Kodi, Seren add-on and a debrid provider like Premiumize gets me better service than any streaming provider. Multiple source streams on any show in the last couple decades and every movie way earlier than is available from any source I’ve ever seen. If its not available as a cached stream, I can queue a torrent file at their end and stack them up until I’m ready to watch it, but I’ve rarely had to do that.
I just shake my head at people that think if you’re spinning out on the ice, just press the throttle harder. Fucking idiots.
True. I’ve done that command for so long that I’ve kinda gotten gzip hardwired into my fingers.
Packet loss is primarily a CRC thing. You might get 99% of a packet, but it fails the error check so it’s dropped and re-requested.
Going over 300 just limits you on speed after errors
Throw a distro like Nobara or Bazzite on and see what you get. You might have it optimized quite well, but chances are that the kernel version is far enough behind that many of the graphics tweaks aren’t compatible. nVidia open drivers have come a long way in a very short time, and they rely on newer kernels.
You should just be able to shrink a partition and dual boot between distros, or put another drive in and use that.
I’ve hosted NC for a decade, and the AIO was the first method that doesn’t make me dread updates. And I’ve used pretty much every method of installing it over the years, everything sucked.
I snapshotted every time before and update because I knew it was a crapshoot whether the update was going to crater the system, and I’d roll back and wait for a working update to come out. Before snapshotting, I had to fix borked updates about every second time.
I thought I was being smart this way, then realized my bank charged me about $2/cheque when I bought a book of them, but only 1.50 for an interac transfer…
I mean, I’ve done all this at various times. Maybe not to grab provisions, but to go get a coffee.
Ewwww
Get a working visa in AU’s or Canada, stretch it out and in the 5th year when the concentration camps and gas chambers are in full swing, there should be a refugee visa available.
Awesome Open Source youtube channel isn’t bad. He’s fairly good at explaining a lot of the concepts. I wouldn’t say I’d use everything he recommends but he gives you enough info to make some judgement calls.
I’d also highly recommend the Selfhosted podcast from Jupiter Broadcasting. Alex, the main host is with Tailscale these days, but don’t let that put you off, he’s been doing the podcast (and recommending Tailscale) since long before he started working with them. I imagine there’s a YT channel for the show, but I’ve only ever listened to the podcast.
Also, 2.5 Admins from Late Night Linux group of podcasts has Jim Salter and Alan Jude, both long time sysadmins and developers that have a lot to talk about that’s of interest to self-hosters and professionals alike.
I’d also highly recommend getting boned up on basic Docker usage, and would point you towards starting right from the beginning to use docker compose with local bind mounts, and ignore these one-line docker commands to start containers. There are helper apps like Lazydocker to assist using Docker from the command line. While you can use GUI apps like Portainer, honestly you’ll just end up more confused than pasting stuff into a compose file and watching it with Lazydocker.
And feel free to ping me if you get confused, I’ve helped a few people sort out what they want to accomplish and point them the least-effort direction, or at least what I consider such.
Try to stay away from exposing applications via proxy or port forwarding. Learn how to use Tailscale and use applications via VPN instead. It installs on any pretty much any device, so it’s not difficult to keep everyone behind the walls and not leave any backdoors for the barbarians.
I’d probably dd it straight on to the drive, but I’m sure you could get it to go to New Orleans and play the Macarana before it came back if you used enough pipes.
dd if=/dev/sda0 conv=sync,noerror bs=128K status=progress | gzip -c file.gz
You can add an additional pipe in there if you need to ssh it to another machine if you don’t have room on the original.
It would be interesting to decompile their APK and see how much of OPs code is in it.
Every time I’ve smelled it, my butt hurt afterwards.
The only streamer I’ve ever paid for was Netflix but I only got a few years out of that before it became easier to pirate again. Frankly, the Arr suite is a pain in the ass compared to the above method.
