Fighting temptations

It is so easy to think buying more storage space will ease my growing pains. I am running out of space since trying out Usenet and the Arr media automation suite. The automation aspect is new to me when I am familiar with hand picking a torrent.

I need to first try a few things before expanding my storage resources.

• tdarr: standardize my library
• autopurge: set rules to automate pruning my library.
  • daily shows like Late Night with Seth Meyers needs a “if watched, delete” or “if older than 7 days, delete”
  • documentaries, musicals, comic specials… that delete after marked watched
  • capabilities of excluding explicit content eg a documentary I want to rewatch
  • able to hold polls for regular libraries for deletion, triggered manually or based on data “age of file and or numbers of playback”
• set better sonarr, radarr rules for its automated searches.

A draft…
