I'm intrigued, as your recent comment history keeps taking aim at Proxmox. What did you find questionable about them? My servers boot just fine, and I haven't had any failures.

I'm not uninterested in genuinely better alternatives, but I don't have a compelling reason to go to the level of effort required to replace Proxmox.

No headaches here - running a two node cluster with about 40 LXCs, many of them using Docker, and an OPNsense VM. It's been flawless for me.

Might be time to look into Proxmox. There's a fun weekend project for you!

Not necessarily, and I tend to find VLC is still the better media player.

I was sharing more for the interest of those that were using the original Simple Mobile variant, and were waiting for the forked version to be released.

Yeah - it's pretty capable, actually. Regexes and stuff, to make sure you get the exact APK you want.

I use Obtainium to install directly from the repo.

Patience, sung by Chris Cornell. Makes me want to cry that I'll never hear anything new from this incredible singer even again.

Also, Johnny Cash's cover of NIN's Hurt.

For now, The Archive is shutdown. It's uncertain if it's coming back but, if anyone here is on their Discord, please share what you know.

There's quite a lot of Curiosity Show clips on YT, with more being added all the time. Brings back great memories...

My daughter is 9yo, and well and truly no longer watching Bluey. But I still download it...

All of Mr Inbetween is incredibly good. It's just a shame they stopped at three seasons. And hat off to Fox for actually making some good Aussie content for once.

Ah, I forgot Power Without Glory. Good memory!

Ones I already have:

• Acropolis Now
• Bush Tucker Man
• Kingswood Country (missing 15 eps)
• Mother and Son (the original, not the shithouse remake)
• Rake
• The Hollowmen (only have shitty DVD rips, would love something better)

Ones I want, but haven't started looking for:

• Stingers
• The Late Show
• Hey Hey
• Full Frontal
• Fast Forward
• Comedy Company
• The Big Gig
• Good News Week
• Front Line
• Russell Coight's All Aussie Adventures (I have the 2018 eps - not the early 2000s ones)
• All Together Now

Ones I enjoyed, but am on the fence about committing storage space to:

• Kath and Kim
• Caron's Law
• The Sullivans
• Blue Heelers
• Rafferty's Rules
• Cop Shop

Bloody loved Water Rats! Aaron Pedersen was fantastic.

Am also a boring, (getting) old white bloke: is something like "rainbow folk" not appropriate?

I know the Wear It Purple day organisers refer to kids who are questioning/curious as "rainbow kids" (at least, that's what a trans coworker told me they called them).

Edit: honestly, it'd just be nice if we didn't have to label people at all. Y'know - everyone's a human deserving of dignity and respect, no matter where they come from, how they look, what they believe in, and who they love.

But, again, I get that I'm a boring old white bloke, and it's probably a lot easier for me to say this than it is for those folks who feel oppressed/suppressed in some way. I just wish it weren't the case.

Yep, 100% the same. Hate it. It's no biggie for me, though - I'm really the only one who wants 4K content, and I only want it for the stuff that really matters to me.

I have kids that like to stream on their own devices, and they're not all 4K. Saves my server from overworking itself by not having to transcode.

If you’re only watching on 1 TV, I don’t think there’s any reason to keep them a separate 4k library

The only problem is that Radarr doesn't support multiple copies/editions. You need to run two Radarr instances.

Yes - I have two separate instances of Radarr, each storing their movies in dedicated top-level folders ("Movies" and "Movies-4k").

Overseerr is used to manage requests, with all 1080p requests being automatically approved, and 4K requests requiring my approval (so I can be frugal with NAS space).

Plex merges both folders into a single Movies library, where I can play either resolution of a given movie (assuming both resolutions exist).

Nice try, Agent Smith.
