Can anyone help me with this?

Run ‘docker container ls -a’ and you should see the first container still there. Then do ‘docker container rm {insert-container-id-here}’. That will remove the initial container that failed. Rerun your second command and you should be gtg.

Edit: don’t include the quotes.

Favourite Software for hosting E-Books

Using a Kobo reader with Calibre & Calibre-web to serve the books.

Setup a shelf on web, create a sync token on web. Add token to the Kobo config, automatically syncs any books that are added to the shelf. This replaces the Kobo store api for syncing, but I don’t use it so no biggie for me.

LineageOS is apparently not private?

Not to be that guy but do you really trust an "unofficial port" you found on Telegram? That seems, to me, just as problematic as blindly trusting Google.

Has this port been tested for behavior that's non-standard in LineageOS? Random ports distributed in channels such as Telegram do not instill much confidence that it's legit and not riddled with spyware/malwnare.

I don't have a solution for you but I'd think twice about installing any OS that isn't distributed (or at least validated by) via official channels.

File size preference for Radarr?

Reply in thread

The guide doesn’t set an upper bound on the UHD quality profiles, but that doesn’t mean you have to set up yours exactly the same.

I have mine set with reasonable limits and have never run into a problem with file size, just have to make sure you’re setting the values to something that’s a) realistic and b) that you can live with.

One thing to note: if you set your threshold cutoffs properly you don’t have to worry about downloading files that are always at the upper end of the limit. Once the service downloads a file that meets the threshold it stops downloading for that episode/movie. If it grabs a file that’s below the threshold, it will keep trying to upgrade the file until the threshold is met.

Advice for setting up baremetal k8s lab

I've been setting up a baremetal Talos-based cluster on 4 SFF machines and using Flux to declaratively deploy things to the cluster. Once you wrap your head around how Flux operates, deploying things becomes fairly straightforward.

For me, the most difficult process was deploying the cluster properly, but the recent-ish video posted on the Tailscale YT channel helped a LOT.

Me again. I'm glad I finally took the dive!

As long as your important data is safe, go mess things up. Break things, read the docs, reinstall if necessary. This is how we all learn.

I can't count the number of times I've had to reinstall because I attempted a fix that made things worse. It's not the end of the world... In fact each time you do you'll be better at it.

When your data is safe (backed up or stored on a NAS) the reinstall stakes are a lot lower so there's not as much pressure to keep things perfect. Figure out how to automate your computer's config (I use ansibe) and it's even lower. When that is setup you could reinstall and be ready to go in under an hour.
