Oh man. That looks fabulous. I may have to give it a go some time. Can't do it tomorrow, but one day soon....

I'm with you. Maybe it's because I've never had truly good homemade stuffing? It's always a weird, damp, spongy mess. But that box of Stove Top, ready in minutes? I'll eat the whole thing by myself. It's also great to have an extra box to go with the leftovers, especially for the sandwiches.

Just a cheap and reliable bucket to rsync my local backups to. I'm leaning toward Hetzner, but was checking out filen after your suggestion, too.

An over-complicated solution I was tossing around with some friends was to set up a cheap NAS at our respective homes, and just rsync to one another. Then we can just sneakernet the drives if we need a recovery.

I'm in the same boat, actually. I'm hosting at home, but want to set up off-site backups, and am looking for something cheap and reliable.

As for the actual process, rsync is probably the best method. I just need to find a good host

I know you can register a google account with an external/non-gmail account. However, you can't transfer the workplace accounts, or reassign them to other things. Once you close your workspace account/subscription, they're vapor.

If there's a way to do it, that would be fabulous, of course!

honestly it’s baffling that I’ve spent 30 years on the internet and can understand so little of it

100% agree.

Honestly, I had to google it, too :D

As far as I know, they mean "Personal Video Recorder" in a fashion similar to "DVR"/"Digital Video Recorder" like the one your cable company provides. It's a little misleading, imo, because it doesn't do any recording, but I didn't come up with the name, so who knows.

Sonarr (and the other 'arrs) is just a management tool. From the servarr wiki:

Sonarr is a PVR for Usenet and BitTorrent users. It can monitor multiple RSS feeds for new episodes of your favorite shows and will grab, sort and rename them. It can also be configured to automatically upgrade the quality of files already downloaded when a better quality format becomes available.

At a high level, you tell it where your current tv show episodes are saved, and add new shows as you want. It then automates the process of searching and downloading. But you still need to have an indexer and download client. If you're not able to find shows searching your current tracker/indexer, Sonarr won't have any better luck.

Finding a good source of the media you want is the most important part. If you're not comfortable with installing and managing your own server applications, the *arr stack could be overwhelming at first. The wiki I linked has a lot of good information to get you started.

Unfortunately, that's not an option. I'm going to continue using the same email address, and I don't want to continue spending the $30ish a month for services and storage I'm no longer using.

Twenty years later, I still sing this.

And I still wonder what happened to fhqwhgads.

Worked for me, too. Thanks friendly stranger :)
