Chrome Remote Desktop works well and doesn't require a monitor (at least not one that's turned on).

Need advice on remote management of a Jellyfin server and Qbittorrent.

Some background. I set up a Jellyfin server for my family to host TV shows and movies for them for free. I finally had enough of Xfinity and switched to T-Mobile 5G home internet, but in doing so, I lost the ability to control my network’s port forwarding. I’m spending literally half the previous amount on internet and...

Maybe when IPv6 is widely available, we'll stop seeing this... For now, it sucks, but IPv4 blocks are expensive. Price or external IPv4, something's gotta give.

mr47 ,

Quite a few unexpected results here...

  1. I'm surprised the C binary is not the smallest, and it's outdone by Pascal, of all languages.
  2. The speed/energy difference between Java and C# (almost a factor of 2 in favor of Java).
  3. The relatively good performance of JavaScript compared to other loosely typed multi-paradigm scripting languages.
  4. The difference between C# and F#. That's actually a good reason to question the accuracy of these tests and results.
mr47 ,

I haven't looked into the details of the actual code, but I would expect the compiler optimizations and JIT to figure it all out and end up with very similar native code. Especially since both languages are mature and had enough time to reach such goals. But it's quite possible my assumptions are incorrect.

Good server OS for Jellyfin

I want to make a server for hosting media through Jellyfin, and maybe some Nextcloud functionality. I prefer to use containers, but something like TrueNAS’ extensions/plugins sound good as well. This is my first server, so I don’t know what to choose. My possible options are:...

mr47 ,

Everybody is so quick to suggest Debian (and it's a fine choice), but Alpine is great for such things, as well. It's blazing fast, frequently updated, has most packages you could ever want in a server environment (not that it matters if you're planning on using containers). I've been using Alpine for years as my docker host, and not once have I thought "man, I wish it was debian instead".

mr47 ,

I upgrade as soon as new versions come out, I like living on the edge :) if something goes wrong, there are backups.

As for musl, I haven't mentioned it since OP wants to run containers - and in that case, musl doesn't matter. And for running programs natively, many are available as packages (with any musl incompatibilities already resolved). But yeah, if you venture outside these limits, you can definitely run into issues with musl.

Server Hardware?

Hey, I want to dip my feet into self-hosting, but i find the hardware side of things very daunting. I want to self host a Minecraft server (shocking, i know), and i’ve actually done this before both on my own PC and through server hosts. I’d like to run a Plex server as well (Jellyfin is champ now it sounds like? So maybe...

mr47 ,

That is a complete overkill. You don't need a cluster of Proxmox nodes for personal hosting. And you certainly don't need a 24-port switch.

mr47 ,

Look at the video posted by no other than Al Jazeera (find it yourself, so you don't say I'm providing you with fake videos). You can clearly see a rocket launched, exploding in mid-air, and the explosion at the hospital, located underneath, shortly thereafter.

mr47 ,

I mean, one side targets civilians and sees civilian casualties as achievements. Another side targets military infrastructure located inside civilian territory, and sees civilian casualties as collateral damage. Saying both sides are the same is either ignorance, or malicious misinformation.

mr47 ,

Israel: you have 24 hours to leave

Hospital: we aren't going anywhere

Time: 24 hours... 48 hours... 72 hours...

Hamas: hey, we have rockets in that hospital, let's launch one!

Rocket: launch failed, kaboom!

Hamas: Israel bombed the hospital!

World: Israel is performing war crimes!

mr47 ,

So, basically: people performed atrocities. Are they evil? Maybe they are, maybe they aren't, the BBC has no idea whether it is evil to perform atrocities. Right.

mr47 ,

Are you seriously comparing a group that openly targets civilians, hiding in civilian infrastructure, with a group that retaliates? Good luck coming up with a response that matches your standards when your country is under a rocket barrage. The double standards people develop when sitting in the safety of their home and regurgitating biased news... It's thanks to people like you that this conflict thrives, because extremists from both sides use the lies you spread to their advantage.

mr47 ,

Emm... Attacking civilians is, by definition, terrorizing citizens. On the other hand, apartheid is something you should read about, study its definition, and what exactly happens in Israel, and then think whether it's the correct use of the word.

Hamas surprise attack out of Gaza stuns Israel and leaves hundreds dead in fighting, retaliation (apnews.com)

Hamas militants fired thousands of rockets and sent dozens of fighters into Israeli towns near the Gaza Strip in an unprecedented surprise early morning attack during a major Jewish holiday Saturday, killing dozens and stunning the country. Israel said it is now at war with Hamas and launched airstrikes in Gaza, vowing to...

mr47 ,

In Israel. Hamas infiltrated Israel, reached towns as far as 10 miles from the border, and started shooting at civilians and taking them hostages. The hostages were transferred back into Gaza. There are no Israeli settlements inside Gaza borders since 2006.

    Huh, so basically, if somebody gives you an Iron Dome installation, and then I start shooting rockets at you, you are going to shrug it off? You are a hypocrite, debating about stuff you clearly know very little about (from reading biased news sources, no doubt).

