  • A reference to The benefit of having a recommendation engine auto add stuff for you

    A recommendation engine is perfectly fine and can be fun to discover new things you might otherwise not know about, but auto adding is a huge nono. You don’t want some random shit getting automatically added to your server and taking up space (or using potentially valuable/limited download credit from a private tracker) just because it thinks it knows what you want to watch/listen to/read. Automatically adding new stuff unsolicited it just a really bad idea.


  • Right now, if you want to add a new movie or TV show, you probably:

    Search for it manually across different Arr services

    I mean, you only search one arr service depending on the media type.

    Check which quality profiles or indexers work best for that media type

    Figure out if it’s already available somewhere in your library

    You’ve already setup your quality profiles and indexers for your Arrs when you initially configured them, so there’s no need to do that every time you add a new item. If it’s already in your library, it shows when you search for it so not much figuring out.

    Manually add it to the right service

    Again, you’ve already searched in the appropriate Arr service for the media type. The “manual” action is pressing “Add”, which i assume you’d need to do with this too?

    I think I’m confused as to what problem this actually solves?










  • Fair enough. But even if you don’t run on PV and actually do transcode 24/7/365, it’s still only 5€/month. They idle at around 1/3 to 1/2 that though, which is arguably better for the disk than being turned on/off all the time, so you still get the bulk of the savings while extending disk lifetime.




  • I recently had massive issues reaching my home network from hotel WiFi. I couldn’t even connect my regular VPN on their WiFi, I tried a bunch of stuff with different ports, TCP/UDP, different protocols, nothing seemed to work even for my proton VPN.

    I managed to get mullvad running though, then I could connect with tailscale (with mullvad VPN still running) and then disable mullvad after tailscale connected. Tailscale then didn’t drop the connection.

    Weird work around, but it was consistent.
