As I’m sure most people know, Google Photo is no longer going to provide additional free storage for photos starting this summer.
I’ve been trying multiple solutions to try to find a good alternative.
Using Plex as my photo storage is so close to what I want, but it’s not quite there.
Plex needs a dedicated app that is just for the photos that you have on your server. Plexamp is a perfect app for the music side of things. Why isn’t there an app to use for Plex Photos?
Currently it’s a hassle to open up the normal Plex app to view your photo library. Plus, I have a problem that my photos from my Android don’t automatically get uploaded to my server, even though I have that enabled. I have to go into the Plex App settings and manually start the upload. From my searching this seems to be a decently common issue.
Does anyone else wish that Plex had a good app dedicated to Photos? I feel like if they did they’d actually be a pretty good …
With the end of Usenet services at Altopia, I have some servers/drives to unload. This is pretty Seattle focused, since I am unlikely to ship things unless there is a good amount of money offered, but I thought folks here might enjoy seeing a little bit of the sausage details: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1cn9mDsJz-A1A6jliFqCn5y0768X_SDPsMkKs8_kNDEw
All drives have received a fresh coat of data on their platters!

I just tried to pay for Drunken Slug. They asked for 10 EUR so I switched Coinbase to EUR and sent it along. And it turns out I am 0.00000013 BTC too short because of price fluctuations. While I have enough bitcoin, I do not have enough for the minimum transfer value, in my account.
So do I just fucking, lose this money now? or what. I can’t find anything about if Mycelium Gear refunds it. There’s still 1 hour 30 minutes left, so do I dump more money in and hope they refund me the extra, or wait and see if when the order times out, that it goes through?
Has anyone else had this experience with paying to Usenet indexers before? Can I get in touch with the guy running Drunken Slug?
Some of the things I have been trying to download have been failing recently and I would like to add a block/ second cheap Usenet account with my newshosting unlimited account to maybe help fix this. Are there any recommendations? I have been eyeing vipernews since they are ntd and a different backbone. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!
I’ve been running with Newshosting and just grabbed the Eweka deal. Are speeds affected or any benefit in using the US server with Newshosting compares to NL server with Eweka as priority? I’m located in US.
The long awaited moment has finally arrived. Starting today (3/8/2021) Sonarr v2 is now officially EOL and unsupported. Sonarr v3 is officially out of beta and is the stable release.
For those who were beta testing v3 go to System -> Updates and get updated.
Release Notes
I saw some posts on this a month or two ago, but it seems the issue is still present as of Friday.
Disney+ shows like WandaVision would download successfully, but more often than not I had to force the import. Did I remember correctly that it was due to some mismatch on release dates? I’m just curious if there’s a solution for when Falcon and the Winter Soldier comes out so downloads can be promptly imported?
EDIT: thanks to u/raxia and u/Planetix for the solution: Settings - Media Management - Show Advanced - Importing - Episode Title Required: Never
As you can probably tell from the title, I am very new at this.
I used this guide for setting up them both, and I made them run on the same port, 38082. How do I change it back to a unused port? I have tried to search for this problem, but I can’t find anything.
Edit: Here are my logs.
Any help is appreciated!
Is there any way to make Sonarr only grab releases that have the word “Uncensored” in the filename, but only for a specific show?
I have my quality settings set to the default in Sonarr. The files are much bigger than what I used to get before my current setup, but it seems worthwhile so I don’t bother to tamper.
TV Shows are by far the biggest consumer of disk space on my server. Which is obvious really; 2000 episodes vs 100 films, pretty reasonable to consume so much more.
But a lot of shows I watch are older programmes; Frasier, Red Dwarf, Blackadder, etc.
When I download these programs, I often get large 1080p files, at like 2-3GB per episode. Pretty sure these old shows did not broadcast at these resolutions, and thus the upscaling doesn’t achieve anything but wasted disk space.
Could anyone shed some light on this? Why do these large resolutions exist for shows that came out in the 80s and 90s? Should I still get them at large resolutions? If not, should I be filtering by quality for different shows (which is actually quite annoying for a show like Red Dwarf, that is releasing HD episodes for their last …
