Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Is *arr stack a real Netflix replacement?English
6·16 days agoI interpreted their question differently. It sounds like they’re taking about Radarr having to download a movie before they can watch it, whereas streaming services have a “complete” (compared to a new *arr setup) library available to stream instantly.
Some bittorrent clients can start playing a video before it’s done downloading, and prioritize the torrent chunks in the right order so there aren’t any interruptions as long as there are seeders and you have enough bandwidth. But I don’t think plex or jellyfin can do it, and I don’t know of any alternatives that can.

News@lemmy.world•Four dead and three receive liver transplants after eating death cap mushrooms in California
1·2 months agoPeople should really look into growing the less common varieties at home. You can get supplies and spores or cultures from reputable companies so you don’t have to worry about identifying them yourself. You can’t grow all varieties easily at home, but you can grow more than you can buy at the store.
