It’s one of the most common biases for historians: anachronicity, it’s about looking to people in the past with the goggles from the present (current biases, and/ or values). Furthemore, priests copying books by hand was extremely common before the invention of the printing press.

I wonder if this case is special for its time (the first copyist?) or book (was it protected by any hierarchy?)… Other than that, I agree and fail to see a salient connection to “our” piracy.

I’d rather keep the origins on musical pieces, probably classical music. Which is difficult to get even to this days (too niche, some popular pieces have scanned PDFs tho)


I use anzo and as password an empty string. It’s never been guessed :p


I am very much looking for feedback on this self-proclaimed simple oidc. Authentik is not as bad as Keycloak, but from what I reckon theres still room for improvement! -fingers crossed-


This is oooold. Like in, it was superseded long agooo.

I think thats the case for most artists and their art… Specially in the music industry


using Tor is enough meta data if you were to use it to safeguard from some actors (e.g. state). I’m just saying from the perspective of some of the hypothetical personas as defined by Tor project itself. If it were to boil this down to me, I would rather live without the correlation attacks (e.g. ISP giving me seemingly random disconnects) and just do my casual reading on cracking on the clear-net.


Plus, just connecting to Tor is very much a huge exposure imho. I’d use a VPN. Now, if I’m having a VPN, probably wireguard, why would I need Tor? Some providers grant you the ability to interconnect devices under your account. So, just run the VPN on the server. This is why I love NordLynx. It’s just like tailscale.


I might try vaultwarden myself, given that my life partner is always asking me for some platform password I already shared. Is possible to use just on LAN to sync and keep using the passwords from the android client while out of reach? I was just reading about 30-days sessions in the docs. Apparently, yes. That’s huge (for me, I’d like not to expose anything, even with VPN)


The syncthing server only gives metadata (no files, only IPs) between the devices, so they can connect to each other. And it’s self-hostable.


I said my needs. I was just sharing. Hardly understanding your normal use case of 10-50 users on a same kdbx. The best you could do is having multiple kdbx, fro subgroups of users. Since not everyone should have the master password to all those kdbx… But I am sure that if those were my needs I’d jump to vaultwarden too. That’s why I specifically added the disclaimer sentences on my post. I didn’t mean to rob vaultwarden of its value. Just pointed out the tradeoff. Your comments adds on to those tradeoffs, they’re just different solutions with different pros and cons. The user who mentioned using vaultwarden behind a VPN gave great input, I wasn’t considering that. Anyway, have a nice day.


Not to flame on anyone, and without reading the details on the specific CVE. But, to share as an advice: this reason is why I prefer keepass + syncthing for my needs. Security for a full blown web app is not trivial and has a bigger “attack surface” than a kdbx file moving p2p through my devices via syncthing.



And bedbugs deserve better!


You could first filter to a given tracker, select all torrents there en masse, and save some clicks; proceeding with your given steps. Cool! Btw, I use VueTorrent alt UI/ Theme


You want a bridge. Like Jabagram or Emulsion. But there’s a limited set of features that will work. For example, reactions or group admin on telegram can’t be easily replicated over xmpp. And, in any case, we are talking more about having messages and media on both rooms, on either side, replicated. That way, users on telegram (e.g. your friend) can talk to users on xmpp (e.g. you). Reliability for bridges is not good, there are glitches and messages that doesn’t make it to the other side, whichever that is. I’d say you prefer to self-host xmpp with cherry-picked extensions, like snikket.org



I don’t know which codec should be used to rip but you can pick whatever is in use by the latest and popular uploaders at whichever public tracker you decide on to use for those swarms


Check “green blue” deployment strategy. This is done by many businesses, where an interrupted service might mean losing a sale, or a client forever… I tried it sometime witj Nginx but it was more pain than gain (for my personal use)


Monetization is another secret probably. Ads alone could drive millions on streaming platforms. I don’t have idea on public or private trackers, but I guess is also more than what I could win in my life xD but that’s probably me just being poor.


