Sonarr + Picard

Do you mean Lidarr? Sonarr is the TV one (confusingly).

Sigh deeply, rub their foreheads, and open their wallets.

WHEN YOU SEE THE WHITE WHALE

I use a Pi running LibreElec and it can be controlled by my LG TV down the HDMI cable. It’s the CEC protocol. Look into that.

And no ads. I do want them to succeed, but, yeah.

They added the charge limit feature to Pixels officially in the latest update. Settings -> Battery -> Charging Optimization
Assuming you have a new enough device running the stock OS.

I use Portainer mainly to start / stop / restart containers without the mental load of using the command line. It works fine with Compose if you can get (or write) a yaml file for the container you’re interested in, or you can use it to pull from the repository and set everything up if you can’t. Portainer also gives you a nice, one-stop view of the current state of your containers. Basically, it can’t hurt to have it around.
Personally, my favorite Docker management GUI is the one that comes with Synology NASes. It’s much less clunky that Portainer and iirc a little more powerful. But of course it only runs in their hardware.

I got a free copy with a graphics card I bought recently, but AAA games aren’t really my jam. OTOH, I would like to put the card through its paces… Chances are it will make me create yet another account somewhere to play it, so I probably won’t bother with it.

I loved Monster Train, and Slay the Spire has such a great reputation, but the art style is ass so I’ve been reluctant to pick it up (Monster Train’s is pretty bad too). This doesn’t look like much of an improvement, but perhaps gameplay trumps graphics again here.

Dwarf Fortress? Go hard or go home.

This version of Warcraft II has the map editor, right? I really enjoyed building my own tower defense scenarios.
I’ll pass otherwise.

I would be using Fintube for Youtube integration, but it’s broken :-(

Probably Persona 5 at 60% off. I liked 4 and 5 has an incredible reputation.
Wasteland 3 is $8. Seems like a great value.

That’s good to know. I leave location services off on Android when I’m not using them and the possibility of a triangulation leak always nagged me a little. Not a lot, because I’ve never heard of any actual harm coming from it. But a little.

Let’s say I’m willing to trade faster delivery for lower cost - is there another site with similar selection that you would recommend?
I ordered some common 1/4-20 bolts from McMaster recently because buying them from the local big-box is an even worse deal, but I did feel like I could get a better price somewhere else.

The server certainly should have picked up the change in metadata but I can’t help you with why it didn’t.
I can suggest that you edit the metadata in Jellyfin rather than using external tools and moving items in and out of the library. Just click the three-dot menu for a track or album and choose “Edit metadata”. If it doesn’t pick up changes made from Jellyfin then something is very wrong.

If you can avoid having you server and the media library on separate systems you should. That means buying (or I suppose building, but I wouldn’t recommend it) a NAS with sufficient processing ability to stream / transcode as much as you need, or stuffing a lot of storage into your mini PC.
One of the problems you’ll run into if you use separate systems is that it’s non-trivial to get the server to automatically notice new items in the media library and update to include them. I’m sure there are others.

Ah, okay. I’ll hold off on updating then (I think I’m using native mode, but I can’t remember).

So this WON’T break the “Jellyfin” Kodi plugin? Just making sure it’s not the same thing as “Jellyfin4Kodi”.

Well that’s a shame. I’m sort of half-assedly using syncthing to backup my photos from my phone to my server, but mostly I rely on immich. I never really got the hang of using syncthing with my phone.