    Hamas infiltrated Israeli territory and started shooting down unarmed civilians. You can be as peace-loving as you want (I, too, think Israel could've done more to progress peace with Palestinians), but to sum it up as (Hammas isn't blameless, but Israel is responsible because it has more firepower is idiotic at best.

    What's happening right now is murder of innocent people, clear as day. If you want to seek excuses for the perpetrators, something is really wrong with you.

    mr47 ,

    Ah, the sweet sweet taste of anti-Israel propaganda... How long have you been drinking that?

    mr47 ,

    The story here is very selectively presented to suit the points made by OP. So either OP is creating propaganda, or creating new propaganda. So are you, when you are talking about "well documented atrocities" out of context.

    mr47 ,

    Ironically, all the variations you mentioned do not have the gift part, except for the letter 'n' :)

    They all originate from Johnathan, which in Hebrew means, literally "God gave", the "Joh" part meaning "God", and "Nathan" meaning "gave".

    mr47 ,

    I've tried twice to listen to it so far, but no luck. I am planning to try again, though. I got further on the 2nd attempt.

    mr47 ,

    Possible - but I've been listening to audiobooks instead of reading for years now. It's much easier to find the time to listen to an audiobook rather than sitting down to read a book. Don't see it changing in the near future...

    higher wages for the servers... by the customers. Fnbs (lemmy.world)

    Went to a restaurant in LA today and when I got the check I noticed that it was a bit higher than it should be. Then I noticed this 18% service charge. So… We, as customers, need to help pay for their servers instead of the owners paying their servers a living wage. And on top of that they have suggested tip. I called bs on...

    mr47 ,

    And that is why in some places in the world, service fee is illegal.

    A custom made Google Sheet to track everything - maintenance, repairs, insurance, and fuel ups. I'd like to move to an app that supports all of the above, but getting everything into an importable format was messy (tried it with Fuelio), and I gave up after a while. The fact that I'm also writing down parts purchased prior to installation does not make this easier.

    My plan is to try and convert it all into plaintext accounting format (probably Beancont with a tailor-made plugin), but so far I've been mostly kicking that ball down the street.

    Nearly two years after Texas' six-week abortion ban, more infants are dying (www.cnn.com)

    Some 2,200 infants died in Texas in 2022 – an increase of 227 deaths, or 11.5%, over the previous year, according to preliminary infant mortality data from the Texas Department of State Health Services that CNN obtained through a public records request. Infant deaths caused by severe genetic and birth defects rose by 21.6%....

    mr47 ,

    The thing is, if the number of abortions prevented was higher than 2,200 - as far as pro-lifers are concerned, it's a win...

    mr47 ,

    No, it absolutely uses a Linux kernel.

    mr47 ,

    Your screenshot does not really show anything other than the fact that Ally attempts a connection to Facebook (it's not even clear how it was blocked). You can see the amount of people telling you to unblock NTP, which you stated isn't blocked - that's a clear sign that you haven't presented you data in an easy to review format.

    Why not show what exactly is blocked by the firewall, how the rules are configured, and disabling which rule exactly gets the app to work? E.g., if you block Facebook by redirecting to your own HTTP server that responds, the app may decide to bork because of a failed certificate validation - resolve the Facebook domain as NXDOMAIN in your DNS, and see if that helps.

    The fact that they use Facebook APIs is infuriating, regardless.

    Android TV should handle HDR automatically (and tonemap it if needed).

    Green and pink tint sounds like the source is Dolby Vision, not HDR10. So, 2 questions:

    1. Why do you need HDR sources if your displays don't support HDR?
    2. Assuming the answer to (1) is that you're future-proofing, why not just get HDR10 files instead of Dolby Vision?
    mr47 ,

    Not sure what Linux ISOs are, but it's pretty rare that something is only available with Dolby Vision and not HDR10. Have you verified that HDR10 gives you trouble? 4K HDR is also usually HDR10, unless specifically marked as DV, in my experience.

    Anyway, another option, if you don't care for HDR, is to transcode/tonemap everything in the background. This way, you don't have to worry about performance during playback.

    mr47 ,

    Ah. Sarcasm is difficult to see in text based communication.

    mr47 ,

    Hear me out. Why don't we create a paywalled API for 3rd party apps (like Threads), that will end up costing, say, $20 million annually to use at Meta's rate... And then use the proceeds to keep all the instances running, and for other shenanigan.

    mr47 ,

    That awesomebudget looks nice! I'm more of a beancont/fava guy, and too invested in my setup to try something vastly different - but it sure looks like a cool option for people starting out.

    mr47 ,

    That's a really nice setup! I run most of my things on a docker swarm (the docker hosts are VMs running on Proxmox hosts), though that was an overkill in retrospect, and causes more problems with no practical advantages.

    The range of services I run is similar to yours, but I also have a bunch of services for personal finance (beancont/fava, as well as automatic importers and such), a more extensive media setup (with qBitTorrent and *arr apps), a gitea server, and a vaultwarden instance.
