Does anyone know if there is a way to use mythtv as a TV backend for jellyfin?
I used it back in the day when I still had analog Cable TV and a digital capture card. MythTV was a pain in the ass to setup. The UI was horrible and if you were trying to setup satellite, it could get really complicated if you didn’t know what you were doing.
That being said, MythTV is probably hands down the best digital recorder I’ve ever used. Like for LiveTV it sucks, because channel switching takes ages until it’s built a recording buffer. This might be less of an issue on SSDs now, like I said I haven’t used in ages. But MythTV had some of the best features in terms of scheduling recordings, avoiding conflicts and skipping commercials.
Once I started using MythTV, I stopped watching live TV entirely. Since I simply just recorded stuff I was interested in.
I’ve used MythTV, TVheadend and NextPVR. MythTV has the best recording features. TVheadend in combination with Kodi has the fastest channel switching, which is great if you just want to channel hop. NextPVR is decent and IMHO the easiest to setup out of the three. But is lacking in certain areas.
Not a place in particular, but if you’re driving, avoid any border crossings during peak holiday seasons. Specifically when you’re crossing from the EU into non-EU countries or crossing from Schengen into non-Schengen area. During peak times you might be waiting at the border for hours.
Not really with mdadm raid5. But it sounds like you like to live dangerously. You could always go the BTRFS route. Yeah, I know BTRFS Raid56 “will eat your data”, but you said it’s nothing that important anyways. There are some things to keep in mind when running BTRFS in Raid5, e.g. scrub each disk individually, use Raid1c3 for metadata for example.
But basically, BTRFS is one of the only filesystems that allows you to add disks of any size or number, and you can convert the profile on the fly, while in use. So in this case, you could format the new disk with BTRFS as a single disk. Copy over stuff from one of your other disks, then once that disk is empty, add it as a additional device to your existing BTRFS volume. Then do the same with the last disk. Once that is done, you can run a balance convert to convert the single profile into a raid5 data profile.
That being said, there are quite a few caveats to be aware of. Even though it’s improved a lot, BTRFS’s Raid56 implementation is still not recommended for production use. https://lore.kernel.org/linux-btrfs/20200627032414.GX10769@hungrycats.org/
Also, I would STRONGLY recommend against connecting disks via USB. USB HD adapters are notorious for causing all kinds of issues when used in any sort of advanced setup, apart from temporary single disk usage.
Mailcow allows users to setup their own aliases similar to gmail with a “+” delimiter. E.g. username+randomalias@domain.com.
Mislabeled files, not so much. Since there isn’t really a way to verify the content until it’s downloaded. You can adjust things like which file sizes are considered a certain quality, e.g. HD or 4k. But one approach could be that you define tags for release groups which you know and trust. And give those tags a higher score. This should lead to releases by those groups being preferred.
You can of course add multiple tags with positive and negative scores. For example I use tags to give a higher score to releases that have 5.1 audio, or which are non-hdr.
You can try to faff around with keywords and tags, e.g. give x264 or x265 a higher score rating, etc… As a failsafe you can configure a trashcan location and specify that all deleted files go there first and don’t get emptied for X amount of days.

UPS with usb allows you to configure a script to properly shutdown your server when a power outage happens and the UPS battery is about to run out.
Not surprising when corporations and special interest groups practically run the U.S. Government.
Do you have a NAS at home with enough storage? You could use wireguard to setup a vpn tunnel, then mount your NAS’s storage on your vps via nfs and using cachefilesd. If your upload speed is sufficient, this can work pretty well without too much waiting for a stream to start.
Short answer, no. Nobody knows. At least not unless you can accurately predict exactly how many API calls and how much data you will transfer.
Setup jellyfin and pick up a 4k Google Chromecast for your TV. Then use the jellyfin client app on that. Nice and easy.
Dude, get some sleep before you kill someone.

I use mailcow for self hosting.
Smart things my “stupid” dog does:
I have a box with gamepads, remotes and headphones next to the coch. My dog knows thats off-limits to him. If he wants attention and I ignore him long enough, he will then start to paw at the box. Sort of to say “Look at me…look what I’m doing…I’m touching the box…can’t ignore me now…”
Anytime he does something super cute, the microsecond when I point my phone camera at him, he will turn away. Not if I suddenly reach for my phone, not if I’m just scrolling, but literally as soon as I want to tap the shutter button. It’s become quite a challenge to try and sneakily take pictures of him.
Both my wife and me work from home 9-5. He will pretty much sleep during that time and not be much of a bother. Around 6 we have Dinner, and then take him for a walk for him to do his business. After that we relax in front of the TV. He pretty much knows we’ll watch about two episodes of some show, then step outside for a smoke. So as soon as the second episode stops, he’s already on top of us, begging for attention.
A few directed by Ritchie Cunningham, he often collaborates with Aphex Twin and Björk.
Prodigy’s “Smack my bitch up” That video just had excellent camera work and a surprise twist at the end.
Pretty much all videos of Daft Punk’s “Discovery” Album.
Jamiroquai “Virtual Insanity” Simple setup, but great execution.
A few from Peter Gabriel come to mind as well.
I don’t quite see the use case for this. Jellyfin shows poster art for your media. Or are you outputting to a different display than you are watching your media on?
I’d say PS2. The sheer amount of unforgettable classics and the fact that it was the best selling console of all time.
