Quick Organizr Update

The new FreeNas box has been working great. I have decided to play with Organizr a bit more and have added Monitorr. I tried to get it to work in a FreeNas jail, but honestly got pissed at the whole process. So I decided to install a RancherOS VM in my ESX and play with that. I am still trying to understand how to use docker better, but I have Monitorr running in a container there. Its been a bit painful, but got to learn sometime. I then added the monitorr service status bar to my organizr using various tutorials. I may go back at some point and either install RancherOS on my FreeNas or try a jail again but its good enough for now :) I have also added a Tautulli jail but there isn't much to say about that other than it works to gather some stats on my Plex, easy enough to look into on your own.


I have also added a cheap $16 light bulb camera to my Zoneminder install. The camera isn't super great but for the cost I can't really complain and its only watching a small area of my back door patio the software and setup is pretty crappy, but it will work. 


Just a quick update on things I am playing with. Otherwise, I may make a post about some of the work that's about to get done on my truck. I have a fuel injector on my F-250 that I have been limping along for almost 2 years, but its finally gotten bad enough I am going to have to fix it. So I figured it I have to take apart the top end of one side of the engine might as well change all 4 on that side with almost 140K on the dial. I also ordered a blue spring fuel pressure kit, and a coolant filter since the 6.0 had a lot of issues with that I should take care of it before it potentially becomes a problem or at least hopefully reduce the chance.

All things Organized

As I mentioned in my last post I was tired of having a folder full of bookmarks to get to everything on my network...I have a bunch of stuff and it sucks. So I had seen someone discussing Organizr ( https://organizr.app/ ) a while back and thought yep its time to make this work. So I set up a new jail on my new FreeNas server as I mentioned in the last post and got to work. So after quite a bit of experimentation, reading, playing, downloading custom JPEGs etc this is where I ended up at. A landing page with all my links that can be easily updated as needed. There are some people out there doing some awesome things with it and I may add more things over time. So here is a few screenshots etc. Some items do not like being in an iframe and some I just let pop out to their own windows. Just depends on how they act.  As I also mentioned the other day I finally got around to getting Lidarr installed in a jail as well. ( https://lidarr.audio/ ) I have been a little l

Finished SVS upgrades

Image
 Finally replaced my last 2 Polk T-15 surrounds with SVS satellites, not a huge improvement in any way but call it my OCD I like having all the base channels the same. SVS was having a sale on them for 124 each in Piano black. The post on their outlet said they were missing threads on the back, but I can't see anything wrong with them and they have the wall mounting hardware on them...soooo i dunno maybe just a bit overstocked and wanted to get rid of some. I do need to find some better stands as the stands I have do not close tight enough to hold them. I just took some of the cloth from the box and wrapped some door/window shims with it to hold them for now until I find something better.  But it took the better part of 2 years slowly buying the pieces but my main stereo has all been upgraded.  SVS Prime Pinnacles - Piano Black SVS Prime Center - Black ash SVS Prime Elevation - Black ash SVS Satellites - Piano Black 2 Monolith 12 inch Subwoofers - Black ash 1 Polk 12 PSW-505  (prob

Little Healthcare/Cash for Clunkers Humor

Not much to post today but the following Clunker  Math The person who calculated this bit of information is now and has been a professor at The University of West Virginia in Morgantown, West Virginia for the last forty some years. A clunker that travels 12,000 miles a year at 15 mpg uses 800 gallons of gas a year. The government claims 700,000 clunkers have been replaced so that’s 224 million gallons saved per year. A vehicle  that travels 12,000 miles a year at 25 mpg uses 480 gallons of gas a year. So, the average Cash for Clunkers transaction will reduce gasoline consumption by 320 gallons per year. That  equates to a bit over 5 million barrels of oil~5 million barrels is about 5 hours worth of US consumption. More importantly, 5 million barrels of oil at $70 per barrel costs about $350 million dollars. So, the government paid $3 billion of our tax dollars to save  $350   million.... We  spent  $8.57  for every  $1.00  we saved .   I’m pretty sure they will do a bette
