Late, but present. I will be making.. A Halloween costume. It will be a wearable mask that covers my head and leaves my hands free. It will be open except on the front. I have no idea how I will do it yet, bit plenty of time to figure it out...

What apps/stack to automate grabbing content and adding it to Plex? in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
[–] Dave_r@reddthat.com 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

My main question is: what automates pushing new content to my Plex libraries and kicking off a library scan?

Seems like there are lots of apps that do similar things (monitor trackers for example). I just need one that moves content from \Data\Torrents\ to Plex:\movies and tickles it enough to trigger a scan.

Does Overseerr do this?

Weekly home menu planning & ChatGPT (reddthat.com)
 

Is there a LLM/ChatGPT tuned to help with weekly meal planning that doesn't suck? Why not?

As a home cook, I'd like to get a weekly meal plan for dinner plus a shopping list focused on my interests, so I can use it for inspiration.

This seems like a really good LLM application:

  • it doesn't have to be factual
  • huge corpus of data to work from (recipies, meal plans)
  • can tune to suit my (or a users) taste
  • ideally it cood avoid repeats (by knowing what it suggested last week)

And, so far the ones I've found seem... Underwhelming. Has anybody found somethig good? Ideas about why not?

Interesting. Ombi means I don't have to run docker. How do you like it?

What apps/stack to automate grabbing content and adding it to Plex? (reddthat.com)
 

I want to be able to search for content on my phone, then have it automatically downloaded and posted to plex, so that I don't have to fuck around so much every time I want to backup a show.

I am running Plex (on a TrueNAS Core box), Radarr, Sonarr, and QbitTorrent today. I have a preferred tracker.

What other apps do I need to make it easy to find out of a show is avaliable, automatically hand it off to Radarr/Sonarr then download it and move it to my NAS share then get Plex to refresh and tell me it's done?

Resistance training rejuvenates aging skin by reducing circulating inflammatory factors and enhancing dermal extracellular matrices in c/science@beehaw.org
[–] Dave_r@reddthat.com 4 points 1 year ago

The training program was 2x per week. For resistance training, they ran a set of machine based training, increasing resistance over time.

"3 sets of 10 repetitions as the main RT program on the following 6 weight-stack machines: leg curl, leg extension, arm curl, rowing, shoulder press, and chest press."

As an old dude, over been wondering what I can do to made my skin tougher.

"Lost" seems a bit too much - how about unmanaged?

2 broken spokes - 50 miles from home (reddthat.com)

Am I right to be annoyed that I have two broken spokes after having a reputable shop fix 1 broken spoke a few days ago?

I'm out doing a tour, tomorrow is the last big day - 45ish miles. The rear end felt a little squidgey coming out of the woods this evening. I figured I was low on air but No! Two new broke spokes (rear wheel, drive side, broke off in the J bend, holes are right next to each other).

I got to practice using a fiber fix - and truth be told we aren't really doing anything rough, so I imagine things will be fine. But... Dang, I wish the shop would have told me the tension was off and I was going to break more - I would have brought another fiber fix!

Btw: fiber fix is a neat little hack. But a PITA to install on the drive side. What finally worked for me was: make a 'clean' end by cutting the end I messed up trying the first time. Then, reenforcing the end with super glue and some tape (so the end would hold together while forcing it through the hub hole). A bright light and a tiny Leatherman squirt were required.

Interesting - they sell not only repairable phones but OEM phones with the /e/ os (degoogled Android).

Cool! They are making these just a little north of me. Maybe I will see one in the wild soon.

This is a classic feedback problem: you use a microphone to amplify your voice, but If the mic picks up the amplified sound it creates audio feedback + a sharply increasing wail.

I can't imagine what LLM feed back 'sounds like', but a guarantee you it ain't pretty.

window & tab management for chrome? (reddthat.com)
 

What's the best of breed Window/Tab manager for Chrome (Mac)?

I often find my windows too cluttered - duplicate tabs, too hard to find the thing I am really looking for. This has to be a solved problem - what am I missing?

So far TabBrew looks like a promising option, but there seem to be about a dozen extensions, and maybe other ways of doing this?

Hoping to tap the Lem-mind..
