I mean, a lot of the TV stuff on Usenet trickles down from a specific TV torrent site. But yes in general it’s just easier to set Sonarr up with an indexer and not worry about it for 99% of the time.

Forgive me if this is the wrong place for this, but I'm looking to improve my current setup/workflow. Currently I have a small Win 10 machine under my desk set up with a VPN, Deluge, Jackett, Sonarr & Radarr. My Plex server is an Nvidia Shield with a HDD attached. I interact with my 'download box' via the web interfaces of Deluge, Sonarr & Radarr. I add TV shows & movies, they get downloaded, and when completed copied over to the HDD serving as the library for Plex. This works for the most part, but occasionally Windows will just restart itself (I've found no way to disable this) and not everything will come back up. I'm also limited to the download/upload speed made available to me by my ISP. I'm considering doing away with this thing and just using a seedbox instead - is that an appropriate solution? Would I still interact with Sonarr/Radarr through web interfaces albeit over the internet instead of my LAN? Would a seedbox be able to push completed files to my local library?

If you're only using that PC for what you stated then ditch Win10 and put Unraid on it IMO. Run all those apps in docker containers and you'll rarely ever have to interact with it again.

Is your win10 machine somehow lower spec than your shield? I dunno why you’d go though all that just to have the shield act as the server. If the shield is stronger, than unraid is a good idea. You can also solve it by setting windows to auto login on reboot, and make sure all that stuff launches at boot. That’s how mine is set up. It’s probably windows 10 updates rebooting the system.

If you're using two machines like that, building one out into an actual NAS is a neat project. If you can actually add more drives you can gain something pretty important, namely data-parity. unraid is paid but almost zero-friction freenas/truenas are free options that are arguably better but you'll end up accidentally learning some linux along the way. Either have easy-config addons for sonarr/radarr/torrents and VPN use.

Oh, well having the Plex server on the shield isn't that big of a deal, seems to run pretty fine. I'm actually wondering if I can/should get rid of this Win 10 box though.

I've been using a Windows box for exactly this purpose since the Windows 7 days. I don't ever have problems with reboots. Even since moving to Windows 10 2 years ago. What type of intervention are you having to do if it reboots? Plex, Sonarr, etc... can all be setup to start on boot. You also want to set your normal user to auto login on boot. (This little tool works wonders: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/autologon) Set your Windows Update active hours appropriately so update installs can only happen late at night. The only clue I ever have to mine having rebooted is the uTorrent window being open. (I use an ancient version of uTorrent, it auto-opens the main window on boot)

I have 2 methods of intervention if it reboots: TightVNC and Teamviewer. I've heard mixed opinions on Teamviewer but the fact is TightVNC is slow as hell even over the LAN with both machines connected via Ethernet. Both run on startup and I have auto login on boot so that doesn't seem to be an issue. What does cause problems is having Sonarr & Radarr boot properly. It appears that unless I run them as administrator (which requires manual intervention to click a button) they are unable to connect to my network drive that hosts all my media.

Have you tried setting the sonarr and radarr services in services.msc to logon with an account that has access to the network drives? This should avoid needing a manual intervention/popup. By default it runs as SYSTEM which can't access remote shares. You also need to make sure all the network drives are accessed via UNC paths too I believe.

