I have exactly the setup you described, a Raspberry Pi with an 8 TB SSD parked at a friend of mine. It connects to my network via Wireguard automatically and just sits there until one of my hosts running Duplicati starts to sync the encrypted backups to it.

Has been running for 2 years now with no issues.

This had terrible consequences

Ha, they never learn. They also blocked most of Cloudflare in Austria a few years back.

Fun fact: It was the first IP block they tried. They haven’t tried again since then.

Thanks for the tip! I took a look and it seems like Recognize uses this: https://github.com/jordipons/musicnn

Last update was 4 years ago but will give it a try this weekend.

I’m thinking of Ripping my CD collection again. I’m researching a way to use a LLM to tidy up the metadata.

If you ever figure out how to use AI to determine the genre(s) of a song, let me know. Have been looking for something like that for quite a while.

I don’t think you can import pfSense configurations into OPNsense. I switched from a DIY pfSense box as well and redid the config.

You can look for a converter or install pfSense onto it though.

Because it’s dope.

Also, according to their website the 10 and 25 Gbit/s packages cost the same per month.

Also, still cheaper than my 1 Gbit/s connection.

They are expensive but I run a OPNsense DEC740 and have no issues with my Gigabit fiber, even without modem and the PPPoE overhead.

You can still try playing with hardware offload on/off and if you use PPPoE, it runs on a single core by default.

Did anything ever come from this? I imagine that any of the railway companies affected would want to sue?

Not much possibility for argumenting about security reasons either when you literally have the GPS coordinates of your competitors in your code.

That’s less of an opinion and more of a hardware restriction, isn’t it?

If I had a 5 Mbps connection or no display that can display 4k, I also would not download in 4k.

Off the top of my head, why did you set the prefix to 0x1? I was under the impression that it only needs to be set if there are multiple vlans

I have multiple VLANs, 0x1 is my LAN and 0x10 is my DMZ for example. I then get IP addresses abcd:abcd:a01::abcd in my LAN and abcd:abcd:a10::bcdf in my DMZ.

However, I get a /56 from my ISP wich gets subnetted into /64. I heard it’s not ideal to subnet a /64 but you might want to double check what you really got.

what are your rules for the WAN side of the firewall?

Only IPv4 + IPv6 ICMP, the normal NAT rules for IPv4 and the same rules for IPv6 but as regular rule instead of NAT rule.

My LAN interface is only getting an LLA so maybe it’s being blocked from communicating with the ISP router.

If you enable DHCPv6 in your network your firewall should be the one to hand out IP addresses, your ISP assigns your OPNsense the prefix and your OPNsense then subnets them into smaller chunks for your internal networks.

It is possible to do it without DHCPv6 but I didn’t read into it yet since DHCPv6 does exactly what I want it to do.

I’m no expert on IPv6 but here’s how I did it on my OPNsense box:

• Activate IPv6 on your WAN interface (probably already done)
• Activate IPv6 on the LAN interface, use Track interface on IPv6, track the WAN interface and choose a prefix ID like 0x1
• Activate DHCPv6 under Services -> ISC DHCPv6 for your LAN interface (you can shorten the range like ::eeee to ::ffff, you don’t have to type the full IP)
• Activate Router advertisments under Services -> Router Advertisments for your LAN interface (set Advertisments to Managed and Priority to High

After that your DHCP server should serve public IPv6 addresses inside of your prefix and clients should be able to connect to the internet.

A few notes:

• Don’t forget to add an allow rule for IPv6 on your LAN as well if you only have one for IPv4
• Repeat the steps above for every VLAN you have, always use a different prefix ID
• You don’t have to use NAT rules with IPv6 anymore and can just directly add a regular firewall rule to WAN with the target IP and port and you are done
• Make sure you don’t have any of the various “Disable IPv6” toggles enabled, there’s a few in the firewall settings and general settings for example

That is what I’m doing currently but now unbound doesn’t talk to the root servers anymore, it sends all queries to Quad9.

Both scenarios are not ideal because you always end up with one entity knowing all your queries.

Not illegal but it leaves all your DNS lookups in plain text with your ISP, which just doesn’t sit right with me.

Not that the ISP in my country would care.

Is it possible to get unbound to talk to the root servers via TLS/HTTPS by now?

I’m currently using Quad9 because they support DNS over TLS and DNS over HTTPS.

Do a library rescan on your music library and then download the latest Finamp beta from here: https://github.com/jmshrv/finamp/releases

Lyrics should work then:

@Catsrules@lemmy.ml

That’s a shame because ionity is absolute trash.

0.69 EUR/kWh is a robbery and requiring a subscription to fill your car cheaper is a scam. They are doing it with taxpayers’ money as well.

Imagine a publicly funded gas station with those conditions and people would lose their mind.

Check out Picard, I switched to it when I switched to Linux: https://flathub.org/apps/org.musicbrainz.Picard

I tried Jellycon briefly when I started but it’s unfortunate that it doesn’t integrate into the Kodi UI properly, so there’s no way to really use the Kodi interface nicely without casting from the Jellyfin app. It more or less just becomes a playback client for the Jellyfin app. If the Jellyfin app wouldn’t be such a disaster when casting I probably would be fine with that.

