What free things online should everyone take advantage of?
  • I just checked the Reddit thread and the OP took it down in protest of Reddit's API changes.

  • That's a nice find, thank you :)

  • [WP] You stumble upon the darkest secrets of the North Pole, and now they'll stop at nothing to ensure you can't leak them.

  • web based media manager
  • Are the tracks incorrect as in the first track should be English but is the French track, or track one is labelled as English but is actually French?

    If they're labelled correctly, your media player should be able to select your chosen language from the options, whichever order they're in. I think Plex does it.

    If they're incorrectly labelled, there are tools that can fix them, but it's been years since I last used one. I think MakeMKV did it, but it was gui from what I remember.

  • I banned my kid from Roblox.... what next?
  • If you create a Java server, there are mods that let Bedrock players join. One is called Geyser, and I think the other is called Floodgate, but I'd need to double check.

    You can set up a free server online through Oracle too, and using the whitelist, you can make it private too. The article I used is here if you want to have a look

  • Well, they should. Whether you do it or not is another question ;)

  • Yes, but temp folders get cleaned. You have to manually remove pdfs from your downloads folder

  • Ah, I get it, thanks :)

    I tried doing it that way at first, but because my wife's laptop is only used occasionally, I was getting the errors from that. At the moment the mesh is working for me.

    Next week might be different though 🙈

  • If you don't mind me asking, what do you mean when you say you have your Plex server as a register of changes?

    I've got my PC as a read only source for my music, with everything else copying from that and syncing with each other. That lets me put new music onto my PC, organise it, and send the changes to my network. Is there a better way to do it, or something I've missed?

  • Does using the -arrs use insane amounts of disk space?
  • To be honest, I'm not sure if there's a way to auto delete, I've only ever done it manually. I think Plex can be set up for it, but I'm not sure.

  • Does using the -arrs use insane amounts of disk space?
  • As I understand it, which I'm not sure I do, the -arrs will automatically grab torrents. In my mind, this would eat up a TB pretty quickly.

    You seem to be partly misunderstanding. They only grab what you tell them to, so they won't automatically fill your disks with random videos.

    What they do is grab any movies or TV series that you specify, and give you the option to upgrade them to a file size and quality limit that you set. For example, you could tell them that movies can be a maximum of 10GB per file, and TV can be a maximum of 3GB, and that you'd prefer 4k.

    There are profile options that let you grab any available copy of a video, and upgrade it as better versions come along.

  • Have you turned on debug logs? I haven't used Whisparr, but on the other *arrs, debug logging gives more information about how they searched, and if something was found but rejected.

    I was pottering around in the kitchen today, kind of distracted, doing Dad things* when my seven year old taps me and says 'Dad, is the fridge running?' Confused, I said yes, of course it is.

    The little sod says 'Well you'd better go and catch it then' and gives me the look. Amazing :D

    Decent Linux Java launcher?

    I've been playing on Linux using Sklauncher for a while now, but it's feeling more and more like a scam. Every time there's an update to the launcher, the old one is immediately disabled. You can only get the new one from their ad riddled site, often with inappropriate ads, and it 'can't' handle the traffic. The download buttons are linked to the ads, so ads can't be blocked either.

    It feels like the launcher is being disabled in order to force traffic to their site, making people watch the ads for over an hour in some cases.

    Because of this, I want to find another launcher that allows mods, preferably easily. Does anyone know of a decent one please?

    Update: For anyone who comes across this thread in the future, I ended up going with Prism Launcher. A few of the options threw me at first, but it's turned out to be exactly what I was looking for :)

    Can I undo root?

    Hi all :)

    It's been a while since I modded a phone, so I'm a bit out of touch. If I root my phone and uninstall some apps, can I remove root afterwards so that I can use things like banking apps without workarounds?

    I've got a Xiaomi Mi 10t Lite 5g, and it keeps automatically reinstalling its own apps, which then screw up my apps because they take over functions.

    If I can completely remove apps rather than just hiding them, that would be a bonus.

    Thanks for your help :)

    Best way to add photos to a web app?

    Hi all :)

    I'm putting together a web app for a small music festival, and part of what I want to do is add photos from the various events that we hold. At the moment, they're being posted to Facebook, but I'd prefer to have something separate from that.

    My thinking is to make a slideshow of lower resolution photos for the web app, and keep the full sized versions on Facebook so that people can download or share them. Even doing this is going to eventually bloat the app though.

    The other problem we have is that there's no budget for storage, so I need to make it for free if that's possible.

    Does anyone have any better idea than a lower resolution slideshow please?

    How do I unblock a community?

    I blocked a community recently, but found out that the main problem with it was apparently due to one user. I want to unblock the community and block the user instead, but I can't see how.
