So just a fun story, took the kiddo to the dentist today….and they had tv’s everywhere in there. One of the tv’s had nothing playing and it had a plex screensaver lol. In the procedure room they let her pick from a huuuuuuuuuuuuuge list of movies, in the back of my mind I’m like “wow you have a lot of backup copies of your movies…”
This is dumb. Like, mind destroyingly dumd. I was trying to free up some space on one of my PCs. We had some power outages a while back and I’d loaded the machine up with movies. Figured I’d delete them. Clicked on Videos in quick access in Explorer, selected all the movies, and deleted. Explorer warned me it was a ton of stuff and couldn’t use Recycling, I blew past it and kept going freeing up space in other places. An hour or two later I open Plex and am like “where the heck are my movies”. I go up stairs and log into the server. There are no movies on the data drive. Then it hits me. I check the machine I was on earlier and it had the network drive for the Plex server in quick access. I felt in that moment high in the running for dumbest shit on earth.
I recovered from backup, only about a week out of date. My content fetch box is pat hing the holes, and after we’re back up to current I’ll do another backup. So, it didn’t turn out …
plex camera upload no longer supported in a future update

real shame loved using it when it worked
Hi All,
My monthly subscription cost for usenet has dropped from c$9 last year to just $3 this year, with all the sales and price cuts.
Obviously this is great for me, i’m paying 33% of what I used to pay, but fundamentally the difference is not much compared to any daily expensive I can think of.
Within that context, I am worried about the risk of backbones/providers being priced out of the market by the rock bottom pricing. Does anyone have perspective if some key alternative backbones are struggling with the current price market? Or is it all somewhat sustainable.
I’ve been in several situations where under-cost pricing has been used to kill competitors before raising prices again. If so then the $6 benefit I receive a month is temporary and i’d rather use that to get a range of backbones i’ll use minimally (and promote market competition) then be stuck in the old world in a few years of 1 provider for the full $9.
I’m with att fiber (gigabit). Usually my speeds are 600-800 mbps using the US server.
This week i’m seeing much slower, 100-300 mbps and all over the place. Configwise nothing has changed on my end. In fact, get better speeds using .eu and .de servers.
Changing ssl, ports, etc, makes no difference. Number of connections maxed at 30.

Thoughts?
Is it just me, or has Newsdemon’s retention dropped significantly? On the flip side, has virtually everything on Usenet been DMCA’d on Newsdemon’s servers?
Hi all,
St. Patrick’s Day, a cultural and religious celebration in Ireland held on 17 March, the traditional death date of Saint Patrick, the foremost patron saint of Ireland.
According to tradition, Patrick returned to Ireland to convert the pagan Irish to Christianity. It says that he spent many years evangelising in the northern half of Ireland and converted thousands of people.
Fun fact: Patrick’s efforts against the druids were eventually turned into an allegory in which he drove “snakes” out of Ireland, despite the fact that snakes were not known to inhabit the region.
Patrick died on 17 March and was buried at Downpatrick. Over the following centuries, many legends grew up around Patrick and he became Ireland’s foremost saint.
As of right now until Tuesday the 23rd of March (12:00 CET), you’ll get 35% discount!

This community has always been open and supportive. Even when someone asked a question that was dumb or lacking information, they would be welcoming and supportive. Recently I’ve notice a trend of bluntness and arrogance that I don’t want to see this community become. There’s another arr community I’m getting reminiscent vibes.
I’ve been using these as my personal lists, and I’m always down to add more custom lists via recommendations..
If it’s doable, I’ll add it and automate it! So leave your suggestions below..
It’s not much, but it’s my attempt to give back..
EDIT:
If you wanna create your own as well, be sure to checkout /r/mdblist or mdblist.com! If you like the free tool, it’s well worth the donation!
Hi all,
I am developing an application for creating list recipes, from which movie lists would be created and updated on a given interval.
The app consists of different filters to enable you to get the exact movies you are interested in, based on rating, rating type, rating providers, date, and soon genres.
Ratings are divided between user and critic, and rating providers consist of Rotten Tomatoes, Meta Critic, and IMDB.
Once you create your perfect recipe, you can then open the link to the JSON file which is formatted to follow the same schema as StevenLu lists have.
The recipes will be automatically updated every 6 hours.
This is all still very early days in development, but I would like you to give it a try and give me your feedback.
Happy testing
I’m not really familiar with Docker at all, though I did manage to set Sonarr up using the linuxserver image on my Synology a couple of years ago and it has been working fine ever since.
Now I see that V3 has been released so I guess I ought to bite the bullet and upgrade, but I am really not sure how to do it. The FAQ post mentions pulling and docker compose, but I’m at a loss how to do any of that with the Docker app in the synology and I really don’t want to bork my currently working setup when I barely remember how I did it in the first place.
If I double click the linuxserver\sonarr entry in the ‘Registry’ section of the docker app, it then prompts me for a tag (the default for which is latest, which I presume is V3 - the image I currently have is also tagged latest, which of course at the time I downloaded it was V2). If I click OK, does that then ‘pull’ the new image? Would that over-write my current one if so? Should I stop the Sonarr …
