Sabnzbd is free, you can install anywhere basically. The rest is not free unfortunately, someone has to host the files, as there are no peers in usenet. I think some, if not all, providers and indexers can be paid with crypto or even mailing them the money by post.
Provider is €50 a year. Indexers are around €10 a year, but there are lifetime subscriptions for some.
In return, you don’t need a VPN, download speeds are stable and there is no seeding.
Out of 220 files downloaded, I only needed torrents 12 times, rest is usenet.
Read up on benefits of one over the other before switching :)
I've been a good boy for 5 years or so but the seas call to me. Are streaming sites the way to go now or is torrenting still a better bet for mainstream movies and tv? I'd imagine all of my accounts have been deleted on those sites so I'd be starting over.
I've been interested in self-hosting for a while, but didn't really know where to start. I've never messed with Linux before and wanted to jump ship from Windows since Microsoft decided to start putting ads everywhere....
This is what I personally used to start this journey. Remember you don’t have to go all the way with Traefik and all if you don’t need to access things from outside home. If you do, do it with a VPN instead of a domain
Even if it has only 1% chance of working, I’m willing to spend 20 seconds putting my name and postcode on a website. I won’t die from typing 20 characters on a keyboard
The game now requires an always-online connection, even if you play offline. Just tried it myself by setting Steam to offline mode and you can never 'Ready Up' into a map. This was not the case before the Epic Games Store integration they did awhile ago....
I’ve tried installing it about a dozen times over the past year, but it always gives an “unable to get image” error. So I’m wondering if there’s an alternative that does everything paperless does…but lets me use it
Sure I’ll help you out best I can. First, I assume you’re on Linux and know docker a bit. I don’t know you so just trying to see what we’re working with here :)
Yeah, Ubuntu is fine, I run Ubuntu myself. From my experience, this is one of the painful containers to set up haha But okay let's roll with it. Personally, I did it with the "From GHCR/Docker Hub" option, and it took some tweaking. If you tried this option, where did you stop and what error did you get? Or do you want me to go step by step?
PS. For a more complete guide on homeserver, docker and stuff I recommend Smart Home Beginner. That's where I learned. You don't need his "Auto Traefik" stuff tho, so just ignore it
First see if you can ping the docker host to see if that’s reachable at all. Check what IP the ubuntu machine has and try and ping it from Win10. If we can do that we’ll troubleshoot further
Oh no problem. Glad I could… help? Haha If you still want to explore this, buying a cheap NUC from eBay could work. I bought one for £50 and it worked fine, as long as I didn’t have to transcode jellyfin lol
The use case is basically so that all my family members we can check that “John has an old laptop collecting dust” or “Mary has this specific tool that I’d love to use for my current project”....
I recognize this will vary depending on how much you self-host, so I’m curious about the range of experiences from the few self-hosted things to the many self-hosted things....
+1 for docker and minimal maintenance. Only updates or new containers might break stuff. If you don’t touch it, it will be fine. Of course there might be some container specific problems. Depends what you want to run. And I’m not a devops engineer like Max 😅
I rely on Bitwarden (slooowly migrating from… a spreadsheet…) and am thinking of keeping a master backup to be SyncThing-synchronized across all my devices, but I’m not sure of how to secure the SyncThing-synchronized files’ local access if any one of my Windows or Android units got stolen and somehow cracked into or...
Im not sure if that’s what you mean but I just export the Bitwarden database in an encrypted json and have it backed up in cloud. I’m not sure why you need the backup synced with all devices tho
Oh, that changes things. So, Bitwarden can be used basically anywhere, as you said. Just log in and there you are. It’s even a website. They’re servers would have to die for it to be a problem. But that’s not a real problem actually as the app keeps a local copy on the device and every time you open the app, it syncs with their servers and updates the vault (database). So the devices are synced by default really. If you want to back it up anyway, there is a „export vault” button which you can use. If you choose with encryption it’s going to be encrypted with the master password I think :)
PS Bitwarden (company) stores only the encrypted version on their servers so that’s not an issue either

So, I was about to delete the post, but I’m curious… why you think THIS is more believable? I’m not trying to be difficult, just trying to understand.
The whole article is based on what Seth Sorensen, Nebo School District Public Information Officer, said. Yes, theoretically he should be more believable than a group of children, as he’s… well, an adult and a person working there (or just related to the educational system). Do we just attribute honesty with their employment position? I’m probably missing something
Thanks for the explanation, I think your take is reasonable. I’ll delete the post, we’ll see if any of that evidence comes up, it’d be crazy if it did lol
