Ah, that’s a shame. Good luck :)

To be honest, I’m not sure if there’s a way to auto delete, I’ve only ever done it manually. I think Plex can be set up for it, but I’m not sure.

As I understand it, which I’m not sure I do, the -arrs will automatically grab torrents. In my mind, this would eat up a TB pretty quickly.

You seem to be partly misunderstanding. They only grab what you tell them to, so they won’t automatically fill your disks with random videos.

What they do is grab any movies or TV series that you specify, and give you the option to upgrade them to a file size and quality limit that you set. For example, you could tell them that movies can be a maximum of 10GB per file, and TV can be a maximum of 3GB, and that you’d prefer 4k.

There are profile options that let you grab any available copy of a video, and upgrade it as better versions come along.

Have you turned on debug logs? I haven’t used Whisparr, but on the other *arrs, debug logging gives more information about how they searched, and if something was found but rejected.

Don’t trust hacked software to protect you from hacked software.

I don’t remember the steps, but there used to be a way to do it through Calibre. You could download your library into the Kindle desktop program, run a DRM removal tool, and have them available through Calibre.

You might have had to remove the DRM through Calibre, I’m not sure. Hopefully this gives you somewhere to start though :)

Some services will take gift cards. You find out the amount you need to pay, and convert it to your currency, buy a gift card in cash for the amount, then send the code from the gift card to the service.

You have to trust that they won’t just run off with the funds, but the whole point is to pick a service that you trust in the first place.

On a post talking about modifying the body, you say you want a magic ring? Do I dare open the link? :o

On the bright side, you’ve just reminded me that I haven’t watched the Christmas special yet :)

I’ve noticed that a lot of the reasons to upgrade now are artificial. My wife dug out an old PC to use two monitors recently, but still does the same tasks that she was doing a decade ago. The computer is ridiculously slow though because of ‘updates’.

Bog standard things like checking her emails and opening Word slow the computer for nothing. Even bare Windows runs slowly because of the graphics enhancements.

Buying a handful of spare chargers is much cheaper than buying a new phone.

I’ll give it a try, thanks :)

The Steam Deck works so well because the screen is only 720p, and even then people have complained about low framerates on some games. Scaling it up to 4k for a modern TV would drop the performance even more.

It looks like a great handheld, but I think trying to use it as a console wouldn’t work.

The Steak Link app doesn’t recognise controllers reliably on Android. I’ve got a few controllers that work in other games, are recognised as being connected in Steam Link, but just don’t work. Connecting them with a cable lets them work straight away.

If you’re running the Folding@Home project through it, it might be worth looking at the Banano project. It runs the F@H program in the same way, but using credentials that they give you, and you get Banano as a reward.

On the one hand it’s a cryptocurrency, so take it with a pinch of salt, but on the other hand you get it for doing what you’re already doing.

Fantastic, thank you :)

Sorry, off topic, but do you have a link to the photo deduplication conversation please? I need to get mine sorted :)

If you’re looking to start with Usenet, DrunkenSlug currently has open registrations. I don’t know much about it yet, but it’s got a very good reputation 👍

Do it. Doooo iiiit…

The fact that it might stop some immigration is a small bonus to the tories. Their goal for a while now has been to strip our rights so they can grab more power and money.

The sad part is, all the brain dead little bigots will be cheering them on, and not even noticing that they’re losing out.
