I do like some intellectual stimulation and will hold contrarian views just to test the waters of my own understanding or to test yours. I don’t always believe the things I say online. I want you, AND me to understand the world around us better.

I bought a CN62 Chromebox, and put MrChromebox’s Bios on it – I did the rounds comparing it with a Pi 4 and it was 2.5x faster, and could easily saturate my gigabit connection. It came with 16gb of storage, and 2gb of ram; but using ACTUAL DRAM slots. I could upgrade it to 16gb if I needed to down the line.
The whole thing, cost me like $45 shipped; power supply, storage, everything needed…and it’s an X86 instruction set - so I can use whatever version of Linux I want, without any crazy Raspberry Pi specific patches/builds.
The two I’ve seen so far are “Nuzu” and Suyu" - if Suyu has the proper structure set up so that Nintendo can’t get at them, I think that’s the name I’d prefer; but otherwise it just feels like people looking to get some cheap fame.
If either of these projects has an owner with a history of contributing to the Yuzu project, I think that’s the one that’ll succeed.
I don’t watch TV, just shows and movies, so I didn’t ever need the DVR functionality. So I get that. NVENC encoding was as simple as choosing it and hitting save; so I’m not sure why you were having troubles there unless you were trying to set up docker or some shit, but that’s on you for using containerization, not on jellyfin.
And the UI is short, sweet, and to the point - exactly what I want to select a show and have it get out of my way. It looks almost exactly like AndroidTV did when it was introduced. Just a nice, clean way to select and start what you want.
I’d still think it’s a power issue. I’ve got a bunch of 500gig laptop drives, and ended up getting a 10A 5v supply with a powered hub. Also if you have the chance, power the rpi by the 5v GPIO pins rather than USB, as often the PMIC on the Rpi is anemic and loves to STILL drop under recommended voltage. I run 5.2v 5A PSU on the 5v rail, and haven’t had issues.
If these are 2.5" HDDs, (laptop sized) then maybe not. If they’re the full sized 3.5" HDDs, they need their own external PSU.
Fair.
Remote HTTPS connections through stremio are going to need some sort of certificate; it’s likely you’ll have to run a reverse proxy through caddy or something to let people easily access it from the outside.
For friends - I set them up a user on jellyfin and point them at media.mydomain.com and they get … essentially a netflix interface. I tell them their username and password, and they just use it like plex/netflix.
I provided the link - if you want to be disingenuous that is your prerogative.
Private tracker torrents are still visible to the public. Just because it’s not on THAT particular website, doesn’t mean that someone isn’t on that private tracker leaking all the data. Bittorrent is not a private protocol.
What you’re saying isn’t correct, at least for properly configured private trackers and clients.
That’s exactly what I said it’s for “to check and make sure your configuration is correct”. (here: https://old.lemmy.world/comment/7654711) I used it in the past and found out my split tunnel was leaking info on the DHT. It can help others make sure they aren’t leaking data too.
You’re a fucking moron my man. It’s a site for checking if your IP can be seen by the public for torrenting. If you don’t torrent, or if you’re properly setup through your VPN, nothing shows up. If you are leaking torrenting data to the public, this guy catalogs it and if it sees any of that public data it’ll show you what you’ve been torrenting – this same data is available to hollywood and they use it to issue C&Ds, warnings through your ISP, etc.
It’s a site that simply catalogues every IP address seen on the DHT. If you’re torrenting, and you’re leaking that data publicly, this site simply compares it.
https://www.godaddy.com/whois/results.aspx?domain=iknowwhatyoudownload.com
The site is registered through godaddy, and claims of it being a Russian site is simply meant as a scare tactic. Any website you connect to without a VPN immediately knows your IP address anyways - it’s not some sacred thing you have to protect against people knowing.
Hell, if you’re concerned with it - plug your VPNs IP into it; you’ll see the torrents that others on the VPN are seeding from the IP address you’re using.
If you’re using it on mobile, it’s not likely that anyone is torrenting on mobile, so unless someone is really doing dumb shit - it’s not likely it’ll list anything. It’s a useful tool to have under your belt to see if your bittorrent client is leaking data.
https://iknowwhatyoudownload.com/en/peer/ – Plug your IP into that. Private tracker torrents are still visible to the public.
