  • Well I’m not your boyfriend but I’d enjoy the act of sharing my knowledge and exploring distros with my partner much more than her telling me she went online to talk to a bunch of strangers about something I have an interest/knowledge of.

    Also be aware that if this is your first time installing a new os you should assume you will lose all the files on your computer in the process, back up what you care about.








  • Some people feel its easier to have one for 4k and one for HD content. If you use overseer it allows you to designate 4k and HD versions of sonarr and radarr. Then you can give your users granular permissions around them.

    Perhaps you would let them download whatever they want without approval in HD but if they want 4k they must wait for you to approve the request.

    There is also no consensus on how to handle animated shows and live action. Some people recommend having a separate sonar instance with much lower quality definitions for animation others say you can make it work with custom formats and profiles.



  • Nb I use prowler to manage my indexers and point sonar/radarr at prowler but similar options should be available though sonar And radar.

    You can limit the amount of queries and grabs your client will try per amount of time for each indexer. It is under advanced settings on the indexer page once you select an indexer.

    This isn’t really a problem when you are just downloading one or two series but is a problem when you first start out and are downloading everything under the sun. Try limiting to 10 queries and grabs per hour for now. Might be a good idea to pause all requests for 24 hours as well as your ip may be temporarily flagged.

    And yes I use flare solver for 1337

    I also vaguely remember needing to have an account on ru tracker to make it work but it was all in Russian, and no English option I think. I had to use the browser auto translate

    Use kickass.to, but they are just mirrors of each other.

    I’d recommend setting up prowler now so you don’t have to do it all twice and if you want to spin up another radar or sonar later it’s easy to cover all your indexers.

    Not sure about therarbg I can’t seem to add it either, despite having it as an active tracker.





  • Just adding my own experience, Nextcloud AIO runs plenty fast for just me (family is slow adopters) but its simple user interface is slowly working for them.

    I run it in an LXC with access to two cores of an i7-9700 and 4gb of ram.

    All the files are stored on an old usb2 external hdd.

    Obviously that set up won’t scale well and the hdd will be the first bottleneck but I notice no performance issues and as a shameful windows user the way it ties in like OneDrive is great.

    I can also just mount it as a network share for my Linux computer.

    I do use the calendars and other features though.








  • Either you are splitting hairs or do not understand how precarious our way of life is.

    Running out of food, water or fuel is not some hypothetical future bad thing. It happens all around the world, sometimes even in western countries.

    In Australia we had a fire at one of the gas processing plants in the 90’s and the whole state was without gas (actual Liquid natural gas, for cooking and heating) for almost a month, back then literally everything was run on gas. hot water, ducted heating, ovens, many cars because it was so cheap and plentiful). It seems ridiculous considering we are one of the biggest producers in the world.

    You think you are tacking ‘real’ issues with your servers, but to the average user you seem just as crazy as a guy with a basement full of beans and piss jugs, screaming about the government is watching us constantly.

    But now we know that they are watching, and pushing people towards specific ideas using social media and many other things we though were just crazy talk.

    I’d have a bit more sympathy for the preppers if I was you.
