Interesting. I’ve had a worse experience with my music library because of how Navidrome didn’t support multi artist tags properly until recently. But while writing this comment, I checked again and they merged it in 0.55.0!
So I’d recommend giving Navidrome a try too. Symfonium is a great client.
Imo open sourcing is not necessary, as that is unrealistic depending on the licensing of libraries etc. Just distributing the server and making it possible to selfhost would be enough.
Or, built local network play in to the game itself (although this requires most of the work necessary for creating a selfhostable server anyway).
Some game servers, some ISPs don’t provide IPv6 for (some of) their customers.
Yeah it’s so sad seeing studio after studio being closed down. So many commenters thought Microsoft will revive old IPs after buying studio after studio.
Now it seems like those IPs will just rot at Microsoft in their intellectual property graveyard.
Sadly they’ve gone up in price over the last 6 months.
Mindfactory had 16TB for 160€ (10€/TB), but now they want 240€ for 18TB (13.3€/TB).
On eBay there’s sellers like HMCW, which are now also more expensive. But returns/warranty are questionable to say the least.
Edit: I wanna punch myself because I didn’t get one at the time.
Billboard ads can cost hundreds of thousands depending on the location and duration (e.g. Times Square, NY). TV ads, YT ads, streaming services ads, and search engine ads likely add up too. Big streamers will likely take quite a bit too. Maybe they’ll do a press conference to promote their game, which can be incredibly expensive location-wise.
But I agree, I can’t comprehend how it can be that expensive either.
Don’t forget marketing: be it movies or games, marketing likes to cost as much as the production of the media itself.
Sadly it seems to be necessary as many people just won’t know about some piece of media without it. Streamers play games they are paid to play, “reviewers” cover games they are paid to cover or know about through the hype generated by ads.
Yes, even IPv4 was intended to give each device in the world their own IP, but the address space is too limited. IPv6 fixes that.
Actually, each device usually has multiple IPv6s, and only some/one are globally routable, i.e. it works outside of your home network. Finding out which one is global is a bit annoying sometimes, but it can be done.
Usually routers still block incoming traffic for security reasons, so you still have to open ports in your router.
If you go with IPv6, all your devices/servers have their own IP. These IPs are valid in your LAN as well a externally.
But it’s still important to use a reverse proxy (e.g. for TLS).
Many places don’t enforce those laws for simply torrenting.
Some countries (US) ask the ISP to send warning letters and might disable the internet. In other countries law firms get personal details from the ISP and send a costly letter of a thousand Euro for a single infraction like in Germany.
I would ideally like to convert the library to h.265 or even AV1 if I can make it work.
Unless you’ve downloaded remuxes (which I doubt), I’d seriously recommend redownloading instead of converting your existing files.
h.265 and especially AV1 take a long time to encode by CPU, and hardware encoding won’t give you any space savings, unless you’re okay with losing much details.
Redownloading is most definitely faster, will result in more space savings for the quality you’ll get. PS: Unless you’ve got data volume limits, but even then I’d recommend slowly upgrading over time. It’s quite simple with TRaSH guides and giving h.265 a higher score.
NixOS in LXC works great, although I switched to bare metal NixOS a few months ago. I didn’t see the need for proxmox as it hindered my ability of declaring the whole system.
Creating NixOS LXC’s is a bit of a pita. Some links that helped me two years ago:
It’s great to see another open source OIDC provider (with more features). I’ve set up Pocket ID which is awesome because of it’s simplicity and it’s great.
I found the guide/examples on their website a bit irritating at first (that’s on me) but it works well once understood and configured.
Yes. 127.0.0.0 is the localhost. This is the IP the container is listening on. Even if there was no firewall it wouldn’t allow any connection except from the host. If it’s set to 0.0.0.0 it means it’ll allow connections from any IP (which might not be an issue depending on your setup).
The reverse proxy runs on localhost anyway, so any other IPs have no reason to ever have access.
It’s mostly to allow the reverse proxy on localhost to connect to the container/service, while blocking all other hosts/IPs.
This is especially important when using docker as it messes with iptables and can circumvent firewall like e.g. ufw.
You’re right that it doesn’t increase security on case of a compromised container. It’s just about outside connections.
Some I haven’t yet found in this thread:
127.0.0.1:8080:8080)I do the same, but with Wireguard instead of OpenVPN. The performance is much better in my experience and it sucks less battery life.
If you can solder I’d say most mice are easily fixable. The most common defect for mice are the switches, which are usually quite simple to desolder, as there aren’t any components near them.
E.g. I don’t have much experience soldering and it took me under an hour replacing both switches on the G Pro Wireless as well as the battery. I’ve bought this mouse used about 5 years ago and I wouldn’t be surprised if it lasted another 5 years.
Edit: The annoying part is the screws being below the feet, so you have to replace them after opening the mouse. But it’s all screwed in.
