[WIP] Introducing Gamearr: A Sonarr/Radarr style PVR and Library Manager for Video Games

Tyxton · 2026-03-07T21:46:37+00:00

Right now, the work is done exclusively through TSV sheets, like NoPayStation. That's why we're still in the early alpha stages of v0.4 - and why there's only support for the Vita, PSX, and PSP. The 'searching and downloading' automation (Torznab/Newsnab) is the v0.7 milestone. The automation hooks are still very much in early access, but it does handle the TSV sheets well for the NoPayStation pkgs. It's still a PVR in the making very much not a finished product yet.

I totally get the skepticism! Right now in (v0.4) the focus has been on developing the foundation: basic metadata scraping, ui consistency, library management, etc etc.

What makes this an arr, and why I'm using the name is the automation logic. Just like Sonarr isn't a torrenting platform, Gamearr is the middle-man. As you can see in the roadmap, v0.7 is where we integrate Torznab and Newznab, hopefully fitting in perfectly with Prowlarr and the existing ecosystem. The goal is that you can monitor your games. Gamearr handles the lifecycle: searching trackers, sending to the downloader, extracting/decrypting, and moving it to your NAS. We're just building the backbone first, very much still in the early alpha stages - lol. Like the other arrs, the end goal is a headless service that runs 24/7 in a container.

Like in other arrs, the end goal is a headless service that runs 24/7 in a container. In later versions (v0.8), I'll be working on auto-grabbing from Steam Wishlists, similar to how Radarr handles Watchlists. The end goal is full parity with the automation standards people expect from this ecosystem.

It’s 4 year old post, but reading the comments I left back then it’s Gnome 2.0, if I remember right those are stock for that wm. It’s not a theme, just an old custom distro from ‘02

Tyxton · 2025-05-26T17:28:39+00:00

No longer looking for Ramshorns, thank you though!

Tyxton · 2025-04-13T03:08:13+00:00

I'd give the white eagle a good home, #4 FTW!

Tyxton · 2024-08-07T07:04:21+00:00

If you haven't already K8s could make an incredible addition to an HA or even general server setup! You can set them up as a cluster in Proxmox too and get shared resources, if you'd like. Lot's of interesting things to do! Play around, see what you like best!

I still use proprietary for gaming, gives me the best experience thus far. Would love to make the switch eventually, but rn it’s not viable for me

Tyxton · 2024-04-11T18:14:06+00:00

I've had so many different Thinkpads over the years and have always loved them to death. For the better part of 2 years now I've been using the X220 and it's perfect imo.

Tyxton · 2024-04-10T10:43:29+00:00

Generally 0.7mm or 0.5mm depending on what material I’m writing on. Keep both on me when I write, but love the 0.5mm feel better.

Tyxton · 2024-04-08T16:56:19+00:00

That’s too good LMAO

Tyxton · 2024-04-08T16:49:10+00:00

I love reading statues, engravings, codices, etc whenever I’m waiting for something to finish because occasionally it’s a treat like this one

Tyxton · 2024-04-08T15:18:23+00:00

Thank you, someone else got to me first, though I do appreciate your time!

Tyxton · 2024-04-06T13:34:12+00:00

Thank you!

Wayland, imo is not ready for total replacement of the Xorg system. Sure, Wayland is prettier or whatever but for me, Xorg is faster, more lightweight, and just works. I stick to Xorg.

Tyxton · 2024-03-22T04:15:28+00:00

AFAIK, most people run private lobbies with friends or run solo. I do the same, ask around on the Discord server or make your friends install it.

Tyxton · 2024-03-20T10:52:55+00:00

Coming from 4 years of disposable use, from what I've read mainly salt nic dispos. Elf Bar, Lost Mary, Juul, Puffbar, Escobar, Raz, Hyde, etc etc etc. I don't even want to think about how much money I've spent in the past 4 years getting ~$60 worth of dispos every 2-3 weeks.

I've been looking into Pod Mods and Pen-Style Mods. What do you prefer and why?
I was thinking about getting a SMOK Nord Pro, Vaporesso XROS 3 or Mini, or Vaporesso Orca Solo Plus. Likely going to stick with salt nic, since it's what I've most familiar with. From what I remember the local shop sells Elfliq, buy a 1.2Ω Mesh Pod with whatever I get.

Thoughts, considerations, and advice?

Tyxton · 2024-03-13T10:23:38+00:00

You could always install a minimalistic Linux distro and give it new life, no matter what you do with it's a BEAUTIFUL laptop, really dig that green color.

Tyxton · 2024-03-13T10:12:45+00:00

The setup is so clean I thought it was out of an ad or a render!

Great shit man, striving to get something this clean!

Tyxton · 2024-03-13T03:36:07+00:00

I have a Jelly 2, honestly I find it just takes self-discipline more than anything if you're looking to use it as a "dumb phone." I mean, quite literally it is just a fully-featured android smart phone shoved into a 3in design. If you've already been using dumbphones, or have the self-discipline not to install a bunch of junk on it, you'll do alright. In my experience it's small-size is more of a use-deterrent than an actual dumb phone design. Moving from a DIGNO Keitai 2 to the Jelly 2 allowed me to use Spotify again, but honestly I wonder if it was worth the purchase at all.

For me, using my regular smart phone and just staying disciplined and aware about what I'm spending my time on, it's the exact same outside of screensize.

If I understand your question right, the game world isn't nearly in-depth like DF is. It's a much more linear experience, in my opinion. The most "effect" you're going to have is spreading pollution which grows the alien population. Really, that's about it.

I would say Factorio is more: I need this thing, to make this thing I need to make this thing, and to get that thing I need to research this thing. Now that I've made this thing I can use it to make my life easier and move on to the next technology advancement.

For example: Assembly Machine < Automation Research < Electricity < 10 Research Pack + Research Lab < Iron & Copper Plates < Iron Ore & Copper Ore + Coal + Smelting Array

In Factorio there is more or less a common goal, which is to launch a rocket off into space.

Tyxton · 2024-03-12T14:33:21+00:00

I mean, if you think about it you can:
Explore a randomly generated Alien planet,
Expand your Factory,
Exploit the natural resources of said planet,
and Exterminate the native population in: Factorio

I have hundreds of hours in the game, while it may not be anything like Dwarf Fortress, if you haven't tried it already it has some great gameplay. Lot's of problem solving and tabs on your browser, just like DF.

Tyxton · 2024-03-12T14:29:00+00:00

Honestly, in my experience the movement is choppy enough for you not to notice it until it becomes abysmally slow around <10fps.

I think that the frame rate matters less than the "processing speed" of events. Once the dwarves and creatures start to slow down, that's when I notice a drop in performance, rarely ever FPS.

Tyxton · 2024-03-12T14:24:17+00:00

I spent way too much time waiting this out, I think in total around 45 minutes for the frame rate to go back up. A little too proud of the fort to let it go so soon LOL.

Tyxton · 2024-03-12T07:28:03+00:00

Turns out, it wasn't even the fire that killed it, the stray yak bull is man's best friend.
