    Did you launch nano by CLI? Your command history could go back far enough that the command may still be in there. A quick history | grep nano might be helpful here.

    You might also need to check the command history for the superuser account depending on whether and how you might have used sudo to access any privileged files. If you had a root shell open at the time, commands were likely logged to the history file in /root, so you may need to run sudo -s and open a root shell before running the history | grep nano command. sudo seems not to take shell primitives as an argument, so `sudo history probably won’t work.

    Good luck!

    I have some logic around notifications and a few actions. My spouse and I both grew up in houses with heat, but no AC, so I’ve programmed HA to send notifications to our phones if the setpoint on our Ecobee thermostat is warmer than the outside temperature in Cooling mode, and cooler than the outside temp in Heating mode. Outdoor temps are a blend of three weather service feed “feels like” observations and two outdoor temperate/humidity sensors.

    The outdoor sensors are a ZigBee sensor, and some area sensors I snoop a few times an hour with an RTL-SDR radio single via MQTT bus. I have a helper that blends the weather service and local obs to compare with the thermostat. It bothers us every 2 hours to open some windows.

    We both also have a bad habit of not closing the back door all the way, so the Assistant bugs us if a door or window is open for more than 10 minutes and the outdoor temperature is below the heating setpoint, or above the cooling setpoint. It turns off the HVAC a few minutes later if the condition persists and sends a snarky notification about not being made of enough money to fix climate change. However, it will turn the heat back on to 60F if the house falls below 58F and send notifications every hour til the condition is addressed.

    Otherwise the ecobee does a fair job adjusting itself to maintain a desired inside temp on its own.

    You’ve solved it by now but this Jellyfin doc article was helpful for me, beginning with the section Naming.

    https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/movies/

    There at similar guides for TV Shows, Music, Books and other mixed media.

    There are also guides for “stacking” multi-segment media titles, for example Lord of the Rings movies which come on several discs.

    Jellyfin can be a bit opinionated about detecting bad metadata. The override tags in the media data filename or folder name can help clean that up. In fact, I’ve started hard-coding those [tmdbid=…] tags in my encoding workflow because I’m just so damned tired of fighting with the metadata feature.

    Hope it works form you,.too.

    I don’t use my computers for modern gaming. Like OP, I prefer tabletop games, though I do speed run crossword puzzles and play some PixelDungeon on my phone when I have spare time. I also built a Retropie, and play some old Atari and PS2 roms on a bored Sunday. My stuff can run Civ IV, which is probably the last title I bought.

    My main systems are for work, or for supporting self-hosted services including local infrastructure, home lab stuff, email, blogs, home automation, media servers, etc, etc. Lately I’ve been getting into SDR projects using RPi or old laptops.

    So, uh… Yeah. Fun stuff, but not so much gaming.

    +1. Honestly, any of the three can be a recipe for disaster, especially when messing with DVW.

    Of all of them, gas is the one that can be explosive, although crossing electrical pairs is a big risk too. I bought my house from an electrician, and you probably would not be amazed at the number of 20A breakers on 14awg branches. There were at least 3 I’ve swapped back to 15A first time I cracked open my panel.

    To every man his domain, I say. Myself, I grok electric and plumbing. I hate messing with gas.
