Overseerr is nicer than ombi imo and it plays very nice on mobile. Piece of cake to use, and it has some nice stuff like letting you browse a networks content (eg HBO, Netflix, CBS, Disney etc) which is really nice for finding new stuff.

I finally got Radarr v4 working in a TrueNAS jail but it won't let me use Jackett pointed to /all, which I guess wasn't a good idea in the first place. So I've already got to set up another jail for Prowlarr and now this? Stop making me make new jails :argh:

For those with a large amount of linux ISOs, how do you handle backups?

I keep my ISOs on an external USB drive plugged into the desktop, no backup solution. I know it's only a matter of time before that bites me.

I personally do not backup linux ISOs. They can be downloaded again. Backing up that junk is just a waste of bits (in my opinion). You could get a NAS and have 2 drives mirroring and survive if one kicks the bucket, though I personally do not do that as I do not believe it's worth it. I backup important stuff to B2. It's extremely cheap to upload and store it there, it's expensive to download (or ship a drive). But, if I need that backup then yeah, that'll be worth it. I hope I never do.

Thanks. I was thinking along the same track of "just download the ISO again" in the event of a crash.

I recently moved my whole setup to a seedbox in the Netherlands on a gigabit pipe. It took less than a day to redownload all my Linux ISOs.

Yeah the vast majority of stuff will be readily available for the forseeable future, and if it's not we'll probably all have bigger problems to deal with. If it's something truly obscure and hard to find then yeah maybe throw it in a B2 or something, but if you ever need Linux ISO Wars Episode II: Attack of the rclone you can just grab another copy with a few mouseclicks.

I am probably doing things the hardest way possible with FreeNAS jails, but I do have a short list of commands that I can run for every new jail now and just change out the app name as needed. Adding stuff to Prowlarr now and it is indeed pretty easy and nice looking. Putting in all these public trackers is going to be a grind, again :mad:

Sure: https://www.seedhost.eu/dedicated-seedboxes.php It's not super cheap (I got the 16TB storage one), but I'm sick of managing hard drives, worrying if they're gonna fail, wondering if I should set up a NAS or homebrew one myself, etc. Plus, I want to be able to access my Plex remotely, share it with friends, and let it transcode (before I was running everything off a Raspberry Pi, so if Roku couldn't play a file natively, I couldn't play it), I don't want to worry about my own bandwidth when I download a few seasons of Linux ISOs, and I can use public torrents for Linux ISOs. I can also seed torrents indefinitely without worrying about my own upload bandwidth, so I can give something back to the open source community.

The only real drawbacks are the price, the fact that now everything is remote so I use bandwidth to watch stuff, and that I'm not sure what happens if I need more storage.

They give shell access (but not root), every program I've wanted to install has a one-click thing on their control panel, but I should be able to install arbitrary stuff as long as it doesn't need root.

But drat, is it sick to hit download on a 10 gig Linux ISO and have it... ready to install... and showing up in Plex in like a minute.

I just run a cron job once a month that dumps a directory listing of the media shares to a text file and emails me a copy. I use unRAID and it has some redundancy built in but if I lose two drives and the media goes with it then oh well, get it again later. I only back up things I really care about, personally ripped media and very rare stuff.

The trouble with going the packrat route is that it will never end unless you actively cycle things and no one has time to do that. So yeah just try not to care about it.

This. Anything truly difficult to recreate/find again gets backed up on separate physical media (DVD discs, another external HDD, or Google Cloud for documents/photos). Otherwise pool redundancy has been enough for close to 14 years for everything else, and it's survived disk failures, controller failures, and machine failures. Longest it might take to get back online is 2-3 days if I don't mind waiting for parts to ship, or I can drive to the closest Microcenter and get whatever I need.

Backing up 60TB of zpool space mostly filled with easily replaceable data seems like it's not worth the time/effort. But then again it's all home use, so it's not like downtime affects much of anything. Having a list of what was on the pool is more important.

Is Mylar just a bad app? I’ve poked at it from time to time but it always is either borderline unusable due to errors/crashes or just doesn’t do anything. It’s super weird as linuxserver’s stuff is usually pretty rock solid.

Is the container on the Mylar3 branch? The original has been EOL’d since 2020.

I’ve tried Mylar3 and Mylar…..not 3, and only ever got the latter to do anything approaching anything. It’s not a huge issue, but it seems odd that LSIO would feature a broken app so I thought the problem could be on my end.

Is there a way to get better failed download handling without an *rr? I'm just lazy, don't want to download much stuff. Most of the time I can just download an NZB through the indexer's website and then drop it into SABnzbd and it works, but when it doesn't work my computer doesn't like it very much at all.

Not really?

SABnzbd has no idea what you’re downloading, it just takes the nzb and does it’s thing. All of the “that download failed, let’s find something else” lifting is done by an *arr because those know what you were looking for so can look for another version.

Sorry I should have been more specific. When SABnzbd fails it usually hard locks/crashes the whole computer. I just want that to not happen.

Yeah that sounds like something is going super badly wrong and you’re going to need to dissect logs. Switching to get is probably the easiest solution, and to my knowledge both programs are pretty feature matched these days and most people just stick with what they’re used to.

Something is quite hosed up with your system if SABnzbd is causing a hard lock, especially if it's repeatable.

As a general rule, if a normal application is able to cause a total system crash on an operating system that doesn't just let apps do whatever they want to the whole system (read: anything newer than Win9x and MacOS 9) there is either a problem with the hardware or the OS itself.

I'd bet you either have a RAM problem or a failing disk if a download needing repair is what triggers your problem. Try making a Memtest86 USB, boot that, and let it run for the night.

A lot of things that didn't get hits on BlockNews got hits on TheCubeNet, but I've just had such a repeatedly awful experience with them (Both times I've bought from them, I had to email them to rejig my account after doing a block-based password change -- something that I had to do anyway because the password that came with it didn't work. I have one 50 gig block with 4gig left and it craps out when I try to actually download from them, etc. Just absolutely loving awful and tedious for a service that should literally just work). I'm wondering if I can just go to a reseller for the same network and get something around the same price that actually loving works

you can use https://whatsmyuse.net/ and then just enable the direct backbone check but i would bet the same issues would happen on any of the resellers but who knows. i am surprised you found so much on that didnt work on blocknews. how old were the posts? ive generally had bad experience on anything that was on the usenet express network.

Okay I'm kind of at my wits end here. I've got Plex running on my Synology NAS all hooked up with sonarr/radarr/sabnzbg/etc and generally playing content on my LG CX oled. Starting around maybe about 9 months ago a lot of releases have started playing with green-purple hues all over everything (and if I try to watch Plex on my PC, I get "Color Space Not Supported"). I can't tell from Sonarr/Radarrs file listing what exactly is causing it but it appears to be related to Dolby Vision although it's usually not marked in file names. I've had to go through about 10 different downloads to find one that finally worked. I didn't use to have an issue with HDR content so this is really something that's only sprung up recently and no idea why HDR suddenly is loving everything up?

What the gently caress do I need to blacklist from NZBHydra/*arr programs, or is there any way to fix my LG CX/Plex such that DV content plays without it all being colored purple/green? I guess I could force requiring "SDR" in title but even that doesnt meant every listing will have it or not have it; and I kinda liked having HDR working before.
