Hello! currently i use Jellyfin for my music library but i am not really happy with it. I used to use Plex and it was wonderful but... here we are... I already tried Navidrome but for me a crucial feature is to be able to import spotify playlists and rebuild them with my local library. For jellyfin there is a plugin that does that and it works 90% of the time. But even after finding several scripts and docker-composes i could host i was never able to properly import my spotify playlists into navidrom. Reason why that is so crucial is that i use spotify to build playlists, make song-radios and add them back into the playlist and then i download this playlist using various tools. I then rebuild these playlists inside my music library. Now i found Music Assistant 2.0 for my HomeAssistant and it's incredibly awesome! Being able to fully use my sonos speakers and group them on the fly is amazing! But using song radios inside it with my jellyfin as the media provider apparently uses jellyfin's "instant mix" and my goodness is that ever hot garbabe... i have my whole library being properly tagged by Picard and every song has the proper metadata and all that but Instant mix is just plain useless. For 50% of my songs it will just put the same song 5 times into the queue and be done with it. Sometimes it's actually able to build a good sounding radio but that's really hit or miss. So to conclude, what would you guys recommend if i want a music library that: 1. Has preferably a subsonic API to maximise compatibility with different players 2. Has the ability to import and reconstruct my spotify playlists 3. Has a working song radio / instant mix feature that will not collapse as soon as you try to use it Thank you very much!

Usenet Invites RandomLegend • 4 weeks ago • 96%

I know that this community will fall to the exact same destiny as they all do. 999 posts wanting a Drunkenslug invite and if all the stars align we get a once in a lifetime post of someone offering an invite. Many of Usenet users don't actually know they can invite people and help others to their first steps into that scene. So i beg of you, take a look into your profiles, find those invite buttons and offer them here! They will not be of any use if they just get dusty in your profiles, we need those invites in the community! There is absolutely nothing for you personally to gain here, other than the satisfaction of helping others. Thank you all and cheers!

After my guides over on c/piracy i assume some new people will look for usenet invites. Maybe someone stumbles over this one here.

