I mean, you have to be very thorough when manually curating your medias.

That’s short compared to how much there is to say about the arr stack :))

You could probably use it to download legal torrents (movies, series) but they depend on metadata providers for all the data.

I thinks It wouldn’t be that useful for something else than piracy (torrent&Usenet) but I may be wrong here.

Yeah, I had the same feeling before I discovered how powerfull it is.

It’s not that hard to keep it well organized manually I guess, but you have to be very thorough and always keep the same structure when you do something ! I’m not at all an expert in scripting or programming on Linux and i’m relatively new in the Linux familly so I guess Im lacking a lot of basic skills in that matter.

I did appreciated my manual setup for a while. Also I did learned a lot of new things (what are inodes, files, hardlinks, softlinks, mount points, ffmpeg, mkvtools…) But now that I have that new basic knowledge I can take away this mental charge and just let it run whithout the need to overthink things !

I think it’s the best course of action for my learning Linux journey :)

Keep it simple, stupid my friend :D

Sure, but piracy is probably how most people use the P2P network… When was the last time you used torrenting for something legal? :/

But what ever… This is the privacy sub…

Why have an article about port forwarding and P2P network and linking the TOS about how it’s against IVPN’s rules?

You will not use our service for receiving and distributing pirated copyright materials. This includes, but is not limited to the following activities: trading, selling, bartering, sharing, transmitting or receiving, of such materials.

That’s dumb :/

The arr stack is kinda tricky to get started and understand how it all works together, but as soon as it clicks, it’s awesome !!

Can’t exactly say what, but I kinda got lost and what helped me out was to slowly work one arr service at a time and understand what they actually do. (First only Sonarr after awhile I added prowlarr, then radarr and now slowly testing Seer !)

Trash guide was also helpful specially for custom formats. Just take your time and don’t try to much to make your own custom formats… Have seen alot a of people on private trackers blow up their ratio without noticing it.

Best advice I can give you is to just play arround with sonarr or radarr alone and try things out and see what they do ^^ Or try to read and understand the official documentation but you will have a better grasp while doing things :)

Edit: Ohh and forget about asking chatGPT… It will mostly output outdated information an cause you more trouble and leave you even more confused !

Nobody mentioned this but route only the necessary traffic to your router (all your self-hosted services) with wireguard’s split tunneling (just set the apropriate allowed_ip networks in your wg config).

You could set it to 0.0.0.0/0 and send all her traffic through your router but this could potientially choke your own network and make her own speed slow down.

Wow… Never thought about this ! To bad my battery died years ago ! Craptop still going strong though 👍💪

I though the acronym was GAFAM ? Google Amazon Facebook Apple Microsoft ? Faang has some deeper meaning but misses Microsoft in it ^^

Thats harrrrsh !

Thanks for the clarification ! And how do you know which word can be put together? Sorry if this question is kinda hard to answer :/ don’t if it’s to long and needs some complicated grammar or something like that, i’m genuinely curious !

Oh my god :/

Jugendmedienschutzstaatsvertrag

Is that a single word? O_O

limited content compared to Netflix

Not sure if this is actually a key difference. You can have as many content as you want on your service, if you have the needed space ! But the point is, when self-hosting your ARR stack, it’s more about QUALITY vs QUANTITY…

How many times have I seen people looking for something to watch and bing scrolling Netflixe’s front end.

For the rest you’re on point !!

Samba is great, but it’s hell when you need multiplatform support… I have some weird fruit thing going one to support MacOS :/

I can’t remember why, but I gave sshfs a try but stayed why samba.

Hey… I use alot of em dashes in my notes and I really like em ! I hate that everyone associate em-dashes with ai written stuff (even if it’s true !)

Rantoff

That’s nice, but I wish there would be a way to somehow intercept traffic and send them some “warning” video in place of their recording…

Or something else that makes their recording useless or broken ^^

Okay I get that ! But in the case of the ICE both are actually acceptable.

I.C.E sounds good so those ICE. I guess in this context as some else said, it’s because they are “ice cold” (in this context).

Would it be acceptable in a conversation to talk about the I.C.E ?
