Yeah seriously with all the deals going around there's really no excuse for paying more than about $10/mo on an unlimited subscription.

I got caught in astraweb's billing fix (9 years maybe?) and went with these guys. They have sent me the details of the VPN in 24 hours, it is through Ghost path. The retention is great and the speeds did saturate the 200mbits of the VPS

So once you get VPN access with them can I use that for any of my stuff that could use VPN to hide my activity a little?

Newsgroup direct is highwinds though and I already have them for backup block plans so I went with UsenetExpress which is its own. The yearly plan ends up being $7.50 a month.

It will basically not affect speeds and it should prevent your ISP from seeing what you're downloading. Most if not all decent Usenet providers have this as an option.

With SSL, your ISP knows who you're communicating with. With a VPN your ISP only knows you're communicating with your VPN provider. So, a VPN does offer more privacy, but whether thats worth it to you, only you can decide.

SickBeard is pretty much dead by now. SickRage is still in maintenance mode, but outside of that development has nearly halted, and underlying core issues will likely never be addressed. Finally started migrating over Sonarr about a month ago after growing tired of having to manually go through the increasing amount of weekly misses that also weren't caught by the backlog processing in SR. This is something I've been avoiding for a long time while waiting for Sonarr's feature set to catch up with my requirements, but more importantly because of the tedium of getting everything set up again on the other side after after years of operation. The flexible monitoring system makes it a lot easier than what I feared, thankfully, but I've still got both softwares running side by side for now. Really enjoy the tagging system that you can use to set per-tag keyword restrictions, it's a lot smoother managing that than manually adding keywords per entry in SickRage. The matching algorithms seem much better and haven't missed anything so far. General processing is a lot more CPU-efficient as one could expect. I'm hoping that in the future we'll see preferred but non-required (and weighted) keywords as in CouchPotato. Custom qualities (not profiles) is something I'd really like. On the calendar page I'm missing the posters from SickRage's schedule view a little bit, but in the grand scheme of things that's really unimportant. Mostly going to be accessing the service through NZB360 anyway once things settle down.

RoboBoogie posted:i need some automation in my process Here's my setup: Folder Structure: code:2 bash scripts: upload-m.cron and upload-tv.cron monitor the tv-r/m-r directories for any files that magically appear, and the start the rclone upload process. They're set on a 1 minute cron job, and have logic to not spawn multiple uploads. I've also got some mount monitoring scripts if you want to see those, but they're just there to ensure that if the GDrive/Fuse mounts fail they can be reconnected so I don't have to manually do that: mount-GDrive.cron GDrive Mount Check mount-plexdrive.cron Plexdrive Mount Check fuse-mount-m.cron fuse-m Mount Check fuse-mount-tv.cron fuse-tv Mount Check del-empty-folders.cron Finally, an empty local folder deletion script to keep things clean. To get this up and running, create the folder structure, create the scripts, and put the mountcheck files in the directories in the above scripts. Then set a cron tab for all of the .cron scripts running every minute. If you've got rclone/plexdrive set up already you'll have to modify file paths, but it still should work. I do suggest plexdrive instead of using the normal rclone mount for Plex, as it has a bunch of stuff configured specifically for fetching and streaming files from GDrive to Plex. I want to convert the upload-tv/m.cron scripts to be python post-scripts to sickbeard_mp4_automator, so that everything is being constantly monitored by the tools and I don't have to rely on some random-rear end bash scripts, but this works for now (and is girlfriend compatible) so I haven't yet.

It's not really all that complicated, as far as most of my stuff goes. I'm sure I could have made it exponentially more complicated. As far as I'm aware, because I'm paying for a Google apps account, they don't really care how big it gets. I could have done a layer of encryption on top of fuse, but didn't really see a reason to. I haven't heard a peep out of Google, and this system has been up and running for almost 3 years now.

I know their site states that its only unlimited if you have 5+ users, 4 and under is 1tb per user. Have you not reached the 1tb limit yet or are you paying google $50+ a month? Or are they just not enforcing the 1tb per user limit?

Yeah they lie. They don't enforce the 1tb a user limit, its just there to scare you away as far as I can tell. I've got 2 users (personal photo/docs backup and Plex Stuff) and no limit. My Plex account is currently at 9.6TB

And if they do, then I'm just out video files, and so what? It'll have been good while it lasted, and I'll switch to a YouTubeTV or something better then. He asked about automation, and I showed how I currently have mine setup. It works fairly well, and I'm able to watch my TV shows and Movies without any problems with little to no intervention that I have to do on the backend. If Google or someone else shuts me down, then I'm out very little.

Thermopyle posted:Has anyone read anything recent about Sonarr doing anything to make it so it can prefer and upgrade to releases with 5.1 audio? Aren't very few releases actually tagged with that as a textual keyword Sonarr could look for? It'd pretty much have to download (at least parts of) every release and probe them, unless indexers decided to start exposing mediainfo results via their APIs. For the releases that have tags you can match, this should be very doable when preferred keywords becomes a feature. https://github.com/Sonarr/Sonarr/issues/385

Speaking of Sonarr, is the right way to do a global 'do not download with this keyword' to add each keyword individually to the Settings > Indexer thing at the bottom with no tag, and individually? Cruddy reencode groups keep uploading things that my system is preferring to the real deal for some reason, and I want to make sure they're never grabbed.

Yeah, I knew preferred words was going to be the way to do it, I was more asking about if anyone has read anything about when that feature was coming. It's been on the roadmap for literal years at this point.

You don't need a separate entry for each unwanted keyword if that's what you're asking. The keywords are evaluated with an 'OR' operation, not 'AND', so you can stack all unwanted trash into a single, untagged entry that applies to everything.

Weird, I thought I messed up because I did that and one came through (I added ‘mkvcage’ and ‘h265’ to a single entry as separate tags as those should cover the mistakes). I’ll look deeper into it, thanks.

Or in sunny, sandy Israel, they'd rather have the subs burnt in because they watch the videos on smart devices or whatever, and don't feel like dealing with whatever weird sub-aware iPad video player people use for anime? That said, they were like #1 or #2 on my ban list, them and NLsubs.
