I started to think of Reddit as just an occasional Google search result necessary evil and have successfully ignored it ever since.

This is my experience. I try to search elsewhere, but consistently still find good info there. Only when I exhaust other options I go crawling back.

Are we counting like Ares and Limewire? I just wanted to listen to music and could never pay it. That turned into software I wanted but couldn’t buy. Then I stopped for a while and started up again years ago not wanting to pay for streaming

I was just looking into this for myself. Can I ask what you went with?

It’s not foss or self hostable, but Flipp does this. Pulls weekly ads you can compare.

Showing like that for me as well. Haven’t found a setting to mess with, maybe they’ll update and change it back.

Amazon?

You would probably enjoy Overseerr

In my opinion, you should be running everything as a docker container. I would first get Plex running to learn, and expand from there; Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr, Overseerr, torrent client, etc.

For resources and documentation, Spaceinvaderone on YouTube is great (older but still relevant), and I also enjoy IBRACORP’s videos. As for text based, TRaSH Guides are basically defacto.

Currently have everything in a Node 804 sitting on a shelf in the office. Will be racked soon, along with everything else, to save space. Nothing too crazy

Hardware:

• Ryzen 7 3700x
• B550 mATX board
• 32GB RAM
• 2x WD Red Pro 6TB (1 parity)
• 6x WD Red 4TB
• 2x Samsung EVO 1TB cache pool

Services:

Plex, Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr, Deluge, Overseerr, Tautulli, PMM, Homarr, plus a few other random ones I mess around with.

Running all services through docker integration in Unraid OS.

Shield is the only correct answer. Pro or regular, doesn’t matter.
