I think it's a bit unfair too, buddy. Usenet with the *arr stack and Jellyfin is such a great experience with all that automation, once you've got it all setup. Mine's setup to preference H265 and 5.1 channel audio, and specific resolution/quality. I mean, yeah you can access much the same content completely for free using torrents instead, but it feels like going back to the steam age now to do it all manually.
You can automate the same way with torrents, can’t you? I mean, you can even use indexers of both types at the same time.
Yeah, you can integrate torrents into the stack, afaik. But due to some technical considerations I don't like to run a VPN on my media server, and in my country you definitely need one for torrents.
Getting into the weeds a bit here lol. I do use a VPN on my personal PC, but on the media server where I have my *arr stack, I've found that using a VPN, even with split tunneling configured, allows certain TV websites to detect I'm using a VPN and block streaming content. If I wasn't using a DNS proxy, or if I ran the stack on a separate server, it probably wouldn't be an issue, but I'm not so it is :p. I'll add that if I am using only Usenet then I prefer not to run a VPN since it's reasonably safe IMO to raw dog that content, since a VPN always has some overhead involved in terms of bandwidth and latency.
That's a good suggestion, I just haven't had the motivation to get that setup yet since Usenet currently meets my needs. But I'm sure it would work, yes.
Gluetun works great for this. It's a VPN docker container that you can route other containers' network connections through. Super lightweight and fast
Idk if you tried this, but I run all my stuff on docker and put specific things through gluetun (arrs and qbit).
