As soon as Jellyfin allows downloads for offline viewing, I’m jumping ship.

Not that I’m some kind of UPS expert, but I’ve never found a UPS that NUT wasn’t compatible with.

Love Lowend. Just grabbed this deal from massiveGRID. Never heard of them, but I took a chance;

4 Shared Intel Xeon CPU vCores
8 RAM DDR4 ECC Registered (GB)
256 Primary High Availability SSD Storage (GB)
20 TB Guaranteed Internet Traffic
1 IP Addresses

I paid $141.28 for 3 years, and replied on their forum post for Lowend and they added 1 extra year of service for free, and activated lifetime pricing. So it works out to be about $2.95/mo which is a damn great price. The only real drawbacks are the network is 1 Gbps shared** and no IPv6 (they’re adding it over the next several weeks looks like).

So not absolutely mindblowing, but you seem to get the full 1 Gbps, which is great. I contacted support and they’ll be offering VDS plans soon with access to higher than 1 Gbps speeds. Super happy so far.

Because Bluesky keeps to what made Twitter popular in the first place. The UX. You make a post and its syndicated to a federated feed that anyone can search for, and you can tag content using hashtags.

It’s a great concept. There’s a reason a lot of people use it.

Oh, damn. Not much you can do then. You may be eventually be able to get something outrageously complicated to work, but honestly it’s just plain not worth it. Just get a cheap VPS.

Best you could do is a forward server with tailscale and a reverse_proxy, but I’ve never had any real luck getting that type of setup to work reliably.

I don’t see how it’s particularly hard? Could set it up in an afternoon and have a forward thinking infrastructure from then onward that can vertically scale.

my current ISP refuses to provide me a static IP

So then use dynamic dns? HurricaneElectric offers DynDNS now and it’s great. You can update it right over curl if you want. I have it mapped to a cli function;

$29.6 billion (2023). $1,217 GDP per capita. So about 5.01% of it’s GDP.

However, I also read about unbound in the Pi-Hole guides. I was curious if this was to prefer over cloudflared?

Many people advocate for Cloudflared as a tunneling solution, but it’s not a one-size-fits-all tool. Personally, I avoid it. Your VPS already functions as a firewall for your connection. Using Tailscale is also self-host and avoids reliance on third-party services like Cloudflare while maintaining security and the same functionality.

For DNS privacy, I prefer odoh-proxy, which enables your VPS to act as an oDoH (Oblivious DNS over HTTPS) proxy for the cloudflare network. While oDoH introduces a slight latency increase, it significantly enhances privacy by decoupling query origins from content, making it a more secure option for DNS resolution. So you would be able to set your DoH resolver to your domain (https://dns.whatever.com/dns-query) and it would forward the request to cloudflare for resolution, and then back again.

As for Pi-Hole, its utility has diminished with the modern alternatives like serverless-dns. It allows you to deploy RethinkDNS resolver servers on free platforms, handling 99% of security concerns out-of-the-box. The trade-off is a loss of full custody over your DNS infrastructure, which may matter to some users but is less critical for general use cases.

Lastly, using consumer VPNs like Mullvad to proxy connections often introduces unnecessary complexity without meaningful security gains. While VPNs have their place they can really overcomplicate setups like this and rarely provide substantial privacy benefits for services like DNS.

So that would be a limitation of whichever filesystem you use. I’ve not personally done it, but this reddit user uses a CEPH cluster to be able to hotplug storage into a volume. But doing just that gives you no redundancy, so you would have to do a little research into how to set it up in whichever way would be best for you, but it looks like using the CEPH cluster is what you’re looking for.

The year of the Linux desktop has arrived.

I assume people are shitting on it because it’s fake?

lmao no it’s not… They literally post the link to the Github: https://github.com/PennyroyalTea/gibberlink

You can even test their data-to-sound module (ggwave) here: https://waver.ggerganov.com/

At least it looks fake to me as the sounds they’re making seem the same each time.

In a lot of respects Lemmy is worse than Reddit. Jesus. The technology is designed for it to be imperceptible to humans (as such, you can even use high frequency sound that can barely be heard), because it’s not meant for us to hear or understand… So it’s not weird that it sounds the same to you. But it’s not.

There are a lot of crypto which increase workfactor PoW to combat spam. Nano is one of them, so it’s a pretty proven technology, too.

The easiest solution would be to wipe Windows and replace it with Proxmox–which is an actual server solution. Then using Proxmox you can setup your other services from within Proxmox using docker or LXC containers.

There’s no real need to get crazy with it. From there everything is controlled by Proxmox via containers. You can easily setup Jellyfin/Plex, *arr stack, HomeAssistant, Frigate, and even your NAS. You can then import your configurations and for your NAS (using TrueNAS or whichever you’d like–Proxmox comes with its own NAS solutions) you’d be able to expose it to your existing shares. It comes with the advantage of a forward moving server setup that’s not “future proof” but future resistant. Proxmox is an actively developed and excellent server architecture. Although not officially, it can even expose your GPU to your containers so transcoding with Jellyfin/Plex should work just fine.

Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC and/or Windows 10 IoT LTSC end of life: 2032.

We good.

You can safely use Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC or Windows 10 IoT LTSC perfectly safely until 2032–as that’s when the LTSC will stop receiving updates.

But the versions will always work. They simply won’t be protected against new threats or bugs.

This is the most realistic solution. Adding a 0.5/1s PoW to hosted services isn’t gonna be a big deal for the end user, but offers a tiny bit of protection against bots, especially if the work factor is variable and escalates.

Pretty cool, actually. Opens up a lot of possibilities for non-human appointment making, etc.

Not sure why people here are shitting on this. This technology isn’t going anywhere because it saves companies money. Might as well develop a system that interfaces with it directly to save everyone tons of time.

I guess it depends on when you last used it. I opt for the CLI approach, but Jellyfin can install a plugin which allows (on library scan) to extract internal subtitles, which fixes 90% of issues with subtitle display for devices like Chromecasts.

Jellyfin also integrates with OpenSubstiles: https://i.xno.dev/gVee6.png

Crazy how that doesn’t at all even address the problem of subtitle sync!

As I said, this isn’t even an issue with Jellyfin. It’s an issue with the device that’s playing the media–your television (or chromecast). This workaround makes an exact copy of the internal subs, and dumps them to an SRT which allows your television (or chromecast) to play the internal subtitles as external subtitles…

It has nothing to do with subsync, it’s not syncing subs. There are no “mistakes” because you’re pulling the internal subs exactly as they are internally, externally…