As to how, I’d probably use zfs send | receive, any built-in functionality on a CoW filesystem, rsnapshot, rclone or just syncthing. As to when, I’d probably hack something with systemd triggers (e.g. on network connection, send all remaining incremental snapshots). But this would only be needed in some cases (e.g. not using syncthing ;p)


The protocol is called DLNA


There are two options, one is tunneling (e.g. tailscale, cloudfare tunnels, or a VPS either with special software or plain old SSH port forward constant connection). The other option, the most popular answer (I think, influenced by how yoy asked) is Dynamic DNS or DynDNS (e.g. duck, hurricane, freedns, etc.) this second one is like the classic solution.


I have no experience with this, but it might be worth to investigate what Home Assistant has to offer both as a DLNA server and clients (I’m thinking on cheap SBCs in each room…)


I heard conduit.rs has lower memory requirements. Dunno if there’s a easy to deploy container tho. Good luck!




And check their device compatibility list. Also, you’ll need plenty of RAM.


Buckets have a lot of features that postgres don’t. Like mounting via FUSE. And Garage in particular offers some integrations to apps, websited, and so on. I would go with this instead of having a column of byte data in a DB table. The pgsql solution might work in small and simple cases (e.g. storing the user’s avatar in a forum) but even so, if I could or had to choose, I wouldn’t do it.


There are different approaches or sentiments that bring people together. There’s for example the left-politics platform disroot.org and they have also developed some solutions of their own (as in not only hosting, but coding). Autistici colective has this calendar called ganzo or similar iirc. That’s something amazing to me.




502 means the app is broken. For example, if it were Flask python, it would be raising an exception (e.g. divide by zero). If this is happening to many services or apps simultaneously, it is concerning. Turning it off sounds wise at this point.


Another consideration would be building communities around platforms and instances. That’s how many of the open source world thrives!



Have you tried ollama ? Some (if not all) models would do inference just fine with your current specs. Of course, it all depends on how many queries per unit of time you need. And if you wanted to load a huge codebase and pass it as input. Anyway, go try out.



Providing links like this on a forum sounds like a trap, it’s sad that you got so many downvotes for the lack of explanation (as given in comments).

A few more questions remain… Why did you program this? As in, how is this different or better than the alternatives?

There are so many! IMHO that’s a problem, as a user I don’t know how to decide…!


No need of VPN. But it wouldn’t harm if you wanted to have more privacy


I’m using github.com/mag37/dockcheck for this, with its “-d N” argument. There’s a tradeoff between stability and security, you need to decide for yourself. It will also depend on what services you’re hosting. For example, nextcloud and immich would be disastrous under such a regime.


we should definitively have a wiki (though people should use “search” too, I wonder if a wiki would help really). This “topic” comes every month. I have posted this already, here it goes again: https://github.com/anderspitman/awesome-tunneling


Perhaps a chronological view is a bonus of the idea lives on for long enough. And having links between stories, or tags can be useful at some point too… https://www.usememos.com/

It doesn't matter if it's a CD, a Film, or manual with the instructions to build a spaceship. If you copy it, the original owner doesn't lose anything. If you don't copy it, the only one missing something (the experience) is YOU. Enjoy! Of course, if you happen to have some extra money for donations to creators, please do so. If you don't have that, try contributing with a review somewhere or recommending the content, spread the word. Piracy was shown to drive businesses in several occasions by independent and biased corps (trying to show the opposite).

It has an 'App store' that's been growing a lot lately. Writing new docker-compose.yaml files is easy (see: https://www.runtipi.io/docs/contributing/adding-a-new-app ), and exposing them behind NAT, e.g. from home it's easy too (see: https://www.runtipi.io/docs/guides/expose-apps-with-cloudflare-tunnels )... But my favorite perk is the folder structure (see: https://www.runtipi.io/docs/reference/folder-structure ), and the fact that 'media' is shared between apps.
