    I’m conversationally “sure”. I’m not asserting this is incontrovertible fact.

    Basically, nothing ever goes as well as you think it will go - at least not in war. But let me rephrase to see if it helps: “While I’m sure not everything is going as Iran planned, I suspect they’re doing much better than if you compare how the US thought it would go vs. how it’s actually going for the US.” I hope that helps explain.

    But as to what I base this on? The fact that Iran is not talking ceasefire, that they’re still able to attack, and that from the stated goals we’re aware of, they seem to be accomplishing multiple of them.

    Contrast that with the general impression one has of the US going in and basically expecting to “shock and awe”. I don’t think Iran is either shocked nor are they awed.






  • I’ve tried to set various of these apps up in the past - I used to do tech support; I am a geek - and for whatever reason, I could never get all the parts working right. I assume many people can since they’re popular, but it just never clicked for me.

    But I have a pretty good workflow - a seedbox running rutorrent which allows me to send magnet links to it just clicking them in Firefox, with emby installed so I can stream from the box - or easily connect via FTP to download when I prefer.

    That’s the nice thing - there’s a number of ways to accomplish the goal, so finding the one that works well for you is what’s important.

    That said, I don’t remember which ones these are, but I think it began with “Sonarr” to download music and the various somewhat-similarly named projects are about finding and downloading various forms of media automatically based on rules or searches or keywords or whatever. Which is nicer than my system of reminders that stuff should drop and I should go look for a torrent for it. :)
