Good question; I did not know what Emby is until just now. I will explore it some more, I’m having issues getting the jellyfin ios/android clients to connect consistently to my server so I might ultimately do that instead / in parallel but I’m leery of freemium solutions.

I finally set up Jellyfin and Sonarr! I’ve been using Plex and manually managing torrents for a while now, recently found the *arr services and they are very impressive. Got the Jackett - Sonarr - Jellyfin - Nginx stack set up, now working on getting SSL + DynDNS so I can make it available remotely. Also accidentally blasted my ratio downloading a bunch of TV shows all at once so gotta seed up for a bit before i fill it out more. But so far the setup has been pleasantly breezy for how complex a setup it is ❤️

eventually this image will be cut, copied, and pasted until it has faded into a rectangle of white noise overlayed with layer upon layer historical image hosting watermarks, and then, when its meaning has finally passed beyond all human recollection, will Larry finally be able to rest.

Here’s the (abstract of the) paper I was thinking of https://pubsonline.informs.org/doi/abs/10.1287/opre.4.1.42

Appalling that I can’t find a free version of a 70 year old paper. You might be able to find the full text somewhere… I would of course never encourage anything that might run afoul of the scientific publishing protection racket.

I couldn’t find the paper I was thinking of that described the phenomenon of traffic propagating as a pressure wave, but I did find this paper (new to me) that describes a model for simulating how congestion spreads in urban environments (as opposed to an isolated highway, which IIRC the paper that most people reference models). It does have the full text available though, and it looks like a good read and has references that should get you going on the history of congestion research.

I am not an expert; I just found this with a few minutes of searching. If there are experts with better papers I’d be happy to hear from ya!
