Actually it’s a great program for those that want to save time.

Thanks! 
This is the kind of application I have been looking for since the past few weeks.
Great! It’s pretty easy to set up, and the ability to mount the tags as a directory is super cool. You’ll probably want to alias the main commands though, as they’re a little cumbersome out of the box.

I recommend against using any system “cleaner”. There is nothing to clean on a Linux system. Usually, these programs delete important log files and thing like that, which can make it difficult to repair the system later if something goes wrong. There is no benefit to using a tool like that, the disk space you save is negligible.

You are entitled to your opinion, but it is completely incorrect in regards to Stacer. Stacer DOES work great for cleaning anywhere from 250 megs to over 1 gig in space is not negligible of junk that is not in use and just has not been removed by the system. This is not BleachBit by any stretch of the imagination. Telling peeps there is nothing to clean in Linux is misinformation. Now that said lets get this thread back on topic and not make it a Stacer bashing thread. Thanks

Cleaners you always with care as baseline offcourse… 
even linux does not have a registry, but linux does stil has dconf/gconf stuf…and old .config’s if you installed a program and removed, when system gold old and dusty sometimes old configs can create errors of you install later a programm that is updated
just use it with care

As long as users understand what is being removed there is no issue, it automates what would be tedious and time consuming to do manually.
I use bleachbit daily for application clean up stuff … like Firefox.

I don’t know if the world of vim plugins is too obscure/specific for this thread, but I’d like to give a shout-out to vim-outlaw, an outliner that I’ve really come to rely on. I’m a weirdo in that I use vim primarily for academic writing and prepping lectures rather than coding, and that involves making a lot of outlines. When I first installed outlaw I didn’t quite get it; it seemed a little too basic, and I didn’t think I’d really use it much. Over time. though, I’ve come to be totally reliant on it, precisely because what I first thought made it too basic in fact makes it incredibly flexible, and in a totally vim way. Anyhoo, if you use vim and need a freeform outliner, this is the one IMO.

I love the Joplin note-taking and reminder app, which uses markdown. It has a good configurable interface. There are probably better options, but this one works really well for me and I sync it with my phone (encrypted) via Nextcloud.

Rename My TV Series is a great alternative to Filebot. Any one that is interested scroll down to the beta towards the bottom of the page. The creator is a great guy that keeps on top of things.
DuckieTV I let it explain itself.

Thank you for this! 
I have a similiar app on my phone but it is not really very good, pops up adds that want me to pay for the premium…all the time. I have waited for something like this for the desktop.
Since it doesn’t seem to be in AUR yet, I had to convert the .deb to an Arch install (debtap) and use pamac to install it. Works perfectly.

sxiv: a very light simple pictures viewer you start up from command line. So, if you have a bunch of pics in some folder, you can just do sxiv ./ and it will put them up in a window and you can use arrow keys to scroll. q to quit. Very light, and comes in handy a lot when you didn’t expect to parse through pics.

pdfcrop
really useful for those who like to print pdfs w/o the annoyingly large margins. Super easy to use: pdfcrop --margins 1 is all you do. Works very well. Saves trees b/c w/ no margins, you can then use pdfjam to 2-nup it and print half the pages. I’m enviro friendly (its on my profile :-)) you see

Sounds similar to feh. How do they compare?
your post helped me in that I didn’t know about debtap.
so I’d add debtap to to list of lesser known programs.
Converts .deb packages to arch packages. Useful for packages not present in official nor AUR repos. It sometimes requires a bit of tinkering with the .PKINFO and .INSTALL files as not every conversion works straight out of the box.

@RodneyCK btw, how do you uninstall a package made with this tool ?
Edit: it seems you can uninstall it with pamac. For that matter you can uninstall it with pacman too, but you have to know the package name.

There is no reason to use the .deb file and convert it using Debtap for use in Arch. You could of simply downloaded the DuckieTV-1.1.5-linux-x64.tar.gz, extracted it, opened the folder, and read the readme for installing. Also if you do use it make sure you’re behind a VPN. I use the Browser-action-mode version with a VPN in the browser.

This is pretty similar to Sonarr, which I use. Though I have Sonarr auto-downloading via Usenet, which is so much nicer than torrents, especially if you have a fat internet pipe. I use sonarr via a LinuxServer docker container combined with Sabnzbd.
If anyone’s interested in it, I’m happy to help you set it up because I know Usenet is confusing if you’ve never dealt with it before.

I love debtap. I have one developer at work who uses Arch, and debtap has been SOOOOOOOOOO useful for having him install our required software (Falcon Sensor, KACE agent, etc).
I’ve been considering your setup with the exception of sabnzbd which I know nothing about, so yes I for one would most definitely be interested in learning to set it up. I would suggest a new thread in the Lounge so as not to hijack this thread.
Now that said FreeFileSync is another great program I use every 3 or 4 days to backup the user folders from my browsers and do a master backup of my storage partitions and drives.
