  • On Reddit way back when, I joined a trek sub as I’ve wanted to get into Star Trek but found the 90s shows too dry (early 2000s video games however, 👌). Posted about how I was really enjoying Picard and got RIPPED to shreds in the comments. No actual death threats but a bunch of people called me intellectually challenged and one combed through my post history to point out why exactly I was so cognitively bankrupt haha



  • My workplace has a defined benefit pension and they announced that all employees will be losing this pension (even those who are a couple years from retirement).

    We will be switched over to a defined contribution pension and our previous contributions will be converted retroactively.

    I don’t foresee this new pension lasting more than 5 years before they cut it completely. I wouldn’t even be surprised if they’re able to keep our pension contributions retroactively, fucking everyone over.


  • I’m reasonably tech savvy. All my personal computers run Linux, I have a 2-node proxmox homelab with 10+ containers and virtual machines running self hosted services. I can hack other people’s code together from web searches to sometimes make things work.

    I had to do a few web searches to figure out how to sign up and get started on Mastodon. If it was a bit of a challenge for me with my listed tech skills, it’s insurmountable to the average user in the general public.











  • Oh boyo! You can have literally everything automated. All you’d need to do is search a movie or show and click request and then bam it will appear on plex.

    How?

    Arr stack (as everyone is commenting here with)

    Prowlarr (to pick your torrent indexers), sonarr (for shows), radarr (for movies) and overseerr for requests (this one’s optional but it’s so nice).

    Add API codes from your sonarr and your radarr into prowlarr (and overseerr if you go with it) and add your qbittorrent web ui server to all of them.

    I port forwarded overseerr so that it can be accessible by web and made a web app to it on my wife’s phone. Now while she’s bored at work she can scroll through recent releases on all streaming sites in overseerr and pick what she likes and click “request”. The requests get automatically approved and my prowlarr starts searching and sends the download to sonarr or radarr, which automatically moves everything into their right folders into my plex library.

    I come home and open plex and bam my new releases are there, ready to be watched.
