Just keep in mind that this particular Flow uses NVIDIA encoding, so you&apos;ll need a GPU from that manufacturer to take full advantage of it. Even if you don&apos;t have an NVIDIA GPU, you can still use my pre-made Flow. It&apos;ll just do the encoding work on your computer&apos;s CPU instead of utilizing your graphics card for faster processing.</p><p>Double clicking on the &quot;Video Encode&quot; box will allow you to view and change the settings for that task.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://noted.lol/content/images/2024/10/fileflows-video-encode-noted.png" class="kg-image" alt="FileFlows - Self-Hosted Media Conversion Guide" loading="lazy" width="701" height="571" srcset="https://noted.lol/content/images/size/w600/2024/10/fileflows-video-encode-noted.png 600w, https://noted.lol/content/images/2024/10/fileflows-video-encode-noted.png 701w"></figure><p>I&apos;ve thoroughly tested various settings and landed on what works best for me.

This stuff can be tricky to understand, though. Just because a newer GPU like the 4060ti has more VRAM doesn&apos;t necessarily mean it&apos;s more powerful - in fact, my older 2080ti is actually faster due to its higher memory bandwidth.

Most of the files converted are MKV, and I&apos;ve managed to save around 4TB of space. To avoid any conflicts with other tasks that run at specific times, I&apos;ve scheduled FileFlows to disable conversions from 5am-7am each day. This allows my system to focus on tasks like running SnapRAID sync, which likes to have a quiet environment when it&apos;s doing its thing.</p><h2 id="final-notes-and-thoughts">Final Notes and Thoughts</h2><p>I&apos;ve been using FileFlows for about a year now, and it&apos;s been saving me terabytes of space and automating a tedious process. When I had some initial issues setting it up, the developer was super helpful in getting me sorted out. If you&apos;re new to FileFlows, I&apos;d recommend joining their <a href="https://fileflows.com/discord?ref=noted.lol">Discord server</a> where you can see examples from other users and ask questions if you need help along the way.</p><p>Overall, I&apos;m extremely satisfied with FileFlows and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to optimize their file management workflow. It&apos;s a reliable, efficient tool that has saved me a huge amount of time and storage space. With the support of a helpful community, there&apos;s no reason not to give it a try!</p><h3 id="listen-to-the-podcast-version">Listen to the Podcast Version</h3><div class="kg-card kg-audio-card"><img src="https://noted.lol/content/media/2024/10/FileFlows-Podcast_thumb.jpg" alt="FileFlows - Self-Hosted Media Conversion Guide" class="kg-audio-thumbnail"><div class="kg-audio-thumbnail placeholder kg-audio-hide"><svg width="24" height="24" fill="none"><path fill-rule="evenodd" clip-rule="evenodd" d="M7.5 15.33a.75.75 0 1 0 0 1.5.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.5Zm-2.25.75a2.25 2.25 0 1 1 4.5 0 2.25 2.25 0 0 1-4.5 0ZM15 13.83a.75.75 0 1 0 0 1.5.75.75 0 0 0 0-1.5Zm-2.25.75a2.25 2.25 0 1 1 4.5 0 2.25 2.25 0 0 1-4.5 0Z"/><path fill-rule="evenodd" clip-rule="evenodd" d="M14.486 6.81A2.25 2.25 0 0 1 17.25 9v5.579a.75.75 0 0 1-1.5 0v-5.58a.75.75 0 0 0-.932-.727.755.755 0 0 1-.059.013l-4.465.744a.75.75 0 0 0-.544.72v6.33a.75.75 0 0 1-1.5 0v-6.33a2.25 2.25 0 0 1 1.763-2.194l4.473-.746Z"/><path fill-rule="evenodd" clip-rule="evenodd" d="M3 1.5a.75.75 0 0 0-.75.75v19.5a.75.75 0 0 0 .75.75h18a.75.75 0 0 0 .75-.75V5.133a.75.75 0 0 0-.225-.535l-.002-.002-3-2.883A.75.75 0 0 0 18 1.5H3ZM1.409.659A2.25 2.25 0 0 1 3 0h15a2.25 2.25 0 0 1 1.568.637l.003.002 3 2.883a2.25 2.25 0 0 1 .679 1.61V21.75A2.25 2.25 0 0 1 21 24H3a2.25 2.25 0 0 1-2.25-2.25V2.25c0-.597.237-1.169.659-1.591Z"/></svg></div><div class="kg-audio-player-container"><audio src="https://noted.lol/content/media/2024/10/FileFlows-Podcast.wav" preload="metadata"></audio><div class="kg-audio-title">FileFlows Podcast</div><div class="kg-audio-player"><button class="kg-audio-play-icon" aria-label="Play audio"><svg