Roosterteeth removed most episodes from Youtube some months ago and the videos on their website have so much ads that they ruin everything. I have tried looking for it, but most pirate sites that I know of either don’t have it at all, don’t work, or don’t have captions.
I don’t really have a tutorial suggestion but this is a great resource if you haven’t seen it yet: wiki.servarr.com
I would also recommend using dockge to help create and manage your stacks.
When you’re setting up the services, go through each section and take note of what you don’t understand. The services tie into each other so it may be beneficial to set up your stack first (docker compose YAML text file, managed by dockge) and configure stuff together.
Apologies if this isn't the right community to ask in, I figured folks who use them would know, but if there is a better place to ask, please let me know!...
There’s no hard limit or standard, but I think 14 TB might be the largest you could find in a consumer HDD. The WD EasyStore goes on sale pretty often and sells for a good deal. Those should be quiet and already come in an external case. Look for reviews about it before buying.
The sound is determined by what kind of drive it is. Consumer drives are for in-home use and are usually quiet. Enterprise drives are for dedicated server rooms or data centers and can get loud because it’s loud in there already.
I would recommend sticking with consumer level HDDs if this is a concern. The cost per TB isn’t as good.
I bought a 14 TB Seagate Exos and put it in a Fractal R5, which is a very good noise insulating case. I can hear clicking from anywhere on the same floor as that machine if I listen for it.
You could maybe pair two consumer drives together in JBOD to get the space you want, but that’s more expensive.

Does your VPN provider allow port forwarding? That’s probably the answer to this. Forward a port through the VPN provider and set the qBit listening port to the same.
The seeders and leechers number is pulled from trackers (I think?) but doesn’t accurately represent the numbers available to you unless you have port forwarding set up properly.
Edit: just my 2 cents if your provider doesn’t offer port forwarding, I use AirVPN and it’s excellent. Great speeds and it offers everything I need. My only complaint is that the website is confusing.

I need to buy one for an old TV i have. I have plex at home and i use also Stremio + real Debrid. If the device offers a controller it would be nice. Thanks!
If your internet isn’t great then it won’t be much better for you vs torrents.
I get 1 gbps and my usenet host can fully saturate my download speeds.
My usenet host retention is currently over 5000 days. Most downloads that fail are because of DMCA takedowns. In those cases, 99% of the time, Sonarr or Radarr will find another one still under the same provider. It’s only when all of those fail that it’ll turn to torrents.
I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve had to use torrents in the past three years.
I’m in the US but this should still apply to the UK
Is usenet and debrid safe to use without a VPN in the UK?
Yes, as long as your provider offers SSL encryption. If you’re using SSL encryption, the ISP can see what servers you’re connected to but not what data is being transferred and that should be enough protection. If there isn’t an option for SSL, you might want to use a VPN.
From what I understand it’s cheaper to use a VPN than have debrid + usenet + private indexers but I am not sure.
It is cheaper, but availability and speed are what you’re paying for if you sign up for a usenet provider.
I’ve been using both usenet and torrents for the past few years and never gotten a complaint. Usenet is my main source of everything. Only my torrent client itself is behind a VPN. All the arrs are unsecured and SABnzbd uses the SSL port for my usenet provider.
We got my husband some Helly Hansen boots the year before last and we noticed a hole in them last year. I am right pissed. If I’m dropping hundreds of dollars on boots, I expect to get my money’s worth. What are your awesome boot suggestions to help me do just that?
It might be worthwhile to check out some boots marketed toward military personnel. There’s LOTS of opinions out there about military boots because tons of us wear them.
I know Danner makes very nice boots. I wore the Reckoning cold weather version and loved them so much. They’re lined with goretex to keep the wet and the cold out as best as possible.
I wore them nonstop for about 2 years. Every regular day of work, weeks or months in the field, even climbing Mount Fuji. Those things lasted a long time until I replaced them with…
the Danner Jungles, which are very much the opposite of cold weather boots. They’re made for hot and wet climates. I love these even more but that’s probably because they’re designed specifically for this type of area.
A used one in your area, so long as it’s newer (2021+)
I would recommend using Linux on it instead of ChromeOS, if you’re a little more technically inclined. ChromeOS is fine but it limits you to just the Google ecosystem whereas Linux allows you to do things with it like a normal computer.
I took an old (2017?) model and put a super lightweight Linux distro on it and use it as a little administrator device. It’s got good battery and acceptable processor speed, but it’s severely limited by CPU cooling and storage.
Is HEVC (8-bit)/AAC a good, modern CODEC combination for rebuilding & reducing my library size without compromising quality? Helpful feedback would be appreciated.
I did it just by myself. I just kept critiquing myself after a negative interaction and trying to figure out why I got angry or frustrated. I still give in to that anger once in a while but I’ve gotten better.
I learned it’s easier for me to forgive when I’ve had proper sleep, actually. I also look at it from the other person’s side and think of what problems that person is going through and excuse them for whatever is frustrating me.
It’s easy to think of it like a shitty driver and getting angry at them. Why are they speeding? Could be a bathroom emergency. Could be meeting a loved one at the hospital. I don’t know, so I’m not gonna judge.
