There’s always Charity Navigator, they rate charities based on financial health and accountability, at least. I’ve not heard any controversy with it, for what it’s worth

How tested are the proprietary protocols for data safety?

To the point where a lot of gamers have paid for more games than they’d ever have time to play.

Great point about paid plans. I didn’t look closely at the project today - they didn’t have any paid plans when I was first trying it in 2020 (and ultimately decided downloading the preferred source was good enough and abandoned trans-coding).

This is a more script based solution I’ve tried in the past for ongoing ISOs with decent results. Good luck!

I’m pretty certain the two options I can think of are just front-ends for ffmpeg: Handbrake and Tdarr, Tdarr runs as a service and monitors your folder for things that don’t match spec and then converts them, if you plan to continue acquiring ISOs.

It is, but there are some barriers not present on a *nix OS. Docker runs on the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) as a prerequisite.

Ha, Rentals on Plex sure didn’t evoke their intended reaction from me. Agreed on the Verge article, too. Thanks for sharing!

the hacker obtained and used the member’s credentials to authenticate the requests to the server as a member library.

Hacking is the act of breaking into a computer system without authorization or exceeding authorized access.

This part could be hacking. Not that I care and think this is frivolous.

requiring around-the-clock efforts from November 2022 to March 2023 to attempt to limit service outages and maintain the production systems’ performance for customers.

Doesn’t major hosting require 24/7 monitoring anyway? Like they should have been doing this for more than just 11/22 to 3/23.

Github is really a great piracy bro.

It’s not just the prices, people are lazy.

Or they just demand good value for their service. Netflix hugely curtailed piracy in their early days. Same with Valve’s Steam.

Awesome to see, good luck to you!

If you’re looking for tips, I’d try to set up Prowlarr first if you intend to use it, it’ll save some reconfiguration down the line.

Though I don’t find anything as complex as mounting and permissions in the *arrs, haha.

But my favorite part about tinkering with home servers is just learning a little at a time, expanding naturally. It’s easy to find guides that are the “ultimate, best server configs”, but unless you understand what benefits they’re offering, you can’t really determine what fits best for YOUR needs.

I started with CouchPotato on Windows years ago and now have *arrs running through docker on headless boxes and keep adding on fun services.

I just bought a few 18tb from serverpartsdeals (via eBay) and they’re working well for now. YMMV of course.

kill -9

Just tested, thanks for the suggestion! It killed a few instances of rsync, but there are two apparently stuck open. I issued reboot and the system seemed to hang while waiting for rsync to be killed and failed to unmount the zpool.

I believe there’s another issue. ZFS has been using nearly all RAM (which is fine, I only need RAM for system and ZFS anyway, there’s nothing else running on this box), but I was pretty convinced while I was looking that I don’t have dedup turned on. Thanks for your suggestions and links!

I did, great suggestion. It never recovered.

Thank you! I ended up connecting them directly to the main board and had the same result with rsync, eventually the zpool becomes inaccessible until reboot (ofc there may be other ways to recover it without reboot).

Awesome, thanks for giving some clues. It’s a new build, but I didn’t focus hugely on RAM, I think it’s only 32GB. I’ll try this out.

Edit: I did some reading about L2ARC, so pending some of these tests, I’m planning to get up to 64gb ram and then extend with an l2arc SSD, assuming no other hardware errors.

I used to rock out to Quake II late into the night.
