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.

It's in the testing repo right now, but I'd expect it in the main repo pretty soon. End of the week, give or take.

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.

grml-zsh-config is its name, and it's always one of the first things I install on a fresh system. I'll never understand why it isn't the default.

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.

If you're only trying to use Jellyfin at home, you don't need any reverse proxy or domain. All you need is for both devices to be on the same network, and for the Raspberry Pi to have a fixed internal IP address (through your router settings).

On the Shield, you just give the Jellyfin app that IP address and port number (10.0.0.X:8096) to connect and you're good to go.

You don't even need to purchase a domain, free dynDNS services (DuckDNS or similar) are good enough for Jellyfin and the like.

For a NAS, you're usually concerned with capacity first. And you can't buy a 20TB m2.
