These files appear as images but they could be zip files that get combined in memory and decompressed into the file. Try finagling the filetypes and see what you find
You could use a flash boot drive to make a disk image of your deck right now as it is and then restore that image when you receive your refurb.
Not sure how well it would work but something like Hiren's Boot CD comes with a large number of utilities. I used it recently to make an image of my boot SSD to restore to if I didn't like the distro I was trying.
If you're looking to save money, you can use an Xbox or PS controller if you have one laying around. I used one for OpenMW for a long time and it worked really well.
I don't have a recommendation beyond that, though.
Hardware doesn't matter except for raw disk space, since you'd be storing the files yourself.
I use Docker Desktop, Portainer, and docker-compose stacks to run everything. The whole thing will take maybe 1.5 GB RAM and a little bit of CPU. I ran the whole setup from a raspberry pi for a while.
Plex allows you to host your own media and will match filenames to metadata. You point it to the folders for your movies and TV and it'll start searching through and adding them to your Plex server as streamable media.
There are ways to automate the searching and downloading of your desired movies and TV. Pair it with Plex and you have your own personalized streaming platform with just what you want to see.
If you need some help on where to begin, msg me. I can get you up and running in under an hour, so long as you have a working computer with some hard drive space (or a portable HDD).
Edit: that goes for anyone else who needs help setting up as well.
Synology is generally a great option if you can afford the premium.
Unraid is a good alternative for the poor man. Check this list of cases to build in. I personally have a Fractal R5 which can support up to 13 HDD slots.
Unraid is generally a better bang for your buck imo. It's got great support from the community.
That's what I've done for now. I have a 30 mbps upload speed from my provider so I've limited qBit to 1 MB/s to give plenty of room for outbound streams.
It just seems like a waste of bandwidth if I have it capped at all times.
Prowlarr allows you to add as many trackers as you want. It supports torrent and Usenet sites, public or private.
You can give it a single search query and it'll search all viable sources simultaneously and return a compiled list of everything it finds.
You can also direct it to your arr programs like Sonarr and Radarr. Prowlarr will add its indexers to your other apps so they can utilize its search capabilities.
Haha I wish I had climbed it the second time. It was crystal clear.
The first time I hiked it, it took us around 14 hours total because of the storm. I almost cried when I saw the noodle shop at the base of the Gotemba trail after almost 6 hours of walking down in scree. My quads were about to fall off my bones.
I climbed Mt Fuji. It was pretty cool. 3,776 meters / 12,388 ft.
I brought a pulse oximeter out of curiosity. 98% SPO2 at the little base town where we were dropped off. 82% at one of the stops, compared to 95% of the woman working inside. 71% at the peak.
The peak was terrifying. I went up the Yoshida trail and down the Gotemba trail. The Yoshida trail is most populated. Plenty of people hiking and little stops up the trail that will brand your hiking stick for a few hundred yen each ($1-3).
Once at the peak, we had to walk around at the top through a storm to find the Gotemba trail. The storm was brutally cold. I remember there was a guy wearing his girlfriend's dress cus it was the only dry clothes they had while trying to take shelter.
The clouds lingered the rest of the way down. It was insanely foggy.
Overall it was cool. I had the chance to hike it again the next year and opted out.
