For the hell of it, for those of you with nothing better to do than read dirty laundry Reddit posts on Valentine’s evening, I shall share my current, convoluted, barely-Plex-related situation.
*seriously though, this is only very mildly Plex related and mostly just sordid drama that some may enjoy reading/discussing–if that isn’t you, please move on and have a great evening!
In March 2020 my wife, who I’d been with for 14 years and married to for 9, tells me she wants a divorce, without ever telling me she was unhappy or anything. Ever. She “just need[s] to be alone” now. This crushed me. I’d always thought there were things one could do that would result in immediate grounds for divorce, like cheating or major lying, etc. Everything else two people who’d been together so long would surely talk about and try to remedy prior to splitting up, right? Apparently not.
Because I’m a sucker, still reeling from losing my best friend and other half with no …
I know the youtube-dl, but is there any solution out of the box to make this happen?
Maybe with also youtube thumbnails?
Hi Reddit, I’ve decided to review all my current providers. Please note that the only relations I have with the mentioned providers is as a customer. I am not being compensated in any way. I will be doing an indexer review soon as well.
With that out of the way, let’s begin….
NewsHosting (NewsHosting.com)
My first provider was NewsHosting, I got on during their $20 annual deal. High retention on the Highwinds backbone, and cheap. However articles are relatively frequently missing. Speed is fine, often getting near max my gigabit line rate, but sometimes falling to around half that.
Bottom Line: Cheap, good speed, high retention, mediocre completion.
Will I Renew: No, see further below for why.
UsenetNow (UsenetNow.net)
I hopped on during this free weekend. Seems to be largely the same as NewsHosting, which is expected as they’re a reseller. More expensive than NewsHosting, but they accept crypto. Not too much else to say in my short trial period.
Bottom …

So, I worked forever to try to get the reverse proxy working for all the different automation programs I had working on a Windows 10 machine. It seems each one needs a little different instruction. In case it’s useful to others, here’s what worked for me. I’m a newb, so I’m sure there are improvements that could be made (open to suggestions!), but this is working for everything. I’ve replaced my domain with YOURSITE.COM below, but you should use your own (if you’re hosting at home, you’ll probably want a ddns service – I use Google domains and my router updates the Google name server nicely). First, I included a universal port 80 redirect to 443:
server {
listen 80;
server_name localhost YOURSITE.COM www.YOURSITE.COM;
return 301 https://YOURSITE.COM$request_uri;
location / {
root html;
index index.html index.htm;
}

Hello everyone. We have been quiet on the sales front for a while. Mostly working on getting a lot of the back end business situated. But we decided to throw together a quick Terabyte Tuesday offer at NGD to help you guys out.
(It should show up as a popup at the bottom of the page)
I have also updated the NewsDemon Price Match page: https://premium.newsdemon.com/usenet-price-match/
If I missed any great deals that are still active, please submit them here: https://premium.newsdemon.com/submit-usenet-deal/
As always, thank you all so much for your support. We do ask that anyone with an Unlimited account at any of our properties on the UsenetExpress backbone set us as top priority in your news reader. We have bandwidth to spare.

For the past 24 hours, my SABNZBd history shows that all downloads downloaded at only 1.6 megabytes per second. This is mainly on providers on the HW provider branch (https://burwinch.github.io/usenet_tree/usenet_tree.svg).
Checked my speed, and outside of NNTP, my internet speed is normal. Must be a bottle neck from my country to HW. Just checking if anyone else is having similar problems?
It seems to be happening almost weekly now. From my end, it seems everything is configured correctly. I can go into NZBHydra and everything is fine.
I have to go into settings and ‘Test’ the indexer for it to be okay again. Is there a way to simply run the test daily, or even hourly to avoid this error popping up? I’m running Linux so if there’s a command to do it, I can just script it.
Thanks!
how do i make radarr grab releases with surround sounds? i’d prefer Atmos, 9.1, 7.1, 5.1. i’m lost.
Didn’t know either of these apps exist until today.
What do people prefer to use and why?