So now that we've setup our arr-stack and are able to download stuff either via [usenet](https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/26287096) or [torrents](https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/26293605) we can actually set up something to consume our media on! I've used Plex in the past and while it is a much more polished experience than jellyfin, the decisions made by the plex team are not really confidence inspiring when it comes to privacy. So i've switched over to jellyfin and i am more than happy with it! Jellyseer on the other hand is a much more polished UI for Sonarr and Radarr. It connects to your jellyfin instance to chech what is available and it connects to your sonarr and radarr instance to tell them what you want to download. It's super simple, has an integrated browser for all shows and movies for you to find and looks really frigging good. This is also amazing if you "offer your services" to friends and family, as this is a super easy to understand website for your other users to "request" shows and movies. You can configure if some users requests should automatically be approved or if you want to manually click yes and no for each request. So let's get going! # 0. Preamble All these guides assume you have basic knowledge about docker & docker compose. To quickly summarize the methods here: You either use a webui to manage your docker-compose like [Dockge](https://github.com/louislam/dockge) or you create a folder and a docker-compose.yaml for each service listed here and copy the contents of each of them into that docker-compose.yaml; IMPORTANT: You HAVE to name them docker-compose.yaml exactly like that. Do NOT name them radarr.yaml for example. After you created a docker-compose.yaml and filled it with the contents here, you simply run `docker compose up -d` Since neither Jellyfin nor Jellyseer actually download some "problematic files" there is no need to run them through any VPN. Of course it doesn't hurt to route them through the same VPN you have for sonarr / radarr and the likes. I will provide two seperate docker-compose.yaml for the Jellyfin installation. One with hardware accelerated transcoding for NVidia cards, and one that has no hw-accel. ___ # 1. Folder Structure This is based entirely on my previous posts on how to set up your arr-stack ([usenet]([https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/26293605](https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/26287096)) or [torrents](https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/26293605). If you don't use an arr-stack or already have one up and running with a different folder structure you're on your own here. Since we already established this folder structure we can simply add two more folders for jellyfin and jellyseer in the configs tree: ``` arr-stack (for this example let's say it's located in /mnt/arr-stack) |---- media |---- movies |---- shows |---- music |---- etc. |---- configs |---- radarr |---- sonarr |---- qbittorrent |---- jellyfin |---- jellyseer |---- etc. |---- torrents |---- complete ``` also, if you have a fast SSD in your system with enough free storage you can also create a folder there for your jellyfin cache. Let's assume it is on /mnt/fastssd/jellyfin/cache This can make a drastic difference in performance and buffering. ___ # 2. Docker-Compose Files for each Service ## 2.1.1 Jellyfin without hardware accelerated transcoding ``` services: jellyfin: image: jellyfin/jellyfin container_name: jellyfin user: 1000:1000 network_mode: host volumes: - /mnt/arr-stack:/mnt/arr-stack - /mnt/arr-stack/configs/jellyfin:/config - /mnt/fastssd/jellyfin/cache:/cache restart: unless-stopped ``` ## 2.1.2 Jellyfin WITH hardware accelerated transcoding (NVidia) ``` services: jellyfin: image: jellyfin/jellyfin container_name: jellyfin user: 1000:1000 network_mode: host volumes: - /mnt/arr-stack:/mnt/arr-stack - /mnt/arr-stack/configs/jellyfin:/config - /mnt/fastssd/jellyfin/cache:/cache restart: unless-stopped extra_hosts: - host.docker.internal:host-gateway runtime: nvidia deploy: resources: reservations: devices: - capabilities: - gpu ``` To test if your server is properly configured to run docker containers with your NVidia GPU you can run the following command: ``` sudo docker run --rm --runtime=nvidia --gpus all ubuntu nvidia-smi ``` This will open NVidia-SMI as a docker container. If you see a table there with information about your GPU and the power consumption etc. you're good to go! If not, please look up how to configure your docker host for NVidia GPUs. ## 2.2 Jellyseer ``` services: jellyseerr: image: fallenbagel/jellyseerr:latest container_name: jellyseerr environment: - LOG_LEVEL=debug - TZ=Europe/Berlin #Changethis to your timezone! ports: - 5055:5055 volumes: - /mnt/arr-stack/configs/jellyseerr:/app/config restart: unless-stopped ``` ___ # 3. Configuring each service After we've started our services it's time to open the webui's and configure them. ## 3.1 Jellyfin 1. Open the webui on http://ipofyourserver:8096 2. Select Language 3. Set up username + password 4. Add a media library 1. Under content type select the one to start with; Lets assume "Shows" 2. Give it a "Display Name" 3. Under Folder click on the + Icon 4. Browse to /mnt/arr-stack/media/shows and click OK 5. Add any other Library in the same manner; Movies, Music ## 3.1.1 Hardware Acceleration Obviously this part only for if you set jellyfin up with your GPU. 1. Click the Hamburger Menu in the left upper corner 2. Go to Settings 3. Under Administration, click on Dashboard 4. Click on Playback 5. Click on Transcoding 6. Under Hardware Acceleration select "NVidia NVENC" 7. Select all checkboxes on the different codecs 8. Enable tone-mapping and keep the algorithm This is the fundamental basic setup. Jellyfin has an extensive Plugin ecosystem for all different things to do. Most of them make it much more easy to get correct metadata for different types of content. ## 3.2 Jellyseer 1. Open the webui http://ipofyourserver:5055 2. Click on "Use your Jellyfin Account" 3. Enter your jellyfin URL which is http://ipofyourserver:8096 4. Enter the credentials you set up in your jellyfin instance 5. Sign In 6. Click on "Sync Libraries" 7. Check your libraries 8. Click on Start Scan 9. Click on Continue 10. Click on Add Radarr Server 11. Check "Default Server" 12. Name it "Radarr" 13. Enter the IP of your Radarr server 14. Enter your Radarr API Key (you find it in Radarr -> Settings -> General) 15. Click on Test at the bottom 16. Select your Quality Profile that you want as a default 17. Select your Radarr Root Folder 18. Click on Add Server 19. Rinse and Repeat with adjusted values for Sonarr Now if you find a movie or show you can click on "Requst" and see that it will automatically push that request to either radarr or sonarr and they will start looking and downloading for it. ___ # 4. You're done Now you also have a fully functional and possibly hardware accelerated Jellyfin instance that can do movies, shows and music. One more interesting addition to this stack would be [Jellystats](https://github.com/CyferShepard/Jellystat) If you're looking for something for adult content that goes hand in hand with Whisparr, look into stash and additionally xbvr if you're looking for a VR library and player.

