Un Dorian Gray sin pasado, ni patria ni bandera.

I’m just a guy in the #pnw who likes going on adventures, and playing games with friends.

Three things I love: the Oxford Comma, irony, and missed opportunities.

    You’re trying to apply logic to English? You’re also assuming people actually think about what they’re saying or even know the so called rules of English. If that were the case we wouldn’t have people mixing up their/there/they’re or your/you’re its/it’s etc.

    Fact of the matter, if everything you said were true, we wouldn’t have people wishing for a way to clarify and we wouldn’t be having this conversation.







  • Well, Synology is a brand name NAS aimed at beginners with their own “OS”. Unless you were planning on dropping a decent chunk of change to buy one, it’s a moot point. But because it’s a popular option among people starting out, I was curious of that was your situation, in which case that link would walk you through everything you needed to know, including its quirks.

    I replied to someone else in this thread on how to get started with Usenet if you’re interested. It boils down to two subscriptions and another container running with your arrs stack.


  • You need two subscriptions. One to an indexer (https://nzb.su/) which acts like a search engine, and two to a Usenet that hosts media (https://frugalusenet.com/). These two aren’t the only two options out there, but I’ve been using them for years. YMMV.

    Once you have those subscriptions, you need to run sabnzbd in a docker container near your arrs, and point your arrs to the indexer as well as to sabnzbd. Tell Sonarr you want to find a show, it uses the indexer to see where it can be found, tells sabnzbd to acquire it using the servers you paid for in the Usenet group, downloads and pieces it back together and then files it where Sonarr tells it to. Jellyfin notices that media folder has something new, and you can watch it wherever.

    For more interesting cat facts, be sure to smash that subscribe button.



  • What are you running? Does it happen to be some all in one solution like Synology or Ugreen?

    But the gist of it is you get the arrs running in a docker stack, jellyfin running in another. You don’t actually have to point them at each other: the arrs dump your films/series into a media folder you define. You tell your jellyfin server what folder has your media and bob’s your uncle.

    I prefer using Usenet to download my media. Pros, not torrent, less risk. Cons, costs a bit each year.









  • This doesn’t affect me at all, so I’m speculating and willing to be wrong. But the way the Guardian described it was that this change was published last October on governmental websites, but never disseminated to the media or people in general, which is why people were caught unawares. If true, it feels an awful bit like

    “But Mr Dent, the plans have been available in the local planning office for the last nine months.”

    “Oh yes, well as soon as I heard I went straight round to see them, yesterday afternoon. You hadn’t exactly gone out of your way to call attention to them, had you? I mean, like actually telling anybody or anything.”

    “But the plans were on display …”

    “On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.”

    “That’s the display department.”

    “With a torch.”

    “Ah, well the lights had probably gone.”

    “So had the stairs.”

    “But look, you found the notice didn’t you?”

    “Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard’.”
