      That’s the spirit! If you know your way around Linux admin, docker and such, don’t hesitate to dive into jellyseerr + *arr + Jellyfin, it was much simpler to set up than I expected. Once everything’s up and running, the experience is far superior to any commercial streaming service.

        You’re speaking Greek but I’ll figure it out. I always do.

    I wish I hadn’t went quit on acid lounge for so long… my account was closed due to inactivity (Netflix was a nice option way back then)

    I keep seeing Usenet mentioned for downloading media, but I’ve never tried it; I’ve stuck with torrents because they’re free and what I’m familiar with. Is paying for Usenet access worth it, is it more straightforward to use with the *arr stack, is there more content available?

      IMO Usenet is worth the cost. It’s a different process than torrenting, with some extra steps, but once you wrap your head around it it’s fairly simple. Depending on the indexer you use, Usenet can be much better organized and easier to find what you’re looking for.

      The nice part about Usenet is it’s basically full saturation of your internet line, so if you have a gigabit line, it will come as close as possible to running downloads at that speed. Frugal Usenet is $60 for their annual account, in my opinion it’s worth it just for speed alone. I pay for Usenet ninja as well as a secondary account for failed downloads.
