  • FFS Plex, the server is on my local network

    Jump

  • Yes, however using the relay is not a prerequisite to being required to pay for a Plex subscription. That is what he is trying to say.

    I can run Plex on the open internet and not use their relay at all, however if the IP of the viewer is not an interal IP on the same subnet as Plex (I assume the same subnet is required) then you'll be greeted with the Plex paywall.

    You are absolutely correct that it costs money to run a relay, but the relay has nothing to directly do with the paywall.

  • DC my server is at is shutting down so I have to bring everything home. Conveniently I just got hooked up with symetric 1G fiber so that's not too much of a problem now thankfully.

    Currently exploring docker swarm as a method of using one of my external VPSs to route all external traffic though it to my hardware at home on my tailnet.

    Swarm isn't required for this but figured I'd play around with it.

  • Steam data reveals PC gamers shifting from Windows to Linux

  • Been on gaming kn Linux for a while now. Overall with Steam and Proton I rarely have any issues.

  • Plex server patching required

    Jump

  • From what I've gathered in other posts regarding Plex and jellyfin, the ones that never learned how to port forward or any other alternative solution for getting external traffic to their internal server. All the complaints I've read here regarding jellyfin boiled down to them relying on the Plex relay to handle the traffic for them.

  • To each their own. My only point was to count that who i replied to who implied everyone has to use a banking app.

    I personally refuse to use apps and if I can ONLY use a service via a smartphone app then I will simply not use the service.

  • I never use a banking app. I just go to the website if I need to do something.

  • YSK about StopICE.net to send and receive alerts about ICE raids in your area

    Jump

  • It's sourced primarily from the stopice.net site so the alerts should be the same.

  • Was just wondering how I could get the OP link into ntfy somehow. Glad I read the comments. Thanks for the link.

  • Peersuite p2p encrypted discord alternative

    Jump

  • Apologies for the long delay. I was using just the browser via your docker image but today I've done some testing with the electeon app.

    Wonderful that you added PTT but it's implementation has a flaw as the Peersuite window MUST be in focus for the PTT key to be read.

    As far as the video goes, I've definitely confirmed that there's is some serious frame drop which I'm assuming is directly related to the bitrate in same way. I had a friend on windows use the electron app and share his screen while I watched from the electron app on Linux. I took the following recording to better demonstrate what I'm saying. The quality has gone through multiple transcodes now but that's not really important as the framerate is what I'm referring to anyway. https://files.catbox.moe/03f5b1.mkv

  • Peersuite p2p encrypted discord alternative

    Jump

  • Perhaps talking about bitrate wasn't correct of me. After looking at this again image quality itself is actually pretty good but the framerate is a different story.

    To provide context, I used it to share the video game I was playing as my friends that use discord tell me they primarily stick to it for its screen sharing capability which they use when gaming.

    I'm not sure how to best test this and provide metrics to you if this is improvable or even something you care about.

    To attempt to take the connection factor out of the equation I opened two browser windows and viewed my own screen share from a different username and even then the framerate is not great.

  • Well hell I may stand this up tonight. My only question is does the voice chat support push-to-talk?

    Edit: Ok, gave it a spin. It does not support push-to-talk but being fully browser based I don't think that's a trivial thing to implement anyway.

    That said, this is pretty sweet though certainly still rudimentary. I was really looking forward to the screen sharing but my friend on the other end said the quality and framerate were pretty bad. Not sure what flexibility there is as far as adjustable bit rate and framerate with what you're doing but I'll definitely be keeping my eye on this project.

  • Plex now want to SELL your personal data

    Jump

  • True though that's less server operator and more "just being helpful to your mom". That said it seems nowadays that a Jellyfin app is available on most devices/ecosystems (or maybe I just don't have experience with enough devices to have an accurate idea).

  • Plex now want to SELL your personal data

    Jump

  • Jellyfin is a fully self hosted drop in. That means it's up to the server operator to handle everything. You would still tell your mom to just install the Jellyfin app on her TV with the one additional step in your server address which you would tell her.

    But yes, you as the operator have to do some extra things like implementating a reverse proxy and if hosting out of your home make necessary network configuration changes to accommodate this access.

  • Seeking advice for selfhosting critical data

    Jump

  • No i mean instead of OpenVPN i would recommend you look into using Tailscale. If you want to fully self host it then you can run the open source control plane called Headscale instead of relying on Tailscale's (the company) free service tier on their own control plane.

    The Tailscale client and server are also open source.

  • You'll always have bots knocking on your doors. In general keep the doors locked and you are fine.

    I highly recommend trying tailscale with headscale over openvpn.

  • There is a somewhat native file editor in nextcloud but for your needs I would recommend setting up integration with either OnlyOffice or Collabora (LibreOffice). I am currently using OnlyOffice and while my utilization isn't much or often it seems to do what it should without any fuss.

  • Haven't had any issues whatsoever.

    I've done nothing special regarding security and have it exposed to the public internet. I intend on having fail2ban look at its logs but I've not yet set that up (entirely out of laziness).

    If you want to be very secure I would recommend having it entirely behind a VPN. I personally use tailscale+headscale for my internal only services but like I said I have Nextcloud publicly exposed as I want to be able to access it from potentially any device.
