yeah this has got me second guessing hosting my own instance as well.

A blast from the past. Totally forgot about it existing until this post.

I’m not nor was I angry, just being honest.

They don't. Only shitty trackers. Every tracker I use has zero ads. A thing called private trackers exist. Every good torrent site has zero ads.

If you can't get in a private tracker and don't want ads, usenet is better than public trackers anyways.

Private trackers >/= usenet > public trackers

Clone wars show and the animated shows in general + andor are peak Star Wars imo

Also running an LSI 9211-8i P20 in IT mode - you pick that up from theartofserver or flash yourself?

How much is that VPS costing you monthly?

Agreed. Rack mount is cool but I don’t have the space for that

Yeah the r7 xl is crazy, and pretty pricey.

A little overkill for my needs at this point in time as well. R5 is midtower and I didn’t feel like going full tower.

Just added 5x18TB Seagate Ironwolf NAS (CMR) drives to my build.

it's a retired desktop/gaming pc

• Ryzen 5600x
• Radeon 580 gpu
• 3x4tb zfs raidz1 array
• 5x18tb zfs raidz1 array
• 48gb RAM (to be upgraded)
• Plex, jellyfin (and jellyvue) both behind a reverse proxy, other non related services like vaultwarden etc
• Sonarr/radarr/lidarr/jackett via docker using private trackers, running mostly linuxserver.io docker images
• Proxmox

Edit: along with the 5 new drives, switched to a fractal R5 case to accommodate the amount of hard drives
