  • I don’t know. You wouldn’t really need it, if you’re concerned. If you’re fine you can just C&P or even let keepassxc use it’s auto-type. So no addon needed. It’s just more comfortable. And you can never have security AND comfort. Security is absolutely always uncomfortable.


  • Even IF there was a quantum-safe-cryptography, doesn’t change the fact, that your most private stuff is in a cloud and you have absolutely no idea what the future might bring. And if i have anything in the past decades in the IT, then it’s that there is always a past-past-something.









  • As you’re obviously no american, you also know that even if you’d pay netflix (for the FULL price i might add) you only get a fraction of what they got and not a penny discount for it. Sorry, but no. If you want my money, OFFER ME SOMETHING. Or discount me. That is just robbery.

    So, you at least need a server for the whole work. A pi could do it, although you might not expect stellar performance off of it, but it would get the job done I assume. Except maybe live transcoding if that’s necessary (like watching 4k uhd content on a 720p phone or so).

    So min-spec would be the combined min-spec for all services. As they probably also run on linux (i use win-20xx-server) it really should do.

    You’d need:

    • The **nars you’d want (radarr=movies, sonarr=series, bazarr=subs, lidarr=music etc. and there’s even one for porn lol)
    • a downloader, either usenet (prefered for speed and comfyness) or torrent. So SabNZBd or qtorrent or whatever
    • If usenet, then you’d need a usenet-account (use one with the highest retention (backlog) like eweka.nl (if you wait for black friday or so, they usually have BIG discounts) and probably an indexer (the search-engine kinda). Like 10 bucks a year if you pay only yearly or like 30 lifetime, depends on service. I’d advise for nzbgeek, they’re cheap and nearly 100% net a result. You could also go for free ones, but they’re always very limited. Probably more than enough for 1-2 movies a week or so. sucks if you want a series with 400 episodes :-)

    And of couse:

    • a media-server. Like Plex or Emby. I personally love emby, i even pay them just because (and for some minor benefits). You could also go for the free jellyfin, but it’s more hassle to setup and i didn’t get it to work reliably (and i’m a fucking pro)

    Maybe, if you want to access everything from the outside and don’t want that machine to be totally exposed:

    • some (reverse)proxy like nginx or caddy. I Prefer caddy, it’s fire&forget like all others mentioned here. Once setup though.

    I admit, it’s a bit of tinkering and configuring, but once it’s working it’s fine. The *narrs auto-update reliably, emby does too. Occasionally you might manually update sabnzb and restart emby after an update, but that’s it.

    I even integrated everything with telegram so I get notifications when someone added/moved/deleted something or stopped playing or whatever else. completely smart-home-integrated too.
