Yeah, It's just worded weird to me. They set up some ram only VMs for the RoS to ssh into so they're not in prod. Plus "asked them to focus solely on VPN servers that run from RAM"
To me, the way this is worded, suggest that they have VPN servers that do not run from ram. I know I can ask support but I'm not going to bother. Just curious what other people here thought.
They keep saying "VPN server running from RAM". Does this mean they have some that do not? How do I know mine is one?
For me, Its the call forwarding option. My Cell provider has a special number in there for unanswered calls. If you forward that to a number that isn't real all unanswered (and blocked calls) will get a 'this number does not exist" message.
Be careful with this because real callers and people you know will get the message if you don't answer.
Aye, my bad. 5 Download 25API is listed in the "Daily Limits" column so you're right.
You're going down the same path I did awhile ago. It's super fun when things work. Not so much when it doesn't. If you want me to add to that list. Add Tailscale (and maybe Headscale ) to that list. I cant get over how cool it is. I've installed the app on my phone/Laptop and can access everything in my house while I'm away.
I have a couple raspberrypi4 and Lenovo M93p hosting all my stuff and I picked RackNerd from this list.
For sure! Good luck! I'd suggest not paying for DS until you hit the free limit, then you can decide if you want to pay or wait a day for 25 more downloads. To be honest, I doubt you will hit the limit but I could be wrong.
I'm not sure where nextcloud comes in but I get your point. Cheers!
Do you have a particular client (sabnzd/getnzb etc) you would reccomend?
I use Kubernetes (k3s specifically) to host
so I guess I'd recommend sabnzbd. However, I've heard that others are "better". I've had no problems with sab.
would you know if that one is good?
So, This is where I'm not 100% sure myself. I know there are a LOT of resellers and I'm not sure how up to date this map is but it's worth looking at. Anything on the same backbone should have the same file available.
An EU server that observes NTD is suggested as per this post. From my understanding they're slower to remove copyright infringing files. I only download linux ISOs so this doesn't matter to me.
“longest retention” isn't really a big deal. It seems that the hard to find and old shit are not on any Indexer I have. Meaning there's not NZB file for me to even try to download... I usually fall back to Torrent and jackett but there's also bin search that can turn up files some times.
A lot of people will get a primary provider for the year then buy a "block" of data from a different provider on a different backbone. You can set the priority in sab to only use the primary unless some files are missing, then look at the backup. Personally I have a yearly sub of NewsDemon (SUPER cheap offer so I cant leave) and usenetserver. Neither of them have 100% available requested articles. YMMV.
I just signed up for DS, but I’ll be paying for it probably friday, just gonna get the unlimited, the price diff is worth it and I like to download so I’d probably hit limits. Eweka isn’t the cheapest it looks like but it seems they have a deal right now.
I have no experience with DS but everyone seems to love it. I'll be using the free account when my other indexers do not have what I'm looking for... nzbgeek and nzbplanet have lifetime accounts and nzb.su seems to be another good one people suggest.
I just like, go to DS and search “Mars Needs Women” and click “download .nzb,” then unrar it if I have to and move it to my external for permanent storage like on a torrent site?
The process would be
As for the *arrs, do I need them,
you don't need the *arrs. if you do not get them, then I'd suggest staying with the free DS account. The paid is more for automation.
seem to suggest the *arrs are maybe necessary but I can’t quite figure out if they really are or not lol.
Usenet without the *arr's is basically saying "I've paid for the bus but I'm going to walk".
I do nothing. I sleep at night and go about my day. when I want to watch TV I open up Plex and go to "recently added" to see what the *arrs have got for me. I use to get my stuff manually but waking up Monday Morning to Futurama ready to watch is very nice. When someone says "have you seen XXX" I say nope but I'll add it to my list. Open up *arr and add it. Couple hours later I have all of it. I'll add a movie I want to see that's not out yet. When it is, It'll be in plex.
Happy to answer any more questions you have. Just ask away.
Indexers (like the torrent sites TPB, 1337x, etc) are not free. Some will let you get a free account, like DS, but you're limited in downloads. They'll give you .nzb (like .torrent) files.
Sab,nzbget, etc (like utorrent,qbitorrent) are free. They're open source software to download the files you want utilizing the .nzb files.
Providers are paid. Usenet server, newsdemon, etc are the companies that host files for you to download. They're basically like torrent "seeders" but it's just one company and usually pretty fast. I don't know of any free providers.
At minimum, you'll have to pay for a provider. I got 80% off of one and I pay $37USD for a year. Others are ~$70CAD for a year. There is deals posted on reddit all the time so look around. You'll never have to pay full price.
If you're going to use Radarr or Sonarr (free, open source software) you should pay for an unlimited indexer, like DrunkenSlug, so you don't hit the limits. I don't know of any free unlimited ones. You can use the *arr's with torrents but its not as good.
I personally follow all the technology communities and just show new subscribed content on my main page. Some content is the same but there's a lot of different posts too.
It kind of sucks that there's several sub's with a lot of people but then again, that's the point, right?
I've stayed away from waydroid so I can't speak to this. Though, you can think of the phone as a Linux desktop in your pocket. Some programs/apps do not scale to a phone screen and battery life is used like a laptop so the phone can die quickly depending on what you're running.
Waydroid is no different. Give it a try on your PC to get a general idea. Notifications, if working, will cause the phone to die quickly. Android pushes everything through their services.
Get a provider. r/usenet has a good list in their wiki. This is the "seeder".
Sabnzbd or NZBget is the software you'll need to do the actual downloading. This is like utorrent/qbittorrent/what ever you kids use these days.
Sonarr/radarr to automate.
I've read a lot of mixed reviews for Mikrotik. Does yours run hot at all?
The problem with all this, I'm not hosting much from my house so why upgrade? I have symmetrical 500Mbps and sure, 10G would be cool but for what? So my Linux ISO or Game download is super fast? Then I'll need to get an NVME cache disk, or upgrade my storage raid to SSDs... Where does it end?
My little ~$250 CAD Netgate 1100 handles the 500 Mbps. That's really all I need. I only ever hit the limit on Usenet anyway.
I'm never going to leave the $15 public mobile plan. I have a travel app that let's me download e-sims for data, if I need it.
