  • WD Red Pro are as quiet as Plus when not seeking. The seeking behaviour is something I barely notice when sitting 2 meters away from 10 spinning platters in my office. I can wholeheartedly recommend them as a size upgrade from Plus.

    No problems either, but that’s just an anecdote. Worth remembering though is that review are negatively skewed since positive experiences rarely turn into a review.


  • There’s been lots of great movies lately, they’ve just drowned in the massive marketing budgets of copy pasta bullshit sequels.

    What I do instead is mostly rely on specific directors that I know produce high quality content like Guy Ritchie, Wes Anderson, and Christopher Nolan (especially work done together with his brother, Jonathan Nolan, but IIRC Jonathan mostly focused on series like Westworld and Fallout after Interstellar).

    Another thing to look for is A24 movies. They’re quite unique and usually pushes the limits with story telling. Their older stuff, while great, might though not be everyone’s cup of tea but it seems like they’re trying to mellow it a bit out lately to cater to a larger audience.








  • I’m fully Dockerized (well, uhh… Podmanized) and I’m dual-wielding Plex and Jellyfin. Runs smoothly and both only have read to the content. All management of the media is handled by the *arr stack anyway. I even set up a volume for Plex to throw conversions into that Jellyfin can’t see. I’m currently personally using Jellyfin and I’m waiting for Jellyfin to be good enough (or Plex bad enough…) for the users I share with to switch over.

    I can definitely recommend that setup.
