  • Plex’s crackdown on free remote streaming access starts this week - Ars Technica

    Jump

  • Most ISPs that do use CGNAT also offer ipv6 in Australia at least. The problem is that there is always that one client network that only supports ipv4 so you end up needing to support dual stack one way or another. Most of these ISPs also support CGNAT opt out for free at least, but I suspect that will go away in the medium term (and maybe that will encourage more universal ipv6 rollout).

  • It's probably a TOS violation but you can combine it with pinchflat to strip ads and sponsored content from YouTube. It's not a general YouTube app though, rather you use it to preserve channels you're interested in.

    You can also use Jellyfin to serve legally purchased music from bandcamp etc, or movies and TV shows ripped from Blurays and DVDs.

  • Steam Frame Using Mesa's Turnip Vulkan Open-Source Driver

    Jump

  • A Facebook account isn't needed anymore (even for developer mode) but it makes perfect sense to buy a much more open, flexible, and trustworthy device.

  • Why isn't it considered vegan to harvest animals who die naturally?

    Jump

  • A see the issue as more about habit formation and incentives, rather than the act in isolation being a problem. Those that come to rely on animal products from roadkill will inevitably turn to more conventional methods when roadkill is not available since they have become habituated to using animal products (although this is likely worse with more regular habits like meat eating).Additionally, if this method became widespread enough, there would be an incentive to increase the amount of roadkill (or at best, not decrease it) when in reality roadkill itself is a failure of transport design and land use.

  • Self hosted DNS

    Jump

  • Many would be self-hosting behind a VPN so are less affected by public DNS issues.

  • Headscale vs Netbird vs Pangolin - How do you like selfhosting them?

    Jump

  • I've used both Headscale and a while ago, Netbird. Some of this will be in comparison to raw Wireguard, which I'm also using.

    I'm currently using Headscale, but it does have some annoyances. There were breaking changes fairly often for a while, although it looks to have mostly stabilised now. Tailscale itself is pretty invasive with its routing rules and DNS which can break things or cause unexpected behaviour, which doesn't occur with raw Wireguard which is more predictable once you understand it. The Tailscale android client has been somewhat unreliable and clunky, although getting better, although third party Android clients for Wireguard, in turn, have also improved Wireguard usage dramatically. On the other hand, Headscale (or Netbird) are pretty much necessary if you are on a CG-NAT and need ipv4 access, and more usable if you want to build a mesh network.

    I can't remember if I tested the service Netbird or the self-hosted version (I think both) but the main thing I remember is that it had poor support for ipv6, which I consider mandatory. Otherwise, the Android client seemed solid and it felt well-designed overall. And maybe the ipv6 support is better now.

  • Steam Hardware Announcement - (This is wild)

    Jump

  • Yeah, both of my SCs are broken at this point (including one of the dongles). I have a decent conventional controller but really miss those touchpads.

  • Steam Controller

    Jump

  • I use them both together, touchpds for quick movements and gyro for precision.

  • Steam Machine

    Jump

  • That same shadiness is why AMD GPUs can't directly support HDMI 2.1 on Linux. But there are workarounds like DP to HDMI converters or using 4:2:0 which is tolerable for non-HDR gaming at least (not so much general PC use).

  • I keep waffling on Proxmox. Sell me. For or against.

    Jump

  • yes but why would you?

    Mainly because you're required to use their distribution, or to build on Debian, which is not to everyone's liking.

    Of course that's an argument against proxmox, and not virt-manager and the like.

  • Why do I need a domain to access my Funkwhale library but not SyncThing?

    Jump

  • Primary goal: Navidrome as server combined with a VPN (tailscale is probably the easiest to setup but not technically self-hosted). Clients can be any that support the subsonic protocol. I personally use dsub2000 (android) + supersonic (Linux) but there are others. I'd start by testing it on your LAN to see if it's workable.

    Secondary goal: if you can get all 12 people to install Tailscale on all relevant devices then you can continue to use that. If not, you'll need to host navidrome (or an alternative) publically preferably with a reverse proxy for better security. You could alternatively try Tailscale funnel or some cloudflare solution to host navidrome.

  • Gadgetbridge data dashboard

    Jump

  • There's also endurain but it doesn't support gadget bridge integration yet (gadgetbridge needs to solve it on their end).

  • Why do I need a domain to access my Funkwhale library but not SyncThing?

    Jump

  • You sound like you want something more like navidrome which is closer to a private Spotify whereas Funkwhale is closer to a public social platform like Lemmy or Mastodon where you share music and follow others (or a little like a free bandcamp).

    You still need to solve the public access problem either way, however, as others have talked about.

  • TrueCrypt, what really happened?

    Jump

  • It was forked to veracrypt from memory. And LUKS was already widely available on Linux as alternative.

  • I'd like to control my air-purifier with one of those power-socket-timer-switch thingies – Is there a way to "auto-press" those non-mechanical buttons?

    Jump

  • Many of them support ZigBee and work fine in that context. It's just the wifi devices that are problematic.

  • Tempus v4.0.7 android subsonic client release

    Jump

  • Some subsonic clients also support Jellyfin servers, so that could be a useful addition here (although I'm happy with Navidrome myself).

  • What technologies were ubiquitous ten years ago and are much less common now?

    Jump

  • They tend to have free wifi too so are somewhat useful.

    Jump

  • It's a shame modern phones have been losing both micro SD card slots and headphone jacks and often don't have a substantial amount of storage. Still better than carrying multiple devices, however.

  • Are there video media (e.g TV shows, Movies, anime, video games, youtube videos, etc...) with a majority of the dialogue in an fictional language?

    Jump

  • The Panzer Dragoon series, except for Saga which is only partly in the fictional language.
