Hey all :) how you doing?

I have seen a few post here about how to keep track of them and I kinda bookmarked it but I seems I'm not able to find them back...

It's getting hard to keep track of my presence on all of them and I wished there was and easy and neat interface.

I have multiple trackers in 3 different language (FR, DE, EN).

Has anyone a good solution or a docker service that's upto date? I don't care if it's AI generated, as long as it's tested and works :)

Thank you !!

Long story short... My mum got diagnosed with cancer.

I'm already a plant advocate for their healing properties (EOs, tinctures, teas....) and did had my fair share of good/bad/enlightened moments with Cannabis/Shrooms.

I know this would probably ease her anxiety (or worst raise her anxiety) and other symptoms with Chemo, but I'm looking for any info if I can actually prevent it.

Are there any actual serious studies/books ? I mean, the system can't be trusted... How many times have we been fooled by our states/governments/system ? And The dead Internet just spits out some random ai generated blog... It gets seriously difficult to actually find serious stuff.

So if anyone here has some kind of hidden community/forum/I2P address to get a more appropriate discussion board about cannabis and it's healing properties I would really appreciate some kind of guidance where to dig through to help my Mom out in a more sensible and peaceful way !

And No, I'm not looking for a Tor Market ! I Know where to get my stuff :)

Just wanted to share my feelings about the arr* stack, will keep it short !

First, thanks to all those beautiful people giving their free time to work on all thoses services ❤️ !

At first I wasn't that impressed and didn't understood all the hype arround all thoses services and only used sonarr to rename my files I had manually imported. It did a great job as a file renamer service, however I was still managing everything manually from hard links to qbittorrent organization creating in the end a total messed up file system with a lot of duplicated hardlinks and files scattered in different directories, renamed differently, etc.....

Also, after the most known french piracy tracker had been hacked and shut down (finally !), a lot of new trackers opened like wildfire and had over 10 trackers to keep an eye on. Searching the web, I came across Prowlarr and seeing how It connects directly to sonarr I got curious.

That's the exact moment when I finally unsterstood what's all the hype about the ARR stack ! My god, what an amazing piece of software stack...

First came jellyfin, sonaar, then prowlarr, radarr, seerr and now I discovered profilarr. It's amazing to see how everything perfectly communicates with each part of the stack and everything is perfeclty automated and god does it work well... I'm impressed and still baffled how something so good is free and open source !!

Im still scratching the surface of this powerfull stack, but does it feel good to just ask seerr and after a few minutes having my media perfectly organized in qbittorrent, filesystem directories, renaming scheme, hardlinks, quality profiles, config synchronization......... 💥🤯

It does have it's own quirks right and there, and can become kinda weird if you do not know what you are doing (thanks Trash guides ❤️❤️) and seeing from all the issues the arr stack seems to hit a wall with the current code implementation. But IDK, i'm not a programmer so I may be wrong here.

And there seems always something new to complement the arr stack !

So that's it :) Just wanted to share my feeling and appreciation with all of you ! Happy self-hosting !!

Is there some hidden pronounciation rule I'm not aware of? And why do we say F.B.I and not FBI or U.S.B and not USB ?

I know it seems a really silly question seeing the actual situation with the ICE eveywhere on the news... But this really bothers me on why people yell ICE when it's actually the I.C.E :/.

Hello everyone :)

My Linux learning and Homelab setup is going smoothly and after a long period of stagnation, I'm in a new learning curve :D ! I just learned the magic of hard links and implemented them with bind mounts (yeah hard links only work on the same file system :P) to my Qbittorrent scripting to automagically move them as hard links to a bind mount accessible to Sonarr, Radarr, Jellyfin... and move, rename and do all other things without even touching the original files: PUR MAGIC !

Everything is a file? Naah, everything is a hard link ! (Or inode? xD)

While I'm overjoyed I learned and have a better understanding of files, hard links, soft links, file system, docker, web, all kind of things related to IT... I'm getting kinda overwhelmed of what's happening on my system !!

• I have a dozen docker compose on my server, all behind traefik resolved by my piHole DNS on a raspberry pi, some have a custom image made by myself for certificate purpose or some manual changes I added.

