Self-hosted music streaming (and me giving up on it)
  • bigfoot bigfoot Now 100%

    I am in a similar boat. Since you have Tidal might want to look into Tidal-dl to "backup" the things you especially like in high quality.

    Tidal is actually not too bad, and it pays artists more than other services (not a lot, just more) but I do expect it to go downhill/away eventually so I make a habit of downloading what I can and supporting the artist directly in other ways.

    Overseerr is basically a polished front end for Radarr/Sonarr. It's useful if non-techies are requesting things, and/or you just want a single, dead-simple place to request (video) media. If you want to just try it out it doesn't affect your radarr/sonarr setup at all.

    @ShepherdPie@midwest.social gave a good explanation of Prowlarr. Just another simplification/automation tool.

  • I have been out of the loop for over a decade, where do I begin?
  • bigfoot bigfoot Now 96%

    The simple answer:

    Get Qbittorrent and use it's built-in search engine.

    The fully automated gay space answer:

    • Look into selfhosting - (optional but makes it easier/coler)
    • Look into Plex (or Emby or Jellyfin) - optional but makes it pretty

    These are the apps you'll need:

    • Radarr - Gets movies
    • Sonarr - Gets tv shows automatically as they come out
    • Prowlarr - the thing that does the searching for radarr/sonarr.
    • Overseerr - Makes it simple to request stuff
    • Qbittorrent - downloads things

    (There is also Lidarr for music and Readarr for books)

    If all set up correctly, you simply just request something with Overseerr and it shows up in Plex minutes later with artwork and metadata all pulled in and presented nicely. You can configure the apps to look for specific resolutions/file sizes/formats/etc. TV shows are downloaded as soon as a new episode is released. It's better than any streaming service by leaps and bounds.

  • Connect to Gluetun from LAN PC? (myanonymouse)
  • bigfoot bigfoot Now 100%

    I did actually do it this way for a while, it's clunky but works. Unfortunately my Firefox container stopped loading, I tried Chrome and N.eko which also had issues and I'm not experienced enough to overcome those.

  • Connect to Gluetun from LAN PC? (myanonymouse)

    I should have clarified, not browsing, but the torrent/magnet link won't work. I can't browse from one PC then paste the link into qBittorrent on the server.

  • I want to use myanonymouse to download/seed books but it requires you to download from the same IP as you use to browse the website. My qBittorrent is in docker container on my home server, using gluetun with a VPN. I tried both of [these instructions](https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun-wiki/blob/main/setup/connect-a-lan-device-to-gluetun.md) to no avail I think there is something I'm missing. Shadowsocksqt5 latency just says "error" and using the chrome extension suggestion just simply doesn't load anything. The reason I don't want to seed from my workstation pc is because myanonymouse requires you to seed to maintain your account and the workstation is mostly off. My home server is always on. Any ideas?

    I don't think we should be rooting for the Bell Riots but the pin is funny

    It is, but diplomacy refers to disputes between peoples. Politics refers to disputes within a people.

    I didn't say anything about pacifism, but I also disagree with your proposition equating violence and politics. Violence is a breakdown of politics. Politics, almost definitionally, is how a people settle disputes without violence.

    Politics is how how decisions are made in groups. If one person or group is forcing their will upon others, then no decision or compromise between the parties can be said to have been made freely. And therefore it cannot be truthfully described as following a political process.

    That is a very machivellian attitude. I don't believe that hurting people who aren't a threat in the name of "progress" is justified, even if it were somehow a shortcut to utopia, which it's not.

    Maybe referring to china's treatment of minorities? Though usually when people say "extreme left" they are referring to scary groups like public transit advocates.

  • New 9/11 Evidence Points to Deep Saudi Complicity
  • bigfoot bigfoot Now 100%

    Bin Laden was "from" within the borders of the Saudi Arabian (Sunni) state but he was a Shiite pan-islamist and a lot of Al Quaeda's support came from Iran, a major enemy of Saudi Arabia.

    This is just to say it's much more complicated than "Saudis did 9/11", and maps like this grossly oversimplify things when they put Arab peoples into the types of cultural boxes westerners are used to seeing. It doesn't apply here.

    It's not that hard. The easiest way to start is probably get qBittorrent, which has built-in search of several major torrent sites at once.

  • A search for this only brings up adapters to plug M.2 drives into a PCIE slot which is not what I want because I don't have a PCIE slot. What I want is M.2 > M.2 (2x, 3x, etc). Does this exist?

    From [Trekmovie](https://trekmovie.com/2024/03/01/discovery-panel-hints-something-special-in-season-5-gorn-gong-show-and-more-star-trek-cruise-day-7/): >David Ajala: A moment I wanted to share is something that happens in season 5. I remember speaking to Alex Kurtzman about this at the end of shooting season 4 and it was an idea that he shared with me and I think Michelle Paradise was the only other person that knew about this thing at the time. Then cut to season 5… we get to come back to Toronto and create something so very special. [Sonequa interjects “We did”] I’m so proud and happy that we got to do that because you know how amazing that was to do. And I can’t wait for you guys to experience the very secretive thing which I can’t talk about which we got to do.

    I have a few shows like the Daily Show I'll sometimes watch the monologue but not the full episode. ![](https://i.imgur.com/5mvrAmU.jpg) Plex has a setting to "Keep unwatched episodes" which will delete **never**-watched episodes, and another to "delete X days after viewing" for **fully**-watched episodes. But if an episode is *partially* watched, neither applies and it just sits there. This seems like a weird oversight and I am wondering if there's a setting I'm missing. I can't be the first person who wants "delete 7 days after adding regardless of anything else"
