XanXic, to technology in Gamers nexus on LTT

As someone who’s been running unRAID out of a tower and like 5 drives; it’s weird watching like four people who are definitely more tech savvy than me just bumble fuck their way through all this server stuff with enterprise level gear. Like I do more research for myself and I’m not jumping on video. Ultimately I like the videos, I enjoy seeing the approaches, but they try to come off like authority figures. Then they don’t even know how to properly parity swap and make unRAID look harder than it is.

XanXic, to selfhosted in Reiverr: A clean UI for Jellyfin, TMDB, Sonarr and Radarr, as well as a replacement to Overseerr

Yeah I wish there was a setting that’s like if it’s released in the last two years just grab it. I always have an issue with my peeps wanting old stuff. Like my uncle was like that and I let his shows auto approve but then he asked for some show from 2019 with 8 seasons and it grabbed like 200gbs of shows in a few hours and I was like “nope, no more”

I don’t think so, but I’ve never had someone do that on the old system. They always want all 16 seasons of some old show lol. Drives me crazy. My brother asks for a show every two weeks and be like where are they? And I’ll respond with the like last 12 shows he asked for with zero watch time from tautilli

Yeah I’ve been trying to cut out the middle man. My family isn’t technically proficient and I found just having it sync straight to Sonarr and Radarr was saving me a step since I always have them open and already have them accessible on my website. Since TV shows was the only thing I don’t have auto approve it just made the decision on letting it search or going out and manually finding a pack happen at the point that matters to me.

But yeah I still have the request site up but thinking of taking it down because I still have some issues pop up and less moving parts is better for me.

It’s also a plus for me because I use NZB360 to manage everything on my phone which is much better with Sonarr and Radarr

Fwiw there’s a new feature in Plex you have to opt into but the Sonarr and Radarr devs figured out how to use it. So you can make it so things people add to their watchlist on Plex get sent to the 'arrs. Like I have it auto add movies and search for them with the typical profile and then add TV shows unmonitored and send me a text message.

Really simplifies everything. Like now my grandma doesn’t have to go to a website and stuff. Since even if you turn off the free TV spam the search function will still return things you don’t have and let you naturally add it to your watchlist and even put it in a recently added bar on the watchlist page when it’s there.

XanXic, to fediverse in Lemmy is popular nowadays, yet is losing its active users

Not sure what you mean, this is what sync looks like for me on a big screen. Hardly tablet friendly.

Connect looks much better for me

Connect for Lemmy is basically Sync free. It’s got the same swipe gestures and everything. I’m not sure what people are so blown away by.

XanXic, to moviesandtv in ‘City On Fire’ Canceled By Apple After One Season

I like it. It’s a pretty strong show from a “what the heck is going to happen” pov. Idk if that’s been exaggerated because I watched it week to week but it is a solid show for sure. Its certainly better than Silo was. I still think For All Mankind is the best show show on Apple TV (Ted Lasso aside lol) though. Foundation is really good but some of the moments that drag REALLY drag. I’d love if it was almost exclusively about Lee Pace and his dynasty lol

XanXic, to sciencefiction in Your thoughts on The Orville?

All I could think with how forced Charly was as a character was like is this a producers wife or girlfriend or something? I never looked into it, but I’ve never seen a show introduce a new character and focus on them so hard, even to the detriment of OG cast members, before. Like they pivoted to the Charly show. Some of the plots were good like her prejudice towards Isaac’s race but like why did she get introduced and become the main character in one season? Lol

XanXic, to sciencefiction in Your thoughts on The Orville?

I feel like the humor has taken a massive backseat since like near the end of season 1. It definitely was a parady at first with some hit or miss jokes but the humor feels a lot more natural in recent seasons. Imo

XanXic, (edited ) to moviesandtv in ‘City On Fire’ Canceled By Apple After One Season

I say this as someone who’s chronically watching new shows, I’ve never even heard of this. So that’s probably part of the problem. Like, after a conversation with someone I realized I’m watching like 12 shows week to week. I’m caught up on Hijack and saw Silo.

Point being, the fact I saw no word of mouth or marketing probably makes it obvious to me why whatever this show is failed lol. I was curious if it was good reading the article until it said it ends in a cliffhanger. So no reason to watch lmao

XanXic, to reddit in The Reddit Protest Is Finally Over. Reddit Won.

Not sure if you only posted on the mainsubs or what but Reddit really did hit that “hyper specific topic conversation” for me. Like up to the protests I could make a meme about a topic or reply to a post and have good discussions. When I deleted all my posts I deleted some of the top of all time posts off some subs lol.

Lemmy still hasnt hit that for me, I’m another in a swarm of people saying Lemmy doesn’t fulfill my topic based sub needs. Like I’m currently obsessed with Marvel Snap and loved the subreddit. The lemmy version is dead af. And I try to converse and interact but none of the lemmy filters for posts seem to show the posts reliably to me and I have to remember to go check it. The Spider-Man PS4 sub was another favorite of mine to interact with and I ended up having to make it for Lemmy and it’s got like 80 subscribers and I make a point to comment on every post but it’s still not getting much conversation going 😞

XanXic, to games in After Work Gaming: What games do you enjoy mostly after a day of work?

I’d recommend Pocket City 2 for mobile. Probably the best casual city sim game I’ve ever played. It’s like $5 maybe less and has no monetization stuff after that.

And the game has like the ability to walk around, drive cars and do activities as your avatar inside the city. It’s new so the dev is still adding stuff. But it’s wild to spend an hour setting up a nice district than race through it with an F1 car for money later.

10/10

XanXic, to technology in Reddit is testing verification labels for brands

Then that will get screenshotted and posted on r/wholesome r/wholesomememes and r/mademesmile then make the rounds there forever.

XanXic, to nostupidquestions in Do people just not use the YouTube subscription feed?

YouTube tested an opt in feed on a group like the how the bell has like a sometimes notify mode to curate the subscription page but quickly canned that. It’s like at that point wtf does subscribing even do.
