Yeah, it’s a bit annoying and really should be built in to the CLI or GUI apps.

Mostly bootleg cars.

Yup, if you just use a couple different IPs in a given time they will arbitrarily mark you as requiring a license.

Was just looking at that and it seems promising. I take it you can setup a Goodreads list and Readarr will just periodically update and auto-add?

Arch is just the base that is used for the containers. It doesn’t matter what your host OS is.

Are you using OpenVPN or Wireguard configs?

For Wireguard I had to slightly modify the commands to open a port to:

natpmpc -g 10.2.0.1 -a 0 0 tcp 60

natpmpc -g 10.2.0.1 -a 0 0 udp 60

while true ; do date ; natpmpc -g 10.2.0.1 -a 0 0 tcp 60 && natpmpc -g 10.2.0.1 -a 0 0 udp 60 || { echo -e “ERROR with natpmpc command \a” ; break ; } ; sleep 45 ; done

I replaced my aging NUC with a Minisforum SFF box and am also very happy with it. Footprint is slightly larger, but actually find it much quieter. The NUC was basically silent 90% of the time too, but it had an annoying high pitched whine if you were doing something very CPU-intensive.

Depending on model they can support up to 2 m.2s and a 2.5" drive.

Completely worth it. Tons of content and a great community.

The interview process isn’t a big deal at all… basically just asking questions to confirm you understand the rules.

I use Duplicati and backup server to both another PC and the cloud. Unlike a lot of data hoarders I take a pretty minimalist approach to only backing up core (mostly docker) configs and OS installation.

I have media lists but to me all that content is ephemeral and easily re-acquired so I don’t include it.

That’s a little harsh but I definitely agree it doesn’t tend to offer a better or equal alternative to any free options available. You’re giving up a certain level of ease of use.