With a whole slew of new reasons on why subscribing to streaming services WILL give you worse services than NOT subscribing to them, i think it's time to write a new up-to-date guide on how to install and configure an Arr-Stack + qBitTorrent via Docker-Compose. # 0. Preamble All these guides assume you have basic knowledge about docker & docker compose. To quickly summarize the methods here: You either use a webui to manage your docker-compose like [Dockge](https://github.com/louislam/dockge) or you create a folder and a docker-compose.yaml for each service listed here and copy the contents of each of them into that docker-compose.yaml; IMPORTANT: You HAVE to name them docker-compose.yaml exactly like that. Do NOT name them radarr.yaml for example. After you created a docker-compose.yaml and filled it with the contents here, you simply run `docker compose up -d` I specifically did NOT route all those docker-compose files through a VPN container like Gluetun. In my case i have my Mullvad VPN setup on my router directly and selected the whole server to be tunneled through that VPN. You can add a VPN container to your setup and route all the docker compose files through that. But i will not go through this on this guide. There are guides out there how to do that and you can even ask any big enough LLM as this isn't really that complicated. Just as a simple run through. Install [Gluetun](https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun) as an additional docker container and append `network_mode: "container:gluetun"` at the end of every docker-compose.yaml here according to the [gluetun readme](https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun-wiki/blob/main/setup/connect-a-container-to-gluetun.md). You also have to remove all the `ports: ` sections in the docker-compose.yamls of each service because it will throw an error if you use the` network_mode:` and you then have to add the ports of each service into the gluetun docker-compose.yaml. You can then start a console for each docker container and check if the outside world IP adress is NOT your real one with `curl ipinfo.io` For every configuration step in this guide where it says "ipofyourserver" for sonarr, radarr, etc. you will have to change that to `127.0.0.1` as they all run inside the same network of gluetun. This is a super super quick run through and you HAVE to properly configure gluetun and run tests that stopping that container does NOT let your real IP go through. ___ # 1. Folder Structure If you want to store all your media on a NAS or some other external drive, make sure it is configured properly for symlinking / hardlinking and that you have proper permissions for this storage. Everything here will run with the 1000 user and has to create new files to work. So this is the folder structure i use. And it is stored on a NFS-Share coming from my TrueNAS. ``` arr-stack (for this example let's say it's located in /mnt/arr-stack) |---- media |---- movies |---- shows |---- music |---- etc. |---- configs |---- radarr |---- sonarr |---- qbittorrent |---- etc. |---- torrents |---- complete ``` I intentionally broke out the torrent folder to make it easier accessible for when you download something fully manual and you want to grab it out of the 'completed' folder without searching too deep. ___ # 2. Docker-Compose Files for each service qBitTorrent is the download application for Usenet. Alternatively you can use NZBget but i find Sab to be more modern, versatile and i just like it. ## qBitTorrent ``` services: qbittorrent: image: lscr.io/linuxserver/qbittorrent:latest container_name: qbittorrent environment: - PUID=1000 - PGID=1000 - TZ=Etc/UTC - WEBUI_PORT=8081 volumes: - /mnt/arr-stack/configs/qbittorrent/config:/config - /mnt/arr-stack/torrents/complete:/mnt/arr-stack/torrents/complete ports: - 8081:8081 - 6881:6881 - 6881:6881/udp restart: unless-stopped networks: {} ``` Radarr and Sonarr are the applications that will actually find and track your Movies (Radarr) and Shows (Sonarr). Additionally there is Lidarr for Music and Whisparr for porn. ## Radarr ``` services: arch-radarr: ports: - 7878:7878 container_name: radarr volumes: - /mnt/arr-stack:/mnt/arr-stack - /mnt/arr-stack/configs/radarr:/config - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro environment: - PUID=1000 - PGID=1000 image: binhex/arch-radarr restart: unless-stopped networks: {} ``` ## Sonarr ``` services: arch-sonarr: ports: - 8989:8989 - 9897:9897 container_name: sonarr volumes: - /mnt/arr-stack:/mnt/arr-stack - /mnt/arr-stack/configs/sonarr:/config - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro environment: - PUID=1000 - PGID=1000 image: binhex/arch-sonarr restart: unless-stopped networks: {} ``` Prowlarr is the application where you can configure your usenet sites. There you will put in the URLs of your Indexers like Drunkenslug and your API keys for those sites. Prowlarr will periodically check the availability of those services and will sync these accounts to all your connected services (Radarr, Sonarr, Lidarr, Whisparr, etc.). Prowlarr will then be doing the actual heavy lifting of accessing the API of any Usenet and search for your stuff. ## Prowlarr ``` services: arch-prowlarr: ports: - 9696:9696 container_name: prowlarr volumes: - /mnt/arr-stack/configs/prowlarr:/config - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro environment: - PUID=1000 - PGID=1000 image: binhex/arch-prowlarr restart: unless-stopped networks: {} ``` ___ # 3. Configuring each service Now that we have all these Services up and running. It's time to properly configure them. Let's start with qBitTorrent ### 3.1 qBitTorrent 1. Open the Webui with http://ipofyourserver:8081 2. Click on "Tools" in the menu bar 3. Click on Options 4. Click on Web Ui 5. Under "Authentification" change your Username and Password 6. Click on Save at the bottom ___ ### 3.2 Sonarr 1. Open the Webui with http://ipofyourserver:8989 2. Click on Settings #### Root Folder 1. Click on "Media Management" 2. Under Root Folders, add /mnt/arr-stack/media/shows #### Connect qBitTorrent 1. Click on "Download Clients" 2. Click on the big PLUS icon 3. Select qBitTorrent 4. Enter the IP Adress of your server 5. Port: 8081 6. Enter your username and passwort from earlier 7. Under Category enter tv 8. Check "Remove Completed" 9. Click on Test and Save #### Grab your API Token 1. Click on General 2. Copy API Key and save it for later. We need it for Prowlarr ___ ### 3.3 Radarr 1. Open the Webui with http://ipofyourserver:7878 2. Click on Settings #### Root Folder 1. Click on "Media Management" 2. Under Root Folders, add /mnt/arr-stack/media/movies #### Connect qBitTorrent 1. Click on "Download Clients" 2. Click on the big PLUS icon 3. Select qBitTorrent 4. Enter the IP Adress of your server 5. Port: 8081 6. Enter your username and passwort from earlier 7. Under Category enter tv 8. Check "Remove Completed" 9. Click on Test and Save #### Grab your API Token 1. Click on General 2. Copy API Key and save it for later. We need it for Prowlarr The same procedure goes for Lidarr and Whisparr aswell with their respective categories changed. ___ #### 3.4 Prowlarr 1. Open the Webui with http://ipofyourserver:9696 2. Click on Settings #### Connect Sonarr and Radarr 1. Click on Apps 2. Click on the big Plus Icon 3. Click on Sonarr 4. Sync Level "Full Sync" 5. Tags: none 6. Prowlarr Server: http://localhost:9696 7. Sonarr Server: http://ipofyourserver:8989 8. API Key from Sonarr 9. Test and Save 10. Rinse and Repeat for Radarr with adjusted infos #### Add Indexers 1. Click on Indexers 2. Click on Add Indexer 3. Type in the name of your indexer. Many of the big ones will be pre configures 4. Example: The Pirate Bay 5. Click on the entry 6. Check "Enable" 7. Sync Profile "Standard" 8. Under Base URL select the first one (you may have to cycle through if one of them doesn't work) 9. Enter your Seed Ratio 10. Test and Save Prowlarr will now test and sync the indexers to your other apps like Sonarr and Radarr. Manually click on Test all Inders and then on Sync all Indexers. Now go back to Sonarr and Radarr and click on Settings -> Indexers and check if Drunkenslug (in our example) shows up there. ___ # 4. You're done Now this is obviously just the tip of the iceberg. You still don't have "finetuned" profiles and explaining these would absolutely blow up the scope of this post. I highly recommend you to check out these two posts over on the [trash-guides](https://trash-guides.info/) site: [Sonarr Profiles](https://trash-guides.info/Sonarr/sonarr-collection-of-custom-formats/) and [Radarr Profiles](https://trash-guides.info/Radarr/Radarr-collection-of-custom-formats/) So, these are the basics and there is much more to finetune. But you absolutely are ready to go sailing on the high seas now!

