    This one irks me. Combination of "rocket scientist" and "brain surgery".

    I was taking comp. sci. at university and all our work was done on Sparc workstations. Having a Unix-like machine at home was a great help during that time

  • Removing "Season Unknown" with no episodes

    I recently added some files to my Jellyfin instance, and some of them had their metadata scraped incorrectly. This was no big deal, they weren't named very well. These files ended up being displayed in a "Season Unknown" season of the show. So I fixed the names, and the files' metadata was corrected automatically. However, the "Season Unknown" remained, with no media displaying in it. I can't figure out how to get rid of it. Anyone have any ideas?
