  • I ended up with pretty much all the west half of the country, and it got progressively more sparse from there. Basically anything further east than Texas I had maybe half a dozen or so, and the rest I just couldn’t find in my head.

    I knew one of them started with G from the US elections, but couldn’t get to Georgia 🤦 Oh well.

    Vermont I did get thanks to a comedian, I think it’s Tommy Johnagin. He does a bit talking about Texas and how it’s not uncommon to hear something like “we’re gonna beat your ass, Texas style”, and then points out no other state says that, like you won’t hear someone say “we’re gonna beat your ass, Vermont style”.

    Odd things that stick with you that help with trivia 😂


  • I wouldn’t call Ubiquiti corporate level, it’s more prosumer. I’ve seen mixed bag reviews on their more recent stuff, I currently use their wifi APs and home and they work brilliantly for that purpose, but I also have network cabling throughout the house and a server cupboard with several NAS units in it, so… 😂 They do have all in one routers but typically their stuff is better when you get the stuff that does one thing well (like their APs or their managed switches). That does tend to be overkill for most people though where a mesh setup or even a single Wifi router will suffice.

    I’ve also had a lot of luck with TP-Link stuff in the past, both in their stock configurations and also reflashing some routers with OpenWRT (custom firmware), so they’re usually a solid recommendation in my opinion.








  • Have a look through the tools section on the Megathread in the pinned post. For this specific use case you’re probably going to be wanting to look at tools like Sonarr (for TV shows), Radarr (for movies), some form of torrent client that those tools support (Transmission for example), and depending on what your tracker supports, possibly something like Jackett to provide a bridge between your tracker and your downloader tool.

    The benefit of this kind of setup is it’s very easy to add Usenet into the mix if you choose to.

    There’s some extra steps needed if you run it directly on the Mac but you can also do something like run Docker on the Mac and run those tools within Docker instead.

    I’m pretty sure it’s possible to integrate something like Overseerr (which is a web frontend for handing requests for new content) into the Plex watch list meaning you could add a show to your watch list in Plex, Overseerr would pick that up, send it to Sonarr or Radarr depending on the type of content it is, which would then do a search on your tracker for the content, send the torrent to your torrent client, and then when it finishes downloading automatically import it into Plex.
