Fitgirl repacks are broken and have been for a while. Dodi repacks work fine.

You're looking at this with a very closed mind. This isnt (currently) being designed for people to just do normal computer stuff but in their brain. This technology has huge potential for improving prosthetics and treating neurological disorders.

Cold brew and iced coffee are different, one is for tech bros, the other is for women and gay men

Samsung updates, they ruin android more and more with each one. The quality of the ROM an android comes with is a very underrated thing to consider when buying. Pixels are very close to stock android. Nothing is also good, farther from stock but the changes are for the better imo. OnePlus was good last time I had one, but not sure if they still are.

Its in alpha so I'd expect it to be buggy for a while. Performance for me is pretty much the same as it was a few months ago, but I never had any issues.

I know, but they didnt specify if it was on the same drive or not.

By default Sonarr and Radarr both copy files, not move them, so the files shouldnt be disappearing from the original drive.

I believe it is, but I don't think it always has been. I'm not sure if they automatically enabled it for existing installs when it was added.

By default both Sonarr and Radarr copy files, not move them. If they're being removed, something else is likely causing that. Some torrent clients have options to remove files after downloads are complete, maybe you have that turned on?

Telling your client where the file has been moved to wouldn't generally work, since Sonarr and Radarr will reorganize and rename files, so you couldn't keep seeding from them.

You can configure radarr and sonarr to use hard linking instead of moving the.

This guide is pretty good, but I'll also explains the basics here.

You pay a provider for access to Usenet files, which you locate through an indexer, and download through a client such as nzbget.

Picking a provider is the most complicated part. The guide explains how to choose one and r/Usenet has a page in their wiki for good provider deals. I use NewsDemon and they've been fine.

Indexers are pretty much the same as torrent indexers, they can be free or paid, public or private. NZBGeek has been great for me, and AnimeTosho is nice if you want to download anime.

The download clients work similarly to torrent clients with the addition of configuring the connection to your provider. Whichever provider you choose will have instructions for connecting to it.

Downloads aren't peer-to-peer like torrents, so a VPN isnt as necessary, just make sure you pick a provider that doesnt keep logs. It also doesnt hurt to use one if you already pay for one and its not too slow.

One you've picked your provider and indexer, setting everything up is super easy.

Use Usenet instead, way faster downloads. Also lots of clients can stream torrents, so as long the torrent its being seeded well enough you can watch right away.

Worst case just go to one of the 100s of sites with free streams of basically every popular show and movie.

 

I currently have a pretty simple media server. It runs on a desktop made of old parts and has 4 6 TB drives in a raidz1 array. It is used by a lot of friends who add a lot of media, so its been nearly at capacity for a while. The desktop has no more open SATA ports or drive enclosures, so I'm not sure what the best option for adding more drives is.

I know the most obvious answer is buying NAS, but I think it might be a little complex for what I need, because no other devices need any access to this storage. I was considering purchasing a DAS, as it seems like a simple option, but I've seen many people say its not worth purchasing a DAS over a NAS. Any opinions would be appreciated.

Edit: Thanks for the suggestions! I'm likely going to go with a new case for some extra drive bays and a PCI-E SAS controller, this seems like the best option for the simplicity and price!
