  • The arr stack is kinda tricky to get started and understand how it all works together, but as soon as it clicks, it’s awesome !!

    Can’t exactly say what, but I kinda got lost and what helped me out was to slowly work one arr service at a time and understand what they actually do. (First only Sonarr after awhile I added prowlarr, then radarr and now slowly testing Seer !)

    Trash guide was also helpful specially for custom formats. Just take your time and don’t try to much to make your own custom formats… Have seen alot a of people on private trackers blow up their ratio without noticing it.

    Best advice I can give you is to just play arround with sonarr or radarr alone and try things out and see what they do ^^ Or try to read and understand the official documentation but you will have a better grasp while doing things :)

    Edit: Ohh and forget about asking chatGPT… It will mostly output outdated information an cause you more trouble and leave you even more confused !

    Nobody mentioned this but route only the necessary traffic to your router (all your self-hosted services) with wireguard’s split tunneling (just set the apropriate allowed_ip networks in your wg config).

    You could set it to 0.0.0.0/0 and send all her traffic through your router but this could potientially choke your own network and make her own speed slow down.




  • limited content compared to Netflix

    Not sure if this is actually a key difference. You can have as many content as you want on your service, if you have the needed space ! But the point is, when self-hosting your ARR stack, it’s more about QUALITY vs QUANTITY…

    How many times have I seen people looking for something to watch and bing scrolling Netflixe’s front end.

    For the rest you’re on point !!



  • What do youngstar use nowadays if it isn’t PDF? EPUB?

    I always wondered, why someone would prefere to read an EPUP instead of a PDF ! Specially Student books, cook books or any other book with images or representations.

    Yeah EPUB’s are good for long text stories without any image, but everything else should be in pdf.










  • I used to self-host searxng for a while, but somehow the search results were always off and mixed with to much non-relevant results :/.

    It’s not about searxng itself… Rather how the most relevant info gets drown into AI slope and non-sense bullshit. The best blogposts/info are transmitted from people to people…

    I’m kinda sad to admit that stupid AI “solved” this issue and had better results :/



  • Yeah, same here ! Can’t believe how useful it is to have a git repo to keep track of changes, even as a non coder/sysadmin.

    Simple pull/push commands and I’m now able to keep track of my bash scripts and specific .dot/config files.

    To bad there isn’t a way to keep side notes a la Obsidian. Comments in the code are okay, but sometimes I wan’t to breakup the whole command with some notes to get a better understanding !