Configuring each service Now that we have all these Services up and running. It's time to properly configure them. Let's start with SABnzbd ### 3.1 SABnzbd 1. Open the Webui with http://ipofyourserver:8080 2. Click on the settings icon (cog) in the upper right corner #### Configure Usenet providers (Servers) 1. Go to "Servers" 2. Enter your Usenet providers here. These are NOT the indexers like Drunkenslug. These are the server that actually host all the files; fastusenet.org, usenight.com, frugalusenet, etc. etc. You will find the specific addresses and ports to enter on your member-are on those sites. 3. Click on "Test Server" and make sure everything is running fine. #### Configure Folders 1. Go to "Folders" 2. Temporary Download Folder: If you have a fast SSD with enough storage you can use this. For this you would have to mount a new volume in your SABnzbd docker compose; e.G. /mnt/fastssd/temp and then configure it here. "Engough Storage" depends on your internet speed as this directory fills up while you download stuff. This is then getting moved over to the final location. So if you're on Gigabit internet, i just made sure to always have 100GB free on my temporary drive. 3. Completed Download Folder: /mnt/arr-stack/nzb/complete 4. Watched Folder: /mnt/arr-stack/nzb/watchfolder This is where you can then create new directories with the categories names (comes in next step). You can then place nzb files you manually loaded from a forum or something into these "watchfolders". Sab will then start to download these with that specific category set. This is useful for when Sonarr for example didn't find a release you like and you got something out of a forum. Downloading it with the category via Watchfolder will enable sonarr to actually see those manual downloads and allows you to import them easier. #### Configure Categories 1. Go to "Categories" 2. Find the row where it says "+Add" at the end. 3. In that row you create a tv category and click +Add 4. And one movies category and click +Add 5. You can change the priorities of each category as you like 6. Keep the "Folder/Path" filed empty #### Grab your API Token 1. Go to General 2. Copy the API Key We will need this key to be put in Sonarr, Radarr, etc. ___ ### 3.2 Sonarr 1. Open the Webui with http://ipofyourserver:8989 2. Click on Settings #### Root Folder 1. Click on "Media Management" 2. Under Root Folders, add /mnt/arr-stack/media/shows #### Connect SABnzbd 1. Click on "Download Clients" 2. Click on the big PLUS icon 3. Select SABnzbd 4. Enter the IP Adress of your server 5. Port: 8090 6. Check "Use SSL" 7. Enter the API Key you copied earlier 8. Under Category enter tv 9. Check "Remove Completed" and "Remove failed" 10. Click on Test and Save #### Grab your API Token 1. Click on General 2. Copy API Key and save it for later. We need it for Prowlarr ___ ### 3.3 Radarr 1.

