Sonarr (and the other 'arrs) is just a management tool. From the servarr wiki:

Sonarr is a PVR for Usenet and BitTorrent users. It can monitor multiple RSS feeds for new episodes of your favorite shows and will grab, sort and rename them. It can also be configured to automatically upgrade the quality of files already downloaded when a better quality format becomes available.

At a high level, you tell it where your current tv show episodes are saved, and add new shows as you want. It then automates the process of searching and downloading. But you still need to have an indexer and download client. If you're not able to find shows searching your current tracker/indexer, Sonarr won't have any better luck.

Finding a good source of the media you want is the most important part. If you're not comfortable with installing and managing your own server applications, the *arr stack could be overwhelming at first. The wiki I linked has a lot of good information to get you started.

Unfortunately, that's not an option. I'm going to continue using the same email address, and I don't want to continue spending the $30ish a month for services and storage I'm no longer using.

Sadly, phone/tablet only at this point. I may give it a go anyway, but I'm not expecting much bc it's meant for touch, not keyboard/remotes

This is the first I've heard of this remaster. Absolutely adore this game. And I appreciated the work Nightdive put into the new System Shock.

But seeing the screenshots for Dark Forces... it very much looks like a half-ass job using computer-assisted upscaling (possibly some sort of generative AI, too). I've played the original using DarkXL/The Force Engine, and I feel like Nightdive is just reproducing this (albeit with "new" cutscene artwork).

I would love to be pleasantly surprised.

Twenty years later, I still sing this.

And I still wonder what happened to fhqwhgads.

Worked for me, too. Thanks friendly stranger :)

The new mantle I've been working on is finally ready to install! So, we'll be mounting it this weekend, along with the TV (yes, "tv too high" but we don't have an option). So excited to finally have this done!

Seconding this. Frigate is great, and I've been running it on an ancient Debian box with a coral tpu for a few years. The only dedicated camera I've had has been at the front door, but cams I've used for testing and "goofing off" have been great at motion detection and object recognition.

Maaan I got so excited by this and grabbed Connect. It was great until I saw it completely blocking comments in threads by users from those instances. :(

I'm considering just making a script to get a list of communities from an instance and submit them to my block list automatically. Heavily rate limited, of course.

I think my big irritation is that it's super distracting to keep hitting block on the seemingly infinite supply of communities on lemmynsfw ;D

But it's also annoying that none of the apps (lemmy pwa included) actively clear the feed of your newly blocked user/community.

I enjoy scrolling All to find new and interesting things, and that's how I built my sub list on the oldsite. It's just frustratingly difficult to filter signal from noise at the moment.

This is a pretty apt analogy, I think.

We've been using copilot at work, and it's really surprised me with some slick suggestions that "mostly work". But I don't think it could have written anything beyond the boilerplate my team has done.

(I also spend way too much time watching Copilot and Intellisense fight, and it pisses me off to no end.)

Yeah, they're a skip to endgame content. But they're not any kind of "instant win."

The couple types of pvp aren't tied to your character level, and the most difficult raid content is best run with a group that you practice with. If you've never played, simply grabbing the game and one of those packages isn't going to give you an immediate edge.

XIV is sort of a single player game with a bunch of coop boss fights.

And, not to be cliche, but you can play through the entire first two arcs (A Realm Reborn and Heavensward) completely free, with no real limitations. The only things locked out of the free tier are the more social aspects, and any content above level 60. A handful of jobs are locked, but there is a ridiculous amount of content available for free.

I've played a few other mmos and hated them all. XIV is something weirdly different. And the overwhelming majority of the community is chill and friendly.

This is actually a great theory. I've fixed several monitors and TVs that were just bad capacitors. It's a logical conclusion with these, too.

I have my old Athlon fx lying around. Needs a case, psu, and the nic... Hmmmm

Yeah, those little micro units are what I had seen recommended. $300-400 is definitely pushing it for me. Especially when I would also want a bigger switch to accompany it.

Guess I need to stop eating avocado toast.

Edit: how is the stability/uptime for those little machines? Historically, I've always had problems with my routers needing to be rebooted at least once a month after they've been in service for 18-24 months. Even my current "business class" cisco router is crapping out on me every month.

I'm already using my own modem, none of that locked-down rental nonsense from my isp.

What hardware do you use for pf/opnSense? All of the recommended stuff I've seen is almost prohibitively expensive for my home networking budget.

I feel like it's just me, but all of my devices with Open/DDWRT crap out after a couple years. Even well-reviewed prosumer-grade gear ends up becoming wildly unreliable in an unacceptably short amount of time. I had to double-check, and my order history puts me at a new router every 2-3 years. This "business class" RV260 will be hitting 2 years in the fall, and I'm already experiencing wonky behavior where it needs to be rebooted regularly. Maybe it's just an unspoken truth that anything below true "enterprise tier" kit requires a weekly reboot. I should just put it on an outlet to cycle the power every Sunday at 2am or something....

That said, I do love DDWRT!

100%. I have some function nodes to do things in JS, especially for date checking. And I think you can even get it to call shell scripts? I'm sure there's an add-on that would do it.

Agreed that it really is a pleasant experience.

I'm intending to upgrade to a pfSense router and some other switch in the future. This is just supposed to be a temporary-ish investigation into the potential fuckery coming from my ISP.