Sand Monster posted:What is the secret to prevent Windows 10 from restarting? It seems like the active hours setting allows you at least to prevent it in a specific window, but I'm unsure outside of that. You basically can't (at least not in an official capacity) without running the special Enterprise LTSB/LTSC versions of it. Because people were frequently disabling updates to avoid any sort of bother, a lot of nasty viruses were able to proliferate despite the exploits they relied on having been fixed several months prior, and users would then immediately blame Microsoft for Windows being insecure. Because of this, Microsoft changed course and now forces update installation and reboots on most versions of Windows 10 because the "nice" way wasn't working. You can postpone updates to a certain degree (with increasing allowances if you're running Win10 Pro or Enterprise, and further still if you're running a Windows Server to manage the updates going to the networked machines) but not indefinitely, and you generally have to do the postponements manually. The LTSB and LTSC versions of Windows 10 are special versions which are "locked" to a specific Windows 10 build version, and don't get any of the major updates they put out every 6 months. They also don't include Microsoft Edge (only IE11) or the ability to use the Windows Store and apps, since those force updates. They get 10 years of security updates, and you can actually disable specific updates (or all of them) outright so they are never installed. I'm not sure if there are practical and inexpensive methods of obtaining it for end users, you need an "Enterprise" Windows license which is typically a business level-only thing (and to be licensed officially requires you to effectively pay for Windows 10 twice, as you must install it to a PC that already has a Windows 10 Pro license (you're allowed Win10 Home licenses if you're a non-profit)), the notion being that they're the only ones who might have a plausible reason for keeping a locked version of Windows, and at least in theory are managed by IT people that have some notion of what they're doing (lols go here). I'm pretty sure there are ways to "break" the normal versions of Windows 10 to avoid auto-installing updates but this goes outside of how the OS is designed to work so ymmv if it eventually results in poo poo getting horribly broken and requiring a full reinstall.

I've been having an issue recently where Movies automatically added to my Plex library don't automatically pull any metadata when I'm certain they used to. E.g. So I have to go into Plex any manually fix the match for them to get correct data  Does anyone know why this happens? I don't think it's a time issue because these files sat in my library for hours when it only took a few seconds to manually fix them.

Check your agent and scanner are both set to Plex Movie. The agent has an older legacy version you might be still using.

I’m a newbie to ripping DVDs, and using MakeMKV on the Mac. 75% or more of my DVDs (retail) come up with a “no disc inserted” error. They work fine on my stand-alone DVD player. They won’t even come up for DVD playback on my Mac. Is my computer just wacked? Is there a better program for ripping?

MakeMKV is generally pretty solid*, does the OS itself see the disc or not? I'm going to guess the drive is naffed, personally. (* beyond the inability to open it twice in a row without the key expiring or the version changing and needing to be updated).

The drive must be the problem. About half of the discs that won’t rip aren’t recognized by OSX. I also had a folder of DVD-Rs from ~15yrs ago, had a 50% success rate with those, vs. 10% with retail. Didn’t expect that.

I cannot walk you through it (I've never done it myself, I abstain from exposing my home network to the internet.) If you cannot get it going with the Wireguard quickstart I would suggest you skip it and not expose your computers to the internet.

Would SSH port forwarding be more or less the same security? I changed from the default ssh port, but i'll just forward ports on my phone for quick access.

deong posted:Would SSH port forwarding be more or less the same security? If you stay on top of security updates, have an appropriately configured sshd, and a fail2ban program going, it's comparable. But if you don't lock yourself out after a few failed attempts don't bother. I don't strictly care about port 22 vs others, the internet will find you. Nothing less than this: PermitRootLogin no PermitEmptyPasswords no PasswordAuthentication no ChallengeResponseAuthentication no Test and make sure it works. Test the positive (ed25519 key or whatever works) and the negative (root@ fails, if you give it the wrong key it just hangs up on you rather than asking for a password, etc.)

Back when I had an forwarded SSH port I had my firewall block all IP ranges except for the ones my cell phone and my ISP could be on. It was probably pretty unsafe still, but hey at least I didn't have a constant stream of Chinese and Russian IPs trying to log in. If we ever get unlimited Internet access here I might try to share my PLEX library with a friend, but for now we get charged for overages, so that's not happening.

It was a multi-layered attack that was essentially impractical to use and plex was hardened against any similar attacks working via other means as a result. The proof of concept was given up to a bug bounty program. That's why anyone discovering these things either has a large target in mind, or a bug bounty program.

I keep sonarr/radarr behind nginx reverse proxy and protect it with basic auth/fail2ban. I use the swag (previously letsencrypt) docker container which does essentially all of that for me.