viewbox="0 0 24 24"><path d="M23.14 10.608 2.253.164A1.559 1.559 0 0 0 0 1.557v20.887a1.558 1.558 0 0 0 2.253 1.392L23.14 13.393a1.557 1.557 0 0 0 0-2.785Z"/></svg></button><button class="kg-audio-pause-icon kg-audio-hide" aria-label="Pause audio"><svg viewbox="0 0 24 24"><rect x="3" y="1" width="7" height="22" rx="1.5" ry="1.5"/><rect x="14" y="1" width="7" height="22" rx="1.5" ry="1.5"/></svg></button><span class="kg-audio-current-time">0:00</span><div class="kg-audio-time">/<span class="kg-audio-duration">534.92</span></div><input type="range" class="kg-audio-seek-slider" max="100" value="0"><button class="kg-audio-playback-rate" aria-label="Adjust playback speed">1&#xD7;</button><button class="kg-audio-unmute-icon" aria-label="Unmute"><svg viewbox="0 0 24 24"><path d="M15.189 2.021a9.728 9.728 0 0 0-7.924 4.85.249.249 0 0 1-.221.133H5.25a3 3 0 0 0-3 3v2a3 3 0 0 0 3 3h1.794a.249.249 0 0 1 .221.133 9.73 9.73 0 0 0 7.924 4.85h.06a1 1 0 0 0 1-1V3.02a1 1 0 0 0-1.06-.998Z"/></svg></button><button class="kg-audio-mute-icon kg-audio-hide" aria-label="Mute"><svg viewbox="0 0 24 24"><path d="M16.177 4.3a.248.248 0 0 0 .073-.176v-1.1a1 1 0 0 0-1.061-1 9.728 9.728 0 0 0-7.924 4.85.249.249 0 0 1-.221.133H5.25a3 3 0 0 0-3 3v2a3 3 0 0 0 3 3h.114a.251.251 0 0 0 .177-.073ZM23.707 1.706A1 1 0 0 0 22.293.292l-22 22a1 1 0 0 0 0 1.414l.009.009a1 1 0 0 0 1.405-.009l6.63-6.631A.251.251 0 0 1 8.515 17a.245.245 0 0 1 .177.075 10.081 10.081 0 0 0 6.5 2.92 1 1 0 0 0 1.061-1V9.266a.247.247 0 0 1 .073-.176Z"/></svg></button><input type="range" class="kg-audio-volume-slider" max="100" value="100"></div></div></div>";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}}}i:3;a:6:{s:4:"data";s:0:"";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";s:5:"child";a:4:{s:0:"";a:6:{s:5:"title";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:53:"Excalidraw - A Self Hosted Diagram and Drawing Portal";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:11:"description";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:155:"Excalidraw is a self-hosted, freehand drawing and diagramming tool that allows users to create and collaborate on simple, visual representations of ideas.

playlists directly to their computer or device, without having to manually copy and paste links or navigate through the YouTube website.</p><p><strong>Offline access</strong>: By downloading videos with ytdl-sub, users can enjoy their favorite content offline, whether they&apos;re on a plane, in an area with poor internet connectivity, or just want to reduce their data usage.</p><p><strong>Easier playlist management</strong>: ytdl-sub allows users to download entire playlists at once, making it easy to manage and organize their favorite videos in one place.</p><p><strong>No ads</strong>: By downloading videos directly, users can avoid watching ads and enjoy their content without interruptions.</p><p><strong>Support for multiple formats</strong>: ytdl-sub often supports the ability to download videos in various formats (e.g. MP4, WEBM, etc.), giving users more flexibility when it comes to playing back their downloaded content.</p><h2 id="install-ytdl-sub-on-linux">Install YTDL-Sub on Linux</h2><p>Today&apos;s focus will be on installing ytdl-sub directly on Linux, using a Debian-based system like Ubuntu. We&apos;ve had success with this method and found it to work better than using Docker for our specific use case, the additional control over cron jobs was particularly beneficial.</p><p>To get started with ytdl-sub, you&apos;ll need to have FFmpeg installed on your system. Simply run&#xA0;<code>apt install ffmpeg</code>&#xA0;in the terminal to get it set up. You should also be comfortable using basic Linux commands and navigating the terminal environment, especially when working with crontab. Don&apos;t worry if that sounds like a lot, I&apos;ll walk you through each step of the process here.</p><p>Navigate to the directory where you&apos;d like to store the project files. For example, I keep mine in&#xA0;<code>/mnt/utilities/ytdl-sub</code>. From there, use&#xA0;<code>curl</code>&#xA0;to download the file, set its permissions accordingly, and then test the script to ensure everything is working as expected</p><pre><code>curl -L -o ytdl-sub https://github.com/jmbannon/ytdl-sub/releases/latest/download/ytdl-sub