Sonarr Server: http://ipofyourserver:8989 8. API Key from Sonarr 9. Test and Save 10. Rinse and Repeat for Radarr with adjusted infos #### Add Indexers 1. Click on Indexers 2. Click on Add Indexer 3. Type in the name of your indexer. Many of the big ones will be pre configures 4. Example: Drunkenslug 5. Click on the entry 6. Check "Enable" 7. Sync Profile "Standard" 8. Enter your API Key from Drunkenslug 9. Enter when your VIP Subscription will expire 10. Test and Save Prowlarr will now test and sync the indexers to your other apps like Sonarr and Radarr. Manually click on Test all Inders and then on Sync all Indexers. Now go back to Sonarr and Radarr and click on Settings -> Indexers and check if Drunkenslug (in our example) shows up there. ___ # 4. You're done Now this is obviously just the tip of the iceberg. You still don't have "finetuned" profiles and explaining these would absolutely blow up the scope of this post. I highly recommend you to check out these two posts over on the [trash-guides](https://trash-guides.info/) site: [Sonarr Profiles](https://trash-guides.info/Sonarr/sonarr-collection-of-custom-formats/) and [Radarr Profiles](https://trash-guides.info/Radarr/Radarr-collection-of-custom-formats/) Also if you still don't have a working indexer and just read this guide out of interest you have to actively search for them. Usenet servers like the ones i listed earlier are always open to register. Indexers however are not. Most of them are private and closed and only let you in on a few days per year or if you get an invite from another user. There are some communities that revolve around sharing invites. You will find them with looking for "usenet invites" So, these are the basics and there is much more to finetune. But as soon as you have an invite and registered for a host you absolutely are ready to go sailing on the high seas! If you're looking for a neat mobile app to manage your sonarr, radarr and sabnzbd i highly recommend you check out [nzb360](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kevinforeman.nzb360&hl=en).

