Like I said before it's about control. A lot of us want to be able to control what we want to watch, the specific release groups and source of the content we watch. I'm not saying it's necessarily better than what you do. You have a 128tb media server and you're obviously a lot more invested into this whole thing than I am but I prefer to control my content.
Maybe for you, but that's not how it is for a lot of other people. Some of us prefer to control what releases we grab instead of blindly passing it off to what is essentially a glorified RSS reader (when you don't set up rules)
See if you can find a way into TorrentLeech, FileList, IPTorrents (probably the easiest). General trackers are pretty good, well-seeded (especially FileList). TL is the best place for scene, and you'll find it useful for games as well
Sonarr only downloads media according to the the rules you give it. If you don't give it any rules, it will just grab whatever immediately matches the quality profile (1080p, 2160p, etc)
What you can do is follow the trash-guides. Those will give you an updated list of decent groups, and if you use them with notifiarr/recylarr, the profiles on sonarr/radarr will also auto-update along with changes in the guides
Lol, I went onto your page, saw that it was at 99%, subscribed at 1eu monthly and when I checked again it was at 100%
Wefwef works with any instance. You just have to select Other and then enter the domain of the instance
I only really need Microsoft Office and Adobe Acrobat Pro for most of my needs. Other software is either FOSS or Free
MS Office and Windows are activated using MAS and m0nkrus (may he be blessed) provides my Adobe software.
If I'm being honest, I can see myself switching pretty quickly. I'm still pretty new to all this Fediverse stuff and changes happen all the time.
The main thing that irks me about Lemmy right now is the UI and the latency. I've used Jerboa, and now I'm using Liftoff and I'm really not a fan of the UI. I was a Boost for Reddit user, so if Boost was somehow reworked for Lemmy, I'd be more than happy to use it (I'm not trying to demand this, just saying that's what I'd like to see in apps).
The other issue is latency. The dbzer0 instance is already pretty damn slow for me, but even lemmy.world takes so long for loading comments and posting is the most annoying.
Beautiful
You would still need a server to host your Plex. Usenet is just the source of your files. You would use a downloader like SABnzbd to download and unpack your files. You can then point Plex to those files if you wanna access them on your Plex.
The only thing that changes when you switch from torrent to usenet is how the files are downloaded. The same way you can torrent at home, you can also download from usenet at home. It's just that if you have a server, you can offload all the downloading and unpacking to the server, and you can also use Plex to share it with your friends, etc.
I guess this will vary across clients but I've used Voyager (formerly known as wefwef) till Boost for Lemmy came out. It's funny because, on Voyager I would love that this bot exists cus the normal https hyperlinks wouldn't work directly on Voyager, it would just open up an external browser tab and only the link posted by the bot would open in the app itself
Meanwhile on Boost for Lemmy, the normal https links work just fine, directly pointing to the community in the app itself, but the one posted by the bot doesn't work at all (it's not even hyperlinked)
