I tried that once. They never watched the show and didn’t give back the USB. 🙁

I did just order one to replace my MacBook, so I’m interested in hearing from others as well. The upgradability was a big plus for me beyond being able to have a mobile Linux machine for dev work.

Yeah, lack of XWayland support has been an issue for me. Versioning the config API is something I’ve been considering, or at least ensuring backwards compatibility.

I’d be interested in other ideas or pain points you’ve experienced. Not to suggest I’ll ever have something production-grade, but my hope is to get to a point that I have a working daily driver and potentially share it with others.

There’s also Strata, Niri, and to some extent Cosmic. My problem has been that they tend to be very opinionated and limited in the customization of the layouts. Having used XMonad for a long time, I may be a bit spoiled in that regard…

I do think there’s a middle ground for configuration without requiring programming skills, which can be off-putting for many users. After all, most layouts are just a combination of rows and columns. 😛

I actually started working on one a few weeks ago. It’s amazing how easy it was to get the basics working. Still a long way to go, but it’s a fun project in the meantime and hopefully can result in something that supports my desired flow.

I’m not sure what’s worse. The engineer that thought this would work or the company that doesn’t do code reviews.

Sounds like someone has Perl Traumatic Stress Disorder. 😉

It’s based on WireGaurd with some added benefits. Free for up to 3 users. I’ve had no issues with it and even use it for corporate networks. An alternative is ZeroTier, while I haven’t used it I hear a lot of people recommend it too.

Somehow god is all-knowing, but forgot to consider the loopholes.

Sorry about that, there were some upload restrictions. See the HQ link for the full resolution.

I get what they’re saying and it may be ‘technically correct’, but the issue is more nuanced than that. In my experience, some trackers have strict requirements or restricted auth tokens (e.g. can’t browse & download from different IPs). Proxying may be the solution, but I’d have to look at how it decides what traffic gets routed where.

Honestly, I can’t really tell the difference between Jellyseer and Reiverr. It may be that I don’t use them enough, but it really seems like they provide the same information in slightly different ways.

There’s some overlap with my torrrents.py and qbitmanage, but some of its other features sound nice. It also led me to Apprise which might be the notifications solution I’ve been looking for!

Some of the arr-scripts already handle syncing the settings. I had to turn them off because it kept overwriting mine, but Recyclarr might be more configurable.

Thanks!

While it’s not definitive, this was the easiest list I could find: https://www.farandwide.com/s/cities-michelin-stars-397433fb73604a91

SF and NYC are also in the top 20.

The problem I’ve found is that the services will query indexers and that not all of the trackers allow you to use multiple IPs. This is where I found it easier to make all outbound requests go through the VPN so I didn’t get in trouble. It’s also why I have the Firefox container set up inside the network with it exposed over the local network as a VNC session. So I can browse the sites while maintaining a single IP.

I do have qbittorrent set up with a kill switch on the VPN interface managed by Gluetun.

I started with Jellyseer and later learned about Reiverr. Haven’t settled on which one I like more yet. They both provide basically the same information but in different ways.

The server itself is running nothing but the hypervisor. I have a few VMs running on it that makes it easy provision isolated environments. Additionally, it’s made it easy to snapshot a VM before performing maintenance in case I need to roll back. The containers provide isolation from the environment itself in the event of a service gone awry.

Coming from cloud environments where everything is a VM, I’m not sure what issues you’re referring to. The performance penalty is almost non-existent while the benefits are plenty.

The wiki is a great place to start. Also, most of the services have pretty good documentation.

The biggest tip would be to start with Docker. I had originally started running the services directly in the VM, but quickly ran into problems with state getting corrupted somewhere. After enough headaches I switched to Docker. I then had to spend a lot of time remapping all of the files to get it working again. Knowing where the state lives on your filesystem and that the service will always restart from a known point is great. It also makes upgrades or swapping components a breeze.

Everyone has to start somewhere. Just take it slow and do be afraid to make mistakes. Good luck and have fun! 😀

If you have the time and resources, I highly recommend it. Once it’s all running it becomes mostly a ‘set it and forget it’ situation. You don’t have to remember to scroll through pages of search results to find content. It’ll automatically grab them for you based on your configured quality profile (or upgrade it to better quality). Additionally, you can easily stream it to any devices in our home network (or remote with a VPN).

You don’t have to do it all at once. Start with a single service you’re interested in and slowly add more over time.
