As mentioned, Akihabara will have plenty of stuff. If you have limited time or don't want to walk around that much, definitely stop by the multi-floor department stores. They have a bit of everything and you can browse them relatively quickly.
You're also likely to find some themed designs at the area Uniqlo.

The main difference between this project and the ones you listed is that this project includes a Plex installation out of the box. The other projects require you to connect to a separate Plex instance.

It seems like you’re looking for a prescriptive definition of cult and culture that would cover every cult and every culture, and I don’t think you’re going to find one. Humans organize in complex ways that rarely align with strict definitions.

I don't like the overuse and misuse of Material UI – the paper-looking thing with raised textures and shadows. It takes a bit of work to make it look good, and many sites just drop in a CSS file and call it a day.

Thanks for all the questions and I absolutely don’t think you’re being too negative! This was mainly made to scratch an itch I had, but I hope that other people find it useful too.
The main difference between this and plex_debrid is that this is set up out of the box to work without manual integration steps. You don’t have to copy the Plex API key around — simply sign into Plex and Overseerr, and my config script handles wiring your watchlist up to request content.
I’ve also built a high-quality media selection algorithm that I think is the best out there for getting the copies of media you want to make your users happy. Check out the docs on Media Profiles.
Putting everything in one container doesn’t necessarily break the mantra of using containers. I use containers all day at my job and in my personal clusters. What I’ve found is using tools like Docker Compose to distribute software makes it much harder for people to run my software on home servers like Unraid — and there wasn’t a technical reason I couldn’t bundle these into one container to make it easier. In this case, the services are pretty coupled and I don’t have much need to scale them up individually.
I haven’t built any automation for this yet, but my repo tracks the upstream sources for rclone, pms-docker, and Overseerr, and I’d like to pull in those updates as I cut new releases.

I have a "traditional" home server with Plex + *arr + torrent client set up. It's great, but I need to manage the storage space on my NAS and I have to wait a few hours between requesting media and watching it. Using Debrid with Torrentio means I don't have to wait for a download or find a place to store it.
Right now I run both Coaxist and my old Plex server in parallel.
mplewis 12 months ago • 100%
You've identified the main benefit – Debrid services provide cached torrents for "instant" downloads. Streaming straight from a Debrid service's fileshare also means you don't need to buy drives or additional storage.
When you say Wasabi, do you mean the hosted S3-compatible cloud storage service?

I don’t have any plans at the moment but I welcome anyone who would like to fork the project for this. Happy to try and make things easy for you.
Hey folks. I've run a Plex instance on my home server for friends and family for a while now. I recently discovered how easy it was to use Stremio + Torrentio + Debrid, but all my users are already used to Plex, and I like to use the Plex app to download media to my phone before I fly somewhere on vacation. The [plex_debrid](https://github.com/itsToggle/plex_debrid) project made me wonder how easy it could be to use Plex with Debrid. Over the last few months I've been putting together [**Coaxist**](https://github.com/mplewis/coaxist), a **single Docker container** with Plex, Overseerr, Rclone, and Debrid support. Features include: * **Support for multiple Media Profiles:** e.g. grab 4K DV copies for home viewing, and 1080p copies for maximum compatibility * **It's just Plex:** use the Plex apps, share with other users, download for offline viewing * Plex watchlist and Overseerr request integration, out of the box – no copying API keys around * "Instant" downloads with Debrid caching support * Automatically refresh your Debrid files before they expire It's easy to get started: start the container, set your Debrid credentials and media profiles in the config, and sign into Plex and Overseerr. The Connector searches Torrentio for your requests and sends the files to Debrid, while Rclone mounts the media locally for Plex to serve. Check out the [Quick Start](https://github.com/mplewis/coaxist/blob/main/docs/quick-start.md) guide. This project is still in early stages – expect many breaking changes – but if you're brave, and have a Linux, Unraid, or NAS machine that can run Docker containers, I'd love for you to try this out and let me know what you think.

Generally, the hardware in a small, power-efficient, SoC embedded device is going to be a lot more particular and a lot less general than your gaming computer’s motherboard. It’s harder to write general OS software for specific integrated systems rather than a big set of chips which provide an individual chip for the BIOS, specialized chips for the PCI ports, etc., all of which have become more standardized over time.

It sounds like you are doing the route:
- Narita Airport to Shinagawa Station via Narita Express
- Shinagawa Station to Kyoto Station via Hikari Shinkansen
If this is the case, then I think you can pick up the ticket from Shinagawa Station. From my understanding, you take the info in your purchase receipt to the Shinkansen ticket machine to get a ticket for the gates. Or you could go to the JR office and have them do it for you. I would email the station to double check.
I think that if you purchase through the SmartEX app and link to a digital Suica in your iPhone wallet, you can use your iPhone to tap on and off through the Shinkansen gates, and you won't have to get a physical ticket.