Privacy RandomLegend • 2 months ago • 100%

Is there any up-to-date method to keep the Meta Quest 3 as privacy friendly as possilbe? I know it can't be made perfect, but maybe some known working block lists etc.? i'm thinking about getting one but their data hoarding is the reason i don't want to. Unless i can somehow make it less invasive.

My wife and I regularly misplace our phones in the house and we also keep them on mute like 99% of the time. Are there any apps that allow us to ping the other ones phone audibly despite it being on mute? One is a oneplus 6t the other a s23 ultra if that makes a difference EDIT: I found a solution i like; Homeassistant with TTS Notifications. Of couse you can still list some apps and solutions for others to find, but i am happy now!

Jellyfin: The Free Software Media System RandomLegend • 5 months ago • 90%

Hey guys! So maybe i understood something wrong or maybe my settings are way off. Any way, i need your help. I have two issues: 1. When i add a new show it SOMETIMES get's shown in "Latest Media / Latest Shows" sometimes it does not. For example, yesterday i added The Office, it was added to latest shows immediately, today i added Dracula and it's not added there despite me being able to find and watch it. 2. When watching an episode from a season that is not the very first it, the next episode will not be shown in Continue Watching. For example, i have all the Dimension 20 Seasons (i pay for Dropout but their video player is abysmal). Now i started to watch Season 20 and didn't watch the seasons before that. I watched the first episode of it, but it won't show me Episode 2 as "Continue Watching" or "Up Next" Is anyone else facing similar issues?

Heyho, does anyone know if an alternate or "modded" Android TV Version of the client exists? I'd love to have intro skipping on my NVidia Shield but as far as i know this isnt possible? I can install the server plugin but i have to mount a modified web client for that; Maybe this is different for the android tv version? Intro skipping is such a nice feature and i hope it someday gets upstreamed and properly implemented in all clients.

Heyho, i am a long time Plex user but since they go more and more corpo each day and i have a few .... otherwisely obtained assets in my library i want to make the switch to Jellyfin before i really HAVE to. Everything works great so far! But i have a DVB-C access on my router and it can create a m3u playlist for me to simply plug into VLC for example. On plex this was super easy and i just had to reorder some channels here and there and then everything worked great. Now i was able to put the m3u playlist into jellyfin and it manages to find the channels... but when i click on a channel i only get audio. the image stays black. My router shows me that the stream is going and shows the quality is good. Also plex was able to actually grab the metadata of all the shows running. Am i missing something?

