Realized my family was spending more than $200/mo on streaming and other media sources. Been a while, but I’m sailing the high seas again. Ethically, I agree with “Piracy.” Fuck Disney with a cactus. Functionally, it’s a service problem for me.
Currently running Readarr, Calibre, Sabnzbd, Qbittorrent. Have Drunkenslug, NZBgeek, 1337x, TPB as indexers.
My results aren’t great for books. Lot of titles aren’t automatically found. Readarr and Calibre integration is janky. My indexers don’t have a lot of titles.
I can manually search on Anna’s Archive or Libgen and find what I want. However, for the rest of my family to really use it, it needs to be easy like the rest of my setup.
Lazylibrarian?
Can someone please recommend a toolchain for automated book grabbing?
I don’t mind spending a few bucks a month/year for quality and ease of use.
I would be interested in an invite if you have an extra.
If you don’t end up getting one, you can join yourself very easily.
You just have to pass a simple interview that basically exists to make sure you have read the (fairly simple) rules.
Seconding this. It’s a great community. https://www.myanonamouse.net/inviteapp.php has the timeframe when they’re doing new member interviews. You’ll hop on their irc channel and queue up, someone will get to you eventually and confirm that you know the rules and understand how torrents work, then you’ll be in business. The ratios might seem a smidge intimidating at first but you get points for seeding even if no one is downloading, so just leave all your torrents open and you’ll pretty quickly end up with more points than you know what to do with.
Oh cool! That seems straightforward.
