It’s also free in the Bitwarden app if you self-host with Vaultwarden. It’s only a paid feature if you’re using their hosting, and seemingly only so they can dangle it as a “premium” benefit.

Manjaro is a potential time bomb, delayed repos and AUR don’t always interact well. EndeavourOS is the better Arch fork, especially for beginners that need a smooth introduction.

A mini PC with a USB IR receiver and whatever old remote you have to spare. It takes a bit of setup to map the remote with something like LIRC, but it works great once that’s done.

It reduces your available peers. You can’t connect to other people with closed ports, one side needs to be open.

It isn’t a huge deal with popular torrents, but it can cause problems with unpopular/old stuff.

I’ve seen SSDs hit 100TB, but those are $40k+. And more “reasonable” options like 64TB for $10k or so.

HDDs just reached 30TB, but I don’t think those are widely available yet. 24TB is the biggest you can expect to see for sale.

Usenet is a lot faster than torrents, you don’t need a VPN, and it’s more reliable than anything but great private trackers.

You can get a USB IR receiver and use software like LIRC to map the inputs of basically any remote you have. Setting it up takes a little effort, but it works great when it’s done.

grml-zsh-config is its name, and it’s always one of the first things I install on a fresh system. I’ll never understand why it isn’t the default.

I would sell a few of them to shore up the budget, then use those funds to build a NAS box. You can buy everything other than drives for a few hundred, less if you have spare parts sitting around.

This is the fucking dream. Lidarr is serviceable to get a library going, but we could do so much better.

Lidarr is the corresponding program for music, setup is almost identical to what you’re already running. And if you use Prowlarr to manage your indexers, it also works with Lidarr.

If you go to your torrent client and disable the missing file, it should get reported as “complete” to the *arrs. Manual and annoying, but it works.

Unwashed eggs are shelf stable, they last for a few weeks at room temp. Washed eggs, like you’d get at an American grocery store, absolutely need to be refrigerated.

And knowing how hawkish their lawyers are, they’ve probably had their eyes on Palworld since it was announced anyway. If there was anything actionable, they would have jumped on it already.

Exactly. Doesn’t matter if they’re wired or wifi, or where they are, as long as they’re on the same network you’re fine.

If you’re only trying to use Jellyfin at home, you don’t need any reverse proxy or domain. All you need is for both devices to be on the same network, and for the Raspberry Pi to have a fixed internal IP address (through your router settings).

On the Shield, you just give the Jellyfin app that IP address and port number (10.0.0.X:8096) to connect and you’re good to go.

You don’t even need to purchase a domain, free dynDNS services (DuckDNS or similar) are good enough for Jellyfin and the like.

For a NAS, you’re usually concerned with capacity first. And you can’t buy a 20TB m2.

A Zero would probably be way underpowered for the job. I’ve used a Pi 4 in the past and it worked ok, but choked occasionally.

My actual recommendation would be a small x86 box, something like a Lenovo Thinkcentre Tiny. You can get them used for about the price of a Pi, and they’ll be much more reliable.

They’re referencing the TRaSH Guides, a great resource for setup and basic tuning of an *arr stack. It’s where a lot of people get started.
