  • You might use LDAP, but its total overkill.

    I have not yet worked jellyfin with authelia, but its more or less the last piece and I don't really care so far if its left out.

    A good reverse proxy with https is mandatory, so start with that one. I mean, from all point of views, not login.

    I have all my services behing nginx, then authelia linked to nginx. Some stuff works only with basic auth. Most works with headers anyway, so natively with authelia. Some bitches don't, so I disable authelia for them. Annoying, but I have only four users so there is not much to keep in sync.

  • They actually do, i am down the same path recently and installing authelia was the best choice I made. Still working on it.

    But most stvies support either basic auth, headers auth, oidc or similar approaches. Very few don't.

  • Ok, I have a web browser on a locked down device and nothing else: how do I print a pdf or a photo using IPP?

    I have: a camera, a browser, a file manager (kind of, think of an iPhone or some stock android business device) and I need to print a photo taken with the camera or a pdf file sent to me via email or WhatsApp?

    The device is connected to the WiFi guest network with limited internet access (if any) and as only available service a server with port 443 open (a reverse proxy on that, captive portal and such).

    In my experience, there is no way to print via cups in this configuration. Maybe I am wrong?

  • It still requires the device to be capable to print...

    And the user to find the printer select it and so on. And must expose more ports on the network beside 443...

    So, indeed cups is a great solution, but not to the problem I want to solve.

    I do use cups in fact for the trusted part of the network, driverless printing for windows and Linux. Android doesn't even need cups since it picks up the printer directly from the printer itself (AirPrint or whatevee that's called).

  • I known cups can share printers and queues.

    What is unclear?

    I don't want to pull drivers or install cups on devices. I want to print from anywhere just uploading a file to a web page.

    If I have lots of devices or just want to let somebody print from his phone/tablet without installing or configuring anything...

    With cups I still need to touch the system or the device somehow to let it print.

  • Yes, this is what I am afraid of... There is nothing out there for this task.

    Hope to find something or maybe try to create something using lpr on the background... But this is the las hope as I have little time.

  • I want to print from a web page: upload the file, hit print button.

    In this way I can print from whatever device I want even without any driver installed or configuration.

  • Yes, sure I am... Would probably prefer a bash CGI because I like challenges :)

    (Author and such would be managed by my reverse proxy)

    But I would prefer something already baked if it exist

  • You get a real IP? Its been cg-nat with every provider for the last many many years in Italy.

    I got a cheap vps and just run some reverse tunnels to map ports from it to my home server going trough my cg-nat.

  • Mmmm no? Seems it works

  • Don't. Backup data, reinstall software.

    Answer.

  • No, because i did it over long time since I encoded only during the day hours and a few episodes at a time.

    I can say that I fit a good 30% more episodes in the same space, but at the same time I also have added movies and reduces sizes too, so hard to tell reasonably.

    I can say that all my collection was mostly h264 before.

  • Not angry in general.

    If the question is what does enrages me, an answer is probably human stupidity. Or the idea that we have just better than animals. We aren't, we are just like animals, but with the potential to be so much more. Then comes human stupidity... Well.

  • i am well over 40 and still play games. The "problem" is that gaming now compete with lots of more important stuff like: kids, family, dogs, home repairs, sport activity, wife, work, errands to run, and sure I am leaving out many.

    So, forget sitting on a computer or console for even half hour. I consume quick mobile games, where reflexes are not decisive (that's age, thanks).

    I even bought a real Nintendo DS Lite with the cracked cartridge to load games on microssd, and my kid loves it, but even New Super Mario Bros takes too long between saves for the free time I have, so you get the idea.

    Would I still do hours gaming sessions even if I could? No, too many hobbies and ideas that pop up all the time to work on... Maybe this is because I cannot for the sake of life get closed to modern games. AAA are cashgrabs, indie require too much time researching them, and anyway I need mobile gaming, that sucks overall.

  • Maybe I have a different point of view here, but I have actively converted all my TV series to AV1 and will probably to the same to most of my movies.

    The space saving is huge, and the quality is identical to my eyes and hardware. True that storage is cheaper than ever, but this is not a reason valid to waste it anyway.

    I have only 6TB of storage for my media and the power needed to run additional disks would only be waste on the long run, and so buying new bogger disks would be a waste for stuff I don't wantch often (more like hoarding than...).

    So AV1 is the way. Software encoding is the best quality, I have heard, rather than hardware encoding. As for playback, I have a fire stick with AV1 support that works flawlessly, so.

    Edit: I have FV at home, so converting to AV1 during daylight is actually free for me.

  • I am not sure that checking the time in the watch instead of on phone counts as reducing phone usage...

    But anyway, any "smart" watch will not help you as they all need a phone app.

    Get a cheapo analog watch, in that case...

  • Ho fatto anche una donazione, che mi sembra il minimo visto l'impegno e il lavoro!

    Anche se uso solo lemmy, mi spiegate la differenza con friendica?

  • Madó, davvero? Non è già Aprile?

    Beh, auguroni e alla grande!

  • Mostly any modern mobile game. Piles of shit with p2w and gambling addictive mechanics that aren't fun but stressful...
