AI made a zodiac-looking cipher for the headline image.

Are you describing a plex feature? I was under the impression they required the media to follow certain naming conventions. [1]

Maybe mkv-renamer is of use to you? [2]

I'm describing a hypothetical feature that I want. Essentially an automatic version of mkv-renamer that can identify series, episodes, and special content based on the signature of the ripped files. For whatever reason, such a service doesn't even exist.

IAmBroom · 2026-09-08T13:22:04

Does Filebot not do this for you? A quick glance suggests it does, but I'm not overly concerned with its decision-making; name matches are close enough.

jshier · 2026-09-09T01:48:20

That may actually be what I need, I'll give it try.

FWIF, way back when, Twitter was the "Twitter for tech nerds".

Lots of water under the fridge since...

weberer · 2026-09-06T16:28:03

That's not how I remember it. Ever since the beginning circa 2008, it was the one site that was being pushed hard by the mainstream media, celebrities, and marketers. None of it was organic. All the tech nerds were on sites like Digg, old Reddit, or Slashdot.

hnlmorg · 2026-09-06T17:19:04

Early Twitter was used loads by tech nerds as a notifications API.

There definitely was a community of experimentation back in early days.

How you remembered it is anecdotal, it's not relevant for the discussion unless you add something of value.

Way back when is not when it broke mainstream. It's when the service started getting attention.

It was literally pitched as a "micro blog site" for techies to communicate news, and the "app" was 160 character SMS messages.

Nerds used it as a free (as in beer) way of sending alert SMS on server errors. (At least I did).

In 2008, twitter had already started to become mainstream, quickly shifting focus away from nerd interests.

What is the meaning of FWIF ?

Google says "For what it's worth", won't that be FWIW ?

0points · 2026-09-11T19:29:04

Typo. I meant FWIW

Just have to remember that it's X, not Y, that marks the spot.

TIL ublock can do this (and won't have to wait for the initial response from x.com) - see the Tips section on https://twit.0r.cx

Wait, what tips section?

> Though I'd really need 2 drives - one replacement, and a mirror.

Yea, with just a single drive it's not really a backup is it?

> If I copy some files with zfs to another drive, I'd also like to check that there wasn't an error in the copying process.

That's what rsync is for.

> I wouldn't mind buying a mirror set a year or two ago, but storage is so expensive now.

Prices went up, yes but not that much to be fair. And I think it mostly affected M2 disks.

Here's my very limited notes on HDD prices.

In 21 october 2023, a 22 TB disk cost me 0.37 SEK per gigabyte.

In 28 may 2026, a 26 TB disk cost me 0.36 SEK per gigabyte.

Both were WD red disks.

> In 28 may 2026, a 26 TB disk cost me 0.36 SEK per gigabyte.

The best price I can find for a 24gb+ hard drive is $1250 AUD for a 24gb Seagate Barracuda drive, at my local computer store. They're a similar price on amazon. Amazon US has refurbed drives too, which are a little cheaper but not much.

$1250 for 24gb is $52AUD per gigabyte, or 353 Swedish Krona per gigabyte.

> This would not have happened 10 years ago.

Funny you say that, as I was installing Ubuntu on peoples laptops and it just worked, like 15 years ago... :-)

Only on a select combination of blessed components and BIOS/EFI not half-ass broken to the tune it only worked somewhat stable on Windows.

Anything with split iGPU/dGPU was a mess no matter what and where, WiFi that was not Intel was a mess, suspend to ram and suspend to disk were a coin flip if the system would wake up again or if it would decide to wake up on its own and overheat itself to panic.

"I installed Ubuntu on peoples laptops and was extremely lucky they happened to have compatible hardware or didn't notice the stuff that didn't work and had a non-borked firmware". FTFY.

This was absolutely not everyones experience, including mine.

Using kitty's graphics protocol is not ssh nor "works over ssh".

FWIW, I blocked the US for a while.

Eventually, my lets encrypt cert expired and it turns out certbot is run from USA, so the auto renewal failed me.

You'll get best compatibility for 20+ year Windows gaming using either

A) qemu with a XP/Vista guest and a older dedicated nvidia gpu pass thru.

B) Fully software using 86box/pcem but performance will suffer.
