for Jellyfin and jellyseerr

These are the steps from his GitHub but for my Jellyfin setup.

  1. Mount your real Debrid account via api token and rclone_RD. You know you did this right when you can browse the new realdebrid mounted directory and see all your shows and movies currently in your Debrid account.
  2. Setup Jellyfin as normal. Making sure to setup your libraries to use the Debrid mount. So tv shows and default for tv and movies and default for movies.
  3. Launch the plex Debrid main .py file and go through the configuration. Example:

First you choose a content service. Which for you would choose jellyseerr.

Next you need a library collection service (which might be the confusion) you do need to use either Trakt or Plex so that plex Debrid knows what you currently have in your library. Given you are doing a Jellyfin setup it’s prob best to use Trakt. Which means you need to hookup Trakt to your Jellyfin library so it knows what you already downloaded. If I’m remembering correctly this plugin is how I did this for Trakt + Jellyfin. https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-plugin-trakt

So now when you add a request via jellyseerr plex Debrid will first scan Trakt library to see if you already have it. If it doesn’t find it then it will push your request directly into your Debrid account after scraping for the best torrent.

Next step in the plex Debrid setup is library update service. Which you can set to Jellyfin. So that once real Debrid caches your torrent it will force a refresh of your full Jellyfin library to scan for new content.

Then there’s a few optional steps I’ll explain below but last important step is for **Debrid services ** which is when you’ll tell plex Debrid what your real Debrid account is via api key.

So full workflow would be request tv show or movie via jellyseerr, which check Trakt if you have it already and if not pushes it to torrentio to find a torrent for your request. Once found it uses your Debrid api key to automatically load the torrent into real Debrid. It will wait for Debrid to finish downloading and once complete it will refresh your jelly fin library and then you can watch it

To clarify , for my identical setup you wouldn’t be using radarr or black hole. The Debrid python script takes care of that for you.

That’s really it. The rest is optional to configure. library ignore service you can use a local ignore list or a Trakt library or local file and it knows what you’ve watched and doesn’t try to get it again.

Next optional step is scraper services I usually leave this as default which will scrape using torrentio.



Oh and because I’m recently learning to move over to NixOS (which comes prebuilt with packages for Jellyfin and jellyseerr) it has the default rclone but I’m compiling a NixOS package for his fork that I’ll push to the main repo when it’s done!


Yeah I’ve tried it with both plex and Jellyfin. Plex has a more seamless experience with discovering new shows and movies and adding to wish list to see it available instantly. Though as I go more FOSS, I think it’s time to move back to Jellyfin. With Jellyseerr to find and request new media. It’s all pretty simple!

I use it with docker along with his fork of rclone with realdebrid support also in docker. Works great! I’d say my biggest annoyance is sometimes realdebrid gets a weird title of a show or movie which doesn’t mix well with how his rclone fork works.

His fork uses regex to parse names and move them into either a movie or tv show directory. If it can’t decide which one it belongs to it goes to a default. Plex handles this better than Jellyfin from what I remember. You would add tv and default to tv library and movie and default to movie library. Jellyfin would get confused and there’s no way to rename it or move it. You just need to find a different torrent. You can customize the regex and scraping profiles and even integrate it with torrentio.

but exciting news! on august 27 he announced the beta update for his rclone fork that will allow renaming/moving files and folders. As well as creating new folders and deleting parts of torrents instead of the whole thing. This is huge and will make operating it through Jellyfin much easier and prevent the issue I mentioned.


Not sure if you use docker but I found this - https://github.com/hyperbunny77/RealDebridManager

I really like real Debrid but my preferred method is using https://github.com/itsToggle/plex_debrid I’ve been using this for a while now and it’s great.


Crazy this isn’t a federal law in the US. Thankfully the state I live in does it same as Canada but many states do not and it’s probably contributed to many overdoses.


Yeah they can try and push as much BS as they want but in the end I’m never using their software and always using a shield



Yes that should be totally possible. Only thing I can think of is making sure your IP is white listed for next cloud.


that self hosted itch…
Anyone else have it ? The more work I do setting things up like dockers, reverse proxies, single sign on, etc. the more I want to do it. But I’m running out of ideas of things to host that would actually benefit me. But I have that itch where I want more lol. So far I have the following: (EDIT: added descriptions for those who aren’t familar with all of it. ) 1. Caddy - use this primarily as a reverse proxy to access my applications via my domain and outside the house 2. Nextcloud - mainly using it for cloud storage but also some of their other apps likes decks and tasks as well as contacts and calendar. 3. Memos - simple note taking app similar to twitter but personal. 4. Miniflux - rss 5. Authentik - sso 6. Portainer - web view of dockers and status / health 7. KitchenOwl - groceries / recipe management 8. Actual - zero budgeting (like YNAB) 9. Firefly iii - finances management 10. Immich - images / iCloud replacement 11. Organizr (barely using it. Trying to think of more use cases) - dashboard of all my services 12. Speedtest - runs daily speed tests and monitors. 13. Plex - host my media library 14. Plex_Debrid / rclone - sync real Debrid with plex. 15. rsync to backup data to one onsite and one off site location. Automated backups 16. Watchtower automated docker updates 17. Home Assistant - home automation 18. Home bridge - Apple home automation 19. Zigbee2mqtt - manage zigbee smart home devices 20. Unifi controller - manage my network I think that’s everything! Edit: Thanks for the overwhelming responses! I really appreciate everyone with their opinions. First things first I did get borg setup for both my server and my desktop so thats awesome! I am waiting for response from my backup server admin if they can install rdiff-backup for me so I can utilize that as well for my cloud backups. Going to take a look at a few other of the many suggestions here! More than a few I like!

cloudflare r2
I been trying to get cloudflare r2 to work with my memos docker. It’s all configured as per the instructions yet it seems my notes aren’t saving there since my r2 is empty I did map my r2 to next cloud as well with the goal of sharing notes between Nextcloud and memos. But since r2 is empty it’s not working.

RSS feeds
Wasn’t sure where to ask this but figured people here host their own rss platforms. I just started with miniflux. Between that and reeder it makes RSS nice and easy. My issue is that until the 3rd party Reddit nonsense, i let Reddit monopolize my information gathering. To the point I don’t know where else to get info from. Like which websites I can trust that aren’t just bad forms of marketing. Forums and things like that. I don’t know any of them because I spent all my time with Reddit. Anyone have ideas or suggestions of good rss feeds for people who are interested in tech and programming and gaming and whatnot Edit: thanks for all the great suggestions. I’m building up a nice RSS stream.

Real-Debrid down
Looks like real-debrid down for electrical issues on-site. It also looks like elon turned off twitter from the public again as I Cannot check their twitter page without signing in. Fuck elon.
