not called Brad but rather a lad, from Bradford in the UK.

Enjoys breaking apps, escooters, spam rings and sometimes bones, drones, but not my own. Because that sucks.

  • You need a VPN for everything when it comes to pirating.

  • Which i can ignore with out any issue since they have no idea who i am.

    Issues will arise if you reply to them.

    This sounds like the scare tactics they use for TV licensing here in the UK and is telling by how they change the letters to "The Occupier" after no replies to their scam.

    Knock knock knock through the day / evening when housewife's are about and they prowl like fuckers. I had the opportunity to scare one away when they didn't expect it (really didn't like the fact that however much they asked for "my name" they got a blank look) and they ain't been back for years :/

    Fuck Capita for scaring old ladies and fellow sailors.

  • The score was underrated too IMO.

    It used to grip my dad and he could never normally shut up during shows like that, but for like you say not a peep out of him for near enough a solid hour which was odd. He loved that shit ;)

  • How risky is it to run a media stack without a vpn?

    Jump

  • Depends on how you currently download your bounty, and if it's currently via torrents / public trackers like I do and you don't get angry nastygrams from your ISP (Britbong here), you're good to go?

    If not however use of a VPN is recommended and you could go one further actually and buy yourself Usenet access, which means you don't need no VPN and you're rock and roll.

    From what I recall thou you Aussies have lots of anti-pirate groups being knobheads so probably wise to hide your traffic? arrr

  • The best phones with a headphone jack - December 2024

    Jump

  • To be honest, I've used Bluetooth headphones before Android was even a thing (stupid W850i proprietary ports and all) and love them.

    However, dickhead here just put my Soundcore buds through the wash so there is argument for me having a backup which this Poco F6 is now lacking.

    It's a silly divisive topic IMO which is never gonna be solved when blog authors put out articles like the above.

    Well, I've used Newpipe for the longest time but depending on your internet connection / CGNAT'ed or, even using a VPN means it won't work unless you do sign in :/

  • I've got to be honest, FACT might keep on yammering that they're nailing these "IP" pirates in the UK but all the dodgy firestick sellers I've ever met, all the guys who have pirated since god knows how long I've never ever once heard of someone getting done over here in Britbongland?

    Worst I've had is two emails to one of the 10 email addresses BlueYonder supplied us with (yes, I've had my BY/Telewest that long....) telling me I'm naughty for torrenting two episodes of Animal Kingdom back in 2016/7. And, because they use a Gmail backend for their email stack I didn't even get notified and only noticed them because I got bored, printed them out, and rolled them around my toilet paper roll for shits and giggles.

    Seriously, is there anyone around here from this same land and heard of anyone getting "done"?

  • remotely is a challenge for me right now

    I've seen you mention this a few times and like mentioned elsewhere in here, set yourself a Tailnet up.

    It's fugging brilliant, the docs are wrote by some very clever people (note, I am best described as a copy / pasta person?) and are through, and you can use a github or even a Google account for authentication.

    Even grabbing a cheapo raspberry pi4 gives you a 1GB port (the rpi3 only has a 100Mbps rj-45 port and would still suffice for lesser needs) for your own VPN Wireguard to home, that is P2P encrypted and can be used as an Exit Node / subnet router

    ie: if you're on someone else's internet/cellular you can simply hit up your exit node to break out of any nanny filters, stop anyone else noseying at your traffic (obv bar your ISP seeing outgoing requests unless you have a another...VPN on your router), and also view and/or manage any devices on your home network/Tailnet by IP address.

    Hell, I dumped a rpi down at a family members house that is part of the "stack" so I can help out remotely but it seems someone has knocked the aerial out of the HAT again :/

    Best thing ever.

  • Open source router firmware project OpenWrt ships its own entirely repairable hardware

  • They're not services per se, but are a stack of software that you can kinda "clump" together for the lack of a better word.

    For instance I started using qbittorrent client recently instead of Transmission that I was using before as my torrent client because I can't find a way for Transmission to not download malware, and you can also do the very same with the indexer clients such as Jackett or Prowlarr which then talk to other software such as Radarr/Sonarr via API keys and is usually where most get caught out.

    Read the docs, get thoroughly confused, and probably do it in docker too as everyone says if your hardware is sufficient.

  • [SOLVED] Any of you guys solved this crap with the arrr stack downloading ".lnk" ".scr" files?

    Jump

  • Aye, I have them all from that previous discussion about it but noticed it wasn't working because noobie here didn't think of line separators.

    I wonder if there's a way of making qbit notifying users they need to be that way 🤔

    You brilliant person got it in one! Love you 😘

    Now I haven't tested which of the line separated ones blocked it, but the wildcard *.lnk didn't work when they were comma separated but do when line separated. have tested, and these are the most common so far I've seen

    *.lnk

    *.scr

    *.arj

    *.zipx

    *.exe

    *.cmd

    *.msi

    *.bat

    *.scf

    Again, 👌

  • Ya know this is a really good point and whether the network switch is managed, or unmanaged.

    I've never delved into the black magic of playing with a managed switch before but your comment makes me eager to have a play with one now.

  • edit Gli-net seems nice, but i'm a stickler of using a WAP separate from the router. I know I pay more.

    It's exactly why I bought her two of them. One their main router and the other in AP mode ;)

  • As opposed to, TP-Link, Cisco(Linksys) and other off the shelf routers it seems some will only go for brands with their own proprietary firmware?

    I grabbed that Xiaomi router on the premise it has OpenWRT, but I'd like to see Ubi / Unifi routers put under the same scrutiny instead of just lumping a brand name as a no-go.

    What's your recommendation?

  • Never used them pal, but seen them used in Enterprise environments?

    Something I've found on a SOHO environment though and what I bought a family member?

    Gli-Net mini routers. They come with OpenWRT as a base and then lipstick it with a nice interface. But as always, YMMV
