    My family has learned not to ask questions, just tell me the name of the movie or TV show in signal, and Ill let you know when its on plex.

    I know they dont understand. I see their glassy eyes staring past me if the compel me to explain. ‘But who puts it there, and what motivates them?’ they ask. They do not see the irrationally of their line of inquiry.

    But they have learned now. No questions, no complaints, just leave me a muffin when I’ve done a good job.

      I set up ombi for requests, linked it into all the *arr’s and automated it to hell.

      I log in, click a button to approve it, let the system work for a bit and the system updates me by web hook to say it’s done, as it’s publishing the content on Plex.

      It all sits behind a pfsense system running a VPN service. So everything is automatic.

      It’s barely an inconvenience.
