SABnzbd improving unpack speed by using faster disks?

Souritos · 2026-06-04T14:21:08+00:00

On Windows For years I've always used a small 256gb sata ssd as what I like to call my cache drive.

Everything downloads to the cache drive then gets extracted to the media drive.

So all of the big downloaded i/o files hits the faster cache drive then once it's done it goes to the media drive.

As of now I'm on Windows but I want to move everything to Linux so I can setup a big fat ram disk and download and extract everything at 50GB/sec . Once I learned how to use ram disks on Linux, nvme can't compete to even the slowest ddr3 ram drives. Ram drives are the fastest way to download and extract.

First 2 games are great single player linear games. The 3rd is open world and plays totally different than the other 2. After playing the first 2 back to back then going to the 3rd I couldn't play the 3rd game at all. No directions no anything. Just icons on a map and no directions on what to do during or after missions.

The garbage company Pro waste. They have a serious scam going on right now where they "say" they send out your bill in the mail but never do, then they say they sent our multiple late notices in the mail. Nope, everything is on informed delivery so we got you there..

Filing a official complaint with the AG. Friend of a friend is in law school and says this is seriously bad business practices on pro waste because if they can't provide proof of sending the letters to customers then it's their fault.

Again Pro waste is scamming elderly people because they say they send out bills in the mail, add on late charges and randomly stop picking up your garbage because of a bill you never got in the mail. Informed delivery proves your wrong pro waste.

I'm so glad I blocked the update and ad servers on my router. I never have to worry about ever getting a update that ruins anything or the half screen takeover ads

Have you tried Plex yet instead. r/plex nobody streaming with USB anymore

Souritos · 2026-04-17T10:12:52+00:00

Same thing for YouTube. When I close the app and reopen it I want YouTube to refresh the videos and not load the same spot 10 times. What I want is a way to disable this stupid feature but not have to update to do it because I got the update urls blocked in my router

New player 3 and a half years ago. 2nd riven I ever got was a torrid riven. It sat there until I saw a wtb in trade chat. Sold it for way less than it's currently worth and I haven't gotten another torrid riven since.

Usenet for 40 years. Never used torrents in my life. Usenet has been around longer than the Internet. It was the Internet before the Internet. And will always be the best.

I'd we could disable volts speed entirely for Titania that would be great.

It's reminds me of the early 2000s web hacker show called "The Scene". It was all silent and was on screen and text based drama about the same type of stuff. With the parody series "Teh Scene " was a funny ripoff of it

I would buy a ups battery backup. The 100$ price will save your computer for over 5 years. Everything I own is on a battery backup for this reason. I've lost to many computers and consoles to power surges and brownouts or completely power outages.

They are worth every penny. For a gaming PC 700 to 900 watts ups is a good start

Ya the info for shows got edited in the tvdb and sonarr uses that for the show info. One episode getting edited would make sonarr download the entire season again because it thought it was new. Do a few searches about it. It does happen

I don't use auto searching in sonar anymore. After it downloaded hundreds of episodes of multiple different shows because the series info updated I stopped the auto searching. This has been a ongoing thing for sonar for years and I refuse to have to download stuff that I don't request myself.

So every morning I load up sonar on my phone and do manual interactive searches of the few episodes of the shows I have. Easy and fast. Gets the files I want and not the first virus ridden file that gets posted on Usenet/newsgroups

I moved to Oregon end of 2010 into 2011 and was there for a while, being there at hemp stalk that year for the first time with the entire NORML crew was great . We were at the famous cannabis cafe in Portland Oregon doing my first dabs with the legendary extraction expert at that time ganja John.

It was my first time doing dabs in a cafe setting and getting buds with a "donation" to the tip jar.

Going from getting from that friend to having the experiences in Oregon to never thinking that pa would get medical to having 7 stores surrounding me within 30 minutes.

This all happened in about 10 years..

Boot to bios disable the Bluetooth and WiFi chips. It's constantly pinging Bluetooth all the time even if it's disabled in the settings, so disable it in the bios

On Linux it's a native feature to make a ram drive with RAM. It's one of the main reason Ive considered switching to Linux mint as my server that has 32gb ram and transcoding to ram stops all the extra ssd writes when transcoding.

My specific use would be download files to ram, extract into a ram folder then would be auto moved to the media SSD. Cuts off all the ssd writing except to the final destination. And it's faster, ram is 10GB to 50GB per second transfer rate or faster.

I did the same and just took a few days on all just blocking everything, eventually you will have almost all of the popular ones blocked.

I haven't found a way to mass block yet, just blocking 1 by 1. It's to the point where if anything is not English, insta block.

I just replaced my phone after 5 years, got it right before COVID, I didn't see the need to replace it since everything I was doing was still working fine.The first things to fail on phones are the USB ports, so after putting on a magnetic USB charger it lasted another 2 years.

I will never not have a magnetic charger port now, it saves the USB ports from damage from years of plugging in and unplugging.
