I’m not a fan of YouTube’s audio compression algorithm (optimized for saving google’s bandwidth but sounds awful on higher fidelity audio setups). If quality is a concern, I can’t recommend slskd enough
Indeed. Western portrayals of Jesus are likely historically inaccurate, it’s more probable that he was dark skinned
The pi zero is good for small projects that don’t require a lot of compute, however I personally haven’t found it to be useful in a self-hosted context. Unless you really don’t care about performance, the low specs make it unsuitable for hosting most of the services you listed above
This. Also lawyers are expensive, and hiring a team of experienced lawyers is even more so. A bean counter probably crunched the numbers and found it would be more cost effective to settle now than to fight it out/ run the risk of losing (in which case they may also have to pay for the plantiff’s legal fees)
I don’t think that’s necessarily a bad thing. The unfortunate reality is that any sufficiently large software project with a lot of engineers touching the code is going to have bugs. At least someone at Apple is trying to fix these as opposed to ignoring/pretending they don’t exist
“Hacking” can be as easy as running some script you found online to prowl for vulnerable systems. This doesn’t take a lot of creativity. A lot of people/businesses/governments don’t practice good security hygiene (e.g. apply security patches as soon as they’re available) and end up getting popped by skiddies. I’d be more impressed if these Russian “hackers” could consistently repel attacks, but a simple google search suggests that they are struggling to defend their own turf
Millions of people use beautifulsoup4, but most probably don’t realize that a core library that powers it, soupsieve, is effectively maintained by one person. In the spirit of the xkcd you linked, Isaac Muse could probably use some funding
gluetun bundles a control server on port 8000 which you can query for the port number (don’t worry about openvpn
being in the url path, it still works with Wireguard). In my bash script (running on the host system), I use curl
to retrieve the forwarded port number and then do a POST with that data to the API of my qbt client which is running in another container on port 8080.
There’s a reason why most providers don’t allow that feature anymore
Yes, cheese pizza
It’s said that port forwarding is a security risk
Says who? Assuming a fully patched system/client and a properly configured firewall/network, I’d love to hear more about these “risks”.
Also, qBitTorrent works just fine without it.
Only if you don’t care about seeding
Based. I use gluetun with qbt and ProtonVPN (with port forwarding). Despite this being a tricky config, it was still pretty easy to setup. Can share bash scripts if anyone is interested.
I’m personally a big fan of bore. It’s easy to setup/use and there’s a free public instance operated by the developer.
Here’s a link to the PR for anyone who’s interested
Glad to see progress on this topic. Pretty sure microplastics will be our generation’s lead.
This. I switched over to protonvpn, but I’d switch back in a heartbeat if Mullvad re-enables port forwarding.
Oh yeah don’t get me wrong I love nicotine+ too! I figured I’d link to slskd since this is the selfhosted community after all 🙃
