On Android, I didn’t find any apps that let you filter blocklists and using your own VPN other than Rethink, but the blocklists feature requires using Rethink’s DNS.
You probably missed it but you can totally use rethink’s block list without rethink’s DNS (system DNS or Wireguard).
It’s called On-device blocklist
Now that I know a bit more about security and obfuscation I rather not use any pirated games/software anymore. If they know how to crack/reverse engineer some complicated stuff, you can be sure they add some shady stuff in it.
They need somehow a way to earn there living expanses ? It’s a service we think it’s free but nothing comes without a counterpart.
There is always going to be a divide between people who have done restaurant closings and those that haven’t.
Naah every service that expects that “the client is king” philosophie have sentiment for all kind of people working in the same area.
I mean, I did retail jobs a few years ago, and still today when I go shopping or at restaurants or any other service, I always chose my time accordinlgy to not bother them to much… Because I know how people can be stupid assholes…
But from time to time you get some chill lovely creatures and that always brightened my day ☀️
I don’t mind if my server is going to have to transcode for most clients
I mean AV1 is very well supported on most clients/new devices these days. While I do not know any good groups that only encodes in AV1, I personally download high quality BD rips and re-encode them to SVT-AV1 without any visual quality loss (for my personal taste and perspective).
I’m not an audiophile or videophile and do not have the necessary devices to decode high end 1080p nor 4k video streams.
About AV1 I think only iOS devices do not have a native software/hardware AV1 decoder (I migh be wrong here).
As for your question, I wish there were more encoders that do AV1 :/
Soo nya.sii is going down soon… Uuhg !
Like others said the arr stack is probably what you’re looking for. If you’re only looking to rename files sonarr will fill you in ! Look at the documentation, I only use sonarr to rename my local files !
Other thing to consider, is this cool github project TVMV which also renames the files but you need to register to create an API key from TMDB (its free and you can fill in dummy informations). But it’s less customizable. I’m only using it to rename files if their name is in a different language than English.
About metadata, I don’t know if there’s a bulk and recursive metadata editor and dunno if sonarr fills in the gap. However, mkvtool and bash scripting is probably going to be your tools here.
How I would go about it:
There’s probably a better way to stripe metadata from sites like tvdb but I’m not a dev so it’s totally out of my scope and knowledge.
KISS ! That’s the way I’m doing it. Although it kinda gets more difficult to keep track of every docker image update after you have a dozen containers.
Thinking of something that could keep track and give me a nice notification about the changes and give a link to the github page before updating the container.
Nextcloud and syncthing a 2 different things. While synching keeps your files synchronized between your devices, nextcloud is a cloud platforme which gives you access to your files on your server. The difference is actually very important even though a lot would argue that they are the same.
It really depends what type of technology you want/need. I would recommended syncthing for it’s simplicity and robustness. It only does one thing but it does it very well !!
To give you an example, I have a syncthing sever which is a middleman for my Zotero database. Laptop <-> Server (syncthing) <-> desktop. It’s very important to keep it in sync for the integrity of the zotero database !
This kind of workflow wouldn’t work with nextcloud or rather will most of the time corrupt my database.
Nextcloud works as a simple cloud platforme wich is also great (with it’s up and downs) but works only as a cloud platforme to keep your files on your server.
That’s a nice workflow :) except for KOReader, I do the same combo Miniflux + wallabage + linkding.
Wallabag + miniflux for articles to read and Linkding for important stuff (mostly github stuff).
What’s cool about that workflow it can be automatically send through each other with their API.
Hey :) would you kindly share your tagging methodology? It’s the second time I nuke my linkding docker istance, because everytime it gets so messy that I lose sight of my bookmarks ://
Thank you 👐
Linkding is great ! I love it ! With the new local copy as html file thats a banger !!
Except one thing I hate about it… It can get really messy quickly If you don’t overthink your tags… This can get time consuming in the long run !
Not OP, but thanks for the write up !
Regarding macvlan’s with docker, I tried to use them in the past and while I liked the idea of having every container on it’s own mac /ip address in the home network space, I couldn’t get the host to communicate directly with them.
Everyone on the LAN could talk to my containers, except the host itself. IIRC there was/is some tricky part where you have to change the default route and create new iptables to make it work that way, but It seemed rather hacky and not secure at all.
Now that I’m a bit more experienced with docker and all, do you know if this is possible or still one of the downside of macvlan’s?
Edit: reference. I see he updated his post in 2023, maybe worth a new shot !!
You’re right, but only if you are an experienced IT guy in enteprise environnement. Most users (myself included) on Lemmy do not have the necessary skills/hardware to properly configure and protect their networking system, thats way I consider something like wireguard way more secure than opening an SSH port.
Sure SSH key based configuration is also doing a great job but there is way more error prone configuration with an SSH connection than a wireguard tunnel.
Opening ports on your router is never safe ! There’re alot of bots trying to bruteforce opening ports on the web (specially ssh port 22)
With SSH I would disable the password authentication a only used key based authentication. Also disable root access. (Don’t know how it works with forgero though)
I would recommend something like wireguard, you still need to open a port on your router, but as long as they don’t have your private key, they can’t bruteforce it. (You can even share the wireguard tunnel with your friend :))
Also use a reverse proxy with your docker containers.
There are a lot of things you could do to secure everything, but If you relatively new to selfhosting, there’s a steep learning curve and a lot of time needed to properly secure everthing up. You could be safe by doing nothing for a few months but as soon as someone got into your system, you’re fucked !
But don’t discourage yourself, selfhosting is fun !
If you’re into selfhosting there is an alternative self-hosted Wayback machine.
Or you can use something like wallabag
And there is also a Firefox extension that let’s your download a whole web site as a single html file .
Finally, there’s Linkding who recently add local copy of your bookmarks.
The proxy is also susceptible to application-level threats that the VPN is not.
You sure about that? I mean, to use a VPN your need some kind of application that could potentially be vulnerable or have some zero day exploits.
In contrary, a proxy is as simple as to forward your traffic to another computer through a SSH tunnel which doesn’t specially need some kind of application but only relies on lower level package.
Maybe I misunderstood your comment but If I’m wrong I’m agear to learn something new.
You still need someone else’s computer. Making a cloudflare proxie or other cloud platform is useless and not secure, specially if you’re torrenting or trying to hide your IP.
I’m pratically sure they even block the torrent protocol and do not allow port forwarding on most cloud VPS.
Yeah proxies are great, but only if you have somewhere to route your traffic.
Recent qbitorrent update supports cross sharing between public/i2p users.
But people have to enable the option, most public trackers aren’t aware off and most private trackers are not into sharing their well builded closed piracy club money making scheme
Maybe syncthing could fit your flow? OMV syncthing.
I have no idea if it works or if that’s something you would implement, but syncthing is pretty good :).
I use it to sync my encrypted backups between my devices (even my phone has my server backups). Never had any issue !
Thanks for the info ! I mostly download my applications directly from the source with Obtainium.
However I didn’t notice any bugs with wireguard recently. The 0.5.5n seems rather stable to me :).
Glad you found it ! Hope it fill in the gaps you needed with RethinkDNS which is IMO rather complex and overall very customizable !
