  • The arr stack is kinda tricky to get started and understand how it all works together, but as soon as it clicks, it’s awesome !!

    Can’t exactly say what, but I kinda got lost and what helped me out was to slowly work one arr service at a time and understand what they actually do. (First only Sonarr after awhile I added prowlarr, then radarr and now slowly testing Seer !)

    Trash guide was also helpful specially for custom formats. Just take your time and don’t try to much to make your own custom formats… Have seen alot a of people on private trackers blow up their ratio without noticing it.

    Best advice I can give you is to just play arround with sonarr or radarr alone and try things out and see what they do ^^ Or try to read and understand the official documentation but you will have a better grasp while doing things :)

    Edit: Ohh and forget about asking chatGPT… It will mostly output outdated information an cause you more trouble and leave you even more confused !



  • It’s kinda open I guess… But as soon as you try to do things out of the box on MacOS, it just doesn’t work without a janky workarround ^^

    And just don’t get me started on their .plist implementation 🤦‍♂️ I haven’t update for about 2 years, in fear it will totally break my current workflow and all the custom things I had to do to make it work HOW i like it and not how Apple dictates it.

    It’s a gift, but God what I hate that dumb stupid Macraptop !




  • limited content compared to Netflix

    Not sure if this is actually a key difference. You can have as many content as you want on your service, if you have the needed space ! But the point is, when self-hosting your ARR stack, it’s more about QUALITY vs QUANTITY…

    How many times have I seen people looking for something to watch and bing scrolling Netflixe’s front end.

    For the rest you’re on point !!
















  • What do youngstar use nowadays if it isn’t PDF? EPUB?

    I always wondered, why someone would prefere to read an EPUP instead of a PDF ! Specially Student books, cook books or any other book with images or representations.

    Yeah EPUB’s are good for long text stories without any image, but everything else should be in pdf.
