  • I’ve just recently started using tdarr to convert all of my media to x265on 14/02 and so far I’ve saved 4.02 TB of what was 28.12TB media collection. (The number isn’t a true reflection though because new episodes and shows have been added to that library since I started)

    I’m letting tdarr manage the conversion process and once up and running meant that my NAS, desktop, my NUC and a mini pc are all plodding through and converting when I’m not using them for other things.

    If you are worried about the disk space being taken and have some CPU time you can devote to the conversion process then I’d suggest it’s worth looking into tdarr.


  • One time I ran out of disk space due to it having created since 200gb log files (not sure why that happened) then another time I think I broke something whilst moving from I’ve got to another. I can’t remember what else happened to break my instances but it was always big enough there I couldn’t restore it to working it after hours if work, so if just export the vaults from everyone’s machine, nuke it, start again and try to learn how I broke it so I didn’t do it again.

    I believe I was the problem for most of them except the massive log files one, but still, it was probably my fault as the things usually are. (Guess whose wife has them well trained at accepting the blame 😋)


  • I pay my $10 license and a personal organisation license for bitwarden because I like their platform but after yet another irrecoverable loss of data (partly my fault for not sufficiently backing it up) I’ve moved over to vaultwarden for my family’s password management.

    I don’t think I’ll stop supporting bitwarden even if I’m not using their platform directly though as I do like the service I’ve had from them for something like 4 or 5 years now.
