My main question is: what automates pushing new content to my Plex libraries and kicking off a library scan?
Seems like there are lots of apps that do similar things (monitor trackers for example). I just need one that moves content from \Data\Torrents\ to Plex:\movies and tickles it enough to trigger a scan.
Does Overseerr do this?
So, so good.

Weekly home menu planning & ChatGPT
Is there a LLM/ChatGPT tuned to help with weekly meal planning that doesn't suck? Why not?
As a home cook, I'd like to get a weekly meal plan for dinner plus a shopping list focused on my interests, so I can use it for inspiration.
This seems like a really good LLM application:
- it doesn't have to be factual
- huge corpus of data to work from (recipies, meal plans)
- can tune to suit my (or a users) taste
- ideally it cood avoid repeats (by knowing what it suggested last week)
And, so far the ones I've found seem... Underwhelming. Has anybody found somethig good? Ideas about why not?
Interesting. Ombi means I don't have to run docker. How do you like it?

What apps/stack to automate grabbing content and adding it to Plex?
I want to be able to search for content on my phone, then have it automatically downloaded and posted to plex, so that I don't have to fuck around so much every time I want to backup a show.
I am running Plex (on a TrueNAS Core box), Radarr, Sonarr, and QbitTorrent today. I have a preferred tracker.
What other apps do I need to make it easy to find out of a show is avaliable, automatically hand it off to Radarr/Sonarr then download it and move it to my NAS share then get Plex to refresh and tell me it's done?
This is the way.
I couldn't bring myself to spend hundreds on a bike box, at least not without more travel on the horizon. So card board it is. But... Wheels sound nice. So, I got some castors and trimmed some spare 2x6 and now... Wheels!
Ghetto bike box - now with wheels

Good questions. I own priorities, my team owns operation. Fixing this is on our list of priorities, not high enough to get the amount of attention needed to really fix it.
We have 3 (three. Three!!) redundant monitoring and alerting systems and have yet to detect the issues routinely found by our customers. Its not because we didn't detect them, it's because we have so many false positives we stopped looking (but still run the monitors).

Red hot rebar headed downstream at 40mph - holy shit!
There is a steel mill (recycling plant) in my town. They give tours every Friday. I have been 3 times, twice with teams of (software) engineers.
If you want to go see what engineering means when lives are on the line, tour a steel mill. Fucking amazing.

Tentatively raises hand...
Yes, several times. Surprisingly: my shortest surgery (10 min to remove a device) resulted in about 10 days of serious depression. A shrink says this happens about 10 percent of the time. I wish I'd known this in advance, I'd have opted out. I will be more cautious in the future.
You don't understand the depths of my shame.
I was in OS support for 5 years. I supported DOS 5.
I work with software Dev teams all day long, including designing highly available services.
And I do after hours tech support for elders (my folks) and house mates (my fam).
If anybody knows to reboot...
Well now I feel like an ass - this is what I'd tell my parents.
And yeah, that fixed it. I'm tempted to delete this whole embarrassing post, but I will leave it for the edification of others and to memorialize my shame.

fixed: New and strange home button behaviour - how to fix?
On my pixel 6 the home button returns me to my home screen, or it used to. Recently, if I am on a google search (from the home screen google search widget), home does nothing.
I'm expecting it to return me to the home screen - that's what it does on a pixel 7.
I don't think I've made any changes to cause this, any idea how to get it back?

Rolling around on Vancouver Island.

2 broken spokes - 50 miles from home
Am I right to be annoyed that I have two broken spokes after having a reputable shop fix 1 broken spoke a few days ago?
I'm out doing a tour, tomorrow is the last big day - 45ish miles. The rear end felt a little squidgey coming out of the woods this evening. I figured I was low on air but No! Two new broke spokes (rear wheel, drive side, broke off in the J bend, holes are right next to each other).
I got to practice using a fiber fix - and truth be told we aren't really doing anything rough, so I imagine things will be fine. But... Dang, I wish the shop would have told me the tension was off and I was going to break more - I would have brought another fiber fix!
Btw: fiber fix is a neat little hack. But a PITA to install on the drive side. What finally worked for me was: make a 'clean' end by cutting the end I messed up trying the first time. Then, reenforcing the end with super glue and some tape (so the end would hold together while forcing it through the hub hole). A bright lig
Vancouver island tour


Some friends and me out rolling around Vancouver island. Here we are headed out of Victoria to Duncan. Really nice, relaxed riding most of the way.

out on tour, skipped wine tasting
I'm out rolling around Victoria with some friends, one is a wine buyer. He got the good local stuff for the gang to try. I really wanted some, just a bit... Decided to pass.

I thought Neko Case was bigger


Gotta be a pretty early bird to get close at zoo tunes. Nice to see some music outside!

trouble logging in to reddthat?
I am trying to login at reddthat.com/login using both my email address and username - no dice, just a green spinny icon endlessly.
I've tried on my phone (duck browser) and on desktop chrome. Tried incognito mode - no change. Infact, I dont get any response even with known bad credentials.
In Devtools - I don't even see a call being made to the server.
I think Incognito rules out any plugins - any idea what might be up?
