#Jellyfin 10.9.5. upgraders

If you have an issue with a locked database and media scanning failing, Set Dashboard -> General -> Performance -> Set "Parallel library scan tasks limit" and "Parallel image encoding limit" both to 1

That worked for me.

This Github thread also has a dev request for a Docker tester for a fix:

Got an email and a text just a few minutes ago for planned Maintenance to improve services.

When you send this out a half hour before you start, it isn't planned maintenance.

If it truly was planned maintenance, you need to let people in on the plan a little sooner.

Also, they will turn the switch off at midnight and not turn it back on until 6am, regardless of if they start late or get finished early.

Finally, every time Spectrum improves a feature, they take a feature away.

The other day, there was a stock market software glitch that made it appear that the sky was falling

Phone alerts were blasted, and even local news had financial experts on for a bit at some point.

Later, it was revealed to be a software glitch

I accidently came across 1 news item that reported there was a glitch in the software.

How many regular people are still thinking there was a bad dip in the stock market the other day?

If they blast breaking news, then it's an oops, blast the oops.

Season 3 of The Outlaws just dropped episode 1. There's only 6 episodes per season.

It's a crime comedy, with 81 yr. old Christopher Walken as part of the cast.

Seven strangers from different walks of life - people who would never normally interact - are forced to work together to renovate a derelict community center as part of their probation. They resent the work and each other

When one of them gets dragged into a dangerous organized crime, they unite in ways none of them thought possible.

No diss to devs, but #Jellyfin 10.9.* has been a disaster of a release across all platforms. Now up to 10.9.4 with more coming soon. The newest is shows disappearing, scan failures, etc.

I hope at some point a release autopsy is done to figure out what went wrong

My guess is not enough non-dev beta testers across different platforms & devs working only with the platform of their preference–things getting merged not fully tested across platforms

To their credit, Jellyfin is on many platforms

paul, 11 days ago to postgres

Selfhosted instance.

I am thinking of breaking #Postgres and #ElasticSearch to a separate server instead of increasing my current VPS resources.

I'll have two servers. My main, which will run Mastodon, and another that will have Postgres and ElasticSearch on it.

Will I benefit by doing this or should I just move ElasticSearch to its own server? What is the minimum CPU/ram I can get for the second server & what should I get?

Or, other thoughts welcomed.

Am I the only one who thinks it is funny that when you go get a file from certain official Ohio departments, the #CDN URL is Dam.Assets.Ohio.Gov?😂

I can see calling Ohio HelpDesk going this way,

Ohio Helpdesk's minimum wage worker, "Thanks for calling the State of #Ohio, how can I help you."

Me, "Yes, I tried to download payment schedules but got a 404 file not found error at the dam assets

Ohio Helpdesk, "Sir, I know it can be frustrating. If you can give me more info, I'll look into this"

Ohio parents receive $4 million dollar hospital bill after delivering quadruplets'

They all needed to be admitted to the NICU and each of her four babies ended up staying between 64 days and 147 days which totaled over $4 million, for which all of it was covered by #Ohio #Medicaid

I wonder what the actual amount the hospital got was, because the bills sent to patients' vs Medicaid payment max is greatly inflated. My guess, $250-500K.

Thank goodness Medicaid stepped in

This isn't hyperbole. Vote out the GOP in STATE races

The GOP is so close to be able to call an Article V Constitutional Convention at the state level & rewrite the entire damn thing, authored by the Federalist Society, & there will be nothing anyone can do

Do you really want these insane laws they're passing in red states to be hard coded in the US Constitution?

Do you really want the US billionaire oligarchs to buy a constitution they are happy with?

They just need 34. Almost there. #USPol

As of this post, there are multiple radar indicated #TVS's #Tornados in and around Bowling Green, #KY (red triangle) #KYwx #TNwx #SevereWx

A TVS is a signature, or indication, of a potential #tornado. It is basically an indication of strong wind shear (or changing wind direction) in a very small area associated with potential tornadic circulation within a thunderstorm. A TVS is no guarantee a tornado will form, but definitely a strong indication that one may soon develop, or already has.

The Golden Age of K-Mart

Before the days of "Super Kmarts" and "Big Ks," there was just Kmart.

The first Kmart was opened in 1962, and by the mid-1970s, we were all shopping there.

Revisit the days of Blue Light Specials, Kmart Cafeterias, and random wood-veneered merchandise scattered in aisles throughout the store.

Stick around for the musical montage featuring two unforgettable K-mart jingles complete with in-store announcements

Microsoft to batten security hatches on Windows admin accounts.

Currently, Windows admin accounts have full access to the operating system for software installation, registry key changes, and other system file alterations, while standard accounts can only perform those tasks by entering an admin account’s credentials. Going forward, explicit approval will be required for both types of accounts via Window's Hello.

Autocorrect keeps changing casket to gasket.

Although I don't write about caskets that often, and AC might think it is doing the right thing when it changes casket to gasket, it changes the entire flow of the conversation, post or writing. 😂

PSA: With that said, always make sure your casket has a good gasket. :awesome:

We get zero OTA TV signals

Tonight was the first night it hurt after #Spectrum stopped #cableCard support in our area and cut our card off. We had several finales going on. I'm not paying for their dvr service. I've recorded over the air or via cablecard for +30 years

The tv season is about up and by the next, we will have a remote DVR/PVR setup

We're putting a TV tuner in my brother's system, he has A+ OTA sig & he has fiber

#NextPVR will run it there and we will m3u tuner it into #JellyFin

Today is Rapture Party Day for those that observe

Rapture Party Day is held every May 21, celebrating the date that a shocking prediction was made, & widely believed, by Family Radio Christian network's Harold Camping, that Jesus would return on May 21, 2011, his followers would be sucked off to heaven & sinners would remain

It didn't happen

But hey, let's celebrate

Put up your Rapture Party Day yard decorations, like below, and party the night away.(Warning, morning hangover will come)
