Got it, thanks!

If all your current files are still in the "download" folder, you could probably setup the arrs and qbit as recommended in the guides

Yeah, that's the rub... they are all currently in separate movies, shows, and music folders as Plex/Jellyfin want them to be.

But it's sounding like the best bet is to leave the existing content alone for now and spin things up per the guides until I have a better handle on how it all works. Appreciate the input!

Yeah, I'm using Unraid, so this would all be in dockers.

I think maybe I had a false understanding that radarr (for example) interposes itself between the actual media files and Plex/Jellyfin... which sounds like a PITA to undo, and was giving me pause.

Thanks, this is helpful!

If I do a "clean" install, can i later identify specific pieces of media within a library to monitor?

I love scheduled and automation based DND, except that about twice per year, SOMETHING SOMEWHERE updates and causes my alarm to be silenced by DND, despite having my clock app exempted from every possible silencing mechanism I can find.

For the life of me, I can't understand why that would ever be a useful behavior, let along default one.

Lucky for me, I have a pretty robust internal clock, but Holy Fuck is that annoying.

Not to knock on you, because everyone's got different priorities, but I think calling it a "huge expense that's no longer relevant" is a pretty loaded framing. A decent 75-ish inch TV can be had for about the same price as a middle-road flagship phone.

Sure, I can certainly watch a movie or play a game on my little 6" phone screen, but it's an entirely different experience--in the same way that eating a protein bar and eating your favorite meal will both technically nourish you.

Granted, I've spent quite a bit in excess of the cost of a decent TV on the audio system to go with it, but pretty much anything other than watching rando youtube videos or playing idle phone games, I would rather do in front of a large screen with immersive sound--gaming, shows, movies etc., even if it's just me alone.

I haven't seen the recent sketch--In the original though, his character was racist out of ignorance, but sorta open-minded and empathetic when actually facing black folks.

That latter part is probably what the trumpers actually find offensive.

Fair point. It's been MANY years since I read the book, so I'm probably forgetting some context.

It just seems like an issue that transcends the nature the productivity base of the economy, and has more to do with how power is distributed (or not!) in society. I mean, being a manufacturing-based economy certainly didn't keep oligarchs at bay in the early 1900's US. On the flip side, a coder or a banker can strike just as well as a machinist.

Anyways, I don't mean to digress from the main thread...

I've always wondered what is the significance of mentioning the transition from a manufacturing-based to a sevices-based economy.

Aside from the old-fashioned notions about how the only real work is done with your hands, or how "Good times make soft men....", I don't quite follow the link.

I have some ratios in the 500s

I have around 400 items seeding 24/7. No problems at all, except that I am sending from my media server via my desktop,so I need to set speed limits in my torrent client to keep from saturating the wifi connection. (Slowly working to get things migrated over...)

I think a good compromise would be a simple overwrap or removable label that can be removed after purchase.
