seems like a fire hazard no?

ollie ,

you’ll be fine when using a VPN, just make sure it doesn’t leak. in qbittorent you can assign the network interface directly to the VPN.

or get a seedbox

downvoted by the microsoft bots tbh, windows defender will enable itself whenever it feels like it

How can I stream shows without discord?

I want to stream videos with audio on my pc to my friends. I’m on linux, and video streaming is broken on discord (no audio of the source gets shared). Looping audio through mic (Soundux) results in poor audio quality, while discord-screenaudio just provides stuttery video. Any suggestions what to do?...

Jellyfin’s sync play is not stable at all in my experience. very much not recommended for non technical people.

ollie ,

can anyone confirm this tho? havent found anything out of the ordinary with the only 2 releases on 1337x (.to that is)

ollie ,

so high quality that they go down for maintenance every Tuesday…

ollie ,

normal? not at all. Imagine if youtube went down every week, and they have way more overhead than steam

I feel like all fedi software has problematic devs, Calckey

I feel like almost every single piece of software has some problematic dev that has racism, transphobia, or both. I recently read a post about the calc key devs and sighed *facepalm. It is honestly really annoying cause I want friends to use Fedi but than you can pull up a whole laundry list of problems with the devs and it’s...

ollie ,

I don’t get it tho, if a in your eyes good person wrote Lemmy what differences does it make? are the current devs pushing their agenda in the code or whatever? it’s literally all open source

How to know how many concurrent active torrents are too many?

Thanks to this Lemmy I entered the magic world of private trackers, and now the list of torrents I keep seeding is growing by the day. How can I detect when the number of torrents is detrimental to the functioning of the network? What is a reasonable ball park estimate of active (even if “dormant”) torrents?

ollie ,

(network wise) it isn’t about number of active torrents but the amount of active connections you have in total, which is very dependent on your router, isp, vpn. but usually if they aren’t shit, and especially on a private tracker you’ll run into other bottlenecks like bandwidth, io, or whatever

ollie ,

is this a public server? would you be at risk of DDoS attacks?

ollie ,

you are the goat. thanks for making these banger extensions for youtube

ollie ,

I’d say switch vps providers, one with proper DDoS protection.

blocking regions can help but once the pipe is full there’s nothing much you can do from your side.

Is it considered bad practice to expose selfhosted services on public internet?

I see a lot of people here uses some form of remote access tool (VPN/Tailscale) to access their home network when not at home. I can’t really do this because my phone (iOS) can only activate one VPN profile at a time, and I often need this for other stuff....

ollie ,

It all just depends on how much you trust the app, and how you’ve set up things when it does go wrong. Not every container needs to be able to access other containers on the system, lan, have access to whatever folder, read/write permissions, etc

A good practice for things like vaultwarden would be to only whitelist the country/state you’re in to minimize your attack profile

fail2ban or crowdsec can also help with all the rats sniffing around

PiHole and Cookie Warnings

I'm trying to figure out how to stop having to unblock the pihole, in order to bypass cookie consent alerts. I think this is a devious new attempt by the advertising brigade to ensure that adverts are played, but more and more cookie consent blockers are not working properly if you've got an adblocker, and as I've got one at the...

alternative (superior) open source extension: github.com/cavi-au/Consent-O-Matic

Is there any way to search for communities across all Lemmy instances?

This is my first day in the Fediverse, and I’m building out my sub list in Lemmy right now. I noticed that searching for Communities only looks within the instance that I’m logged into. Is there any easy way to search across all available Lemmy servers for Communities?

ollie ,

if you go to the communities tab, and then select all instead of local, itll search for every community that the instance is federated with.

ollie ,

encrypted Rsync to a free Backblaze account. be sure to test your backups tho
