BrownianMotion , 5 months ago (edited 5 months ago) to piracy in Would a Raspberry Pi Zero be good for Radarr and Sonarr?

Sonarr and Radarr are essentially tailored webpages. You will probably not get both running on one Pi Zero W nicely, due to ram constraints (A Pi Zero 2W would be okay). However One of those apps on a Pi Zero W would be fine, but given enough swap its possible that both would run (albeit slowish, but who cares? its automated so you don’t have to! Doesn’t matter if the “grab” takes a couple more seconds than normally)

There would be a couple of things to note, firstly a slim starting distro, and remove stuff unnecessary. Secondly, you would go the nginx route rather than Apache2 since it is far more lightweight and less RAM overhead. Finally make sure you have a swap area on your memory (preferably not on SD, but you have little choice) The OS (assuming Debian or whatever) will be able to swap out other processes when memory gets low for the active process.

Finally, transfer would be fine using wifi, alongside the browsing data but this is likely to stutter on occasions when you are browsing whilst it is transferring an NZB etc to nzbget or whatever your dldr is. (NZB’s these days can be quite large, especially for a 60GB BR rip type grab.) For torrents you’d probably not notice.

The PI Zero 2 W, is essentially a RPi3b with less ram but with multicores, so it would be more competent (due to being about to switch out to swap faster/more efficiently). But there is no reason why Pi Zero W could not run one of those apps (maybe both, depending on the local db sizes). After all, they are only single threaded anyway, its just how the OS works with them.

(Most of the posts in this thread obviously have little to no knowledge of how Linux works, or the capabilities of the hardware.)

BrownianMotion , 5 months ago to piracy in Been playing 🏴‍☠️ Palworld, I'm surprised online functions flawlessly! Also some notes for would be downloaders

1337x has a 0.1.3.0 version (of the IGG version) now.

BrownianMotion , 5 months ago to piracy in Why are so many people downloading the movie Paul all of a sudden?

Its a great movie! Get onboard, do the lemming thing and follow.

(Sometimes a label is a distraction. expand your mind.)

BrownianMotion , 5 months ago to memes in Which pill do you choose?

Is there a "$5 million and an ‘AGE - 25%’ " option ?

I’d be happy to go back to being 37yo with $5m and still dying at or around (or earlier) than my current unknown death day!!

If I’m going out, its with a lot of bang[ing]!

BrownianMotion , 6 months ago to piracy in Tabula rasa

Darius III is a nice guy. Heads up though, he is a coder/tester. Tabula is for testing. Its functional, but don’t rely on it. His commits generally go back to nZEDb to help all the sites that come from that main alternative to newsnab (nnplus).

Darius was pivotal to adding sequential processing to the app, speeding up processing of many functions.

The project is just a scraper. So no human intervention is needed. So depending on your local laws, you are not in immediate trouble for it scraping bins that are potentially copyright.

You are better however running https://github.com/nZEDb/nZEDb which is the base project that is being worked on and supported.

But I don’t know anything about this, so stop contacting me.

BrownianMotion , 7 months ago to piracy in I just deleted my entire library and redownloaded it.

I have all Simpsons, at max res as they released them! Same with Family Guy, South Park and Robot Chicken (RIP).

Also replaced all my movies that I watch on repeat often to 4K.

I have no idea how much data I used, and don’t care. USENET rocks!

BrownianMotion , 7 months ago to piracy in Are movie and show file sizes more efficient than they were years ago?

In 2017, most content was h264 and 1080p. This typically made a movie about 10GB with just 5.1 sound. Same movie with DTS 7.1 and possibly 5.1 etc, would be 12-16GB. Today That same 16GB movie with H265 would be 6-8GB.

The thing is that now that movies are typically 4K and ATMOS etc (which would have been 30+GB in 2017. For the same given “quality” and bitrate settings, that movie would be ~15GB.

The thing we are seeing now in Usenet/scene releases, is that those quality settings are being pushed up. Due to unlimited internet per month and H265, allowing better quality.

So with that in mind, the answer to your question is, yes and no. I can give you an example: Fast X. I can see a UHD 4K HDR10 TrueHD for 61GB, and all the way down to 2.5GB!!

So now you get to have a choice! :D (Oh, and you can also see the traditional H264 1080p as still sitting at the around 10GB, and the basic 4K version using H265 is only 13GB)

BrownianMotion , 7 months ago to piracy in AudioBook sites?

Do you use Usenet? Then any spotweb(spotnab) site will give you tons.

Oh and I believe Readarr can do Audiobooks as well as regular ebooks (Not tested it myself).

BrownianMotion , 8 months ago to piracy in How to begin setting up a media center?

Jellyfin or Kodi (FOSS), or Emby (Better than Plex, not FOSS, but developer is very responsive) or Plex (bottom of the rung, corporate money grabbers).

Run one of those on your media server, and grab the client for your phone, or tv device.

TV device can be chromecast, roku, whatever (nVidia shield is expensive but it does support DTS and stuff - if you need that (does your TV room have 6+ speakers?)

Personally, I like Emby. It just works.

ownership and operation are the difference.

BrownianMotion , 8 months ago to piracy in Usenet

So your connection can be (using port 587 for example) is encrypted. That is not the problem.

The problem is unencrypted or open filenames. Its the content that is DMCA’d on usenet, not the end user.

If you post up to usenet a file (being really simplistic since most people dont post) called “Deadpool3-h264.mkv” it will be taken down pretty quick on some services.

The problem is only with the users like you, who wanted to get it. The solution to this is threefold, get yourself onto a private scraper (one that only does occasional free signups) or be really fast on content grabbing, thirdly a site that has good de-obfuscating scraping ability. (there are a few out there that are open. pm if you are interested).

BrownianMotion , 8 months ago to piracy in Usenet

That’s fair. I did use them for a while, but in my case (which was very heavy duty), I saw takedowns way faster than others. Not saying they are bad, but they are “super compliant” to complaints.

Welcome! Thanks for also pointing out that yearly is cheaper that monthly subscription.

BrownianMotion , 8 months ago to piracy in Fitgirl repack? What exactly is it?

I couldn’t find the example I had in mind, but it was something that was over 120GB. and the unpack was 8+hrs on what is arguably a reasonable PC.

You forget most people do not have a CPU that has 24 threads, 12 cores. And on top of that, the amount of RAM required can be questioned. If you think your 64GB RAM and 16/32 CPU are “normal” then you are just kidding yourself, and its probably not your money you are spending on it to but it.

Then on top of that, most people have an ISP that can reach far higher speeds than you propose. Mine is a basic minimum of 25MB/s as a basic minimum. I’m sorry to hear that you cannot get even that, but that is as common as muck in most western civilised worlds.
