To expand upon that, I had something similar to the OP’s setup at one point, and I found things worked a lot better when the files could be moved on the same volume, rather than appearing as separate volumes (because they were mounted separately). I ended up re-engineering my whole setup for that and it’s much faster now.

As for duplicates… I assume this is so you can continue seeding after the file has been moved? I can’t think of anything that would fit the bill for that off the top of my head. Ideally, I think you’d want QBT to just start serving from the new location instead, though I admit hard links does sound like a solution that could work.

And after Googling, it seems like it already does hard links for torrents for this exact reason. I think if you just map /media (and drop the 2 maps you have after that) things will work like you want.

“round file” is a cute name for a garbage can.

It used to be 12 months, and I was so mad at that that I stopped subscribing, used all my credits, and basically never went back. I won’t even consider subscribing again so long as things I pay for don’t continue to be mine. I paid for the those credits, and they should be there forever until I use them. If they don’t like that, they should give my money back instead.

Weird. I just found out about the Warp Terminal today, and now this seems somewhat similar. Weird coincidence.

Yeah, I think it’s pretty interesting. I’m a little worried about how long you have to hold them, how quickly they can be used, and how often they interfere with typing very fast. I think those things would interfere with each other, and I’d quickly find it annoying.

Legit?

If you’re only watching on 1 TV, I don’t think there’s any reason to keep them a separate 4k library. And if your server can handle transcoding easily, there’s still not much reason.

If you have an often-used second (or third, etc) TV with lower resolution and your server doesn’t handle transcoding well, then it’s probably worth keeping them separate.

I’ve also started to disagree with the guide about file size. I don’t think I can tell the difference, and I’m not trying to preserve media for the future. So long as the video has the features I want, I think just about any file size is fine.

I turned on the video upscaling initially when I got mine, and then turned it off immediately and left it off. I hated it. I would rather watch 1080 native than upscale it.

Like you, I don’t see that setting, and only see the one you see. I don’t think it exists. I think they just had it backwards.

It makes no sense to delete movie files when clicking unmonitor.

I wish that was a panacea. If you work remotely, but they require you to be available via some messenger, they can and will interrupt you just as much as if you were in a physical office with a door.

This seems to be the same article.

I have my doubts about the technique, but it could be useful in certain controlled situations.

Even if you release multiple times every day, refusing to release on Friday still makes sense. It’s not about expecting bugs, it’s about guaranteeing that your devs’ time is their own. If you aren’t okay with paying your devs for time they spend dealing with their own problems at home (without charging them their PTO time for it!) then you shouldn’t be okay with making them work on weekends, no matter how rare it is.

I voted you up, but this is tough. I write tests at work when they’ll help me, but nobody else maintains or creates them. Except for the tests that the boss created and insists that everyone run.

I haven’t pushed terribly hard for my tests, but it’s pretty obvious that I wouldn’t get any traction if I did, and I’m picking my battles.

So while I agree with “write your tests anyhow”, it’s a lot harder than it sounds, and a lot less successful than a proper testing strategy that’s embraced by the team.

I don’t see Watchtower in there anywhere. Even just used as a simple on-demand updater, it’s worth the time to set it up. (Which is pretty minimal anyhow.) But it can also just run automatically and keep things up to date all the time.

Most good clients should start seeding from an existing file if you find the original torrent on the web somewhere. Or even one that just has that same file in it.

I bought one recently for 4k BRs. It’s awful, even though I bought one of the highest-recommended ones. They’re still slow, lose your place, and generally suck. And if there’s any dirt on the disc, you’ve got a major problem, no matter how small the smudge.

And that isn’t even counting the problems with the format, such as unskippable intros and copyright notices.

Ripped media is so, so superior that it’s absolutely ridiculous.

I’ve noticed this, too, with both video and audio. It’s ridiculous.

Yeah, I didn’t watch the video, but my first thought was “no, that’s just FAANG”. Plenty of smaller companies hire entry level developers.

Unfortunately, I think “local” is the best word usually, just not when also talking about computers. I’ve tried to think of an alternative and haven’t come up with one. I think you need a phrase like “music from local artists” or something.

I don’t usually torrent, but I just looked at recent eps from Usenet and it looks like the majority is 1080p max. 4k exist, but tend to be from streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, HBO, or AppleTV it seems.

I find NZBFinder to be a decent usenet indexer for free, so maybe take a look on there for the shows you’re wanting and see if they’re even out there. It could be they just aren’t available at all.

It sounds interesting, but… Android only? I don’t actually watch much video on my phone. It’s mostly on my desktop browser.

I’m thinking that either the OP doesn’t want to directly admit to it, or they pirate so much music that they don’t remember where it came from. ;)

I’m pretty sure they mean upload doesn’t go over 50mbps here. We have pretty easy access to 1gbps download in tons of places, especially cities. But high upload is pretty hard to come by without a business line.
