To elaborate, my Plex system is a very, very decent computer with a 5800x and RTX 3080. Was just wondering if I could make it a bit more snappy I guess. I don't use it for anything but Plex, and remoting into, to work Usenet, and I was considering getting a monitor and making it a secondary machine for idk, when people come over they could play pc games with me or something, with both of us on separate machines (main machine is best of everything). Rawrbomb posted:Your not in active use hard drives should not be slowing down the processing of the system in any reasonable way. Why do you think turning the HDD's off will improve the performance of the system? I just notice that the Plex system with all the hard drives operates more slowly than my main computer, which is 100% solid state. So I'm wondering if that can be improved. Violator posted:Yeah, it may be different on Windows and in your setup, but for me powering down hard drives was a huge performance hit because every time I needed to access them or the system wanted to do something (like a global search or status scan) I had to wait for them to spin up. I would literally sit there and hear each one spin up while the UI beachballed until everything came online. That's fair, maybe it's not worth it. Motronic posted:This is a power saving setting question that is 100% dependent on the operating system you're running and potentially drivers/driver compatibility. Just Windows 11. It's really no big deal I was just trying to make the system work a bit better.

Also there is definitely a reason that the power off count is one of the SMART counters, i imagine it places at least some amount of wear on the drive on startup.

What is the OS hard drive (SSD?) and swap on? How much ram? Can you more clearly define snappy? Like are things slow in general, like menu animations etc? Are you on the latest BIOS and, are you sure you enabled the DOCP/XMP profiles for your ram? I had neglected to enable DOCP on my partners and my computer for a bit, which was a pretty massive performance hit at times. norp posted:Also there is definitely a reason that the power off count is one of the SMART counters, i imagine it places at least some amount of wear on the drive on startup. Yeah, ideally, you just let them keep spinning. At least if someone is going to access something on them.

Drunkenslug registration is open if anyone needs a good indexer. Between Drunkenslug and Geek I am pretty well covered. I also prefer the actual search on Drunkenslug over geek if I have to manually search for something. https://drunkenslug.com/register

Substandard posted:If I'm using Sonarr / Lidarr am I likely to hit 1000 API hits in a day? That would be each system hitting it once every three minutes. I think 15 minutes is the default setting for *arrs but I could be wrong, and you should be able to configure it to check less often than that.

There's not much reason to have Radarr and Lidarr checking more than every six hours or so, considering how infrequently movies and albums get released. Even at the default though, I wouldn't expect to hit 1000 a day unless you're in Radarr manually clicking search on a bunch of individual episodes all the time.

You can do it if you’re setting up a fresh system and trying to backfill a shitload of things, but if you already have an established library and it’s strictly new stuff going forward you probably won’t ever get close to putting a dent in that.

I like TabulaRasa a lot alongside geek and slug. I just checked my Prowlarr stats and it's my highest queried indexer. E: high failure rate too so grain of salt!

I recently realized my geek account had been suspended for an insecure Sonarr/Radarr installation. This confused me as I use authentication on all my *arrs, and I've been using the same setup (with Prowlarr, no less, so Sonarr/Radarr shouldn't be hitting the indexers directly even) for over a year. Eventually I realized that a) I still had port forwarding going to an old RPi I used to run my *arrs on, b) I had disabled auth on those, apparently, and c) at some point I had scooched cables on my TV stand so that it unplugged the RPi, and recently messing with some inputs had scooched it back to plugged in. Whoopsie. reminded me of this oldass bash.org quote: quote:I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my apartment it is.

