  • Dozens from UK take up Putin’s offer to ditch ‘woke’ West and move to Russia

  • It's only just dozens, I mean it's 2 and a bit dozen, technically correct which is the worst kind of correct

  • If I already have a VPN always on on my system, do I need to set up a gluetun container?

    Jump

  • Yeah I know, I use Gluetun now, I was just answering OPs question.

  • Tips for streaming

    Jump

  • Back when I was a streamer I used Kodi with the add-ons (I was in a subreddit where the current good ones got posted now and then) and had a Real Debrid account.

    It was really convenient, maybe give it a go with your Pi. There's an OS you can bang on it (is it openelec? Libre-elec? Something like that) and just plug it into your TV. You'll have to work out controlling it in a convenient way, I have a little keyboard about the size of a remote with a usb dongle. It's got a little touchpad for the mouse and cost me fuck all on Amazon.

    You do have to pay for Real Debrid but it's totally worth the price and will get you used to paying for piracy.

    So the cycle goes:

    Install Kodi and play with the free streams and think it's pretty great, get frustrated because you can't watch that one thing, finally bite the bullet and get a month of Real Debrid, tell your friends how ace Real Debrid is.

    Just skip that and get Real Debrid once you have your Pi set up.

  • I think you should have a thin sheet of steel kept in your car or somewhere safe, so you can just use that like a locksmith.

  • What's the easiest way to host a music colletion (FLAC)?

    Jump

  • Plex was easy enough to set up. I use plexamp on my phone but can access the Plex server via a browser, which includes my music

  • Meh my Usenet provider also partners with a VPN provider. Still costs me £5 a month for the VPN but I may as well use it, I like having a VPN

  • Either way you're paying lots of money to watch a man sing that can't sing. At least with NOFX he wears a tutu too

    See the drowning

    Watch the fall

    I feel just terrible about it

    That's sarcasm, let it burn

    I'm gonna make a toast when it falls apart

    I'm gonna raise my glass above my heart

    Then someone shouts, "That's what they get"

    Where did all their money go?

  • In Leak, Facebook Partner Brags About Listening to Your Phone’s Microphone to Serve Ads for Stuff You Mention

    Jump

  • I had a friend bring up this very topic this weekend and I replied "What would be more creepy and more likely is that the ad giants have algorithms for working out what you'll buy that are that good that they know what you want before you do and you're just noticing how good it is"

  • [Rant] Why the fuck do entertainment industries think we've got so much disposable income?

  • I had a friend at work who said "People who pirate stuff are just as bad as burglers" to me. I had just been Burgled 2 weeks before Christmas.

    I replied "Right so I'm as bad as the smack heads that robbed my kids presents, is that what you're saying?"

    He did that thing folk do when they look like a fish breathing then tried to backtrack, but that's when he became a "work colleague" again.

  • How to avoid "things going wrong"? (Immutable distros?)

    Jump

  • Yeah I mean I get it because I was also thinking about self hosting for a long time and had a bunch of questions myself.

    The problem is that a lot of the questions were not needed, and a bunch of the other questions I answered myself by just tooling around with the stuff.

    Great comment btw, it's a good idea to have a list of the services you'd like to run, in order of importance z then work through it.

    I did that then found ways to combine a bunch of services, to the point where I had multiple stand alone VMs that are now just one for Home Assistant and second for Plex and Docker

  • How to avoid "things going wrong"? (Immutable distros?)

    Jump

  • I see a lot of posts like this and it's always people overthinking something they haven't tried to do yet.

    So my advice is to just do it.

    You may lose everything at some point in the future, Satan knows I have a few times, but because you've actually done it, you can do it again.

    Now, because you're just thinking about doing it, it seems like a massive deal because you've not gone out and done it yet.

    As for recommendations, I use a Proxmox VM with Debian and Docker. My Proxmox does backups, but my Docker compose is also a text document on my PC so I can recreate it all from scratch from that. I also have an idea what I did when I was learning how to do it, and have retained a good bit of that info so I could probably do it without either the backups or the Docker Compose, it would just take longer.

    Just do it

  • To be fair it IS their job to take the piss. It is just that they should be processing it instead of pumping it into rivers and such

  • Is It Worthwhile to Serve Video off a Server separate from my NAS?

    Jump

  • Commenting just to add "nofail" to the fstab.

    I didn't do this in Proxmox and then the drive stopped working and so did Proxmox. As a noob I ended up starting fresh and losing lots.

    After adding nofail the services start up, just without the NAS attached. Without nofail it just doesn't boot.

    Nofail for the win

  • can home assistant run on a cm3588 nas?
