It's crazy how, at this point, my Game Pass Ultimate 3 year (and now 3 years extended) subscription has yielded so little first party exclusives as originally planned. There is zero compelling reason to renew at this time. What a comedy of bullshit it's been. Thankfully Phil will retain his job and likely continue to receive bonus shares. That's what really matters after all.
On the flip side, I appreciate them letting Obsidian cook. That team deserves it.
The question is, does the responsibility fall on you to choose games that fit your skill level or the developer to compromise their vision to accomodate a broader audience? Would we take the same stance with other art? I find a lot of Foreign Arthouse Films to be slow paced and unenjoyable. Should the writers and directors be required to make an alternate cut to accomodate my preferences?
Yeah, this is incredibly fucked. I truly wonder if we could have taken control of our privacy and data collection at any point along the way and had a more informed consumer.
It still brings me back to the early days of the internet when you never told anyone your name and certainly didn't give companies anything more than they needed to send you products.
Unfortunately, I think they have gotten addicted to the blood and we will never be able to stop it at this point.
I may see how easy that is to set up. I noted above though, I've been learning the *arr stack piece by piece. And it never seems to quite work the way that I'm expecting it to so doing local recodes ends up being a more viable solution for me since I have a shit ton of processing power and limited time to read through things like trashes guide.
Thank you for the suggestion though. Maybe if I get some time in the coming month to dig into my settings I'll give that a shot. It would be cool to automate the recovery process that way.
I'd imagine there's a way to set that up with the *arrs but my personal path of less resistance is to just recode what I got rather than figure a process to redownlod out. There's is more resources than time at my disposal currently.
I keep everything in a 10u rack in my garage so it doesn't bother us much. That said, when it was in my office being configured, it was quieter than my desktop running a 5900x and 3080.
By design, NUC's are super quiet and the jbods I'm using are cooled with 2 140mm fans running at about 50% most of the time.
Worth noting, I've been a metal fan and musician most of my life so my sensitivity isn't very high compared to a lot of others.
Awesome. Thanks for the info. I have been running Plex for years and started the switch to Jellyfin last year. Have a container running Emby but haven't put any work in to configuring or much yet.
Same situation with Tdarr. Threw together a quick container and got caught up in a billion other projects. I have an old 3600x / 1080ti system I'll likely use as a transcoding node. Just need to go over the docs and figure out how to setup input / output paths.
Overall it's (currently) a couple jbods plugged in to a NUC. Total draw is at 81W currently. That's based off of a quick remote check on my UPS.
That's a Ubiquiti Dream Machine Pro, Modem, Ubiquiti U7 Pro, 2 - 6 disc jbods running Seagate exos 20tb, and the NUC.
There's a secondary drive array but it only powers on once a week for a few hours to run backups/differentials. Even under that load I don't really spike above 100W.
Compared to the draw my old full rack with a couple loaded up r210's has, this is incredibly efficient.
The majority of my stack as well as vehicles run off renewables / solar. So it's hard to tell.
May seem like some massive library but it has been accumulated over 25 or so years and is composed of a shit ton of physical rips from a pretty extensive library of everything from VHS and vinyl to uhd..
What's your process for recoding? I'm nearing 120tb used space and would like to re-encode some of the stuff my *arr stack grabbed before I got my profiles tuned in.
It's weird that you make that comparison. I have been an avid 2fort fan since og TF and feel like that map at least had some breathing room to get away from the constant grenades spam and chaos. It might not have been much but there was at least a chance to stop for a split second and figure out what the hell is going on.
I think being able to choose whether I wanted to jump into a 24/7 2fort server or not also helped with the feeling of "this map is trash why are we even here" less than it does in modern games where you only have skill-based matchmaking and voting based upon randos.
I love a good 2fort battle with people I know and have been playing with for years.

It's probably the autism.
