And yet his followers would just start wearing diapers and carrying signs saying “real men wear diapers”

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.

Reason I asked about Synology was because there’s a good guide here for the arr deployment. I adapted it for my ugreen nas. Might be able to find parallels with whatever set up you’ve got going on.

Usenet is archaic, but therein lies the protection. It’s a straight download of desperate files that a program you run puts together. Safer than torrent, but your options may be more limited.

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’.”

Coming from Synology it was a little too walled garden for me and I also hated their software, but that was also my first forray into nas. Good place to get my feet wet and all. I’m not really well versed in nas os’s though, any recommendations?

Unrelated anecdote, my brother’s then wife post a picture of them on Facebook. Our aunt saw it, took a picture of her monitor with her phone, went to the store to have them print the photo out on photo paper, and then mailed it to my brother.

So he got his original photo back, but at a greatly reduced quality and with monitor glare added!

I don’t have any experience with them yet, but I was looking at a kagi search subscription and that comes with AI usage from different models. Could be an option?

Same thing happened in 2021-ish when WhatsApp changed their policy that all your information would be shared with Facebook. Outrage pushed it back six months, and then they did it anyway.

It’s always easier when you mentally substitute “economy” with “rich people’s yacht money”.

“Supreme Court justices should be [terrible thing, deadly, obviously bad outcome for them]”

Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas dissented.

Except the dumfucks have railed against the idea of a national id number since before they removed “Not to be used for ID” from the SS cards. So instead we have a national id number that was never meant to be one and stupidly easy to figure out.

I mean, they did send over their religious extremists, slavers, and prisoners, before moving on to other colonies. And the US has never recovered.

It was like that here when Reddit fell caused people to leave and look for something better. Give it time, and interact!

Thank you. Borders are stupid, we are all humans and we only have one floating rock. Also, I love the Danes I’ve met.

Others have said it, but definitely speed them up. I used to have the same complaint, but now I keep it at 1.25x and adjust from there.

I know others have answered, but I wanted to give you a link. I have their device and it works great for turning things off and on out of the box. You can run it locally—if you have the hardware—or use their reasonably priced cloud subscription. I do the latter wanting to support them monetarily.
