  • One thing you probably need to figure out first: how are the dgpu and igpu connected to each other, and then which ports are connected to which gpu.

    Everyone does funky shit with this, and you’ll sometimes have dgpus that require the igpu to do anything, or cases where the internal panel is only hooked up to the igpu (or only the dgpu), and the hdmi and display port and so on can be any damn thing.

    So uh, before you get too deep in planning what gets which gpu, you probably need to see if the outputs you need support what you want to do.







  • Looks like others have provided MOST of the answers.

    Radarr/sonarr do the heavy lifting making symlinks where symlinks are required, but there’s still the occasional bit of manual downloading.

    I also have a script that’ll check for broken symlinks like once a week and notify me of them and I’ll go through and clean them up occasionally, but that’s not super common and only happens if I’m manually removing content I made manual symlinks for, since I’ll just let radarr/sonarr deal with it otherwise.

    (The full stack is jellyseerr -> radarr/sonarr -> qbittorrent/sabnzb -> links for jellyfin)



  • So, this is a ~15 year old laptop?

    The first two things that immediately come to mind when you’re kernel panicing is bad ram, and bad cpu temperatures.

    Thermal paste doesn’t last forever, and it’s worth checking if your CPU or GPU are overheating, and repasting if so.

    And, as always, a memtest is a quick and easy step to rule that out - I’d say half the “weird crashes” I’ve ever seen ends up being bad ram and well, at least it’s cheap and easy to replace?












  • two commands: dd and resize2fs, assuming you’re using ext4 and not something more exotic.

    one makes a block-level copy of one device to another like so: dd if=/dev/source-drive of=/dev/destination-drive

    the other is used to resize the filesystem from whatever size it was, to whatever size you tell it (or the whole disk; I’d have to go read a manpage since it’s been a bit)

    the dd is completely safe, but the resize2fs command can break things, but you’d still have the data on the original drive, so you could always start over if it does - i’d unplug the source drive before you start doing any expansion stuff.
