Ah. No, this is great info, thank you for laying it all out. On my own, I'd gotten as far as contemplating installing sabnzbd and then buying some gigs from usenetgroupsdirect but the idea of also paying for an indexer was kind of throwing me. I'm already on a budget so not really in this to spend money, if you know what I mean. Mostly, I was just exploring down this path to automate lidarr and readarr, but it sounds like doing so for free is out of the question. Guess I'll probably stick to manually using soulseek and irc for music and books when needed. Thank you again, this was very helpful!
Glad I could explain somethings for ya. For me I have never really had to pay for the hardware I am using because I am the one with the keys to the IT graveyard at work. Its why I can spend a little on extra things like usenet access. I also setup access for my friends via ombi so they can just go in there and select shows they want to see and all I gotta do is approve them in a discord channel for download. Check it out because its nice for personal use too and integrates well with jellyfin.
I was contemplating maybe setting up my friends and family with jellyfin boxes for the holidays next, er this, year (2024), so maybe the nzb stuff will be more viable when there's more of us. Especially with everyone cracking down on the login sharing lately. Either way, useful to know.

lmao, been there! Unfortunately my IT graveyard is ebay nowadays. Not quite as thrifty, plus they don't pay me.
Ombi sounds interesting, thanks! Similar to Overseerr/Jellyseerr, I think?
