How good is software like radarr/sonarr/etc? I’m not super familiar with them but they sound kinda like trackers of trackers, and somehow are developed in the open on GitHub so I feel like they should be fairly trustworthy.

It's usable. Was a learning curve, and though it's been awhile it seems like I spent more time getting it configured than it should have taken.

They're like 5 steps down the "contributory infringement" hierarchy. Though that probably wouldn't help them in sued, because the punishment for facing a lawsuit comes as soon as it is filed, rather than after judgement.
I've slowly over the years lost whatever toehold I had on private trackers, but even when I had that it was just impossible to expand it. Until this last year whenever it was, I was happy enough with Rarbg. The night before it dying, I remember thinking to myself "I am so fucked if they go out". I think I might have been the one that jinxed it.

Yeh, that policy's not great. It's only 50/50 that they do that so they can snitch on you if they get raided.
