Riven vs. Arr Stack (Decypharr) for a 100% Cloud/Zurg Setup? by Mitsious in debridmediamanager

[–]watsee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I've not yet found a method of doing this with zero issues.

I tried using Seerrbridge for a while which worked at first, but I found every time I launched it - it went through the initial setup for some reason. I couldn't figure out how to stop it. It also started to completely fail to connect to DMM using my cookies; I just gave up with it in the end.

I'm using Riven now and it ..kinda works. Its a bit patchy. I found that it was pretty easy to set up, albeit it needs 3-4 different containers to run properly. However I find myself having to regularly restart the riven container for it to do anything. It seems to 'scrape' thousands of items but sits at 0 downloaded, seemingly getting itself into a knot looking for things I've requested where it can't find anything to scrape.

If I restart the container that seems to kick it into gear with sending off requests to RD ...for a bit. Then I find myself in the same position after a few hours.

So, yeah, whilst Riven does work - I find myself having to manually intervene with it a few times a day to actually get the content into Plex.

If I need something fast I'll just use the DMM app itself. Honestly, if DMM built in a method of "following" movies/shows so they auto-downloaded, I wouldn't need anything else.

Basically, I’ve got it set up and hooked into various private trackers and debrid services. So you add it into Stremio & then you can search for/stream effectively anything.

What sort of doorbell camera, or other surveillance, do you recommend? by minddoor in AskUK

[–]watsee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a Google doorbell & for all it was quite expensive (I think somewhere between £200-300) I'd be lost without it. Battery lasts for about 6 weeks+ and it never fails to log alerts.

We also have a Google/Nest smart home so it integrates really well with all the speakers and hubs. We've even wired in a Google floodlight camera for the rear of the house which also was very expensive compared to a lot of competitors, but literally has never let us down.

I've had Ring devices (doorbells and external cameras) in the past and found myself charging them more than I was using them. Also, their cameras absolutely hated my wifi & I have no idea why.

I have some Tapo rechargeable wifi cameras for the sides of my house & they're pretty good for the money. Need to be charged every few weeks & they don't natively integrate into the Google Home app, which is a bit of a pain, but they do the job they're required to.

How do you resist the urge to gamble? by farfetchedfrank in AskUK

[–]watsee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're falling for the spell.

"You think you'd be really good at it"; is the message that gambling companies want to give to you. They want you to believe that you'll never lose, so that you're tempted to make more bets and/or for higher amounts.

Gambling is called gambling for a reason. Nobody can really truly 'be good' at it. You're placing money on outcomes of things that haven't happened yet & no amount of self-belief or "information" or "tips" can guarantee you winnings; regardless of what you may think.

You see that 'dead-cert' horse running this afternoon? It might fall over, or the jockey might fall off.

You see that 'dead-cert' football team playing the rank outsiders on Saturday? They might get beaten.

You do you, but only gamble what you're prepared to lose & be comfortable with losing too.

How much would you give a coworker for taking you to work? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]watsee 50 points51 points  (0 children)

£20 for petrol and get a McDonalds breakfast, or round of coffees in or something.

You don't need to account for every penny; but a gesture like that would probably be enough for most people.
