Read this as “Cmon do a racist tyranny” at first. Like, damn thats pretty mask off, and hello welcome to the last decade…

But yeah, “resist” works too.

YOU HAVENT LIVED UNTIL YOU’VE HEARD THE EPIC SOUND OF HOGS AT FULL CRANK ECHOING OFF THE TILED WALLS OF A PUBLIC RESTROOM! ARRROOOO!

I get those very frequently the day before a popular show airs.

I wish there was a setting in sonarr to only grab released episodes (like radarr has) bit it seems like blocking extensions is the way to go.

WHATS THAT BROTHA, I CANT HEAR YOU OVER ALL THESE HOGS BEING CRANKED!

Good call! Wife and I watched that one on a whim, thinking it would be a good “bad” movie to watch while having a few drinks and were pleasantly surprised!

You probably need be at least familiar with RPG/fantasy tropes to fully enjoy it, but it definitely felt like it came from a place of love and self-awareness, rather than the cynical cash-grab I was expecting.

Not sure, how old I was, probably 10-12. This one isn’t so much classic nightmare, but left me extremely unsettled for weeks and still gives me the heebie jeebies when I think about it.

In my dream I was at an event for returning space shuttle astronauts who had just landed. Apparently there was some major problem during reentry, and most of the crew didn’t make it, but one had barely survived. When they brought out the surviving astronaut for an interview or whatever, the dude was literally just a naked human nervous system in a NASA spacesuit. Where his head would have been was the classic anatomy textbook image of just the brain with eyes floating in front of it, supported by a spinal cord. No bones, no muscle, unable to talk or anything. I remember the head was gently bobbing from side to side a few inches, and every so often the “head” would just rapidly spin around a few revolutions, then stop and continue bobbing eerily.

This is pretty much exactly what the dude looked like in my dream https://img-new.cgtrader.com/items/2443319/bd71a87570/large/nervous-system-and-dura-matter-3d-model-low-poly-fbx-gltf.jpg

Thanks, that would explain it. Not sure how I missed that!

I just searched it a bit, and I think you’re right. I was thinking the paid tier only let you use port forwarding and access their servers optimized for P2P traffic, but it sounds like they actually block P2P traffic on the free tier.

My bad!

Technically you can torrent with it, but the free tier does not include port forwarding, so you will not be able to seed very effectively.

Edit: disregard, I was remembering incorrectly.

I don’t want to be an alarmist

But in that harmacy there’s a harmacist!

Have you looked into Remote Path mappings? I have not had to employ this myself, but my understanding is this allows you to avoid file duplication when your *arr and torrent client are using different filesystems.

Maybe I’m mis-remembering though…

Maybe a dumb question, but have you enabled port forwarding in your torrent client and ensured that the VPN server you are connected to allows port forwarding? Proton has decent documentation on how to do this, but it’s not obvious if you didnt already know you needed port forwarding.

This had me tripped up for nearly a full year after I got back into torrenting.

Beginner here (to Linux and networking anyways), running Unraid for about 18 months now. Fully agree, it’s been great for actually getting up and doing useful things quickly and relatively pain free.

Eventually I would like to try working backwards and getting things running on a more “traditional” server environment, but Unraid has been a great learning tool for me personally.

It’s like… Maybe some folks learned to overhaul an engine before they got their driver’s license, but lots of people just need to a car to get to work and back today, and they can learn to change their oil and do a brake job when the time comes.

Proton VPN absolutely does support port forwarding, just not on the free tier.

ONLY ONE QUESTION BROTHA:

ALIENS FUCKING SPACESHIPS OR SPACESHIPS FUCKING ALIENS???

NO JUDGEMENT EITHER WAY, JUST CURIOUS ABOUT THE HOG-CRANKING PREFERENCES OF A FELLOW DAY DRINKING DEGENERATE!

I love the theme too, but South Park ruined it for me. I can’t listen to it anymore without hearing “Wiener, weiner-weiner…” in the back of my mind :(

That is a hell of a read.

I have a pair of “WTF” coffee mugs I got from them probably 15 years ago, and still use regularly. Amazingly, for being free promo items, they are still in virtually perfect condition!

EDIT: it’s this bad boy right here: https://thedailywtf.com/articles/announcement-get-the-mug

No you’re right, the hardlinks themselves are not directional. I just misunderstood the advice as meaning that Radarr would create a hardlinked file in my torrent folder, using the existing file in my media library. (It will not)

The part that was tripping me up was that it seemed like I had to manually add the movies to Radarr’s library before it would let me import any of my torrent files. Otherwise it would give me an error saying the movie was unknown.

I think I’m starting to get the hang of it though.

Thanks, that makes sense.

I’ve been going cross-eyed staring at the Trash guides and Servarr wiki trying to get hardlinks and all the file paths working correctly (stupid simple fix in the end), so a little nudge in the right direction is appreciated.
