Prowlarr and Jellyseerr are two tools you use together.

Prowlarr is an index manager, for Radarr and Sonarr. With Radarr and Sonarr, generally you’d have to provide individual indexes (in the case of torrents, trackers) for each individual instance of Radarr and Sonarr. With Prowlarr, you basically have a central database of trackers, organized by tags (like movies or TV shows), that will then feed that information to Radarr and Sonarr.

Jellyseerr is like the requesting interface. If you want to watch a show or movie, you place a request with Jellyseerr, that gets sent over to Radarr or Sonarr, and then either instance will then search for the content using the indexes provided by Prowlarr. Radarr or Sonarr will then begin the download, and then organize it within your media files.

I’m really just watching out for any upload speed increases. At this point, I don’t care about download speed increases, I just want upload speeds to increase. The only mention of it in that article is their plans to implement DOCSIS 4.0 later this year, which should increase upstream and downstream capacity. However, still no mention of how long it may take to be fully implemented.

I haven’t seen it mentioned, but a great option that I’ve used a few times before is Mirotalk. There’s two versions, Mirotalk SFU and Mirotalk P2P.

Mirotalk SFU uses a central server where your stream can be sent to, and you’ll receive others’ streams from that same server. Mirotalk P2P, as expected is P2P with WebRTC, and doesn’t require a server (other than the website your watching from). The only downside with the P2P is that it doesn’t handle a lot of users in a single call very well.

Mirotalk is open source, doesn’t require an account, and has nice features like built-in chat, whiteboard, file uploads, and the ability to play YouTube videos directly from the web client.

For Mirotalk SFU, you can either use the demo instance, or you can host your own server to use.

When I was a kid I had the bright idea during a daydream that if I were to officially acquire Antarctica as territory, either as part of my current country or as a brand new country, I could make the claim that air pollution from other wealthy nations is causing me to lose territory (glaciers melting from climate change). Then, I can fight back against other countries for their inaction towards climate change.

Other idea, build massive communities under the ice and snow in Antarctica, utilizing primarily wind energy above the surface for electricity.

Getting onto MyAnonaMouse was the best thing for me for audiobooks. They have open applications once every week I think, and they have most of the audiobooks I ever need, and many that I didn’t know I needed.

I use Alpine Linux for my home server. I chose it cause it runs very well on my raspberry pi 4 NAS/media server. I can leave it running for a long time, and I won’t have issues with it. Pretty easy to install applications and run docker containers. Its very lightweight and efficient. The only issues I have with it is that sometimes packages won’t be available for me due to running an ARM CPU. Usage is slightly different than something like Ubuntu, slightly different commands and such. You’ll also have to install all the applications You’ll need. I only need SSH access to it, i don’t have a GUI or desktop for it.

Outside of self-hosted solutions, there’s JustWatch, which allows you to create an account, add movies and TV shows, and then you can rate them and get recommendations for it. It’s not FOSS, and you do have to create an account, but it does let you have a universal watch list for all services you own, and then see what people are watching and get recommendations.

Interesting, looking into it, it can automatically send a request to Sonarr and Radarr to download certain content, if I don’t have it on a streaming service? How does this compare to Jellyseerr?

I dont cook very often, but when I do, I have a meal prep recipe that I try out. I look over the recipe in the book, copy everything to my notes app, and then try cooking it. After cooking, I review my process, and generally make tweaks to the recipe like changing order of items I cook in, or change the method of how I cook. And because it’s meal prep, I then later note down how long reheating takes in the microwave.

Some kind of watch list feature for Jellyfin.

Or, a self-hosted universal watch list for both Jellyfin and any platforms I may use from time-to-time. In the past I’ve resorted to compiling a massive table, but now I just have an account on JustWatch. Obviously doesn’t show me anything from Jellyfin, though.

Other than that, I feel like we need to teach others how to pirate themselves. I’m often the one that friends and family come to to get books, streaming links, software, etc. Its surprising how little people understand how torrenting actually works at a fundamental level.
