  • Options for protecting home IP on my self hosted home srver

    Jump

  • So, I already pay for Proton VPN, mostly for the E-Mail, but I do use the vpn currently on my main PC to torrent, which I then manually transfer to my server over the network, but I would like to eliminate the middleman and torrent directly to the server, while still being able to easily remote in. I run CasaOS on my Homelab and I was planning on installing qbittorrent in a container, probably through Portainer. I'm already running Soulseek on the server the same way (originally I was running slskd, but it was overly complicated to set up and once it was set up and working there were lots of upload errors and I didn't like the UI, so I changed to a Nicontine+ docker), but that's just open to the web.

  • Yeah, sounds about right. Server is on my home network and I've forwarded the applicable wireguard ports on my router so I can remote in. I just want to make sure that if I'm running a torrent client on my server or on my phone while I'm connected remotely then I won't be getting angry letters from my ISP.

  • I was actually just reading about VPS'. So would I run into problems if I was torrenting on the VPS? My plan was originally to have my phone always connected to my network (I stream a lot of music at work and sometimes torrent on my phone, then upload the files to my server) and just set up my server on a vpn, but I really wasn't sure that was possible or practical.

  • 'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' Producers Promise Season 4 Will Be Better

  • I found four and a half vulcans the weakest episode in my opinion, but a friend of mine loved the episode. My biggest problem with the episode, other than why was it really necessary, was actually pointed out by Kirk in the episode. They didn't actually even act like Vulcans they were just dicks, Pike especially was uncharacteristically rude and would have never treated anyone the way he treated Spock in the episode.

    Most of the season scored between 5-7/10 for me. Terrarium was an 8.5, Vulcans was a 4, This is Starfleet was a 3, but if it was filmed differently could have been so much better. I really this that This is Starfleet had one of the better stories and checks a lot of "Classic Trek" boxes for me.

  • I mean... There was at least 2 years between season 2 & 3.

  • Yeah. I do think they did a great job btw. This season was such a ride and I can't wait for season 4. I just meant that with so few episodes you really feel when one doesn't hit right.

  • This is the problem with modern TV shows. We only have 10 episode seasons now vs the 20+ long ones from the TNG era. If these were all episodes in a season that lasted 20 episodes I doubt we would be seeing as many complaints, but as it is 10 episodes does not leave much room for any change of pace mid season. This season, while in my opinion was quite well written, was a little all over the place and didn't really seem to have a lot of direction. It really bounced around a lot, which wouldn't be a problem as much if there was 20 episodes to work with, but when you only have 10 its hard to justify some of the "fun" or experimental episodes.

    As an aside. My least favourite episode "This is Starfleet" was also my favourite story in the season and if it was shot as a normal episode I think would have probably be my favourite of the series so far. It really captured the "Classic Trek" vibe for me.

  • I kinda started a "seedbox" for at least my niche torrents. Most of the mainstream things I download I don't normally leave to seed that long as there's already plenty seeding, but a lot of the documentaries or other things that only have single or double digits seeding I'll make a copy and leave it to seed for a while. I used to host my Plex server from that PC and when I build my new dedicated server I left the storage intact, but transferred my whole library over, so I have a large amount of unused space doing nothing else.

    I'm also fairly new to all this. I'm now using Jellyfin for selfhosting. What's the benefit of enencoding everything?

  • A lot of people are also questioning why they even have a home PC now. Their Win 10 machine is "out of date" and they need to replace it or else, but their cell phone now does much of what their PC did. Instead of installing Linux and learning a whole new OS, they just cut out their PC and just use their phone.

  • Here's the link to the docker I used. There are a few others on github, but this one seemed like it was the most actively updated.

    I liked slskd perfectly fine once I got it going, but I couldn't get my partner to use it as she was used to nicotine and didn't like the new interface. Once the Docker was set up in Portainer there was very little additional configuration and the rest was inside the nicotine webui app.

  • Instead of slskd I recommend using nicotine+. I found slskd worked fine, but was a pain to set up. I found a Nicotine docker that works just like the app inside a web UI. Much less of a learning curb for someone who's not familiar with servers.

  • I didn't realize how truely frustrated I was with windows until I switched a few months ago. I realize now that most of my recent windows troubleshooting was trying to make windows stop doing things I didn't want it to. Now most of my Linux troubleshooting is just learning how to get Linux to do things I actually want it to do, which is actually quite satisfying.

  • Has anyone had success putting ProtonVPN or any other VPN aside from MullvadVPN on Bazzite?

    Jump

  • Same. Haven't had any problems.

  • What did Musk and Trump fall out over?

    Jump

  • Also I think Tesla stock went up a bit since this whole thing started. Muskrat might just be trying to distance himself from Trump to save Tesla's sales numbers.

  • I haven't bought full price games in ages. Games are always released half finished now. Wait six months to a year until it goes on sale and they actually finish the game.

  • VPN firm says it didn’t know customers had lifetime subscriptions, cancels them

    Jump

  • Yeah. I bought it at least 5 years ago as well for fairly cheap. I ended switching a few years ago because I had problems with my IP leaking, customer service wouldn't back to me, and I noticed the canary page went blank, so I assumed that something happened to them.

  • Haha. I too switched to Linux Mint last week. So far no regrets. I've actually enjoyed making everything I need to work. Especially because it seems to work better that on the operating system it was designed for. Strange.
