I know this is not the theme of this post, but I wonder if there’s an LLM that doesn’t hallucinate when asked to summarize information of a group of documents. I tried Gpt4all for simple queries like finding out which documents mentioned a certain phrase. It often gave me filenames that didn’t actually exist. Hallucinating contents is one thing but making up data source is just horrible.

You have to use the ‘OS’ version though, or is it my wrong understanding?

Agreed that there’s no all-in-one solution to play local music and music on Spotify (if I’m a premium user). I vaguely recall there’s a solution to automate playing Spotify music and record it in real-time (since you cannot download music directly) but it seemed too troublesome, so I eventually chose spot-dl4 to download music from YouTube using Spotify playlist, then the folder got imported into Lidarr/Navidrome, then my Symfonium on Android connects to Navidrome to get the songs.

It’s quite a bit of manual work to add songs to a separate playlist if I like something on Spotify then use spot-dl4 to do the download. At least, I successfully keep a copy of my favourite songs on my server.

It’s a headache most of the time so you might consider purchasing a local SIM card for 4/5G connection instead (and share connection via mobile phone) in the future.

Depends on the application really. For example, I don’t need to update Jellyfin and the arrs as soon as the new updates drop. They work just fine and I’m not waiting for any particular fixes.

Between Tube Archivist (TA) and Pinchflat (PF), it seems TA is a better choice (because you want to delete the downloaded videos). TA has a built-in interface to watch and delete the video. But if you are like me, who watches the videos in Jellyfin and don’t plan to delete them afterwards, then PF is a solid archival application.

Maybe you could try Pinchflat. I haven’t yet tried it though I do plan to do it some time soon.

I suppose you are using the plugin at https://github.com/tubearchivist/tubearchivist-jf-plugin. Very rarely I had the same problem. But if I ignore it, the data sometimes fixes itself after another update. If not, you could try the manual trigger. Frankly I have no idea why it fails sometimes.

Omg, my previous company did the same. But you missed a part. If you accidentally left out a real email, thinking it’s a scam, then the client will file a complaint.

Thanks so much for the advice. Easy of use is a major concern for family members, however. My plan is to open the web page on a tablet and put it in the living room then the family doesn’t need to use a phone. I’ll look into both options.

Nice, this looks promising. I’ll try it out.

Sorry for a noobie question. But when people say using SSO for internal apps, does it mean we only need to log in once and then the various apps won’t need us logging in again? And then the browser can stay connected for however long we want it to be?

Flox, MediaTracker and Movary. Didn’t try any of those.

Yup, the arrs and transcoding also takes up a bit of RAM. I mentioned RAM because some entry level NAS isn’t designed for anything other than file storage.

My advice is to make sure you have plenty of RAM. You won’t just install Plex. You probably want your NAS to download and manage the videos and all those applications take up extra RAM.

I purchased my first NAS a few months ago and I had zero knowledge of self hosting and zero knowledge of Linux. I did manage to install all of these applications but, as suggested by tutorials I read, also installed Portainer because using docker in a command line method was just way too difficult. I’m quite sure I wouldn’t be able to set up anything without a GUI.

I’m a newbie in self-hosting and Tailscale is super powerful for me. Everything at home is accessible on my phone, mainly music server and radarr/sonarr for watching show on the go. No need for subdomain or reverse proxy.

Just tried this out but couldn’t get it to work until downgrading mongo to 4.4.6 because my NAS doesn’t ha``ve AVX support. But then, mongo stays unhealthy. No idea why.
