  • One of the issues with multiple devices is networking. Transferring totally legit files for the Arr stack to and from the NAS can be a lot of data. Keeping it all in one system means your speeds up to that point are SATA speeds vs ethernet.

    For the OP, one file with hard linking is my goal, but I only use Usenet. I rip anything that comes down with Tdarr to strip languages, normalize audio and rip to H265. If you do that with torrents, you will need to keep the original for seeding.


  • I want to add, you will likely find your own solutions to these problems to make things more bearable. But you’ll likely be on your own in the process. The office is made for and made up predominately of an idea of business perfection and mostly contains neurotypical people. They will not understand your issues if you ask for ways to navigate your needs and the environment. But, you will likely find the things you need to manage. It might be a little scary and overwhelming at first. But it’s definitely not impossible. Give it some time before giving up and you might even find new ways to thrive.

    You will quickly find that neurotypical people also find their own ways to cope in this environment. They’ll just seem more normal to everyone when they do it.


  • This is just my experience. Every workplace is a bit different, but I think my answers will be generally applicable.

    • Are people going to be annoyed at me if I fidget, move around, and pace a lot? Yes
    • Are people going to be like, constantly looking at my screen? Am I going to feel judged the whole time Yes
    • I have the classic ADHD “do double the work in half the time, do nothing the other half”. Am I going to be judged on my work output, or how busy I make myself look?
      Busy work is going to be the most important aspect of your time. Looking busy without being busy is an important art
    • If I have downtime, would it be acceptable to read a book or something?
      No
    • If I have a chat with my coworker sitting next to me, is the whole office going to hear it? Am I going to be interrupting and bothering everyone? Everyone will hear and short conversations are often considered fine
    • Did you disclose ADHD to your boss? Did you get any accommodations for it? Not ADHD but anxiety and depression. They don’t really care. Make sure you do the paperwork for FMLA to cover your ass if behaviors become disruptive in your environment

  • Have you set up jellyfish at your home, given access to a friend outside of your network who could not setup Jellyfin themselves, and successfully got them playing on their TV, table tablet, and/or phone? Have you been able to set them up without them having to call you every week?

    Yes. It’s very easy. It might not have used to be easy but it is for the last couple of years. Dead simple. About a dozen people use my Jellyfin server across TV’s, phones, tablets, laptops. None of them are what I would call techies. It’s as simple for them as Netflix.
