Usually a lurker.
Maybe I should’ve just shut up and thought for a bit longer before writing that comment…
If you want to talk to me elsewhere, you know how to reach me.
I would start using lidarr instead. Uses musicbrainz as well and can do the library management as well. Imo better than something like picard.
I only used picard in the beginning to fix my unsorted library and prepare for import in lidarr.
Yesterday I spent close to 1½h to fix my genres in my music library.
There were some entries like EDM;Dance;Pop;Dubstep Instead of individual entries.
For specific entries I think you’d need to refresh + replace all metadata entries in the metadata or fixing the entry with the correct release group id.
I use .nfo files alongside the media. I usually delete them when some metadata get’s “stuck” during refreshes.
Maybe NFS share the drive from guest to host?
Probably writing to the whole disk with something like dd and then testing if they can read it.
I heard some advices with “burning them in” by running a stress test over the span of some days with random IO. If they survive, great. If they die, they will be returned.
my pleasure if I can help :)
Many (most?) residential internet service providers do not allow self hosting websites on their network and they’d be dynamic IP anyway though you could work around that somewhat with dynamic DNS since you’re going to need to purchase a domain name and point it to somewhere anyway.
That’s what I already do.
cloudflare-ddns, own domain and done. Except for reliability at night where the ISP reboots my DSL connection at 4am.

What we usually do is using an SMTP relay.
Plus points on having a spam protection service included and in front of the mail server.
As an employee of an MSP it’s sometimes really annoying how some smaller one-man-army + employee MSPs do “crafty” setups on site and meaningless firewall rules to work against.
and email can be hosted sooo cheap these times. My ionos contract just to have my own domain costs me maybe 10€ per month.
- 2 servers for reundancy, preferably 3rd one laying around for a quick swap
Overkill for a small startup. We sell to medical practices and they get (at most) a small tower server from HPE (ML30). Backup servers can either be a small 2 bay NAS or a microserver depending on the needs
Pretty decent UPS setup, again multiple units for reundancy
If they can afford that. Most are already good by just using a decent online UPS.
Routers, network hardware, internet uplinks and everything at least duplicated and configured correctly to keep things running
Not a multi million company.
Routers: BS.
Network: Maybe 2x 16 port switches but too much overhead. 1x 48 Port if you really need that.
Internet uplinks: If you have a satellite office and need the S2S-VPN to be constantly up.
Btw: You didnt mention a duplicated phone line ;P
- A separate backup solution, on at least two different physical locations, so a few more servers and their network, power and other stuff taken care of
Again overkill.
Backup on the server with something to a 2-Bay NAS and a secondary job with rotating external USB disks to take or somewhere external with you.
Monitoring, alerting system in case of failures, someone being on-call for 24/7
Monitoring: Yep
Alerting: Done by monitoring in the best circumstance
On-call 24/7: As this is a small company: LOL
Not fear but you need to have the respect it deserves.
Had a similar issue migrating to my new setup after I started scanning the new archive.
Try increasing your swap disk.
Mine was set at 1GB but increased it later to 8GB. No more freezes of the host.
Also makes it much simpler to set up backups and migrate the compute-focused pc to a new OS without needing to look much after the files
Connected my NAS 10GbE directly to my proxmox 2.5GbE interface.
Set up the IP as static with jumbo frames and voilá direct NFS storage.
Took me 4 weeks to get it all together but man was it satisfying to see it work.

While not painless I think I learned a substantial amount on how Posix permissions work and confirms why native ACLs while more complicated are superior.
Also learned a bit about Samba, fstab and NFS c:
Dev discontinued the app due to google being difficult to maintain.
I don’t wanna ask if and how much individuals contributed to the ones that host their instances ;)
AWS Snowflake, ball?
What’s next? Glacier? /s
