As A Matter Of Fact, I had to google that because I've never seen anyone use that abbreviation.
Are you using Trash Guides? https://trash-guides.info/Hardlinks/How-to-setup-for/Docker/
Mounting the iSCSI to the docker host and then sharing the volumes to docker containers might not be so crazy in terms of hard linking. Though I'll admit I'm not too familiar with iSCSI and I'm assuming it's a block device and you create a file system (e.g. ext4) on top, where the file system would support hard links.
I hadn't heard of Trash Guides before I first set mine up and I did it all poorly (used 2x the storage than I needed) and realised too late, so hopefully this helps!
I think you have to be quick (within minutes). I've been in the discord but by the time I see the announcements and read the message they're already closed.
Have a look at sonarr, radarr, and prowlarr. Combined with a torrent client these can manage all of the searching, downloading and organising of TV and movies which should automate all your pain points.
Im not sure if this is in the trash guides mentioned already, but I wanted to leave more breadcrumbs for you and others in case they're helpful!
Have you considered using docker to install it as a container? I haven't used this one specifically but run all my *arr apps as docker containers which avoids these dependency type issues.
Sorry I couldn't help with the question you asked though 😔
It looks like it's in a binary format and is printing control characters because it isn't a format intended to be viewed/edited. You could try opening it in a hex editor and see if you can make any sense from that.
Why don't you see elephants hiding in trees?
- They're very good at it
Why do elephants paint their testicles red?
- So they can hide in cherry trees
What's the loudest sound in the jungle?
- Giraffes eating cherries
You can put whatever you wish inside of YAS-BDSM as long as everyone is having a good time.
Feel free to use it (or get used by it).
I have Jellyfin running on a NUC which has mounted a few NFS shares that are hosted on my NAS, haven't had any issues. I just added the nfs mounts to fstab and it works seamlessly.
It might be comparable to sitting at a cafe or on a park bench and watching all the people go by without talking to each of them.
