Oh well. Who’d ya vote for?

We didn’t inhale, so it’s not illegal for us. ~ZuckFuck

Email is like, the worst possible option. Check out Apprise. Super easy to setup Telegram or Discord notifications via webhooks. Takes like a minute.

Yes.

“I’ve done enough damage. It’s time for me to step aside so someone else can continue my legacy.”

If you need a tutorial on how to install pen-testing tools, it’s probably best you just don’t install them…

Seems to be, yes.

Considering Congress has a 94% reelection rate, abso-fucking-litely they do.

They spent hundreds of millions setting up the program and it’s projected to funnel $15 billion annually into the MTA. But sure, they’ll, totally just put everything down and walk away because the President says he no longer approves. lol.

Forgejo. ♥

Github uses its own proprietary platform which it resells, Github Enterprise.

Gitlab uses a FOSS alternative engine, but IMO it’s super heavy for 90% of use cases.

Forgejo checks all the right boxes. Lightweight. FOSS. Still not convinced? Check out Gitea.

Now to guess which ones will still be maintained in 5 years 😆

If you figure it out, lemme know. lol

Here ya go: https://selfh.st/apps/

Will cover about 90% of your bases there. You can even look up proprietary software and it will show you self-hostable alternatives.

My goto would be wireguard, is that still a good option?

Yes.

Private cloud/File server

Is a local video streaming app actually useful for a rare watcher of movies etc, or can they be streamed directly from the file server?

You can do it any number of ways. I have it setup a pretty cool way, I think. I leave my PC on all the time. I also have a home NAS with all my media files on it. I host Jellyfin server on my PC and in the Jellyfin settings link to the network location of the files (\\nas\media\tv, etc). Works great, especially for transcoding because I run the server on my Windows PC, it gets access to my GPU for transcoding. Really great setup I like to think. Only drawback being you have to leave your PC on all the time, which doesn’t bother me.

Is Docker the way to go for everything? or just install on the machine directly?

There are alternatives to docker, like LXC but they’re not as widely used as Docker. So unfortunately…

Another option for you could be Hyper-V if you don’t mind using your PC to run containers. I like it better than running docker containers.

12ft.io usually works for me.

You’re not having issues because it’s very likely it’s limited by your ISP regardless. There’s simply no way a consumer ISP (or VPN) is allowing 1200 simultaneous UDP connections. So you could likely set it to a million and have no issues. Because you’re being limited to ~250-500 at the protocol level by your ISP/VPN. lol

Situations like this, torrent priority is even more important because there’s a high likelihood you’re not able to connect to peers you otherwise would be able to if you were using priorities…

Matching 500 episodes (e.g. Looney Tunes and Disney shorts) manually isnt fun.

With tools like TinyMediaManager, why in the absolute fuck would you do it manually?

At this point, it sounds like you’re just bad at media management more than anything. 1080p h265 video is at most between 1.5-2GB per video. That means with even a modest network connection speed (500Mbps lets say) you can realistically download 5TB of data over 24 hours… You can redownload your entire media library in less than 4-5 days if you wanted to.

So why spend ~$700 on 2 20TB drives, one to be used only as redundancy, when you can simply redownload everything you previously had (if you wanted to) for free? It’ll just take a little bit of time.

Complete waste of money.

You can stream your primary sound driver via icecast and then on another machine use ffmpeg to record it? ffmpeg -i http://server:port -c copy output.mp3.

I dunno. This all seems super roundabout.

You’re looking for QubesOS.

Qubes OS is a free and open-source, security-oriented operating system for single-user desktop computing. Qubes OS leverages Xen-based virtualization to allow for the creation and management of isolated compartments called qubes.

Everything runs in its own sandbox called a “qube.” Read more.

$89. The alternatives are $180+, so this is about as good as you’re going to get unless you go second hand, and most of the time second hand is more expensive than new because people want to recoup the costs as much as possible without actually thinking about what a fair price is.

Do you have it installed via flatpack/snap? IIRC flatpack/snap doesn’t support AMD Hip.

Grab the tarball from here and give that a shot.

I’m a little confused… Why would you need to audio record a song from a digital device? Just transfer the file over…