I feel that Geek is the best indexer and it's not close. I am constantly amazed at what it pulls down that no other indexer has. This is particularly true of content that has been forcibly removed elsewhere - I think everyone knows what I'm talking about (linux ISOs from HBO for example). Or I'll look for a 4k remux linux ISO where the most recent upload is 2-3 years ago and almost inevitably, Geek is the one who still has a working link. The best indexer for anime that I've found is nzb.su, but I get that's not everyone's cup of tea. If someone knows a better anime indexer, I'm curious. Shout out to Anime Tosho here, even if only some of the stuff there gets uploaded to Usenet, it's still pretty drat good. For me, the combo of nzb.su and geek has covered basically everything. I paid for Slug for a while but honestly wasn't that impressed. It's not bad or anything, but Geek usually has everything that Slug has in my experience, for the stuff I'm getting at least, in particular 4k remux and hard to find shows. However I will give some credit for Slug in that they occasionally have the odd find that you can't cop elsewhere, but that has been less true recently in my experience. I no longer pay for Slug and don't feel like it affected me in any way. Taima fucked around with this message at 13:45 on Aug 26, 2023 |

They are one of the hush hush indexers who don't want people talking about them anywhere. They have invites for members occasionally. They also opened registration when nzbs.org died. That's how I got in.

Yeah and I’m gonna guess if discussion was in the open they’d cream the public ones. There’s stuff that goes through that definitely feels unique. Obviously if all you want is latest tv/movie stuff that’s easy regardless no matter what you use.

I always have at least 4 indexers in rotation because they disappear without warning most of the time. Going by the prowlarr stats, my grabs are from all over the place which is good because I don't want to be reliant on any single source after nzbs.org went kaput (RIP).

Just checked my Prowlarr stats and noticed this which seemed odd: Both Lidarr and Sonarr are set to 15 minute refresh on RSS which I don't recall changing for either one but Lidarr has about 33% more RSS queries.

Is there anywhere on the entire internet that can saturate a connection the way that Usenet can? 100MB+ per second on a Linux ISO? Isn't Usenet literally based on like, 30 year old web forum technology that somehow got amalgamated into one of the most singularly impressive stores of data, if not THE most singularly impressive store of data in the entire world? It's wild to think about. It really makes me wonder how the Usenet backbones even store all of this poo poo. Is there any information available on how raw data is stored on a given Usenet backbone? It must be indescribable; I've downloaded files up to 10+ years old. That's not possible on every backbone, but some of them fully allow that to the point where the tiny NZB source file to find the files on the indexer has as high of a chance of being misplaced or overwritten as the actual files themselves. Idk it's a modern miracle and I don't know how these files even get stored in such vast quantities. And it's even weirder that it's solely the purview of super nerds like ourselves- this incredible Library of Alexandria store of linux ISOs that requires multiple paid subscriptions, cobbled together, to access. I don't know where I'm going with this, it just hits me sometimes how underrated Usenet is for how loving incredible it is. Jel Shaker posted:hmm i only get 5 using giga news so i might just move to someone else then Hmm, well you could try increasing the number of connections! That can very often boost download speeds and it will state on your plan how many connections you can have. Just keep in mind that more connections is almost never better, after a certain point; increase the number of connections slowly and stop when adding more doesn't increase your speed. And keep in mind that for whatever reason, some files just move slower than others, so when you're increasing your connections, don't take the word of any single file when measuring. Beyond that you could try a new service. I use Newsgroup Ninja and pay $3.33 a month, but I'm on some kind of locked in promo so YMMV idk what it costs now.

I downloaded a solid terabyte of Linux ISOs last night at a sustained peak of 150MB/s just because I could and it's so absurdly easy when it's set up properly. Reminds me of how insanely far things have come since I would set my computer to download an 80MB game demo before going to bed and hoping that it would be done over 56k by the morning.

I always thought it had something to do with Usenet being 'headless', like how a server can operate faster with less resources without a GUI. That or the only people nerdy enough to maintain its infrastructure are actual code wizards still lumbering around since the dawn of the internet.

UUCP hit the scene in 1970, and by 1979 there were 3 nodes sharing what we'd call news groups now. I owned an ISP about 30 years ago and actually wrote a Linux kernel module to server small usenet posts faster in like '95. It's really an interesting problem.
