u/Catch_22_

I have been doing some data organization (hoarder) and came across something I have been toting around for nearly 20 years. When I was late teen I got into digital photography as it was coming on to the market and took loads of photos. Long story short I packed up all my photos into a truecrypt container file for safe keeping. I had accessed this many times without issue, last in 2012, before I backed it up and then went on with life. A bout 5-7 years later I pulled the drive out and tried to open it up as I had done many times before only to find that I either don't recall the exact password (more like order) or its succumb to bit rot.

I have drug this 100GB file around for ages and every once in a blue moon I take another stab and getting into it. Today I noted that my veracypt says it dosn't support old truecrypt vol. I figured perhaps that could be the root of my issue and realized there is new truecrypt?

Regardless, can anyone point me in the direction of any tools to help recover this container? I'm sure I know 95%+ of the password (its a set of passphrases strung together) but cant seem to get the order right - I assume. I also have no way to verify that the container is not corrupt.

Most of the articles I have read are focused on whole vol and not the containers. I dont know if thats undercutting my efforts. I also vulgarly recall using whirlpool as an option (that I cant seem to locate in the latest versions of truecrypt. It stands out because whirlpool seemed so cool at the time.

What are my options? Thank you

Old man here who's been back on land for many years but its time to put my boots on and get back to sea.

I have a media library I manually curated for ages. I have been using Nova Player to play back on my Shield and its been great. No need to host a server as it pulls everything I need direct from SMB, playback, metadata etc.

In building out my stack I'm looking into a single point of search to request media. Enter the Seerrs.

My question is - it seems Seerrs need the media player back-end (Jellyfin, etc) and I know I can connect the Shield to the back-end player but - why would I want to?

What is Jellyfin able to provide on the back-end with my stack that the front end of Nova Player isn't already doing?

The way I look at this is - additional resources used on my NAS running the docker that wont be used (unless someone here can point out what I am overlooking)

Thanks for any enlightenment here.
