I've got a lifetime account at nzbgeek. There are free sites as well, but most of them don't have an API. I've automated it all with sonarr/radarr and nzbget.

In the Netherlands we complain a lot about gas prizes, costs of groceries. et cetera.

Sorry, moest ik even fixen :)

On topic, I'm in NZ and we tend to be behind in things, but Internet here is awesome. NZ$95 for unlimited 900/500mbps. They are starting to roll out 2.5 gbps.

I've got the same device, it's awesome! I'm using stremio and real debrid and it's great. I replaced the stock launcher and now have Stremio feeds on my home screen instead of all the default ads/crap in the stock launcher.

With realdebrid it's even better :) But yes special content is hard to find, I still have to revert back to usenet for some content.

conditional forwarding

Thanks, tried that, but didn't make a difference.

My router is very basic, so it's all or nothing, i.e. can't configure VLAN or firewall rules.

If you point the guest network’s dns to the gateway, that gateway needs to know what to do with those requests. Either it has a resolver locally or it mist forward it elsewhere.

Yep, you're correct, and that's working as expected except for Pi Hole Local DNS entries. I've configured DNS in DHCP to the Gateway and I can successfully access the internet on my Guest WiFi network. It resolves ALL DNS entries correctly, except for Local DNS entries configured in Pi Hole.

I switched to Deezer for the pod cast issue. My favourite pod cast kept being deleted from Spotify. Owner said it was Spotify at fault. Also had issues with offline mode.

Deezer is awesome.

Yes it does. The download size for xss will be smaller than xsx.

Yeah, thanks, but that's not available on Chromecast with Google TV :( Matt Huisman has cracked the app which should work on any device, still need to try it.

I also fell into the OW2 trap and I became unbearable to the people around me.

Exactly this. I became grumpy and angry, couldn't stop "because I just have to win once" and felt like an addict. It's a very similar feeling to alcohol which I quit 5 years ago.

Take care. Good on you for managing it with other hobbies!

Sorry to hear about this mate. As someone else mentioned, perhaps it's the type of game you play? I enjoy gaming and can moderate fine. However, recently started playing Overwatch (hey another Blizzard game) and noticed I got addicted. Couldn't stop playing, thought about it a lot, etc. Reminded me of being addicted to alcohol or other drugs.

I quit playing OW2, and the urges to play started to get easier, and I enjoy gaming again.

Ahhh why didn't I try that myself. Yes I see he has a dedicated page for it. Will give it a try, thanks.

I can't see any downsides. I've switched recently from an *arr stack to Stremio and can't be happier. Even with all the automation, I found it annoying that I first had to download something before I could watch it, after which Bazarr had to download subtitles (which only happens every couple of hours) and Kodi had to be updated before it was visible there. And downloading obvious requires storage.

Stremio also works across devices which is awesome. I bookmark shows on the go and watch it in the evening on my CCWGTV.

We've already noticed that we enjoy watching media more.

you don’t want to do that without a VPN.

It depends on the country. Here in NZ it's not a problem to torrent, they're not actively going after pirates. This may change of course.

If you just want to stream, get an Android box / Google TV with Stremio + Realdebrid. No storage needed, no *arr, no torrents, no VPN, just easy as.

TIL buses have a "no child left behind" alarm.
