Only use jellyfin. Have a list of things want to update… but it works for now.
Yes that is a laptop usb cooler used as supplemental placebo cooling. Also a pc fan I have propped up against the hard drive feeding into the pi.
Can’t recall last time used the ps4 or switch. But they’re there
The basement network and storage/server racks.
Heavy lifting boxes…
Why on earth do you have so many DVD drives. Also, are you using Windows?
Sorry to be so judgmental
I own over 4k titles in physical copies. So probably closer to 5-6k discs. As the other person said…backups. I’ve already found a few degraded discs as I’ve been working through.
Pretty much everything in the basement is some variant of linux. Couple more boxes(not pictured) higher in the rack that are just recycled desktops in rack mount cases. Some of the other stuff is windows because of the software being used. I use Mac stuff at work cause that’s what they provide. I don’t really care what OS. I just need it to work and the quickest way for me to get whatever it is done. I’ll reformat stuff to whatever when this project is done and I move on to the next.
That’s awesome you have a server for ripping. I made a dedicated machine using my old desktop.
Ryzen 1700, 16gb ram, 12 dvd / Blu-ray drives (one drive does 4k Blu-ray’s) and 2 more usb Blu-ray drives on top.
I ripped so many thousands of DVDs that my neighbor gave me after he passed away.
The LG drive in my photo(looks like the top drive on yours) can take custom firmware that allows them to be region free and add the ability to rip 4K disks. Can’t actually play them as that requires decryption chips to be in the drive but it makes for a MUCH cheaper 4k ripping drive than a true 4k drive.
4,000 disks is insane
Maybe post to datahorders as well. I can see why you need so many drives
Probably bought an old Redbox and is making a local backup of all the disks
Is that a Unifi PDU/UPS? Didn’t even know they made these.
Also, you need to peel the stickers of the screens.
That is what it is. My older CyberPower unit is down below. Was just easier to manage it all from one place. Need to repurpose that or sell it off…
The screens work fine with the stickers on. Never saw the point in peeling them off.
Only real reason IMO is dust can collect on the seam and it’s annoying to clean without taking the peel off anyway.
IDK why people get weird about it.