I’ve replaced reconnaissance commands (a handful of them found here: https://www.cybrary.it/blog/linux-commands-used-attackers) – whoami, uname, id, uptime, last, etc
With shell scripts which run the command but also send me a notification via pushover. I’m running several internet-facing services, and the moment those get run because someone is doing some sleuthing inside the machine, I get notified.
It doesn’t stop people getting in, I’ve set up other things for that – but on the off chance that there is some zero-day that I don’t know about yet, or they’ve traversed the network laterally somehow, the moment they run one of those commands, I know to kill-switch the entire thing.
The thing is, security is an on-going process. Leave any computer attached to the internet long enough and it’ll be gotten into. I don’t trust being able to know every method that can be used, so I use this as a backup.
Honestly, I installed Ombi, so friends can request movies - and gave them all jellyfin logins as well. I’m not running any kind of pay-for service, I’m just giving them access to my library. Additionally, my kids will sometimes spend the night at friends, etc - and their friend won’t have an anime, or a crunchyroll subscription, so they’ll pull it up on jellyfin. It’s easy to remember for them because it’s just jellyfin.mydomain.com
They don’t know anything about how the backend gets the movies/tv shows, just that they go to ombi, and it shows up on jellyfin if they want something ;)
Very nice setup imho. Quite a bit more complicated than mine - mine is basically just the left box without being behind a VPS or anything. I don’t expose anything through Caddy except Jellyfin. I’m also running fail2ban in front of my services, so that if it gets hit with too many 404s because someone is poking around, they get IP banned for 30d
ARK:SE is like this - a guy hijacked the steam stuff in the background, and the game allows unofficial self-hosted servers. The server and the client both have to have the hack, but multiplayer is available.
Generally multiplayer will not be available in games where it relies on a matchmaking service, or you’re not allowed to host 3rd party servers.
Enshrouded’s voxel terrain and build system is really amazing, tbh. I’m not so sure their storyline or gameplay loop is great just yet. I’ve got a couple of friends that play it, but I couldn’t afford it just yet. I’ll probably pick it up in a couple of days if I can manage to muster up the cash. So far Palworld has taken me off of ARK: Survival Ascended - which I got gifted to me. So I’ve been pretty happy not dealing with Wildcard’s bullshit. Other than that, my other entertainment is pirated switch games.
I think overall Enshrouded might end up holding more of my attention in the long run. Palworld’s max cap is like level 50 and it seems pretty linear of a grind. I expect in 2 weeks or so I’ll be done with it.
If you make less than $30 in a week, you likely aren’t on lemmy. I won’t go into how much I make, but I probably make less than 99% of people on here. Difference being how I managed my money when I did have it so I set myself up to not have to pay rent, power, etc. Most things I do are pre-paid a year in advance to save money (for example, did you know you can get smartphone service for like $150 for the whole year?)
I’m kinda weirded out by all the people suggesting a VPN here.
Like – if you’re hosting Nextcloud, Jellyfin, etc and you want friends/family to use it, having them VPN into shit is a hurdle that none of them are going to overcome.
You need to make sure you’re not behind CGNAT first, if not, don’t use Nextcloud on port 80, put it on another port, and then open that port to the outside world.
Just be aware, you REALLY want these things to be isolated from your home environment if you’re going to host them, and you NEED to be on some sort of CVE notification list for the software you currently use. Not all CVEs are “YOU MUST UPGRADE NOW”, but some of them can be pretty severe.
I’ve set up fail2ban on my isolated network, and it does a pretty good job of banning any IPs that are probing for things. So much so that I’ve accidentally locked myself out of my own network a few times, lol
IF you ARE behind a CGNAT - what you’ll want to do is likely rent the cheapest VPS you can find, and then set up a VPN not on the VPS, but on your home network, and have the VPS be your public entry point to the network, as it will have a public facing IP and can mask your home IP address. – https://github.com/fractalnetworksco/selfhosted-gateway
Edit: THEN - once you’ve accomplished all that, you’ll probably want to buy a domain name, and reverse-proxy subdomains to forward to the services on specific ports.
3 rules for backups:
I keep a backup on an array of RAIDZ disks. I keep a second copy on a very large hard disk; one that is powered down 99% of the time.
And I keep another at the in-laws house that I can upload to remotely.
