So are you looking to connect storage to it and run local media or are you looking more for a streaming thing to play Netflix and such?

While I wholeheartedly support all your gripes with the streaming services, how come everyone loves fucking Plex with *arr so much? Plex has been nothing but janky for me and constantly tried to push it’s own bullshit through dark patterns (some plex-tv-stuff added to a menu here, some recommendations to their own BS there), while looking and feeling super outdated. This is without the need to switch applications just to get to overseer.

Isn’t Stremio more comfortable for most ppl?

Yep. Got such a service as well. I’ve got this one docker container that’s supposed to connect to a VPN and provide access from the outside to another one. The bitch keeps just crashing to a point where even “restart policy: always” will give up on it. Doesn’t matter too much usually, since I can start the container before I need it, and it will usually run for half a day or so, yet still

See, that’s a thing AI ought to be useful for once. “Hey, CringeGPT, summarize these videos for me that make me nauseous out of sheer cringe”

Or you’re a muggle because fuck you we ain’t helpin’ ya!

No, it means that there was a Par2-File (which I didn’t recognize since I haven’t used Usenet for long) and a regular file but Readarr kept picking the Par2 file.

Hey, wwhile I indeed didn’t even know one could do a custom format with a negative score, I solved the issue by adding the corresponding releases those par2 files were for manually.

Thanks :) Yet… why keeps Readarr fetching those and not the base file I wonder?

Those do come from a private Indexer (and given the explanation by @Laser@feddit.de, they are supposed to be there

Yeah, that goes for any data though. The question was more if Immich is really so unstable that it might just shred your images because it had a bad day. And to that I can say: no, it won’t. Yet, photos are very important to many people, so they put that warning there.

Zonegfx or 3d-load.net

I might just do that when I find the time. It’s way too unknown imho. Yes, it’s not the right choice if you want to keep everything you watched, but for everything you want to watch once and be done with, it’s a better solution in my opinion.

Thank you for putting in the effort!

Yet… I don’t get why using the *Arr stack and Plex is so popular. Plex is annoying as fuck and tries to shill you their paid bullshit at every corner. The Arr stack is buggy and having a separate system for recommendations and requests and for library management is super cumbersome for me. Compare that with Stremio… I could never convince the wife to use Plex with overseer at all. Stremio is super convenient.

Im just saying this because I spent my weekend getting another Arr stack running after years of absence and noticed that the whole thing is as convoluted and fiddly as ever and that really got me wondering why people just take this as the industry standard for torrenting.

And even then, you pay with your Data.

That, indeed, is true. It’s rather cheap, yet not free.

Real debrid and similar services act A) as a multi premium account (so you can download from sites like Mega or Rapidgator etc like you had a premium account for those services) and as a torrent downloader just like webto and such. You paste a link to them and they download it from a torrent and make it available to you for download/stream via regular https.

Whenever someone downloads a Torrent, the debrid service will cache it, the user who queued it wouldn’t be able to download it otherwise of course.

Yet, from that moment on, the debrid service will serve the cached file whenever someone queues that same Torrent instead of downloading the same file over and over again, so it becomes available to you instantly. That’s how torrentio and sich can use debrid services to instantly start a Video stream via Plex or Kodi or Jellyfin or Stremio.

The Downloads you accessed through them become available via your account, so you can even mount the service via rclone and access the downloads like they were on your local filesystem.

So it’s basically webto just with the added bonus of Instant completion to many torrents.

What about Real Debrid and the like?

Hissy fit, says the guy who signed up here just to poorly troll around. A Klingon would be more skilled negotiating with Mahatma Gandhi than you are at your half-baked trolling attempts, you fool.

Update: might just be that OP hasn’t discovered federation yet and thinks the posts on started.site are all that’s happening.

Shitposting aside: there is a valid point on there. Because we can’t see our opposites in any discussion on the internet, we cannot take clues into account we otherwise might have. This leads to far-reaching misinterpretations. Imagine someone with a very weird and overly simplistic political stance they defend with tooth and nail. Now imagine that person to be some activist with a cap with political slogans on it. Okay, and now imagine the person to be not that, but a 15-year-old who just started to grasp the world around them but thinks they have it all figured out (puberty doing puberty things). Your reaction to either of them would be VASTLY different, wouldn’t it. Imagine how many stupid internet fights would never have happened if it was known that one of the participants is a literal child that can’t have a clue what they are talking about yet.

Yet, not knowing that we’ve been arguing with a child for the last hour and a half, we will leave the discussion with the impression that there are grown up people out there thinking childish bullshit. Don’t get me wrong, there are those people, but they are not as frequent as one might guess from the internet.
