As simple as what I’m about to suggest is, it is priceless.
This is an example when copy > paste. Copy the file content, perform the methods shared in this thread, then once you’ve verified that everything is running properly you can delete the original copy.
If it bunks and overwrites, no biggie, you planned for that.
I’d love to say that I’d never made the mistake of choosing CUT when I should have chosen COPY, but I guess sometimes we learn things the hard way. 💀
This is wonderful, I’m going to look at their implementations. That person certainly has the same goals as myself. This seems like a good chance to learn some C#. Whether I extend this person’s project or continue with my own implementation, I will post my results here once they are ready to be made public. Any persons reading this is free to message me to ask about progress.
I rely on the same library actually, I’ll check out that repo tmrw. It may be different than my project but I could use some inspiration so this is very relevant.
Thanks a lot.
I actually run nox as my primary client because my server is headless so this is certainly relevant. Well, sort of headless, I broadcast a vnc server then use mullvad to manage qbittorrent thru localhost:8080.
Or if I wanna manage it from a different computer, create a ssh route to the server from that computer, and well… do the same thing as above.
The limitation was that I need to open a web browser for both of those scenarios, and I just want to do everything thru the terminal. I know, I’m weird. Ideally I’d love to have a fully featured CLI interface but for now just simple stuff.
Just don’t wanna go reinventing the wheel. But if my project is original then I will continue to work on it and share it once it’s a bit more polished. The community can always use more projects, right?
I have an LG TV. Yes, the jellyfin client app is available in the LG store. You’ll just need to install it and tell it to connect to “IP_OF_YOUR_JELLYFIN_SERVER:8096”.
Alternatively, the Jellyfin server can broadcast as a DLNA server (in settings somewhere) and your TV’s Jellyfin client may automatically detect the server in that case.
Speaking to your other question, I use a Sabrent hard drive bay with some 20TiB drives setup as raid 5 logical volumes. It’s a good setup for me.
Break your system down with a block diagram. Define the minimum functions and properties for each block. Then create an inventory from that.
In short, break down your problem into smaller bits. No one knows your requirements and vision better than you. You can do it.
I use a laptop connected to some external drives managed by a Sabrent 5-Bay Hard Drive Docking Station. The laptop runs Ubuntu Server and hosts media via Jellyfin on raid5 logical volumes shared between disks (to increase read speed).
I learn by writing documentation. Learn how you learn, that information will be priceless in value to you.
I agree with your sentiment regarding confusing syntax, however I think that confusion simply requires a calculated approach to dispell it.
It’s a prime example of why I use scripts as reminders as much as I use them functionally. I work out the syntax once… save it to an example script, then save myself 20 minutes of remembering by just $ cat ./path/to/script.sh and copying said syntax.
So if you can change your workflow such that learned things stay around as examples, I feel that you will pick it up much more quickly :)
awk
…for parsing the output of other commands quickly and simply. Then that parsed output can be used to create simple log messages or be passed as args to other scripts. Powerful.
A few ways I’ve used it.
Odd, a site seems to be non-functional. (Enable VPN). Site begins to work. Oh, my ISP was fucking with me.
A site is stuttering. (Enable VPN). Magically works. Oh, my ISP was fucking with me.
The most annoying, my family’s Internet over the holidays was blocking my laptop from updating Ubuntu, enabled VPN, udpate went just fine.
In general, it stops ISPs from dictating if they approve or disapprove of your behavior. Hide what you’re doing and all traffic is just anonymous bits and bobs.
As it fucking should be by law… but in the US the conservative party continually repeals the law that enforces non-interference. So for now, we need VPNs.
Left vs Right is a distraction.
The fight for a better life is Top vs Bottom.
Well written, and I learned a few things from this story. I recently started a cloud of my own with 4 20TiB HDDs in a raid 5 configuration so this story felt very prescient to me. Makes me very grateful for the simplicity of Cockpit and LUKS2… my setup felt so trivial to configure!
That is good but only shows the last 10-15 lines of the log, unless there is an arg to expand that, or a command to follow the log. I am aware of neither.
I usually use your suggested command to check if a service is up, then if it isn’t, use journalctl to find out why.
tbh my go to command is just… journalctl -fe -u service
ex :
journalctl -fe -u jellyfin
journalctl -fe -u nordvpnd
so I’d also like to know the answer to this question. my other go to is dumping journalctl to text files and parsing with grep and awk and creating my own reports with that parsed information.
grep -E is my favorite, I love regex capturing groups.
You’re right, ha, I’m totally not… they, I mean they are totally not! You got it guy! Everyone listen to this guy! I’d go as far as to say anyone reading this article is innocent of ALL crimes!
Rational thought is their code for, “agree with my irrational thought.”
As long as the jackass doesn’t sell, they’re solid.
I had a roommate who invested, when his stuff went down more than 5% he’d sell it, “Don’t wanna be too risky,” he’d say, unaware that he was breaking the cardinal rule of investing…
Then, “Omg it’s up again, I better buy high before it goes higher!” then repeat pattern A again.
Moral of the story, if you actually believe in a stock, unrealized losses are not something to react to. Or do, and become a warning tale told to others, ha. Them -5% hits add up QUICK.
Will do, I’ve been working on un-hardcoding some dev stuff and getting it ready to be published for general use. I will post the update on this sub-lemmy when it’s ready.
