  • Depends on what kind of sprinkler system and how old it is. Some of them are closed systems and the water stays stagnant until it’s set off, so when it finally goes the water itself is a hazard because it’s been sitting potentially for years. It tends to come out very disgusting, black sludge that smells like actual shit. And then you have a whole specialized response and cleanup required because it’s loaded with bacteria.

    They won’t clean it though, they’ll piss away more money to hire specialized cleaners and contractors to fix the damage








  • It will never be as sturdy as it was and will likely deform, which may compromise its ability to seal and hold pressure reliably.

    Epoxy/silica introduces food safety concerns (assuming this is in the path of pressurized, boiling water), and assuming OP is not a person that typically does repairs introduces cost as well. A small pack of epoxy, which is more than enough, is probably like $5-7. I don’t know how much silica is but that’s not necessary, tbf. If OP doesn’t do this kind of stuff often the excess is wasted, essentially, and you’re already at almost 50% of the cost of the replacement part for a chance at a a fix that might not work or be food safe.

    Buy the replacement part



  • Oh right! In admin console under server>general at the bottom there is a section called “performance”. Under this the first entry is “parallel library scan tasks limit”. Increasing this can significantly improve performance here. If it’s empty it is auto selecting. To that point if you’re running jellyfin in a docker and only allow it access to one core that would seriously limit performance here. Screenshot below, I currently have it set to 2 because I’ve done the “big” scan and I don’t need my cpu hammered when jellyfin does library scans

    Additionally an issue I ran into later: under playback>transcoding enable hardware transcoding must be checked. Trickplay task was taking literal months because even though I had configured igpu transcoding correctly this has to be enabled separately. UX stuff like this is where jellyfin needs more polish; I’m sure there’s debate about this but why would this not default to on once transcoding is enabled? Who knows. Maybe just oversight.






  • Interesting. I will say music is the weakest point of jellyfin db. Mine is currently good but I nuked my db for the new db style in 10.11 and created a new db, mainly bc of issues within music library. But this went back to like 10.9 and were probably from me fucking around in the db manually to try and override tags. I’ve since retagged my music as it was just the easier solution (artist ft artist got me all fucked up, I hated having 900 entries for like 1 artist who did frequent collabs)

    This is the issue thread re the very long scanning after upgrading to 10.11

    Edit: also one thing I learned from the db editing and again from the 10.11 migration is that the jellyfin db can get “stuck” in such a way that nothing I can find will overwrite db entries, even manually opening the db in an sql editor (which makes me think there are hard to find tables I could never track down but db stuff is not my forte so I dunno)


  • I found the link

    “Library scans are expected to take (way) longer in 10.11 because we are now a) properly validating all existing data and b) properly applying concurrency limits. Usually only the first scan after the upgrade takes significantly longer because it will fix some data inconsistencies we can not repair while doing the initial migrations. Any subsequent scan should be faster but if you add a lot of new files it will still take longer than before because of the concurrency limit.”

    From the thread for people with more realistic media libraries like yours (5-20tb) the initial scan is more like a few hours. However, if you’re like me and hoard shit expect it to potentially take days


  • Do you have music? I don’t know this for sure but I also wonder if music collections slow things down. My music collection is pretty massive (like 40% of my storage) and it’s a shitload of files to index.

    Thankfully I don’t put my books in jellyfin because my ebook/manga library is also pretty massive. If the apocalypse occurs I’m set for the 2-3 days I’d have power after the end of times
