You don’t need to be able to serve 6 4k streams at the same time. For most of you, this will be a fun thing you did for a year or two and then stopped, and that’s fine. It’s a lot less fine if you start by spending $2K+ on a high quality machine with 20TB of enterprise storage and then decide you don’t actually need that and wish you had your money back. Ever tried selling used hard drives….? Feelsbadman.
You don’t need high end hardware to experiment running your own plex server. Here’s how a random person on the internet suggests “getting started” with Plex and home servers.
Looks like Plex are having a ‘major outage’ with their DNS servers again atm sadly.
So if you’re having issues with remote access and you’re scratching your chin why, it’s probably not you! ;)
We finally launched a way for our members to pay via crypto without having to use Bitpay. This cuts out the middleman, which has some valid privacy awesomeness, and reduces the fees associated with making a payment via crypto.
Last night when I ran tests, BTCPay saved 50% on the total transaction when paying with Litecoin as opposed to using Bitpay.
This morning, it cost 0.00007324 BTC total for a $12 USD transaction using BTCPay and 0.00018991 BTC when trying to pay via Bitpay which is a substantial savings (~62%) if you choose BTCPay.
We have also had many members request Monero (XMR) due to it being one of the hardest (impossible?) crypto payments to track.
You can still choose to pay with Bitpay if you like, it does still offer support for BCH, DOGE, and XRP which we do not currently have added in BTCPay.
I will manually add an additional three months of service for the first ten TWENTY-FIVE people who sign up using BTCPay. We would like to get some live tests going to help …
Even though I already have too many providers (I have NewsDemon for 12 yrs, and Frugal to support the “little guys” and Newshosting for deep retention) and a few blocks, I decided to give the $1 UsenetServer promo posted a trial to see how they compared. Yes, I know they share a backbone with NewsHosting.
I have received article availability ranging from 95-98% with my present providers and could usually download enough to allow repair if needed if there were missing articles. Newshosting provides deep retention for those files that haven’t been reuploaded, which contrary to some posters on this sub is a substantial amount (and not porn). But I like to experiment, so I did.
I downloaded almost 50 Linux Distros of various sizes and ages with 8 over 5000 days. The oldest was 5348 days old. Here are the results.

I current have NZBgeek and am looking into registering to either altHUB or Miatrix. Which would be the better choice for maximum “search coverage”?
EDIT: Should mention that I’m looking for TV and movies. Particularly, I’m having a hard time finding a lot of cooking shows and old cartoons right now
EDIT2: nzb.su is also an option. $1 a month is crazy
Does anyone know where to find the one month deal? About 2 months ago I was able to find it for €7.50 but can’t seem to find it anymore
I’ve set up Sonarr to automatically download F1 races, which works fine.
Except the internal calender it uses is wrong, for instance the next race in Suzuka has the race at 1400 local time, which is 0700 my time, however Sonarr insists the broadcast is at 2000 my time, so it starts downloading 13 hours too late.
Any tips on where it gets its times?
I almost had a stroke when I went to play a movie today that had odd motion smoothing enabled. I legitimately thought my TV was broken until I played something else that did not have this issue.
I looked at the file downloaded which was:
Movie.Name.Year.2160p.HDR.AI.Enhance.ENG.RUS.GER.CZE.POL.TUR.HUN.ITA.LATINO.DTS-HD.Master.DDP5.1.x265.MKV-BEN.THE.MEN.mkv
Is there a way to filter these AI “”“”““enhanced”“”“”” releases?
I’m aware that TRaSH guides has a method of preventing bad fan made upscales from being grabbed but given the recent garbage releases of Aliens, Tue Lies and the Abyss, it doesn’t seem like it catches these since they’re ‘official’ and just get tagged as 4k uhd remuxes.
Is there a good way to prevent these types of releases being grabbed automatically, or is this just something people are going to have to start manually making lists of to track and just make sure you don’t use a quality profile that will grab the bad releases?
Or just give up and manually grab and add the best release for each film and prevent upgrades?
Anyone ever seen this happen before? lol I woke up today to see I had an episode missing, upon checking I was greeted with the following spam.
Anyone ever seen this happen? This is a first for me.
I’ve tried out Homarr and Homepage (also nzb360 and LunaSea) but can’t find the feature I’m really looking for.
Sometimes completed downloads chill in the Queue for a while for reasons (file not an upgrade, no match, etc). I’d love to easily see what’s in my queues, because I almost always have to take manual action.
And I’d also love a list of recently added items. (This signal could come from Plex; doesn’t make a difference.)
Does some adjacent project aggregate and display this? I want this on the same screen, not split between TV/Movies/etc. I’m happy to file a feature request but.. just surprised I haven’t seen this already; kinda assuming I’m not the only user who would want it. :) Thanks fam
