If I hear a song I like in a movie, game or other media I add the song and the discography for the artist to the downloader.
Once I have some free time I listen through those songs and filter out everything I don’t like.
The rest gets added to my collection. I never delete songs unless something slipped through like a short interlude.
Yes, I don’t want external users to accidentally play the 4k version so I only give access to people who I know can handle it.
Yes, I run two instances of Radarr and Sonarr. One caps out at 1080p, the other one only allows 2160p.
Jellyfin just has two separate libraries for them.
I’m mostly doing this to prevent unecessary transcoding away from home where streaming 4k HDR is unlikely. At some point I will merge them but bandwidth for 4k streaming is not there yet and proper HDR tone mapping is still rare.
Due to time and energy i tend to an out of the box, non OSS solution.
Why not both? OPNsense and pfSense both sell official hardware.
Both are pretty easy to configure but have pretty much no limit on how deep you can go.
Unifi works great as well but you hit a ceiling fairly quickly if it needs to do anything advanced.
I would not depend on DNS records being private. On the off chance that one of the nameservers messes up, I would prefer if no subdomains are leaked.
But you’re correct, most of the time those leaks happen somewhere else.
You can avoid these scans by only using wildcards on your DNS entries and SSL certificates.
Both of these are commonly used by bots to find new domains.
Will have to try that, also a good way to one-up my neighbor with those CDs hanging outside. :)
Already have a few of those, always a good party gag for the ones that know.
Yes, I’ve got quite a few types, good idea.
Thanks for the artist view on things. :)
I mostly want something pretty to look at but adding a message to it is an excellent idea.
I have like 30 old hard drives laying around and have been thinking about doing a cool art installation with them for a while.
Maybe shatter the platters to create a spiky landscape and epoxy them in, or something like that.
Any ideas?
Definitely go with K3s instead of K8s if you want to go the Kubernetes route. K8s is a massive pain in the ass to setup. Unless you want to learn about it for work I would avoid it for homelab usage.
I currently run Docker Swarm nodes on top of LXCs in Proxmox. Pretty happy with the setup except that I can’t get IPv6 to work in Docker overlay networks and the overlay network performance leaves things to be desired.
I previously used Rancher to run Kubernetes but I didn’t like the complexity it adds for pretty much no benefit. I’m currently looking into switching to K3s to finally get my IPv6 stack working. I’m so used to docker-compose files that it’s hard to get used to the way Kubernetes does things though.
They cannot access the internet because they need a bridge to work. The bridge can be open source software like Zigbee2MQTT.
I’m curious if cars would be bricked if they couldn’t call home, or if you could selectively allow certain messages through.
I can’t speak for every car but at least Teslas do not mind being offline. You cannot control which messages they send because they connect via a VPN to the mothership. So it’s an all or nothing kinda deal.
You can also pretty easily remove the SIM card on older models with just a few screws. Newer ones use eSIMs, never looked into how to get rid of that one but I assume it is more complicated.
Your comment makes me wonder if one could get around AT by installing faraday cages around where the chips are.
The antennas are usually external, mounted somewhere else in the car and can be unplugged. Never checked if it can still get a signal without the antenna though.
edit: Also, the PCB itself is mounted inside a faraday cage because the entire thing sits inside of RF shielding.
Do you have more details on your setup?
I currently selfhost mailcow on a small VPS but I would like to move the receiving part to my homelab and only use a small VPS or service like SES for sending.
Plex has been hostile towards self-hosting since the very beginning. They have been asked to add local authentication for more than 10 years.
It can’t be worse than an outdated public facing Windows server, right?
Same here, all my 4k players run Kodi/CoreELEC with the Jellyfin plugin.
