Help selecting audio tracks

I'm converting my physical media to digital specifically anime (super annoying).

I have broken out the episodes and have 6 audio tracks. I want to keep the DTS-HD MA for both english and Japanese.

on disc they are

  1. english dts hd ma 2.0
  2. english dts 2.0 1536 kbps
  3. japanese dts-hd ma 2.0
  4. japanese dts 2.0 1536 kbps
  5. japanese dts hd ma 5.1
  6. japanese dts hd 5.1 1536 kbps

I prefer to keep the dts ha ma for both english (1) and japanese(5) with the japanese moved to become track one after the encode.

How do i do this?

I can set "use first track as template"

Track selection behaviours "first selected language" (add japanese first over english)

but this puts japanese (3) as the track to encode? is their an option somewhere that i'm not using correct or another feature that allows me to encode this with track 5 first then 1 as second without doing it manually?

EDIT:
I could start over again and in the process of splitting the episodes apart with mkvtoolnix i can remove the extraneous audio tracks, but i have already purged the disc rips which means restarting for this series.

New Home sensors - Smoke/CO2, AQI

2 questions:

  1. The new vape AQI sensor requires POE. I live in a older build without POE runs around the house. I intend to use a old US 8 60watt and add a AC Pro, set both devices to the Security device VLAN and create a hacky Wifi bridge will this work to run the vape / AQI?
  2. I will add additional smoke sensors around the house (code compliance for 120v wired etc) does this sensor require the super link? I live in a 1500 sqft home on a 13,000 sqft lot, detached garage. I have two U6 mesh deployed in the home, which is currently overkill.

PSA: Buyers beware of used hardware

My brother in law bought my old NAS but I needed the RAM for my current buildout. He went out and bought a better cooler used and 4 sticks of ddr4 ram.

Put the sticks in and tried to boot the system, would not post. Old gaming board so it has digital display of post codes. it cycled through several RAM posting errors. I shut down my current NAS and pulled one of the sticks that was in the old NAS put it in, booted just fine. Installed TRUENAS onto his boot Showing my hardware works. Swapped back to the used 4x8gb sticks. No love. He'll have to run memtest and figure out what which stick is bad or more carefully inspect them.

His lesson learned. Testing used memory is annoying as it takes a long ass time. I just bought a medium form factor and i'm testing the RAM, its a prebuilt from a national hobbyist retailer (Memory express), I assume its good RAM its from 2020, but i'm double checking anyways. I get a free reminder.

TLDR:

my brother in law bought used ram. it was defective system would not post. Test your hardware before handing over cash if you can.
