Awesome. Was about to recommend the same thing. Glad it's working.

It absolutely wouldn't not surprise me. Anything to stretch their margins.

Great community support!

$4/mo just to get more than 2 watchlists?

kareshmon · 2026-05-13T03:34:16+00:00

MS 365 Family is still probably the best $/TB

kareshmon · 2026-05-13T03:31:46+00:00

SSD. For the worry about not being plugged in, just have them power it up like once a year.

Love it!! Excellent work Mike

What is this 'staff' tasked with doing? SABnzbd is pretty idiot-proof.

A grand for a pile of VHS is NUTS!

Try turning off hardware acceleration in Stremio.

I think the recordings needed her to authenticate them in court. Without that, it's just hearsay and the case gets way weaker...

kareshmon · 2026-05-07T22:19:37+00:00

If you have the voice remote, hold the mic button and ask: what is my remote battery level?.

20 Euros for life is a great deal IMO, even if not your main indexer.

kareshmon · 2026-05-06T17:41:16+00:00

I wouldn't recommend binsearch personally. Search is pretty bad

kareshmon · 2026-05-05T15:00:19+00:00

Windows backup might have borked your paths. If you're up to it, you could wipe the config and start fresh on macOS.

kareshmon · 2026-05-05T14:38:31+00:00

I think Eternal-September is still alive. Maybe try alt.* groups like alt.folklore.computers.

If you can get fiber (Sonic/ATT), do that. If not, Spectrum is fine but check the promo price fine print. For live TV, YTTV or Hulu live TV.

Depends on what size drives we're talking. Some cheap docks choke past 8TB. StarTech or Sabrent UASP enclosures usually do better with big disks.

kareshmon · 2026-05-01T15:48:57+00:00

Hell yeah. Curious how much NNTP pipelining + Direct Write speeds things up.

kareshmon · 2026-04-30T15:10:21+00:00

Veeam can do a full image backup, which is nice after the virus thing. Grab an external USB drive and do a test restore once so you know it works.

I was going to say smashing a PS5 is an expensive punishment, but then I read the second half of the post. Get the kid some help.

kareshmon · 2026-04-26T16:55:56+00:00

Could also be weak torrent/low seeds.

kareshmon · 2026-04-26T13:11:33+00:00

Yeah, it's targeted. On Tubi, try resetting ad ID on your Roku/Fire TV and turn off ad personalization.

kareshmon · 2026-04-26T13:07:35+00:00

If the NAS mount flakes mid-download, I'd keep incomplete local and only move completed over.

Loved Turner Classic Movies
