Oddly enough, IRC is awesome for ebooks.

This is a great guide to getting everything setup if you've never used IRC before.

As someone who still occasionally uses soulseek and manually browses usenet groups, I'm thrilled that there's still a file sharing technology that even I can look down upon as old and archaic.

Xbins, a popular homebrew distribution site in the console modding community, still uses a FTP server that you go through an eggdrop bot to access.

Yeah, I was there all the time back in the peak of the OG Xbox days and a bit in the middle of the Xbox 360. Looks like now most of the recent uploads are Switch related but it's still around and still doing the same thing with the FTP and IRC.

I stumbled on someone’s seed box, completely wide open the other day. Looked like it had pretty much every switch dump and a ton of movies and porn, all sitting there completely indexed by google.

Eventually was locked up, probably saw traffic from all over the web eating up its allocation.

And that’s why you don’t run some rando’s seedbox setup script on a VPS.

Are Switch games really easily loaded? I thought you couldn't 'jailbreak' (or whatever the term is for the Switch) without getting some consequence like a ban from Nintendo or something for the first time in their history.

Oh you'll get banned for sure if you take it online, but there are so few online games that a lot of people don't really care.

True, most Switches sold after ~July 2018 aren't currently hackable, but it's only a matter of time.

No, they legit patched out the previously thought un-patchable hardware exploit by redoing the entire the boot process. Separate from the silent board revisions. As long as you never patch you can maintain a hacked Switch but you currently can’t access anything online. Not even the eShop gives a grace period anymore

Sure it’s still a matter of time, but still impressive.

Edit: Looks like that time already came during November and apparently released last month reading on Switch hacking news.

Oh yeah that lasted like two weeks. I don't think many people were too worried about that one. Since Smash Bros worked fine on 6.1, nobody had any reason to upgrade to 6.2 until the new boot keys were pulled and CFWs were updated.

I have a bunch of stuff in Sonarr that has a profile of 720p, and I want to change it to 1080p, but I don't necessarily want to kick off 500000 new downloads for old copies. Is there a way to change a profile for a series only for new episodes?

you could un-monitor the existing episodes.

After years of manually downloading NZBs, I finally got around to installing Sonarr and Radarr this week. After some futzing around a bit I'm mostly squared away, but Radarr is giving me some trouble with connecting remotely.

When I try to connect to the server I get this response in the browser.

Bad Request - Invalid Hostname
HTTP Error 400. The request hostname is invalid.


FWIW, the Sonarr instance on the same machine has no issue and Windows firewall settings are the same, just with different ports specified.

Any ideas?

Apparently solved my own issue. I didn't have it installed as a service to try to mitigate a network drive issue, but I ended up solving that another way. Reinstalling as a surface fixed this for whatever reason.

They claim 3810+ days of retention, but what is it in reality? The price is similar to what I pay for supernews and their retention is hit or miss for me sometimes.

This post is pathetic.
What do most people use for their quality settings on Radarr? I usually select the 720\1080p one but lately it's been finding 50gb files as the ones it wants to grab. If I move the slider off of Unlimited, I get a max of 25gb which seems OK but wanted to check before just moving it to that and dealing with it.

It did that to me the other night for the first time, I'll have to look at my sliders. Luckily I noticed before it ate 50gb out of my crappy usage allowance.

Anyone finding Sonarr fail Test Connection with Hydra2 very recently, suddenly?

Two days ago all was well, and yesterday not.

I updated Java to 8u202 just prior to noticing the failure. Sonarr suddenly found no results, and Hydra2's logs referred to Java.

I tried reinstalling Java 8u191/182 to no avail. I did, however, leave 202 installed. Perhaps a mistake.

I basically cap 1080 at minimum 5 Mbps/sec (per Netflix), maximum 20 Mbps/sec (per Plex), and run the sliders accordingly.

(20 * 60 * 90)/8/1024 = ~13.2 GB.

I've been running Sonarr and Radarr for a few weeks and ran into a few issues.

First, is it possible to figure out what search terms Sonarr is is using to find episodes. I followed a new show and its not finding episodes. If I manually search my tracker they're all there and correctly name (This.Is.A.Show.S01.E01, etc.), but even a manual search in Sonarr brings zero hits.

Secondly, in Radarr I had an issue where I grabbed a 9GB file, but ended up with only a one minute clip (presumable the -sample) and everything else was deleted. Any solution to making sure this doesn't happen again? I use block accounts so wasting large amounts of space is super annoying.

Check the debug logs. They say pretty specifically what's hitting and why it's being excluded.

There is a setting in radarr to remove extraneous files. There should also be a 'trash' folder that the file may have been moved to.

Go to the series, go the episode, hit manual search. You'll get a list of results, and if they have ! beside them you can highlight that and see why they're excluded (probably file size limitations setup in your profile).
