Firstly, the core *arr suite is not a streaming service, whatsoever. It’s a media file manager meant to help with running a private server streaming app, like Plex or Jellyfin. With that out of the way:

I imagine sitting on coach, searching for show. Then you want to watch some, and then you have to wait half an hour for full episode (or even season?)

Download speeds depend on your own setup. IMO, a Usenet connection is the only way to use *arr. Downloads happen at the maximum speed and don’t rely on some other person’s seed rate. You, conversely, don’t need to worry about seeding.

When you manually add a show to Sonarr, you can select it to only pick up the pilot episode of the show, which could cut down on DL times by focusing bandwidth. You can also select a lower definition. With Usenet and something like a 720p quality, there’s no reason why this should take more than 5 minutes to be in your library.

I’ll also paste my comment I left below about connecting to lists:

You can connect your *arr profiles to monitor external lists of new titles by pointing the list manager to something like MDBList. They might not be as instantaneous as you might like, with a 24hr refresh period, but it’s pretty much a 0.99:1 Netflix replacement for me

I’ll also add that I’m not some CompSci nerd, either, so don’t be scared to give it a shot. My server runs off Plex on my Windows 10 desktop because I don’t know how to do any better but I’ve never had an issue watching what I want to watch

Oh that’s fantastic! Thanks

Yeah lol I spent the morning on PC parts picker/Amazon trying to find how tf I could even get a case, mobo, and cpu for under $200. Question still stands, what kind of miniPC do you recommend?

What kind of components would you recommend starting with for a $200 build? Any links would be appreciated

If it replaced my current media player (PS5), then it would be used about 95% for streaming media and 5% playing games, so I consider it more of a Windows HTPC than a gaming console replacement.

I would just be 1/3rd of the people using the console and don’t believe anyone would touch it if it wasn’t an OS that the other users are comfortable with.

I just thought it was an autocorrect from “I’m busy” tbh. Hoping you’re right

This band is amazing live. The energy is like a complete 180 from their studio stuff

Idiot tax as far as I’m concerned. Get a VPN.

Let’s just guess that they’ll show the same “no diversity” attitudes to H-1B immigrants applying for their jobs for half the rate as Americans

It’s like none of yall played Plague, Inc.

You already know the answer to that

Just his account showing that he’s still using X almost every day

And yet BrandonT4546 will no doubt continue to use X, keep calling it “Twitter” to trick himself into thinking hes going to a different Nazi bar, and complain about how “cooked” it is without ever looking for an alternative.

E: yeah I’m right (X link)

Just shouting out Willie Carlisle for anyone wanting good country without the conservative ick

I didn’t realize that Fred had commented on this… I feel like a real egghead now… :whimpers:

Ever since I was young I’ve been obsessed with black holes. As a teenager, I’d lie awake in my bed at night and imagine what it would feel like to enter one

That article doesn’t cite anything either, only that “some sources say” he donated some of the money. A far cry from the claim that he donated all of the stolen $4b.
