It’s almost time. Who’s going? I’ll be arriving Thursday afternoon about 2pm. I’m somewhere in section Y (near the track) with modern Challengers. I know there’s always a few people from here that go.
Is anyone doing sports collections well? I have Sportarr which works well, mostly. However it misses some games. And I'm using Plex TV Series as a scanner with a Sports agent. But they use epsiode numbers for NBA games that don't always match and matchup posters respond to the episode numbers so sometime it's impossible to find the right one.
I'd like to do it by date but sports seem to be the least matured part of this process. Sonarr/Radarr and scanners/agents are nearly flawless by comparison. any thoughts, ideas, advice on the best way to do this?
Backstory, I've been a NY Knicks fan since 1985 and for the first time ever, it's worth keeping some of this stuff. it's just messy to organize and match.
A while back I asked for advice on the best unit. I had a TS-451+ (4 2TB drives) and a TR-004 (4 4TB drives) in RAID5, mostly. the TR-004 was JBOD. Honestly, I didn't know what I was doing when I first got going. I planned the move carefully with help from this community. The results have been incredible.
I'm now on a TVS-h674 with 6 16TB Exos drives and 1 2TB NVMe with RAIDZ1. All system stuff running on the NVMe storage pool. I never had snapshots before, but do now. I had some janky containers in container station but now layered Dockhand on top. My Plex config is finally complete with Prowlarr, Sabn, Sonarr, Radarr, Sportarr, Tautulli, Seerr, Bazarr, Homarr, Kometa. Cloudflare as a reverse proxy exposes Seerr to my users. Homebridge manages my non-homekit devices (with HVAC control in progress). I put in a small CPU only LLM just for fun but it's not great quality.
I remember feeling like I was in the future when I set up my first on a decade ago but, wow, was it a basic garbage setup compared to now. Learned a ton along the way too!
The only downside to having it all done is that the fun of configuring is also over. Very appreciative of all the advice I got here on my posts and what I read on others. Now I need a new project!!
I had the 451+ with the tr-004. Just upgraded the h674. The old units are still sitting in my office. I’m gonna give away the 451 but wondering if there’s value in keeping the TR-004 to have 4 more bays. 10 bays at 16TB each? Thoughts? Keep it or dump it? Or is there a better expansion unit for the 674? I don’t need it but I bought 96TB (and 2TB NVMe). After raid and the TB to TiB conversion it’s like 70.5TB. Kinda like looking at a paycheck before and after taxes. Imagine 4 more drives though! So, any advice?
I recently posted about upgrading from an old TS-451+ & TR-004 to a TVS-674. Components finally arrived and I started the process today. Moving everything over is frustratingly slow because I was really new to all this when I first started it so I have nothing set up to do it other than straight copying. And my configs for things like Plex and my docker containers is terrible so I'm struggling to get it all set up again. If the 451 wasn't really struggling and seemed to be dying, i'd have left it alone. If I hadn't invested so much time into the Plex library, i'd have just given up. Anyone in NJ wanna get paid to do it for me?
I'm sure most of us have been in this spot to some degree along the way. I know it'll be worth it in the end but the process right how has me very frustrated. Doesn't help that I work in tech for a million hours per week and just want to be done with this stuff on a friday night.
Sorry for the rant but there are 0 people in my life that understand any of this and I knew this group would understand the pain of doing all of it.
Anyone have a recommendation for a landscaper in Morris county? Looking for a spring cleanup service. Leaves and branches and miscellaneous property cleanup.
