  • 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.

  • 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.
