You need actual moderation to keep people safe.

I don't like the overuse and misuse of Material UI – the paper-looking thing with raised textures and shadows. It takes a bit of work to make it look good, and many sites just drop in a CSS file and call it a day.

Dude, have you worked in tech? At all? It’s already horrendously overrun with men who step outside their space and make everyone’s day worse. I don’t begrudge women for being frustrated that it’s happening at the Grace Hopper conference.

Thanks for all the questions and I absolutely don’t think you’re being too negative! This was mainly made to scratch an itch I had, but I hope that other people find it useful too.

The main difference between this and plex_debrid is that this is set up out of the box to work without manual integration steps. You don’t have to copy the Plex API key around — simply sign into Plex and Overseerr, and my config script handles wiring your watchlist up to request content.

I’ve also built a high-quality media selection algorithm that I think is the best out there for getting the copies of media you want to make your users happy. Check out the docs on Media Profiles.

Putting everything in one container doesn’t necessarily break the mantra of using containers. I use containers all day at my job and in my personal clusters. What I’ve found is using tools like Docker Compose to distribute software makes it much harder for people to run my software on home servers like Unraid — and there wasn’t a technical reason I couldn’t bundle these into one container to make it easier. In this case, the services are pretty coupled and I don’t have much need to scale them up individually.

I haven’t built any automation for this yet, but my repo tracks the upstream sources for rclone, pms-docker, and Overseerr, and I’d like to pull in those updates as I cut new releases.

I have a "traditional" home server with Plex + *arr + torrent client set up. It's great, but I need to manage the storage space on my NAS and I have to wait a few hours between requesting media and watching it. Using Debrid with Torrentio means I don't have to wait for a download or find a place to store it.

Right now I run both Coaxist and my old Plex server in parallel.

You've identified the main benefit – Debrid services provide cached torrents for "instant" downloads. Streaming straight from a Debrid service's fileshare also means you don't need to buy drives or additional storage.

When you say Wasabi, do you mean the hosted S3-compatible cloud storage service?

I don’t have any plans at the moment but I welcome anyone who would like to fork the project for this. Happy to try and make things easy for you.

Learning K8s is a lot to take on, but it will pay off as your needs expand in the long term — and if you decide to go into infra/ops at work.

Agreed, the prices for Android are much better when non-US tariffs are involved.

Premium Android phones are just as expensive as iPhones and come with worse software quality and shorter support periods.

 

Hello travelers!

I'm doing some brief server maintenance to update globe.pub to 0.18.4 and do some other networking housekeeping. Please expect some downtime over the next couple of hours.

 

I am signed in as an admin user of my instance. A different, non-admin user has created a community on my instance. I can't edit this community's details. If I create a post in this community, I can't use the ... menu to assign myself moderator of this community.

What do I need to do to give myself access to edit this community?

 

Ine is a scenic fishing village of around 2,000 people which sits on a quiet south-facing bay. Spend some time staying in a boathouse right on the water and take in the tranquil ocean air.

 

What were your favorite little spots that weren't horribly touristy that you hope other people get to see? A couple of mine are:

  • Shimokitazawa - cute shopping district not far from Tokyo
  • Miyajima Island - beautiful island with tame deer, easy mountain hikes, and lovely temples, off the coast of Hiroshima via ferry
  • Kamakura - former capital of Japan with lots of temples, a historic electric railway that still runs antique passenger cars, and surfing at the beach. 1.5 hours south of Tokyo.
 

Of course a travel lock won't stand up to much abuse, but this one also doubles as a carabiner when used unlocked. $30 from Matador.

 

Sleep off your Kabukicho hangover on the Romancecar from Shinjuku to Hakone as you ride toward an onsen you can spend all day relaxing in. Not that I speak from experience.

 

I’m looking forward to:

  • A week-long liveaboard somewhere warm
  • Diving the sardine run at Moalboal, Philippines
  • Australia’s Gold Coast
 
  • Wear a sling bag for quick access to your stuff without having to go into your big bag on the airplane.
  • You probably don't need the fancy laundry soap packets to wash your clothes in the sink. You can use a little bit of laundry soap bar in a plastic bag, or in a pinch, some hand soap.
  • Nice sandals (like Bedrock) and zero-drop shoes (like Lems) can pack real flat into your bag and reclaim some space.
  • Bring a Heroclip, a carabiner which can double as a hook to keep your nice backpack off the bathroom floor.
  • Little A6 notebooks fit almost anywhere and are a great way to jot down notes during your trip.
