Been using traditional methods to get my isos and store them locally, and on arrs/Plex for well over a decade.

Honestly the debris stuff never ever interested me, unless the data is in your control locally the rug pull is always on the horizon.

I do wish we could make it easier for non-technical folk, not everyone is wrong in the head like I am to be happy enough building and maintaining a NAS and the software stack required.

Yeah feeling this, I’m a little tired of one country projecting it issues on the entire world.

That sentence can be interpreted in a number of ways and all are correct sadly.

I will do a day one purchase despite being too busy with factorio expansion to actually start it just yet.

They works with almost every single reputable private tracker. I can only my think of one niche one that doesn’t support prowlarr.

My body is ready. 1000+ hours wonders, heres to another 1000

Haha yeah could have worded better. I was running a 3 node k8s cluster on Talos Linux as my homelab. Downsized/simplified to a single NAS (aka NixNAS) + NUC on nixos and split the services between them. Apps that heavily use the NAS live on it for direct file access, the rest hum along on the nuc. I sleep easier with this, rather than fighting nose breakage during upgrades or wondering when my next ceph failure will occur.

Most definietly, I have my entire homelab setup in nix as well as laptop/desktop. Is a hell of a lot easier and more reliable than the Kubernetes setup it replaced…
