Ah, fair point. I don’t use torrents, my media comes from usenet, so that doesn’t need to factor into my thinking.
My (overly?) Complex setup does allow me to resort to torrents as a last resort, but that happens on another machine outside my home network and gets synchronised into my home via a one-way syncthing share, so even on the rare occasion I have to resort to torrents I can leave it on that server seeding for a few weeks or months.
I’ve just recently started using tdarr to convert all of my media to x265on 14/02 and so far I’ve saved 4.02 TB of what was 28.12TB media collection. (The number isn’t a true reflection though because new episodes and shows have been added to that library since I started)
I’m letting tdarr manage the conversion process and once up and running meant that my NAS, desktop, my NUC and a mini pc are all plodding through and converting when I’m not using them for other things.
If you are worried about the disk space being taken and have some CPU time you can devote to the conversion process then I’d suggest it’s worth looking into tdarr.
I don’t have easy access to my torrent client at the moment, how much disk space are we talking about here? Tens of GB, hundreds, multiple TB?
Edit: ooft, that’s a hefty chunk of space indeed, the first one I looked at was 400gb, the second was >4tb. Sadly I can’t contribute that kind of space on my torrent box.
Interesting, I’ll try again from my desktop when I get back home again. I guess it’s possible that it’s my phone that’s the problem.
Ah, I see, then my apologies for making assumptions. If you’re a Usenet person then things like drunken slug or Ninja central assist to have a bunch of adult content on them.
For torrents, you’ll hopefully be able to find content on various generalist torrent trackers or a few specialist ones that primarily deal with that kind of content.
I get the impression that you’re new to the whole *arr set of applications.
Your indexer is the torrent site (or Usenet indexer) you’re asking whisparr to search through for your torrents/NZBs.
Take a look here for some pretty good documentation on how it all works: https://wiki.servarr.com/whisparr/quick-start-guide#indexers
I’m not so sure about that, as I’m getting an error whenever I try to hook jacket up to the account I just created.
I’ll post an issue to the jacket issue log when I get home though after trying again I case there’s a delay in creating an account and the passkey becoming usable.
I think it’s a relatively recent thing. As the documentation for each of the *arts has a relatively recent minimum version number I think.
Here’s where I went when looking for whisparr, but just replace that with the arr you’re wanting to use and it’ll give you decent steps for getting your database created and migrated into it: https://wiki.servarr.com/whisparr/postgres-setup
I’m in this camp as well. I’ve had one motion sensor of theirs since June that supplemented an IKEA one to catch movement at a different part of my hallway and had no real problems with it. I ordered another couple recently as well and put one in my kitchen and another in my office.
I might have been seeing odd behaviour on my office one but I’ve not had time to investigate it though and I was more inclined to believe it was bad positioning than a faulty sensor.
I did notice though that if I enter the room just as the lights are turning off then the lights don’t turn back on but I just go straight to the light switch and do a quick turn off and back on again job to fix it.
I’ve not tried this myself, but how about mounting the volume using sshfs?

This is of course assuming that you’ve got ssh access to the VPS.
I’m currently mounting volumes using cifs and NFS, but I don’t think I’d be too keen on exposing those to the internet at large.
An alternative to torrenting though is Usenet. It takes a bit of setting up but there are some nice advantages. No worrying about needing to seed back and you’re not going to need to worry about a VPN or your ISP forwarding on threatening letters. Sure it costs money, but I think I pay about £45 per year and I don’t regret that one little bit.
Just took a look at my profile, registered on 27 June 2006. So it’s in my 15-20 year window that I mentioned
Now that’s not something I’d have expected. I’ve never encountered anything like that in the nearly 15-20 years I’ve been using TL.
I’ve been quite happy with my Tradfri Ikea bulks. Got some spread throughout the house. I did have one RGB bulk I got from AliExpress, but although it could do a whole range of colours it just didn’t have the brightness I was looking for. I haven’t tried the Phillips Hue ones though, so they might be better. I just happened to be in Ikea and spotted them, so went for it purely because of the fact I was needing some and walked past them. Had I walked past some Hue ones instead I’d probably have considered going for them instead.
One method that many people use to hide their IP address of their host is to use Cloudflare for DNS, that way you don’t directly expose your IP address to the wider internet. A nice bonus to Clouldflare is that it’s free too! Just get yourself a domain, get Cloudflare set up to provide DNS for it and you’re golden.
Thanks for confirming before I could bruise back to Lemmy world, find this post and confirm for myself.
I’ve just gotten my own instance of Lemmy running here and think I’m getting the hang of how to subscribe and link up to other instances. This is also a teaser to see if my first comment actually works!
I’m going to choose not to answer that for two reasons…
But yes I’m in a position where I was more willing to pay for the power than I was to buy additional storage space as I’m hitting the top of what I can do without significant expense.