Might try it again in the future but the Jellyfin app experience is nothing like what Kore or Yatse can do directly with Kodi.

CoreELEC is community maintained and the N2+ still receives the latest builds, my last update was just last month.

However, CoreELEC can be installed on many devices (including some Android TV boxes) that have Amlogic chips. You can see a full list if you to to the download page on the CoreELEC page https://coreelec.org/.

Also, CoreELEC is not Android, it is Linux running only Kodi. If you need anything besides Kodi you might want to look at another solution or have multiple devices.

Kodi still plays via SMB/NFS when configured in direct play mode. Only the metadata is provided via Jellyfin and play progress is synced to Jellyfin.

The Jellyfin plugin is not the most stable piece of software but it gets the job done.

I have been using an Odroid N2+ with CoreELEC installed and the Jellyfin Kodi plugin for years now.

Plays pretty much everything you throw at it, including 4k HDR HFR.

Dolby Vision is supported in CoreELEC but only on some devices.

Is that a real Deezloader website? That website looks shady af.

I don’t run Pi-hole but quickly peeking into the container (docker run -it --rm --entrypoint /bin/sh pihole/pihole:latest) the folder and files belong to root with the permissions being 755 for the folder and 644 for the files.

chmod 700 most likely killed Pi-hole because a service that is not running as root will be accessing those config files and you removed their read access.

Also, I’m with the guys above. Never chmod 777 anything, period. In 99.9% of cases there’s a better way.

They have a different architecture so it comes down to preference.

Docker runs a daemon that you talk to to deploy your services. podman does not have a daemon, you either directly use the podman command to deploy services or use systemd to integrate them into your system.

I just built the Vulkan layer and gamescope from git and then started my native Steam installation normally. Then I just set the launch parameters to ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1 gamescope --hdr-enabled --hdr-debug-force-output --nested-refresh 165 --fullscreen --steam --output-width 3440 --nested-width 3440 --output-height 1440 --nested-height 1440 -- env ENABLE_GAMESCOPE_WSI=1 DXVK_HDR=1 DISABLE_HDR_WSI=1 %command%.

Works pretty well so far but I’m on AMD.

Which monitor do you have? ABL is unfortunately fairly aggressive on OLED screens, e.g. my screen only reaches about 250 nit with a 100% white window, which is only 10-20 nit brighter than the maximum for SDR content.

I can’t speak for Star Wars but Dune is pretty bright so you might just run into your monitors ABL very easily. You can test by making mpv really small against a black background and then maximizing. If the image gets dimmer you’re getting limited by ABL.

You might want to grab a 4k remux for something like The Greatest Showman or Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse to benchmark with. They have a lot of colorful but dark scenes to really bring out the HDR highlights.

I’m also using Plasma 6 to play games and watch movies in HDR and everything looks as expected.

What monitor/TV do you use? Did you install the necessary Vulkan layers? Do you use mpv with the correct parameters? Which movies/scenes?

You can try turning the SDR brightness all the way down and back up. If the brightness of mpv changes, you’re not running in HDR.

HTTP/3 is UDP as well but only on port 443.

Nope, release target is mid-April currently.

Starting with 10.9 you can enable segment deletion so files are cleaned up while still transcoding.

I guess the processor needs to be an Amlogic for the best media experience?

If you want to use CoreELEC, yes. It only supports Amlogic.

They also support flashing a lot of different TV android boxes and some can be had for cheap so also worth looking there.

CoreELEC is especially built with Amlogic chips in mind, it includes all the drivers necessary to GPU decode all codecs it can.

The live test you posted runs on CPU, there’s no mobile ARM chip out there that can smoothly CPU decode anything above 1080p so using GPU decode is crucial.

That depends on the SBC.

Most of them boot from SD so you will want to get an enterprise SD card or one for cameras.

The Odroids have an eMMC slot for storage. Most boot from USB as well.

There are now SBC with SATA ports and even some with M.2 or PCI-e slots.

They use Samsung Exynos CPUs IIRC instead of the Broadcom chips that the Pis use

Didn’t know there were Odroids with Exynos CPUs.

The N2+ has an Amlogic S922X, CoreELEC is also a fork of LibreELEC but only for Amlogic processors.

There are newer Amlogic chips nowadays but I never looked into them.

I have been using a Odroid N2+ running CoreELEC with the Jellyfin plugin ever since it released. Plays absolutely everything you throw at it, even 4k60 with HDR.

https://coreelec.org/

If you need Dolby Vision, you will need one of the supported devices, the Odroid N2+ is not one of them.

I never used Citra before so I just grabbed it from Flathub.

You can still grab the latest early access build here: https://github.com/pineappleEA/pineapple-src/releases

I don’t think the PS3 has a UHD drive (or can output 4k).

If you already have a PC the cheapest way would be to get one of the 4k drives that can be flashed (https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19634)

You can then either rip your blu-rays via MakeMKV directly or play them in VLC/Kodi via libmmbd.

Well thanks for the heads up, as a fellow lazy Gandi user I now know where to switch my domains to.