• I have some .config files in my ~/ to improve my micro experience and make it more integrated over SSH with my Mac and Desktop. If also have some config files in my /root directory for my miniCA for all my service with my personal local domain name and other config files like /etc/bash_aliases and some changes in /etc/bash.bashrc

• I have some python .venv for learning and scripting with python

• I have a complex and long bash script backup for all my docker containers to back up my volumes, config files and media files separately

• Installed some useful and needed packages like resolvconf, wireguard, samba...

• I have a few samba shares, all accessible in my LAN with sometimes some exotic configuration for Mac integration

• My docker containers have some bind mounts shared volumes

[....]

And now I also have some hard links lying around in the mix ! So I have to say it out loud: I'm OVERWHELMED !

Yes, I do keep some notes in Obsidian and also have a self-hosted Forgejo to keep my notes updated and have some kind of version control of changes in my scripts, but I do feel like I'm not sure anymore what I have... Not to say I didn't mention all the other stuff related to my phone (baikal, ntfy....) or how to keep everything updated (WUD does the trick for containers :)) and tidy...

I guess I'm looking for something magic, something that could In ONE blink give me what's doing what and where? And changes my life for an ever-growing IT space ? Preference something visual...?

I hope to hear from you guys on what I can do to take away this feel of being lost and not being able to fully track my systems and my LAN !

Thank you !

I guess using LVM on an old raspberry pi 3B+ was not the smartest idea :/ ! As expected the pi 3b+ can handle qbittorrent and piHole without to much load average...

After switching from LVM+EXT4 to a single EXT4 partition, I can download, check file integrity and resolve DNS at the same time without my dns resolution hanging !

Solution:

• Install piHoleOS on a simpler filesystem without LVM (ext4)
• Take qbittorrent out of docker and install it barebone on the device (qbittorrent-nox)

Hello :))

I'm relatively new to the pi and all the ecosystem (ARM, SBC...) and I'm kinda intrigued on what's happening here if someone has some info to share.

I generally work on debian for my server stuff but found an old never used RPi 3B+ in one of my boxes. Installed RPi OS lite based on debian bookworm and docker with the pihole container as DNS server for my home network.

Works great and does hold all my DNS requests without issues. However, yesterday I migrated my qbittorrent stuff (mostly linux ISO 😅) on the RPi, on an external HDD over USB.

While uploading works fine without issues for +/- 100 torrent files, when downloading OR checking the files integrity the RPi is chocking really hard making the DNS request slowdown and even unresponsive...

I did some search and from my findings the USB is a hard bottleneck for file transfer on the pi 3b+ and qbittorrent in a container adds alot of overheat too, so I checked and moved everything out of the container and installed qbittorrent-nox which does improve the situation but it still makes the DNS request on pihole impossible when downloading or checking file integrity.

I this some kind of bug, known issue? RPi is cool stuff but If it can't hold or stand a medium hungry service, that's kinda a bummer... It's not doing that much of work, It's just resolving DNS and downloading a file over the torrent protocol.

Somone similar issue, observation, insight or solution? Or is the pi not meant to hold a torrenting service?

Hello everyone !

I'm seeding/cross-post this in 3 communities because I think I will get better answers in each respective one (Hardware, coding, electronics).

As the title say I'm want to learn to build from the ground up those cheap solar led/optic fiber lightning, here some images to get what I mean:

They come in bundles but after awhile they just die out without repair ability which kinda sucks and because they are cheap my mum keeps buying them... So, I would like to build ones I'm able to repair and customize :). However I have absolutely NO idea where to begin and what exactly I'm searching for... I'm lacking the skills and knowledge on the 3 fronts !

• What hardware I'm looking for ?
• What kind of electronics ?
• What programming language to glue everything together?
• .... ?

I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty and learn how to micro-solder, learn some coding skills to get everything neatly glued together software wise, learn the necessary hardware or other important and necessary stuff to achieve this goal ! I'm looking for every good and reliable advice to get me started !

One thing though, If i have to learn some hardware/low level coding skills I would prefer a language that would be useful for other stuff in the long run.

Thank you in advance and I'm already sorry if I'm very slow to respond, I'm not native and the flood amount of information I will probably get, will surpass my ability to respond to everyone right away.

Also every other directions are welcome, like:

• how to repair the old ones? Do I need to flash their proprietary software/hardware?

Thank you !
