I feel you ://

It just Because i’m a multi-lang Family… 3 trackers per language thats 9 trackers to keep watch for… It gets kinda messy to keep an eye on everything…

Always have a backup tracker in case something happens on one of them…

I guess having only 2 main trackers is easy but thats not the case for everyone :/

Nice tip ! How do you auth ? Every tab one by one ? I guess this can’t be automated but nice hint :))

Thank you :) I think that was the one I saw months ago !

Scales are rough… Cats are fluffy and smooth :D !

Never mind me, wait for a better ELI :D

Time flies… We are already 3 versions behind xD ! I don’t remember why, but there was something with version 16 that made me reluctant to go any further.

Bit change for sure, and not beeing able to downgrade anymore I guess ! Also the more you upgrade your OS version, slower your older phone gets ^^".

Also their design change every year and the need to find all your advanced option hidden somewhere else… Kinda tired from this hide and seek game !

I switched from EndeavourOS to OpenSUSE tumbleweed.

Not because EOS is bad, the contrary, i had a really good and smooth experience and probably only had one big issue, but my fault for not searching through EOS’ forum xD, that caused a total wipe and fresh install.

EOS beeing arch based, you need to keep regularly your system up to date and keep your system clean ! Beeing bleeding edge is a double sword… That’s why I switched to openSUSE TW, cause I needed something close to bleeding endge but also very stable for a hybrid server-gaming system.

This is also doable with EOS, but there’s way more personal investement to keep it stable.

Would totally recommend EOS to someone who want to tinker and customize his/her system and learning a bit more about how UNIX system works on a deeper level.

Yeah WUD is a bit underrated, haven’t seen it recommended a lot here, but it’s actually very good !

Yep homebox ftw ! You can even have a printed version of what’s in your boxes so even if no internet (post apocalyptic safe :D) you can still find your stuff !!

I have all my boxes in my attic neatly organised, numbered and separated in different regions in the room !

No more hassle opening every box when looking for something.

Never will i go back to ink cartigage or refillable ink… Those wear off faster than speed of light.

I switched 2 month ago and it’s day and night…

My old laptop (also EOL) still running as my server I guess ? I’m still looking for some time to switch to my old desktop with 5TB.

Not much but it’s kinda needed for my curreent Arr stack and my self-hosted services i want to share with family members (SFTPgo, vaultwarden, invidious, baikal, navidrome, jellyfin, seerr…)

Still need some time to make our network more reliable :) I still have 2 managed swiches to put into our network !

Mann so many things to do, but not enough time in a everyday life :( !

Always has been !

I hope we will get there any time soon ! Discount HDD !

3-5 years? I’m not sure about that… I got 4 Industry Red HDDs from my job… They have over 10 years of full load and they don’t have a single reallocated sector count, reported uncorrectable errors or current pending sector count.

I guess consumer grade HDD have some kind of programmed obsolescence ?

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

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 !