chmod +x ytdl-sub
./ytdl-sub -h</code></pre><p>You should now see the ytdl-sub file when using the <code>ls</code> command.</p><p>Now we need to create two files. The configuration file and the subscriptions YAML files.</p><p>Type <code>nano config.yaml</code> and paste the following:</p><pre><code>configuration:
working_directory: &apos;.working_directory&apos;</code></pre><p>Press <code>Ctrl X</code> then <code>Y</code> then <code>Enter</code> to save the file.</p><p>This config.yaml file tells ytdl-sub that we are storing files temporarily in this directory. All videos, metadata and images will be temporarily stored here until later transferred to your desired <code>tv_show_directory</code> seen in the subscriptions file below.</p><p>Type <code>nano subscriptions.yaml</code> and paste the following:</p><pre><code># subscriptions.yaml:
# Everything in here can be downloaded using the command:
# ytdl-sub sub subscriptions.yaml
# __preset__ is a place to define global overrides for all subscriptions
__preset__:
overrides:
# Root folder of all ytdl-sub TV Shows
tv_show_directory: &quot;/mnt/media/Youtube/Jeremy&quot;
# For &apos;Only Recent&apos; preset, only keep vids within this range and limit
only_recent_date_range: &quot;2months&quot;
only_recent_max_files: 5
###################################################################
# Subscriptions nested under this will use the
# `Plex TV Show by Date` preset.
#
# Can choose between:
# - Plex TV Show by Date:
# - Jellyfin TV Show by Date:
# - Kodi TV Show by Date:
Jellyfin TV Show by Date | max_1080p:
# Sets genre tag to &quot;Documentaries&quot;
= Youtube | Only Recent:
&quot;Noted&quot;: &quot;https://www.youtube.com/@selfhosted&quot;</code></pre><p>Press <code>Ctrl X</code> then <code>Y</code> then <code>Enter</code> to save the file.</p><p>This subscriptions.yaml tells ytdl-sub to fetch the latest 5 YouTube videos from my channel, covering a time frame of up to 2 months back, in 1080p MP4 format and store them in <code>/mnt/media/Youtube/Jeremy</code>. The metadata is also being formatted with <code>Jellyfin TV Show by Date</code>, which will allow the video content to be displayed and organized just like a traditional TV show on both Jellyfin or Emby.</p><p>You&apos;ll want to customize the file and add your favorite channels. You can do so by modifying the configuration file or subscriptions file. For more advanced modifications, however, I recommend checking out the not-so-comprehensive documentation provided in <a href="https://ytdl-sub.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guides/getting_started/advanced_configuration.html?ref=noted.lol">ytdl-sub&apos;s advanced guide!</a></p><p><strong>How it works</strong>: The script begins by loading any custom settings from the config file, allowing users to tailor the behavior of ytdl-sub to their specific needs. Next, it consults the subscription file, where it checks for override settings that might supersede those specified in the config file. I&apos;m aware that this can be a bit confusing, and the documentation could certainly benefit from more clarity on this point.</p><div class="kg-card kg-callout-card kg-callout-card-blue"><div class="kg-callout-emoji">&#x1F440;</div><div class="kg-callout-text">You may need to grant permissions to your ytdl-sub directory or other directories where files might be transferred to.</div></div><p>Let&apos;s try running a dry run on our subscription file to see if everything checks out. inside the ytdl-sub directory run the following command:</p><pre><code>./ytdl-sub -d sub subscriptions.yaml</code></pre><p>This will preview what a download would output but does not perform any video downloads or writes to output directories.