Appreciate it! I’ll play around with the configuration and see what works. Initially I had a really fun (/s) time with permissions on folders that were accessed by multiple containers (could write to one folder but not read it with Plex, for example) so I’m going to phase it in incrementally, hopefully without breaking my current setup.

Maybe this is an incredibly dumb question, but I was actually doing research on a very similar question to the OP and I still don’t really have a definitive answer.

I currently have a series of docker containers running Plex and the full *arr setup on the Linux drive of my PC. Because I dual boot my machine, I want to migrate my server to a NAS so I don’t shut it down whenever I switch from Linux to Windows. I’m seeing that I could theoretically use a NAS just for the media storage and keep all the transcoding (ie all of the docker containers with sonarr, radarr etc) on the existing Linux drive. However, would the Plex container live on the NAS or the Linux drive? I’d assume the NAS…?

Same. I tried to quit (and even deleted my account) but realized that the Lemmy equivalent of my home city community isn’t yet on here (and there’s also a buy nothing subreddit that’s been helpful for getting baby stuff). I use RedReader and I’m only subscribed to three local subreddits.

I’ll have to check the box but I’m pretty sure that’s what I bought. The fact that this is even an option is pretty exciting. Would I be able to include Adguard if you can push apks to it? (Would it even be worth it?)

Huh. Didn’t know you could do that to a Chromecast! Do you do it using adb?

We bought bidets and have never looked back. My husband actually prefers it because it cleans a hairy ass better lol

I think the first half of book 4 dipped a bit in quality due to some weaker characters, but the bonkers second half more than made up for it (and the TV version improved on that particular book, IMO).

The show ends on book 6, which means you miss out on pretty much the entire third act of the series. I’d say it’s worth finishing just to get some closure on some of the unresolved loose ends.

The show stops at book 6, so there’s a whole chunk you never got to see! (Plus some changes in characters/plot that were necessary to streamline the show) I liked both for different reasons, but there are certain characters that definitely got an upgrade in the show because the casting was so goddamn amazing (Ashford’s role was expanded because … David Straithern)

Another couple series came to mind as well: The Codex Alera and Cinder Spires series, both by Jim Butcher. Cinder Spires is ongoing, the 2nd book just came out.

Fair warning, Rothfuss hasn’t touched the Kingkiller Chronicles in a long time and there’s no indication if he will ever finish it. (My husband delights in taunting his mom by sending her articles about whatever project Rothfuss is currently working on that’s not the Kingkiller Chronicles)

You have a very similar taste in literature to me so I’d like to offer for your consideration:

• The Expanse series by S.A. Corey (the show adaptation is also excellent)

• Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson (first in a series but that’s the only one I’ve read so far)

Honestly moisture sensors would be nice to have later, but you don’t need to start with that. A smart irrigation timer from companies like Rachio will be just fine for the begining. It adjust the watering schedule based on current weather conditions so you don’t have to make manual changes from season to season.