FreeCAD RandomLegend • 7 months ago • 100%

Hello, so i just started to do some macro writing and had to get some help by ChatGPT because i am no programmer. But i made something useful for me. ``` import FreeCAD import PartDesignGui import Draft import Part import PartDesign from FreeCAD import Base doc_name = App.activeDocument().Label sels = FreeCADGui.Selection.getSelectionEx('', 0) facebinder1 = Draft.make_facebinder(sels[0]) facebinder2 = Draft.make_facebinder(sels[1]) Draft.autogroup(facebinder1) Draft.autogroup(facebinder2) FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.recompute() App.getDocument(doc_name).addObject('Part::Loft','Loft') App.getDocument(doc_name).ActiveObject.Sections=[App.getDocument(doc_name).Facebinder, App.getDocument(doc_name).Facebinder001, ] App.getDocument(doc_name).ActiveObject.Solid=True App.getDocument(doc_name).ActiveObject.Ruled=False App.getDocument(doc_name).ActiveObject.Closed=False ``` I select two faces from two bodies and it will create two seperate facebinders and performs a loft with those two. This allows me to make a loft in one fell swoop. However the facebinders created by the `Draft.make_facebinder(sels[X])` will always come out as Facerbinder and Facebinder001 and counting upwards. I don't see any way to change those names. Yes, i can do something with labels, but the following part of `App.getDocument(doc_name).ActiveObject.Sections=[App.getDocument(doc_name).Facebinder, App.getDocument(doc_name).Facebinder001, ]` doesn't seem to work with labels... As you can see Facebinder and Facebinder001 are hardcoded in there. Is there any way to either fully rename items so i could go for facebinder_temp1 and _temp2 and then rename them afterwards to make room for another _temp1 and _temp2 again or if i can somehow let the Loft function know what Facebinders were created prior? Sorry if this is a little bit unstructured i am bashing my head right now... maybe you can help me out here. Thanks! ___ EDIT: Solution was: ``` # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- # Macro Begin: /home/frank-garuda/.local/share/Ondsel/Macro/asfasdf.FCMacro +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ import FreeCAD import PartDesignGui import Draft import Part import PartDesign # Gui.runCommand('Std_DlgMacroRecord',0) ### Begin command Part_Loft from FreeCAD import Base # Get document name doc_name = App.activeDocument().Label # Gui.runCommand('Std_DlgMacroRecord',0) ### Begin command Std_Workbench # Gui.activateWorkbench("DraftWorkbench") ### End command Std_Workbench ### Begin command Draft_Facebinder sels = FreeCADGui.Selection.getSelectionEx('', 0) facebinder1 = Draft.make_facebinder(sels[0]) facebinder1.Label = "Facebinder_Loft_1" facebinder2 = Draft.make_facebinder(sels[1]) facebinder2.Label = "Facebinder_Loft_2" Draft.autogroup(facebinder1) Draft.autogroup(facebinder2) FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.recompute() App.getDocument(doc_name).addObject('Part::Loft','Loft') App.getDocument(doc_name).ActiveObject.Sections=[facebinder1, facebinder2, ] App.getDocument(doc_name).ActiveObject.Solid=True App.getDocument(doc_name).ActiveObject.Ruled=False App.getDocument(doc_name).ActiveObject.Closed=False ```

Hey Community! i vaguely remember a post from a couple weeks ago that was about some way to stream games (either via SteamLink or Moonlight/Sunshine) from a Linux Server to a mini-PC... I can't find it and i want to hear your opinions / experiences about this. I got a minisforum running BazziteOS hooked on my TV. I got a Server that has an Ryzen 5 2600X and NVidia GTX1660 Super with 16GB of RAM. This server runs my WhisperAPI for Home Assistant on GPU, Plex with HW-Transcoding that's why i put the GPU in there. Now i thought about making it able to run games on that and be able to stream them on my MinisForum because the little one is struggling hard to get BG3 and comparable titles to run at acceptable quality :D Does someone have experience with that or maybe even remembers the post i can't find anymore :D

Hey guys, i just found out that we can self-host excalidraw. And i love this tool and want to use it on my own hardware... but i didn't get the collaboration running because i apparently only hosted the client but not the server. Now i just don't want to set up everything by hand via npm... does someone know of a handy-dandy docker-compose that has everything needed hand in hand? Thanks in advance!

We all are pretty annoyed at how the printer industry is screwing customers over. There are a few printers that are really good but most of them suck and try to suck out your money by demanding ink when none is needed. And i also know that it's nearly impossible to create an open-source printer that can be build by smaller businesses like the 3D printing space can do. But are there any projects underway to reverse-engineer printer firmware and make it possible to flash the custom ROM onto a printer? No specific manufacturer in mind right now, but wouldn't that make things better? Simply disable all the stupid checks that claim that you NEED ink to scan or that you NEED yellow to print a black text?
