which VPS do you recommend?
I want to selfhost my own personal website. This is just for fun, as a hobby and to show off my skills to others. nothing big. I have my own server home but I want to have something that's separate from my personal stuff. I do not need any support, meaning it can be as cheap as possible. I do not yet know how much RAM or CPU or storage I need. I guess CPU > 2GHz and 2GB RAM should be enough to start. daily/weekly backup with rsync in case the hoster goes out of business. I do not need a domain, I will use a dynamic dns hoster.

Thx but I was simply refering to e2e in transport 😅



There’s an osmand telegram plugin. Someone may want to rewrite it for matrix?




Even worse. Many apps have google signature instead of the developers. They upload their key and give it to google. Horrible practice. Nowadays, fdroid gravitates towards reproducible builds with the dev’s own signature and google is going the other way round. Gravitating towards an unsafe “best practice” …


If that’s of your concern, you can’t download the play store version either. It is the same app, has the same signature.



Storage is cheap. You suggest combining the images and storing the difference.

You can’t separate the images anymore. You have to store them in a container such that you have one common base image. You can then later on decide which image to look at.

You could also take a short video and only display one image.

Avif uses a video compression algorithm, meaning it’s basically one frame of a video.

Btw, I wouldn’t care about your problem. Storage is cheap. Try saving 10 4k videos and you’ll laugh about your image library


Nice. Althoigh it’s difficult to find a specific book via torrents, isn’t it?


Thx!

I don’t use tor much. I try accessing it using clearnet where idon’t have a working link currently.

Good to know that it’s still up although not accessible for me currently





I had problems with podman/selinux and jellyfin and gpu acvelleration which is why I’m on debian now. I’d go with atomic any day if I could solve the problem but I don’t know how.


Likely, This is it. It transcodes and hence it has to buffer because the server isn’t strong enough. Best is to use a gpu like intel a380 as described in jellyfin’s doc.


I would’ve wished

  • don’t rush things into production.
  • dont offer a service to a friend without really knowing and having the experience to keep it up when needed.
  • dont make it your life. The services are there to help you, not to be your life.
  • use docker. Podman is not yet ready for mainstream, in my experience. When the services move to podman officially it’s time to move. Just because jellyfin offers official documentation for it, doesn’t mean it’ll work with podman (my experience)
  • just test all services with the base docker install. If something isn’t working, there may be a bug or two. Report if it is a bug. Hunt a bug down if you can. maybe it’s just something that isn’t documented (well enough) for a beginner.
  • start on your own machine before getting a server. A pi is enough for lightweight stuff but probably not for a fast and smooth experience with e.g. nextcloud.
  • backup.
  • search for help. If not available in a forum. ask for help. Dont waste many many hours if something isnt working. But research it first and read the documentation.



It’s usually good to state why something is good or bad :)


I don’t know the best way but I would use cron and start docker every minute (if it’s not running).


This vulnerability arises from improper handling of batch files with all possible extensions on Windows


This release includes a security update for Node.js. While we don’t think these CVEs affect Immich, we strongly recommend you update. For more details, see https://nodejs.org/en/blog/vulnerability/july-2024-security-releases.




Mine turns off at 2 or if noone has been watching for 10 minutes after 2am and turns on at 5:45. Nobody ever uses it during that time. It’s pointless to keep it running. Additional bonus is that it auto updates all containers each morning. Yes, I sometimes wake up at 4 or 5 and it would be cool if it were running but it shows that you do not NEED it.



Author based strcuture. At least that’s what audiobookshelf expects and it works good



That’s what I do as well. Even with immich. It may break but it’s usually just a simple change in the env file


I had a horrible experience with nextcloud on a pi. I have a great experience on a good server. It stores files. It does that very well for me. Clients work reliable.

Nextcloud apps are sometines good and sometimes not. It can do everything. One should let navidrome serve music and not nextcloud. Mealie is for recipes. Jellyfin for videos and immich for images. Paperless for documents.

Nextcloud is file storage, backup, syncing and maybe collab. That’s what I expect and that’s what I get.





Why would anyone ddos you? Ddos costs money andor effort. Noone is going to waste that on you. Maybe dos but not ddos. And the troll will go away after some time as well. There’s no gain in dosing you. Why would anyone hack your static website? For the lulz? If everything is https encrypted on your local net how does a hacker infest everything on your network?


immich: Does a SSD/HDD make a noticable difference?
I wonder if there is a nptocable difference between a HDD and SSD. Did someone already test it? I run it off a good SSD but wonder if a HDD would be enough.

Neither does my statement reject capitalism. I reject the monopolies. There is not really a competitive market. It may or should be a natural monopoly but there are means to produce competitive markets but they are not yet implemented.

