Scrutiny uses smartctl --scan to detect devices/drives.

https://github.com/AnalogJ/scrutiny#getting-started

It will recognize the block devices but not the filesystem construct. That means ZFS pools themselves are out of scope.


For anyone’s information, if you have an ARMv7 hardware, cloudflared also has compiled to armhf a.k.a. ARM Hard Float. It is not listed in the official site but can be downloaded from GitHub release.

And ARMv7 hardware floating point support can confirmed by inputing cat /proc/cpuinfo and check if vfpv3 is listed in the features row.


Pi Zero you mean the original Pi Zero 1 right? Its SoC is driving a 32-bit ARMv6 CPU core.

The most straightfoward way is to try the Cloudflare Package Repository. It should be able to match the OS and arch for you.

You can also try installing the precompiled ARM deb package, specifically cloudflared-linux-arm.deb directly if the repo does not work.

P.S. If none of the above works, you can try setting up the Go build environment and compiling from source on your Pi Zero.


Maybe you can give Outline a try. It is based on shadowsocks a proxy tunnel with enough obfuscation to fly even under the radar of the GFW of Communist China.


Given the information provided,

Media Size: 7168MB + 100MB = 7268MB = 58144Mb

Run time: 1h47m = 6420s

Average bitrate = 58144Mb / 6420s = ~9.06Mbps

That is definitely not FHD Blu-ray quality (~30Mbps) but better than DVD on average (~6Mbps).

I think a quality HDMI capture card should be able to not just match but surpass this bitrate.


What do you mean by doing a "webrip” from the GRC app? Is it actually a web app in disguise? Or you mean doing a screen capture?



The files are supposed to be played with the GRC app, correct? If so I think you need to intercept the (usually HTTPS) request(s) for the key made by the GRC Windows 11 app.

Btw can the said movie be played in a browser via say the GRC site? It may be an easier target.


SegmentURL is a tag for MPEG-DASH which is usually for streaming. How large are the .mp4 files?


If reencoding is to be avoided, one can try ffmpeg -i xxx.mpd -c:v copy -c:a copy out.mp4


The MPD file should be a Media Presentation Description file. Can you open it in a text editor? It should be a bunch of XML.


Those letters are often void threats. ISPs are not really the right plaintiff to bring priacy cases to court. The only thing they can do is to terminate service but that is obviously not in their interest.

Just if you are already paying for a VPN and the download/upload speed is acceptable, there is no point in getting yourself in trouble no matter how small the odd is.


Your preference may vary but I would not recommend anyone trying to “clone” anything on a running system.


Asus also has a similar line. Just they carry and market this line of products in limited countries only.

It is also not that odd to see Asus grabbing the Intel NUC business. Intel NUCs have been contract manufactured by Pegatron, the OEM manufacturing spin-off of the original ASUSTeK Computer Inc., whose majority shareholder is still ASUSTek.


I have been using it since v1.1x and that was released around a year ago. In other words, it has been running good enough for me for a year. Features are added and bugs are getting fixed along the way. I have not experienced any major break.


I may sound like an immich evangelizer now but immich ftw lol

P.S. Related doc for user management.



No not anymore. I no longer find it necessary now. Things have become much easier. Many routers have out-of-factory OpenWrt support or are outright built with/on OpenWrt. Companies like GL.iNet has made the barrier to entry the lowest ever.

Gone were the days we had to spot the right hardware versions, find ways to access debug ports, tinker with das uboot (or it had to be added…), flush the official firmware, and flash the right OpenWRT image. And this often would set you down on a path to compile the “right” kernel to work with proprietary driver/firmware blob files so hardware acceleration (e.g. NAT or WiFi radio) could work properly… Indeed I have learnt a lot but honestly I don’t really miss those days lol


dd is transferring in blocks while rsync is transferring in files (or file tree). If you wanna clone a disk, the former is a better option as you want a clone and a block device may contain more than one partition.


Both the SD cards and SSDs are interpreted as block storage devices by the Linux kernel. You should be able to clone the SD card to a SSD with tools such as dd.


And the issue still persists even after taking those steps?

Does the dig command confirm 1.1.1.1 is in use?


prowlarr does not appear to support customizing DNS. You need to alter your DNS on the OS level. Which OS are you using?


There are a number of unit conversion libraries in JavaScript. Building your own is not that hard. A simple SPA shall suffice.


SD cards are not known for reliability either. A decent USB drive can get you SMART passthrough at least.


Check for the exact core configuration and cache size via Intel Ark first. More often than not i5 and i7 can have the same core configuration and cache size but difference base and boost frequencies.


Yeah hiding DNS queries is just one part of the equation. It has to be coupled with other techs/techniques to really achieve privacy.


It appears Avaya sold the networking product line to Extreme Networks. And

Product documentation, downloads, knowledge articles and technical support can be requested via www.extremenetworks.com

Maybe you can try contacting them.


Chrome has DNS-over-HTTPS enabled by default. Firefox, however, enables that by default in certain regions only.

Cloudflare has a comprehensive guide on how to enable it in various browsers.

P.S. If you dun wanna use Cloudflare as the resolver, quad9 can be an (maybe better) option.


Pi should not be the first choice unless you just wanna dip your toe in the water with limited investment or you are real experienced in the trade. While the hardware is powerful enough for many use cases, it is very limited in external connectivity which really hampers its potential as a NAS/multi-purpose server.

CPUs often get less efficient (in the sense of work done per watt) when they are pushed to their limits. Unless you are running the server at full load all the time, the power consumption of a typical x86 system is quite manageable (~30-50W) at idle to low usage. Newer hardware is surely more efficient as newer designs are relatively faster and often have more power conservation technologies built-in.


Not quite related to selfhosting but modding routers and then DIYing x86 routers kinda got me into the scene.


The only edge Adguard Home has over PiHole I can think of is its out-of-box support of encrypted DNS upstream and downstream queries (e.g. DNS-over-HTTPS and DNS-over-TLS).


If you are a programmer or have some experience, you can try wrapping the site with a standalone runtime like electron or nw.js or leverage automation tools like Playwright and Puppeteer.

Otherwise you may need to check if your browser supports encapsulating webpages into its own browser context (e.g. Edge and Safari). Some websites support this natively via the Progressive Web App (PWA) paradigm.


Just curious what options we have if federation is needed.


The good old Mozilla Send was discontinued but the repo was forked and maintained. It should meet all your demands.


I have been using immich. It supports user accounts and album sharing. And recent updates on the machine learning part have made it a even more potent replacement of Google Photos imo.


I hate to put it this way because libtorrent is a wonderful piece of open-source software maintained by volunteers but as is typical with its history, releases are going to be bumpy.


The main reason is that libtorrent, which is the literal backbone of most torrenting clients, has implemented supported for I2P only recently in its latest v2.x branch… It takes time for libtorrent to iron out bugs and stablize and it takes more for clients to upgrade their embedded libtorrent to v2.x.


While proxying or tunneling to a VPS can sometime improve international connectivity (as usually VPSs live in machines that situate in well-connected datacenters), the bottomneck of your uplink is still at your 50Mbps connection.

Also are you connecting to the servers closest to you or better within your country when you did those speedtests? If yes, it implies the your uplink is throttled locally not internationally.


While it would work no doubt, I do not recommend it. It complicates management in case things go real astray especially nowadays most consumer motherboards do no expose RS232 or any serial port. It is also more flexible and convenient for homelab machines to have some sort of GPU capability.


Unless you are adding a discrete GPU, your options are limited to APUs which only have two models in Zen 3: 5600G and 5700G.
