I recently got a nice office chair for Christmas with heated massage functionality and it uses a barrel plug to power it but I have to be super careful to not pull it or damage the barrel connector in any way. I wish there was a magnet conector for these things in case of a yank pull and was wondering if anyone had heard of some adapter like the one I pictured above.

As someone who didn't grow up in the US, I don't have a large family here, nor do we have any thanksgiving traditions outside of turkey or ham for dinner. But I wanted to learn some new traditions, specially some I can do with adults as my kids are in college.

No awards are needed, just wanted to share my excitement that while my Jellyfin server still keeps loosing my entire library every 24 hours at least now it has a domain and ssl cert!

That is all. Happy Friday everyone

Hi everyone, I have Truenas core running on an old desktop at home. For the past year everything has been going great. However for the past month or so I started to notice that my SMB share for Jellyfin was getting reset to some 6 movies. All of my home videos, music, TV shows, and other movies where gone. I have a backup drive where I store all this data so I copied the files back and Jellyfin saw them immediately again... but by the next day all where gone again. At first I thought someone had deleted them by accident so I checked the user access of my family members and no one except me has access to delete movies and the logs don't show any media deletion that I wasn't aware of (I found 2 duplicated movies). The server isn't exposed in any way to the internet except for a VPN connection that I keep closed tabs regarding access. I checked the permissions of Jellyfin's container in my Truenas server and both UID and GID are set to 568 per the Internet's recommendation when I set it up originally. My server is running on two 4TB HDDs configured in a mirror. I checked the health of both drives and both show healthy and without errors. I still suspect that when the server syncs the data, that somehow the data from the wrong drive is overwriting the data of the one with the media and deleting it, but I don't know enough on how to check.

Please let me know if you need more information and how to get it, as I am a complete noob when it comes to servers but I am trying to learn.

Thanks y'all

UPDATE: Some have suggested that my Syncthings server could have been the issue, however turning off the server has not fixed the issue and once again files got deleted.

UPDATE 2: I looked at the SMB logs and noticed a bunch of "Unlink" events that seem to be running every morning around 7am and go over every one of my media files. I am assuming "Unlink" means delete somehow, but I can't determine what is calling it.

UPDATE 3: It was Jellyfin deleting the media. I just caught it red-handed.

UPDATE 4: Final update. After deleting my installation and SMB share from my Truenas and reinstalling everything, the deletion issue is now apparently gone. As an extra precaution when installing Jellyfin, I made sure to check the "Read Only" for it's access to the SMB share to make sure it cannot delete any media even if it REALLY wants to.

Seriously, what's even the point of voting if a judge can overturn the voice of the greater majority?

A little bit ago some asked a question about why the hate of the blockchain, and that got me thinking if there even was a legitimate use case where the blockchain would be beneficial, but I couldn't think of one outside maybe some sort of decentralized bank, but before I knew I was thinking it would instantly turn into some crypto scheme and strapped it, because crypto currencies are a scam on every level -- and no they aren't private or secret as some think either.

So I wanted to ask the community. Instead of using the blockchain for crypto, is there a better use where the blockchain could benefit society?

Hey everyone, I was entertaining the thought of going away from owning a smart phone.

I already have a modded ipod classic that I use as my main music player.

I also know how to use a paper map.

I also have the Microsoft authentication app for work (I could just use my phone on wifi mode for this)

The last issue I have is WhatsApp where I communicate with friends and family around the world.

Is there a way to use WhatsApp on a non-smart phone? Or should I just buy a pixel and install a secure rom?

So, I have been giving this a lot of thought and come November I won't be voting for team blue or team red in the upcoming elections, but I will be voting for a candidate I belive in.

I have decided that my vote will go to Claudia de la Cruz because she lines up with my beliefs.

Some might say that I'm throwing away my vote and that this will just let Trump become president since I'm not giving Biden my vote, but honestly he doesn't represent me anyways and why should I vote for a party that doesn't deserve my vote anyway?

I hope Trump goes down in flames all the way to hell where he will have pineapples shoved up his ass while dressed as a French maid, but if the Dems loose in November, it won't be because me or many others just didn't vote for them, it will be because they did not do anything to show us they deserve out vote.

Sure Biden has done a bunch of stuff for the American people, but I just can't look away with the horror of what is happening in Palestine and be ok with him or other dems calling anyone who sympathizes with Palestinians as being pro Hamas or pro terrorism.

Sorry to anyone who isn't in the US and sees this post, I know the US politics are super annoying for you all, but I just wanted to get this off my chest.

TL;DR - I'm not voting for Biden just because Trump bad. I'm voting for someone who represents me.

Hi everyone, every time I setup a Pi project server I have a hard time since I can only access that device from the computer where I created the image since I add the SSH key during setup, but I would like to be able to ssh from my android and my other laptop in case I'm out on the road and away from home.

How can I add the other keys for the other devices to a single Pi without using the user name and password as this is also given me problems because ssh wants to try using keys and if it does not find them it just fails instead of asking me to enter the password (also, because it's not really safe).
