Depends on the setup. Maybe you run everything off a raspberry pi and can't afford to transcode 4k, so you have a separate 4k library for local users only. I could also see wanting to separate the volumes when you have multiple servers attached to a single NAS.

IDK, I don't personally bother with 4k, but I imagine it's a little more to manage if you're sharing your media out with friends/family.

This explains a lot. I've had dentists baffled that I could still feel anything during a procedure.

I haven't bothered with torrents since we cancelled all our streaming services. Usenet is so good right now. SABNZBD, Sonarr, Radarr, Plex, Overseerr for my family requests/Plex share users. Finding a few good providers/indexers was really cheap (Black Friday sales were great last year).

It definitely takes a lot of fucking around/learning initially, but once you've set it up right, it's seamless.

Somewhat related - I hear real-debrid is a pretty slick way to basically stream torrents, if you don't have access to a bunch of physical storage. Haven't tried it myself, but people seem to dig it.

This is good advice, I recently first tried a Linux install on a partition of a large HDD just to tinker, then pretty much immediately bought a secondary SSD and re-did all the setup there.

I'm already a convert btw! My windows partition hasn't been fired up in weeks now.

Good point, I overlooked that. Guess I'm still salty from the previous decade lol. Was extremely happy to see Chabot go, and have been happy with Landsman in general so far. We have a ways to go but I'm trying to be optimistic!

District 1 is a fucking joke, I hate living in it. How is downtown Cincinnati connected to Warren county in any way? The seat used to be competitive, but It hasn't swung democrat since the change in 2011.