Capitalism does not exclusively mean monopolies. Recap: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalism

Capitalism is an economic system based on the private ownership of the means of production and their operation for profit.[1][2][3][4][5] Central characteristics of capitalism include capital accumulation, competitive markets, price systems, private property, property rights recognition, economic freedom, profit motive, entrepreneurship, commodification, voluntary exchange, wage labor and the production of commodities.[6][7][8][9] In a market economy, decision-making and investments are determined by owners of wealth, property, or ability to maneuver capital or production ability in capital and financial markets—whereas prices and the distribution of goods and services are mainly determined by competition in goods and services markets.


It’s not only price. I don’t agree that spotify has the right to a monopoly in music sales. Neither shall youtube have it for videos or adobe for image editing.

There is a market imbalance and the only protest that’s left for me is to pirate content.


I’ve got no idea what your exam is but why does it provide the answer (aka notes) to the question?

It’s incredible that you shall not discuss it but actively denounce it. What idiot wrote this? Please denounce him.


That’s on the roadmap for this year

How to detect problems on computer?
My server (fedora) stops all podman containers after 2-3 hours since 3 days. I can start all containers again, and the same happens after a while. I do not know where to look for the problem. In top, I found a oom message. I assume that the system runs out of memory and stops all services. How can I find the problem? I can’t find anything in the container logs. I can see that systemctl status is always starting. It doesn’t become “running”. But I do not know how to proceed.

nginx proxy manager changes IP. How to get static container IP?
all the containers change IP addresses frequently. For home assistant a static IP address of the proxy manager is mandatory in order to reach it. For jellyfin it is useful to see which device accesses jellyfin. If the IP always changes, it doesn't work properly. How do I fix a container IP with podman compose (or docker)

1080 vs 4k | SDR vs HDR in 1 video
Is there a video which compares 1080 and 4k and another one comparing HDR vs SDR? When I watch 4k content I think, wow, this is great detail. But when I watch 1080 this is very good, but the tiny people in the background wouldn't be blurred in 4k. And when I watch a dark SDR video I hate that the movie companies didn't release HDR quality although it's a recent movie/ series. But how would I know if it would be better? I always think that the grass is greener on the other side, but how would I know? Would it be hard to create such a video file? I guess with ffmpeg. But all else would need to be kept constant which is the difficult part

how to avoid seeding torrent queue
Whenever I start qbittorrent, the seeding torrents are queued. I've got two upload slots and 30 seconds timeout. It takes very very long until all torrents are seeding, if ever, until the next restart. How can I avoid this? One method is to increase the amount of upload slots to 10 and the timeout to 2 seconds (any large and low number will do it). But I don't want to baby sit qbittorrent every time I start it. Is there another way while keeping only few upload slots?

Radarr / Qbittorrent: How to switch to hardlinks
I always wondered why hardlinks in radarr/ sonarr and qbittorrent didn't work for me. I think the problem was that I mapped the directories as below: ```` volumes: - ./config:/config - ./downloads:/downloads - ./movies:/movies ```` whereas I should've mapped them as: ```` volumes: - ./config:/config - ./media:/media - ./media/downloads:/media/downloads - ./media/movies:/media/movies ```` Now, how do I replace all the duplicate files in `/downloads` with the links?

How to prioritize a container with regards to internet speed
### Internet speed prioritization in containers How can I prioritize a container with regards to internet speed? Let's assume I've got two podman (docker) containers and both upload stuff. ### Reasoning My upload bandwidth is limited. One container needs to reliably upload stuff and the other doesn't. Thus, I want to prioritize one container over the over in order to deliver content in this container reliably. ### Example Syncthing can sync over a long time period but jellyfin can't.

why are some movies/ shows not released in UHD?
There are a lot of videos that I'd like to watch in UHD and/or HDR but there is no streaming service that provides them. Why is that? Why do they not release them in UHD? The cameras they are shooting it with are more than cappable of providing UHD.

It's an alternative jellyfin + radarr + sonarr (jellyseer) front end. It's in very early stages but it looks and feels so good. I read on the issues that work will progress but there needs to be a lot of planning. Anyway, it looks good! star it and watch out for the next release

Do you have a separate 4k library?
A new TV offers the possibility to watch 4k movies to me. I am thinking about upgrading my library but I'm not sure if I want to replace my 1080 collection. I've read that some use a separate 4k library. Do you? How do you deal with it? I mostly add movies with trakt and radarr automatically. Do you use separate accounts?

nvidia shield recommendations?
I am about to buy one. What do you recommend for a jellyfin setup with it? So far I got: - Projectivity Launcher - set speed to 0.5 for snappier experience - debloat via adb https://florisse.nl/shield-debloat/ Additional Q: if it can upscale 1080 to 4k, does that mean I don't need my 4k collection anymore? It sounds too good to be true.

Youtube for Samsung TV Tizen OS
In general, I'd appreciate recommendations for it, but a third party youtube app would be great. I just installed jellyfin via a one line docker install which worked great. Edit: Tizen OS is horrible. The whole OS is one huge ad. The settings are spread across everywhere. It has multiple different views for apps and recommendations and movies. Everything is mixed together into one giant swamp in one view.