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://noted.lol/content/images/2024/09/ytdl-sub-dry-run-noted.png" class="kg-image" alt="ytdl-sub: Advanced YouTube Downloading that&apos;s Worth the Effort" loading="lazy" width="735" height="207" srcset="https://noted.lol/content/images/size/w600/2024/09/ytdl-sub-dry-run-noted.png 600w, https://noted.lol/content/images/2024/09/ytdl-sub-dry-run-noted.png 735w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><p>Given that I hadn&apos;t uploaded a new video in over a year, there were no recent videos for ytdl-sub to download. This is because I told the script to only look for videos up to 2 months back using <code>only_recent_date_range: &quot;2months&quot;</code> However, the script executed successfully, indicating that it&apos;s working as intended even without any new content.</p><p>Want to download the files for real now? Here&apos;s what you need to do. Simply run the command again without the <code>-d</code> flag as follows:</p><pre><code>./ytdl-sub sub subscriptions.yaml</code></pre><p>And just so you know, you don&apos;t have to name the file subscriptions.yaml. In-fact, you can name it whatever you want. I created 2 files. One for me and one for my son. Each one downloads videos we like and sends them to different directories to be served up on Emby. I named them jeremy.yaml and elijah.yaml so when I run the command I just call that file instead of subscriptions.yaml.</p><p>Not so painful, right? If you want to automate the download process, rather than running it manually each time, we can set up a simple schedule using crontab. Specifically, we&apos;ll use&#xA0;<code>crontab -e</code>&#xA0;to create and edit a new cron job that will run ytdl-sub at regular intervals.</p><p>You may need to use sudo or sudo su for this but go ahead and type <code>crontab -e</code> and hit <code>Enter</code>. If it&apos;s your first time using crontab it may ask if you want to use nano or vim. I prefer nano so I chose that option. After choosing, you will see something like this but without the cron command. Yours may be empty other than the default commented out directions.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card kg-width-wide"><img src="https://noted.lol/content/images/2024/09/ytdl-sub-crontab-noted.png" class="kg-image" alt="ytdl-sub: Advanced YouTube Downloading that&apos;s Worth the Effort" loading="lazy" width="893" height="615" srcset="https://noted.lol/content/images/size/w600/2024/09/ytdl-sub-crontab-noted.png 600w, https://noted.lol/content/images/2024/09/ytdl-sub-crontab-noted.png 893w"></figure><p>Arrow down to the bottom of the file and paste the cron command.</p><pre><code>0 */3 * * * cd /mnt/utilities/ytdl-sub &amp;&amp; ./ytdl-sub sub subscriptions.yaml</code></pre><p>Don&apos;t forget to press <code>Ctrl X</code>, <code>Y</code> then <code>Enter</code> to save the cron job! It&apos;s a good idea to launch <code>crontab -e</code> again to double check that it did save.</p><p>This line tells the system to run the specified command every 3 hours. Simply adjust the time interval as needed, such as changing &apos;3&apos; to &apos;6&apos; for every 6 hours. The cron job will then execute the ytdl-sub script to look for new videos based on your subscriptions file. If you want to temporarily pause or stop the cron from running, just add a <code>#</code> symbol at the beginning of the command, which will render it inactive. You&apos;ll notice the text will change color to indicate this. Again, don&apos;t forget to save the file before exiting!</p><h2 id="final-notes-and-thoughts">Final Notes and Thoughts</h2><p>I have to admit, when I first stumbled upon ytdl-sub a few months back, I was initially intimidated by the prospect of setting it up. The thought of customizing settings and working with YAML files seemed daunting, especially after sifting through what felt like a complex documentation set. As a result, I put off exploring ytdl-sub further until now.</p><p>&#xA0;While I&apos;ve only scratched the surface of what this tool can do, I&apos;m excited to dig deeper into custom settings in the near future.

