It’s also free in the Bitwarden app if you self-host with Vaultwarden. It’s only a paid feature if you’re using their hosting, and seemingly only so they can dangle it as a “premium” benefit.

A mini PC with a USB IR receiver and whatever old remote you have to spare. It takes a bit of setup to map the remote with something like LIRC, but it works great once that’s done.

It reduces your available peers. You can’t connect to other people with closed ports, one side needs to be open.

It isn’t a huge deal with popular torrents, but it can cause problems with unpopular/old stuff.

I’ve seen SSDs hit 100TB, but those are $40k+. And more “reasonable” options like 64TB for $10k or so.

HDDs just reached 30TB, but I don’t think those are widely available yet. 24TB is the biggest you can expect to see for sale.

Usenet is a lot faster than torrents, you don’t need a VPN, and it’s more reliable than anything but great private trackers.

This is the fucking dream. Lidarr is serviceable to get a library going, but we could do so much better.

Lidarr is the corresponding program for music, setup is almost identical to what you’re already running. And if you use Prowlarr to manage your indexers, it also works with Lidarr.

If you go to your torrent client and disable the missing file, it should get reported as “complete” to the *arrs. Manual and annoying, but it works.

You don’t even need to purchase a domain, free dynDNS services (DuckDNS or similar) are good enough for Jellyfin and the like.

I’ve had this happen a couple times, and contacting the seller directly has gotten it sorted out. Even if they seem sketchy, they don’t want to take a hit to their reputation. If they don’t want to help, I’d escalate to eBay support.

If neither of them work out, then I’d try contacting WD. A refurb with no warranty is better than nothing at that point.

A Zero would probably be way underpowered for the job. I’ve used a Pi 4 in the past and it worked ok, but choked occasionally.

My actual recommendation would be a small x86 box, something like a Lenovo Thinkcentre Tiny. You can get them used for about the price of a Pi, and they’ll be much more reliable.

They’re referencing the TRaSH Guides, a great resource for setup and basic tuning of an *arr stack. It’s where a lot of people get started.

It isn’t just the cover art, they also A/B descriptions. And some of them are so different they’re basically lies.

I’ve used LIRC in the past. Takes a bit of setup, but it works well once you get it going.

Until then, a Raspberry Pi or SFF PC will do the job just fine. They even work with remotes if you get an IR receiver for them.

Same here. But on the bright side, at least data hoarding doesn’t take up a ton of physical space.

I’ve had a lot more luck running it in Docker with gluetun, along with qbittorrent in Docker. That way you can bind the whole qbit container to the VPN, which is basically bulletproof. All config options are available as Docker commands, you just need to use Proton’s website to check the server list and pick your favorite p2p-enabled server.

It does take a little fiddling, but it’s solid once you get it running. Port forwarding works too, once you figure out how to enable it.

These Win10 EoLs are going to flood eBay at dirt cheap prices, and they make great server/project boxes. They’re going to be new toys for the hobbyist crowd, not primary machines.

In general yes, but that doesn’t apply here. Vapes all use rechargeable lithium batteries, even the disposables without a charging port. Other battery chemistries at that size don’t put out enough power.
