It reduces your available peers. You can’t connect to other people with closed ports, one side needs to be open.

It isn’t a huge deal with popular torrents, but it can cause problems with unpopular/old stuff.

That’s probably the real reason. You can get a Uhaul for $20-30 for the day, a bus would be much higher.

This is the fucking dream. Lidarr is serviceable to get a library going, but we could do so much better.

Lidarr is the corresponding program for music, setup is almost identical to what you’re already running. And if you use Prowlarr to manage your indexers, it also works with Lidarr.

If you go to your torrent client and disable the missing file, it should get reported as “complete” to the *arrs. Manual and annoying, but it works.

You don’t even need to purchase a domain, free dynDNS services (DuckDNS or similar) are good enough for Jellyfin and the like.

I’ve had this happen a couple times, and contacting the seller directly has gotten it sorted out. Even if they seem sketchy, they don’t want to take a hit to their reputation. If they don’t want to help, I’d escalate to eBay support.

If neither of them work out, then I’d try contacting WD. A refurb with no warranty is better than nothing at that point.

A Zero would probably be way underpowered for the job. I’ve used a Pi 4 in the past and it worked ok, but choked occasionally.

My actual recommendation would be a small x86 box, something like a Lenovo Thinkcentre Tiny. You can get them used for about the price of a Pi, and they’ll be much more reliable.

It isn’t just the cover art, they also A/B descriptions. And some of them are so different they’re basically lies.

Same here. But on the bright side, at least data hoarding doesn’t take up a ton of physical space.

Caller (Phone) has a package available on their github you can grab now, and f-droid should recognize the install once it hits the repos. They’re releasing pretty quickly, all things considered.

I feel the same way about the modern games in the series. The combat feels like an MMO in the worst way, but the stories are interesting enough that I keep on trying to play them.

Eh, just hit it with the 777 and pray. Then swear at it some more.

I can get over most of the modern crap, but I refuse to give up the 3.5mm port. Bluetooth headphones are too much of a downgrade, and adapter dongles are just something else to lose.

I’ve had a lot more luck running it in Docker with gluetun, along with qbittorrent in Docker. That way you can bind the whole qbit container to the VPN, which is basically bulletproof. All config options are available as Docker commands, you just need to use Proton’s website to check the server list and pick your favorite p2p-enabled server.

It does take a little fiddling, but it’s solid once you get it running. Port forwarding works too, once you figure out how to enable it.

It was the reason for some guys, for sure. The same crowd who refuse to wear safety glasses under any circumstances were pretty anti-mask.

Yup, it’s called Lidarr. It isn’t quite as nice as the tools for movies/TV, but it gets the job done.

Install them, point them to your media folder, tell them what your preferred quality level is, and they’ll handle everything else.

The Trash Guides are probably the best resource to get running.

Unless you’re also running a torrent client, you don’t really need a VPN at all. The *arrs aren’t doing anything that needs to be hidden, and Usenet is fine with just SSL.

If it’s anything like how the US deals with these things: tobacco is heavily taxed, vaping is taxed far less. They don’t give a shit who uses nicotine, just that they do so in a profitable way.