As data security concerns grow, users are seeking alternatives to cloud-based storage solutions that come with modern scanners. Self-hosted options like Paperless-ngx provide a reliable and secure way to manage digital documents. By running your own instance of Paperless-ngx on a local server or virtual machine, you gain full control over your data, ensuring it remains private and secure.</p><h2 id="what-is-paperless-ngx">What is Paperless-ngx?</h2><p><a href="https://github.com/paperless-ngx/paperless-ngx?ref=noted.lol">Paperless-ngx</a> helps you switch from storing physical documents to digital ones, making it easy to find what you need online. Paperless-ngx was built as a new version of Paperless and its previous updates (Paperless-ng), so that a team of people can work together to improve and support the project. And for those wondering, the &quot;ng&quot; in Paperless-ngx stands for &quot;next generation&quot;.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card kg-width-wide"><img src="https://noted.lol/content/images/2024/08/paperless-ngx-documents-smallcards-dark.png" class="kg-image" alt="Paperless-ngx: Scan and Digitize Your Documents" loading="lazy" width="2000" height="1432" srcset="https://noted.lol/content/images/size/w600/2024/08/paperless-ngx-documents-smallcards-dark.png 600w, https://noted.lol/content/images/size/w1000/2024/08/paperless-ngx-documents-smallcards-dark.png 1000w, https://noted.lol/content/images/size/w1600/2024/08/paperless-ngx-documents-smallcards-dark.png 1600w, https://noted.lol/content/images/2024/08/paperless-ngx-documents-smallcards-dark.png 2000w" sizes="(min-width: 1200px) 1200px"></figure><h2 id="paperless-ngx-core-features">Paperless-ngx Core Features</h2><ul><li>Organize and index scanned documents with tags, correspondents, and types</li><li>Store data locally, never transmitting or sharing it (there are options to share)</li><li>OCR functionality for searchable text</li><li>Supports multiple file formats (PDF, images, Office files)</li><li>Machine-learning adds automatic tags, correspondents, and document types</li><li>Customizable web app with filtering, bulk editing, and drag-and-drop uploading</li></ul><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card kg-width-wide"><img src="https://noted.lol/content/images/2024/08/paperless-ngx-OCR-1-noted.lol.png" class="kg-image" alt="Paperless-ngx: Scan and Digitize Your Documents" loading="lazy" width="1920" height="911" srcset="https://noted.lol/content/images/size/w600/2024/08/paperless-ngx-OCR-1-noted.lol.png 600w, https://noted.lol/content/images/size/w1000/2024/08/paperless-ngx-OCR-1-noted.lol.png 1000w, https://noted.lol/content/images/size/w1600/2024/08/paperless-ngx-OCR-1-noted.lol.png 1600w, https://noted.lol/content/images/2024/08/paperless-ngx-OCR-1-noted.lol.png 1920w" sizes="(min-width: 1200px) 1200px"></figure><p>With the Paperless-ngx tagging feature, you can label each document with relevant keywords, making it easy to find what you need later. You can also categorize your documents by type or correspondent, keeping everything organized and easily accessible. </p><p>Paperless-ngx also includes advanced features like OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to make your scanned documents searchable. This means you can quickly find specific words or phrases within a document, without having to manually scroll through it. Plus, it supports multiple file formats, including PDFs, images, and Office files, so you can store all your important documents in one place. And with machine learning powered automatic tagging, you can let the app do the work for you.

The Swift Paperless app offers more features than just scanning documents. It&apos;s free, highly rated, and lets me control every aspect of Paperless-ngx, including adding tags, document type, and correspondents before uploading scanned documents to the server. (these settings can also be changed after the scan is completed) I can also create new scans or import documents and photos from my device. Lastly, there&apos;s no annoying nag screens asking for donations... nowhere in the app. You can see what people have to say about it <a href="https://github.com/paperless-ngx/paperless-ngx/discussions/3283?ref=noted.lol">here on the Paperless-ngx discussions</a>.

With a focus on simplicity, powerful tools, and transparency, Wavelog offers web-based logging accessible from anywhere worldwide. Whether hosted on a professional server, rented space, or a RaspberryPi at home, Wavelog enables you to manage your logbook whenever and wherever you want.</p><h2 id="wavelog-core-features">Wavelog Core Features</h2><p>Wavelog offers a simple web interface for logging contacts. Additionally, the WLGate tool allows you to log contacts from WSJT-X or send CAT data from your radio directly to your Wavelog account. Supports: Windows, Mac, and Linux.</p><p>Wavelog includes advanced mapping features that enable you to easily create custom maps of your contacts. You can also export and share your QSOs as maps, or automatically include them in your QRZ.com bio.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card kg-width-wide"><img src="https://noted.lol/content/images/2024/08/wavelog-self-hosted-ham-radio-log-QSO.png" class="kg-image" alt="Wavelog - Self-Hosted Amateur Radio Logging" loading="lazy" width="1920" height="911" srcset="https://noted.lol/content/images/size/w600/2024/08/wavelog-self-hosted-ham-radio-log-QSO.png 600w, https://noted.lol/content/images/size/w1000/2024/08/wavelog-self-hosted-ham-radio-log-QSO.png 1000w, https://noted.lol/content/images/size/w1600/2024/08/wavelog-self-hosted-ham-radio-log-QSO.png 1600w, https://noted.lol/content/images/2024/08/wavelog-self-hosted-ham-radio-log-QSO.png 1920w" sizes="(min-width: 1200px) 1200px"></figure><p>Wavelog also provides in-depth analytics to help you understand your ham radio activities.
