Trying to be as helpful as I can, I think you might consider streaming (Plex/Jellyfin) and downloading (*arrs) as two seperate concerns.
Arrs:
For now don't worry about anything other than sonarr (tv shows) or radarr (movies). you can add the more complexity once you get it working.
These *arrs do two main things:
Connect to a "transport" to get new media or update existing media. This is a torrent client or a nzb/usenet client.
Manage your media files (such as storage strategies).
I would create a minimum viable config like this:
[sonarr] ----> [transmission or whatever torrent/nzb client]
at that point you should be able to download tv shows and you can building on it. Next steps might be nzbget, radarr or seerr (which is a very nice way to surface this functionality to your users), or connect things like prowlarr.
The other thing I would say is use something like Docker for this. Easy to make changes that way and provision new services. Here's my arrs stack's docker-compose.yml (which is by far not best practice, but it might help you)
Everyone one loves to talk about how they use jellyfin, but I suspect many more people quietly run Plex. You should probably try both, but some things to be aware:
Jellyfin:
Pros:
Very configurable and extensible with a massive plugin library
Free
No bloat
Excellent codec support
Cons:
No streaming tunnel. If you use cloudflare tunnel, you aren't allowed to stream media. If you use pangolin, you can create something on Oracle's free teir that should be good enough. but you need to configure and set that up. Plex just works out of the box
Significant security issues. I really don't wont to start a flame war, but there are issues that I find concerning such as streams being no-auth etc. In their defence, they're working through the issues. You could probably manage this with some good reverse proxy configs.
UI can be a bit slow on older hardware. Plex isn't great either, but in my experience, Jellyfin is worse.
Plex
Pros:
Has an included tunnel service for remote access which requires very little configuration
Everything just works
UI is pretty responsive. Better than AWS Prime apps on my tv, worse than netflix/youtube.
Cons:
Not free. However, they frequently have significant sales on their lifetime membership.
Spammy home view. You can disable this on each client, but its just an extra level of confusion for non techies connecting to your system.
Very little extensibility. They use to support plugins but those days are pretty much gone.
It chokes on some HDR codecs on my 5 year old tv I find, where as jellyfin doesn't
Personally, I think Plex is best if you want to access this stuff remotely and you haven't yet configured a reverse tunnel that can stream media. If you have a pangolin, or you're comfortable opening a port on your home router, or you have no need to stream remotely, then Jellyfin might be worth looking at if for no other reason than its ecosystem of plugins. I have both available remotely, but I use Plex more than I use Jellyfin.
They sound like twats. There’s something ugly about exploiting a cheaper cost of living overseas and still complaining about it to the locals. I have suspicions where these videos were filmed.
The UK complaining about Australia is one of their favourite pastimes. We too in Australia feed off their tears and it would sincerely break our hearts if they were to stop.
Sorry, I also had more information, but I was falling asleep as I wrote that message:
It has been pretty easy to find Chartreuse in where I live, but I have heard that it has become hard to get yellow and green Chartreuse in the US. In my opinion, while a Naked and Famous is a great cocktail, the Division Bell isn't too far from it and is cheaper to make. The Mezcal is certainly more dominate.
Sea Legs has been one of my favourite drink over the last half year. The peat from the Islay(pref. Laphroaig) pairs wonderfully the mezcal. If you like the Modern Medicine or the Penicillin, I'm pretty confident you would love this drink. I highly recommend making your own orgeat (if you're not already). There is a hack where you can make it from oat milk, which is easy and much nicer than store-bought. Every time I've been served a drink with store-bought orgeat, its tasted awful.
I also use my celery bitters in a jalapeño & grapefruit cordial, which makes for a good mocktail. It works well with those kind of flavours.
These strategies are quite nice. I was worried I would have to show my license which I’m not entirely comfortable with. I can easily talk about how my friend skateboarded to my house after the breakfast club first aired so we could excitedly discuss it and I could take a photo of drinking a pint while driving. Easy.
25-35, drinking, concerts, bars. Some non-alcohol activities.
[after this time a majority of my friends have had kids and/or been priced out of my city]
35-45, Coffee catchups, work parties, activities like D&D. Traveling to see older friends. Slowly learning how to socialize without alcohol.
It does require more effort the older you get. I can get introverted, making it harder to invest the effort. Having an outgoing wife has really helped me in this regard.
My servers are one NUC clone and a 4*16tb NAS. I have a lot of docker containers running constantly and yet cooling has never really been an issue for me. A larger concern is I would rather not see it, so It's hidden it under furniture. The fans on the NAS have attracted a layer of dust, and one day I might clean it. Kidding. I wont.
My security team involves a bull dog named Sophie, who has never done more than lick any other being, but I'm banking on burglars not knowing this.
Agreed. This sort of thing works well for when there is something difficult to visualise like maps of a warzone or how a budget is being divided. All it does here was make the article harder to read.
Ooooh I would not be throwing that stone in such a glass house. Has Australian Coal ever released their donor list? As far as I can tell, they have not.
Courting foreign influence from the opposition undermines their case and doesn't project the sorely needed leadership from the LNP. Not a good look, Sussan Ley.
I say it’s like reddit when it was smaller and less obnoxious. If they inquire more, I discuss federation by describing email. I mostly try to sell that people are nicer and you start to know your netisan compatriots. I haven’t been successful in convincing anyone to join as far as I know.
I got banned from a subreddit because the mod had this "not with us, you are against us"argument. It was years ago, but IIRC I was posting against a comment calling for assaulting men to balance out the abuse of women.
To be honest, I think I may have seen more banning on Lemmy though. I've noticed a few cases where the admins have banned people with objectionable opinions. In all fairness, these were the type people you would avoid at parties, but it does give me pause. In reddit if you get banned from a particular subreddit you still keep your identity and participate in other subreddits. In Lemmy, you are at the mercy of your server, and if a large server bans you, it would essentially remove you from all of their communities that otherwise might accept you. I worry that this is creating an echo chamber.
@Nath, Are you talking about soaking the chickpeas the night before? I used to do that in giant tubs when I was younger and worked in a restaurant, but there's no way I'm remembering to do that for a small snack the next day. Are people really this functional?
I don't mind smart products, though I'm not sure what problem is solved by a screen on a fridge. That said, I do hate it when these devices need to rely on the cloud to function, and Ads I can't tolerate--I usually try to block the DNS address for things that like to spy on me or show me ads.
This sort of stuff damages the Samsung as a brand. It makes me unlikely to consider Samsung for other products like TVs.

A disgrace.
The one on the left, because I have friends and when they visit they also expect to drink from a glass.
There’s a trend to arrange everything like a sculptures in the louvre. It’s a cupboard, and it has doors for a reason.
This does not spark joy.

Fair call, but it’s worth adding he is still the chairman and part of the Toyoda dynasty and clearly representing the brand.

Thanks! I will give this a go next batch I make. I'm always looking for new mocktail ideas.
A true anti-anti-fascist. If only there was a simpler name for that, but nothing is coming to mind.
