It's not that complicated.

Just run docker containers for the services you need, radarr for movies, sonarr for tv, sabznd for downloading, and plex/jellyfin/emby to stream them.

(Please don't try to explain to me what a plex server is)

use jellyfin - first you need to need understand that what most people are refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

The Record's Political Editor has been suggesting some in the Nats want John Swinney, which feels like the Tories in 2005 re-electing William Hague as leader instead of going to David Cameron. He was not successful first time round & if the best you can offer is Swinney then we might as well give up and let the Wee Free sink independence for a generation or more in the hope poisoning that well. I don't loving know.

The party are very rapidly coalescing around Swinney. Time to party like it's 2003. Gonna head to an Iraq War protest and take out some subprime mortgages in celebration.

For years I've had a FreeNAS / Kodi setup that's been pretty solid, I just drop files on it and they play.

That was until last week when the TV app automatically updated and broke the database, and I had to spend almost two hours of my weekend digging through obscure SQL server documentation. :yaycloud:

Yeah media servers are super simple with hardly any research, you just need to tune your raspberry pi to turbo encabulation mode and ensure that its modial integrators are aligned to reduce magneto-reluctance and increase capacitive directance. Then you just fire up the hydrocoptic marzlevanes and turn the phase detractors to CM-only mode and it'll just work.

All this reluctance to understand how a simple server stack works is just another example of the shocking tech illiteracy of the youth of today imo. Bunch of Luddites (bad meaning) in this thread.

These representations of Plex must be put out by the likes of FACT or some other anti-piracy body, because they’re so unnecessarily convoluted. I’ve used a Plex server for more than a decade and my friend who also has one thinks I’m stupid for having it read from my NAS. I just download a torrent, put the file on my NAS, Plex indexes it. That’s it.

My friend runs Plex on a server that also runs a torrent client and it has sonarr as a front end that lets you subscribe to a series, have it automatically download, and show up like it’s on a streaming service.

The main advantage is you could continue to pretty much do that exact thing except nobody will come along and tell you that you’re doing it wrong because you should definitely be using Plex as far as they’re concerned.

It does this. It even does it if you delete the series and then add it again later, as I’ve found.

But despite the virtue signalling rants of the left stating that filthy streets are the fault of government I say you are only partly right.

Yes governments have allowed uncontrolled migration and Illegal Migration which has allowed third world cultures to form ghettos in our towns and cities. And yes our councillors have failed to make their councils act.

But living in filth us a choice and is not because you are poor.

Canada of all places doing the "there is no more land to build houses on!" is so loving funny.

On the other hand, their only solution seems to be "more urban sprawl". It's a real problem because just spreading out for miles in every direction and filling it with low density housing is super unsustainable. Those houses bring in less tax revenue than it takes to service all of the roads and other infrastructure needed to serve them - so higher density areas, which are mainly lived in by less well-off people, end up subisidising the suburbs (where richer people live) through their property taxes. What we need is density but Canadians are loving allergic to it*.

That said, more cities etc. (including I believe the province of Ontario where almost 40% of Canadians live) now seem to be passing amendments to their zoning laws which do things like give a blanket allowance for all existing lots to now have 3 housing units on them, allowing for densification. Of course you still have to have homeowners actually opt to add units onto their land which is expensive and difficult on many suburban lots. What we really need to do is stop building more developments which are solely full of single-family detached homes and build actual medium density developments.

Another thing that might make sense is to "do a Milton Keynes" and build a commuter town outside of Toronto, with a high-speed rail link... but Canadians are loving allergic to passenger rail too which is completely ludicrous considering the geography and spread-out nature of Canada.

*There's the possible exception of Montreal where mid-density housing exists and is good. If you didn't need to speak French to live there, I might consider it.
