Why use one when you can use 6

That does look about right. I’ll spin up a container and give it a shot when I’ve got a bit of free time.

Thanks!

I’ve been using Ombi for a while now.

It’s an http web app that can run in a container or bare metal, that interfaces nicely with plex/emby/jellyfin, the arrs, and a number of different notification platforms (I just use smtp). Users can be created directly in Ombi, or automatically imported from plex/emby/jellyfin (auth is then handled by the respective service so users use the same credentials for both).

Users can request new content within specified daily/weekly/monthly limits, view the status of their requests, and report issues with existing content. Requests will be sent to an admin for approval, or individual users can have ‘auto approve’ enabled for movies, episodes, and/or music. It also provides a nice ‘discover’ page listing a bunch of genres to look through along with ‘popular’, ‘trending’, and ‘upcoming’ lists of shows/movies.

Mayorkas said […] that he’s “alarmed” by the “heroism that is being attributed to an alleged murderer of a father of two children on the streets in New York City,”

Luigi is a hero. Brian Thompson got what he deserved, and his children are better off without him.

he noted that “that’s the actions of an individual, not reflective of the American public and of the democracy in which we live.”

I guess we’ll just need some more examples. Seems to be comming back into fashion.

Hence the deletion.

could someone actually hide their way out of something like this?

If you mean the resulting failure to attend/contempt of court charges:

It would very much depend on the totality of the circumstances. If the defendant is genuinely unaware of the case against them, they aren’t really hiding from anything. The court has simply been unable to locate their suspect.

When/if the defendant is eventually located; it would be up to the court to determine if they had been sufficiently notified, and they’d have opportunity defend themselves by explaining where they’ve been and why the court hadn’t been able to notify them.

If you mean hide your way out of whatever the original charge that had you summoned to court was, then no; you’re just delaying the inevitable and potentially risking further charges. or you’re just permanently fleeing to a country that doesn’t extradite to where ever you’re from…

Especially with him openly bragging about avoiding the court… He clearly knows about the suit; physically handing him the paperwork is an unnecessary formality at this point.

You got several TLDRs

Here’s a longer play by play, with most of the details, if your interested:

I had call recording on my Samsung devices for years, up until the beginning of last year when they broke all the third party recording apps…

It would be really nice to have that back.

…also if GoFundMe takes a page down, what happens to the funds already donated?

Automatic refunds. Something something ‘donor protection program’… That’s also in their terms.

/edit:

People who contribute to these accounts won’t lose their money—GoFundMe’s giving guarantee ensures donors a full refund in case of misuse or other problems with a fundraiser.

GoFundMe’s terms and conditions, however, are pretty clear. Users agree they will not use the platform for, among other things “the legal defense of financial and violent crimes, including those related to money laundering, murder, robbery, assault, battery, sex crimes, or crimes against minors.”

Lots of suggestions for MKVToolNix, but I prefer automated solutions:

Tdarr is a highly configurable automated conversion tool. You can use it to just remove extra video audio or subtitle streams, change containers, transcode streams into different codecs, or all of the above.

I’ve got it set to automatically convert all media that gets added to my libraries into hevc/mkv while stripping out extra audio/subtitle tracks. This leaves me with less clutter and 30-40% smaller file sizes.

As a note: while UDP is preferable for stability/power usage, UDP VPN traffic is often blocked by corporate firewalls (work, public free wifi, etc) and won’t connect at all. I run OpenVPN using TCP on a standard port like 80/443/22/etc to get through this, disguised as any other TLS connection.

I run nightly archiving backups using Borg Backup.

It’s compression + de-duplication algorithms have me able to store 18 historical backups of about 422gb ea, in only 367gb of disk space.

That then gets mirrored to a cold storage drive manually every few months.

The playlist for that series :)

AFAIK, it’s never made it out to the public unfortunately.

Seems to be a tool for taking an image and Geo-locating it, even in cases where other sources of data like Googles street map cars are insufficient.
