A mini PC with a USB IR receiver and whatever old remote you have to spare. It takes a bit of setup to map the remote with something like LIRC, but it works great once that's done.

The Copilot integration they recently pushed to 11 says otherwise. They're going hard on AI moving forward.
It reduces your available peers. You can't connect to other people with closed ports, one side needs to be open.
It isn't a huge deal with popular torrents, but it can cause problems with unpopular/old stuff.
I've seen SSDs hit 100TB, but those are $40k+. And more "reasonable" options like 64TB for $10k or so.
HDDs just reached 30TB, but I don't think those are widely available yet. 24TB is the biggest you can expect to see for sale.
Usenet is a lot faster than torrents, you don't need a VPN, and it's more reliable than anything but great private trackers.
You can get a USB IR receiver and use software like LIRC to map the inputs of basically any remote you have. Setting it up takes a little effort, but it works great when it's done.
I would sell a few of them to shore up the budget, then use those funds to build a NAS box. You can buy everything other than drives for a few hundred, less if you have spare parts sitting around.
This is the fucking dream. Lidarr is serviceable to get a library going, but we could do so much better.
Lidarr is the corresponding program for music, setup is almost identical to what you're already running. And if you use Prowlarr to manage your indexers, it also works with Lidarr.
If you go to your torrent client and disable the missing file, it should get reported as "complete" to the *arrs. Manual and annoying, but it works.
Exactly. Doesn't matter if they're wired or wifi, or where they are, as long as they're on the same network you're fine.
It's also free in the Bitwarden app if you self-host with Vaultwarden. It's only a paid feature if you're using their hosting, and seemingly only so they can dangle it as a "premium" benefit.
