CountVon , (edited ) to piracy in Alternative/manual way to fix cloudflare-locked trackers on Prowlarr
@CountVon@sh.itjust.works avatar

I think you’re referring to FlareSolverr. If so, I’m not aware of a direct replacement.

Main issue is it’s heavy on resources (I have an rpi4b)

FlareSolverr does add some memory overhead, but otherwise it’s fairly lightweight. On my system FlareSolverr has been up for 8 days and is using ~300MB:


<span style="color:#323232;">NAME           CPU %     MEM USAGE
</span><span style="color:#323232;">flaresolverr   0.01%     310.3MiB
</span>

Note that any CPU usage introduced by FlareSolverr is unavoidable because that’s how CloudFlare protection works. CloudFlare creates a workload in the client browser that should be trivial if you’re making a single request, but brings your system to a crawl if you’re trying to send many requests, e.g. DDOSing or scraping. You need to execute that browser-based work somewhere to get past those CloudFlare checks.

If hosting the FlareSolverr container on your rpi4b would put it under memory or CPU pressure, you could run the docker container on a different system. When setting up Flaresolverr in Prowlarr you create an indexer proxy with a tag. Any indexer with that tag sends their requests through the proxy instead of sending them directly to the tracker site. When Flaresolverr is running in a local Docker container the address for the proxy is localhost, e.g.:

https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/ee511579-d477-4275-9959-4dee3a18e15e.png

If you run Flaresolverr’s Docker container on another system that’s accessible to your rpi4b, you could create an indexer proxy whose Host is “http://<other_system_IP>:8191”. Keep security in mind when doing this, if you’ve got a VPN connection on your rpi4b with split tunneling enabled (i.e. connections to local network resources are allowed when the tunnel is up) then this setup would allow requests to these indexers to escape the VPN tunnel.

On a side note, I’d strongly recommend trying out a Docker-based setup. Aside from Flaresolverr, I ran my servarr setup without containers for years and that was fine, but moving over to Docker made the configuration a lot easier. Before Docker I had a complex set of firewall rules to allow traffic to my local network and my VPN server, but drop any other traffic that wasn’t using the VPN tunnel. All the firewall complexity has now been replaced with a gluetun container, which is much easier to manage and probably more secure. You don’t have to switch to Docker-based all in go, you can run hybrid if need be.

If you really don’t want to use Docker then you could attempt to install from source on the rpi4b. Be advised that you’re absolutely going offroad if you do this as it’s not officially supported by the FlareSolverr devs. It requires install an ARM-based Chromium browser, then setting some environment variables so that FlareSolverr uses that browser instead of trying to download its own. Exact steps are documented in this GitHub comment. I haven’t tested these steps, so YMMV. Honestly, I think this is a bad idea because the full browser will almost certainly require more memory. The browser included in the FlareSolverr container is stripped down to the bare minimum required to pass the CloudFlare checks.

If you’re just strongly opposed to Docker for whatever reason then I think your best bet would be to combine the two approaches above. Host the FlareSolverr proxy on an x86-based system so you can install from source using the officially supported steps.

merthyr1831 OP ,

Appreciate the detailed info here. Honestly does sound like Docker is the way to do it properly.

thanks for the info! :)

paddirn , to nostupidquestions in Why doesn't Mongolia simply arrest Putin?

Their army size and military spending is a fraction of Russia’s, plus economic ties and nukes existing. Although now would be probably one of the best times to go against Russia militarily, since they’re stretched pretty thin at the moment, I doubt Mongolia would be the one to do it.

Same. I remember wanting to try my friend's coleco but it never happened for some reason I don't recall.

giantofthenorth , to games in How to decide what kind of controller one should purchase?

Never buy a PS4/5 or switch controller they are all overpriced garbage they intentionally make for ewaste landfills in 2-4 years.

I really like my gulikit king Kong 2 and they made a elite controller style one with the 3rd version so I’d recommend that. They’re hall effect joysticks which feel real nice and are easy to repair and customize.

TropicalDingdong , to asklemmy in Is there a name for the mid point between high and low tides?

Yeah idk. I spend a inordinate amount of time talking about tides and watching them, but generally only high and low are focused on because the midtide is when the water is changing the fastest. The water spends more time at high or low than it does I. the middle, so it’s not really noticable.

Trabic OP ,

I grew up on the coast, so I never really thought about tides just that that was the way it was. Then I married someone from a landlocked country and every time we drive over the bridge over the cove near our house I comment when the tide is high or low since they are used to lakes, and I’m never quite sure what to say when it’s in the middle.

Treczoks ,

I didn’t grow up at the coast, but I learned about the tides the hard way (we found a nice place at the beach at low tide, and had to seriously hurry to get everything to safety). That taught me about tides.

Last year we were visiting a coastal town in the UK, and I had checked the tide table beforehand so I could always tell my wife and our friend about the current state. Sadly, we never had the time to see the beach or the port there - whenever we had time, it was already dark.

Trabic OP ,

Growing up, we had a game called “fight the tide” where we would build sand castles in the intertidal zone with a stick in the peak of the castle. Last stick standing wins a chocolate bar.

I wasn’t aware they refederated, when did that happen?

Ah, you meant Hexbear and Blahaj with each other, gotcha.

Hexbear defederated Blahaj and they remain defederated.

P4ulin_Kbana ,

Why though?

Cowbee , (edited )
@Cowbee@lemmy.ml avatar

Here’s the original defederation thread on Hexbear.

Generally, Blahaj and Hexbear disagree on what constitutes a chaser and thus Hexbear felt that Blahaj was not defending against chasers as well as they should, Blahaj moderators and admins were hostile towards Hexbear users, moderators, and admins, and general friction between the two instances. Additionally, some Blahaj moderators were ableist, using derogetory terminology such as “braindead” to refer to Hexbear users in removing their comments, as well as removing Hexbear users calling out ableism.

WldFyre ,

some Blahaj moderators were ableist, using derogetory terminology such as “braindead”

Honest question, why is “braindead” ableist? I don’t think that the term is used to discriminate against, uh, dead people lol

Cowbee ,
@Cowbee@lemmy.ml avatar

Some people disagree, though IMO it is ultimately ableist.

The term “braindead” originates from braindeath, a mental condition, and can also be taken in similar contexts to the “R-word.”

Simmy ,

The original series Quantum Leap used the R-word referring to people with mental difficulties not as an insult. I understand today times have changed and used as a slur. Still used in medication today, meaning slow release tablets.

davel ,

It is not.

meaning slow release tablets.

That’s a different context.

braindeath isn’t just a mental condition though. It’s death