Thanks for posting these tips!
On my last visit to Japan, I brought home a cheap pair of reusable plastic chopsticks. The hard case they came with lets me toss them into my bag without worrying about them breaking, and usually I wrap a handkerchief or cloth napkin around the case. I use these chopsticks more often than I would have expected. I used to be a fork person, but I've converted – once I got used to using them, chopsticks turned out to work better for the things I'd otherwise eat with a fork. Today I ate some salad on the plane that I brought with me to the airport, instead of spending $8 on wilted lettuce. If you need a utensil, here are some options which I don't own but which seem nice (referral links): - [Plastic chopsticks – $8](https://amzn.to/3YOsCPR) - [Titanium spork – $15](https://amzn.to/3YTYzq4) I have something like this for camping, but the Light My Fire-brand spork seems way expensive these days.

I had good luck with free wifi at coffee shops. The fastest wifi I had in Japan was at a Starbucks. I haven’t had great luck with the free wifi on trains at all.
I have heard Ubigo is a good option for esim cards. Make sure to enroll when you have reliable internet access already.
If you’re looking for a vendor for your portable wifi, IVideo gave us a router with excellent speeds on my last visit, and the return process was a simple prepaid envelope. Make sure to double-check the opening hours of the shop if you pick up your router locally.
What were your favorite little spots that weren't horribly touristy that you hope other people get to see? A couple of mine are: * Shimokitazawa - cute shopping district not far from Tokyo * Miyajima Island - beautiful island with tame deer, easy mountain hikes, and lovely temples, off the coast of Hiroshima via ferry * Kamakura - former capital of Japan with lots of temples, a historic electric railway that still runs antique passenger cars, and surfing at the beach. 1.5 hours south of Tokyo.
Of course a travel lock won't stand up to much abuse, but this one also doubles as a carabiner when used unlocked. $30 from Matador.
Sleep off your Kabukicho hangover on the Romancecar from Shinjuku to Hakone as you ride toward an onsen you can spend all day relaxing in. Not that I speak from experience.
I’m looking forward to: * A week-long liveaboard somewhere warm * Diving the sardine run at Moalboal, Philippines * Australia’s Gold Coast
* Wear a sling bag for quick access to your stuff without having to go into your big bag on the airplane. * You probably don't need the fancy laundry soap packets to wash your clothes in the sink. You can use a little bit of laundry soap bar in a plastic bag, or in a pinch, some hand soap. * Nice sandals (like [Bedrock](https://bedrocksandals.com/)) and zero-drop shoes (like [Lems](https://www.lemsshoes.com/)) can pack real flat into your bag and reclaim some space. * Bring a [Heroclip](https://www.gearaid.com/pages/heroclip), a carabiner which can double as a hook to keep your nice backpack off the bathroom floor. * Little [A6 notebooks](https://amzn.to/44R08av) fit almost anywhere and are a great way to jot down notes during your trip.

I try to stay minimal in terms of volume, and for me, that means ditching most redunancies when traveling with one bag. I replace the electric shaver with a simple disposable razor, and I only pack one [CeraVe SPF face lotion](https://amzn.to/44LvgYV) that I use for my hands if I need it. For doing laundry in the sink, I use a cut-down bar of [Zote pink soap](https://amzn.to/44Z7Yi0) in the [Matador dry-thru soap bag](https://amzn.to/44KDh07). For my dry goods, I use this [Sea to Summit hanging toiletry bag](https://amzn.to/3OAeOF5) which I bought for ultralight camping. This thing is super light and has plenty of great organization for being so tiny. For the 1 quart liquids bag required for airline travel, I recently upgraded from a ziploc bag to [this generic, durable, clear-sided plastic bag](https://amzn.to/43ProVs) with a zipper and handle. I attach a small carabiner and clip the handle to the hanging bag if I don't have space by the sink. What are your favorite toiletry tips?
Hello! I'm Matt and I just booted up [Globe.pub](https://globe.pub), a Lemmy instance focused on world travel.

Learning a bit of Japanese over the three months before I arrived helped me out a lot and I'm so glad that I spent the effort doing so. But if you don't have the time for that, you can still have a great trip to Japan.
I'm always happy to see people showing off other destinations in Kyoto's beautiful Arashiyama region aside from the bamboo forest and monkey park. My personal recommendations are Jojakko-ji Temple and Aightowa Cafe, a short walk down the forested road.
When I'm going on shorter trips and I don't need my clothes to be as organized, I use this bundle packing method instead of my packing cubes to save a bit of space!
I wanted to share this because I recently tried "barefoot"–style shoes and found them extremely comfortable on my feet for long days of walking. These days, my Lems Primal 2 always come with me on a long trip.
You don’t want to overheat in a thick wetsuit in tropical waters, and you also don’t want to freeze or risk hypothermia in a thin wetsuit in chilly temperatures.
This is a great guide to one of my favorite spots for meeting people and having a great time, Golden Gai in Shinjuku!
