Then use Wireguard to get into your local network. Simple as. All security risks that don't need to be accessed by the public (document servers, ssh, internal tools, etc...) can be accessed via VPN while the port forwarded servers are behind a reverse proxy, TLS, and an authentication layer like Authelia/authentik for things that only a small group needs to access.
Sorry, but there is 1 case in 10000 where a home user would have to have publicly exposed SSH and 9999 cases of 10000 where it is not needed at all and would only be done out of laziness or lack of knowledge of options.
Woah, let's not be hasty. A few big tech companies are really good at their jobs...
Let's not forget the dozens of big tech companies run by absolute morons that bring products that nobody wants or needs and only stay afloat due to legacy, stealing data & selling it, and/or venture capital.
I got in one private tracker and I like that system a lot. I seed my torrents for years because I don't do a ton of very popular stuff, and I like some older shows. Like The Mentalist season packs on TG are at like a 30:1 for me because not many others seed them.
However, the private tracker doesn't use standard naming which sometimes fucks up searches and *arr, also, there are barely any seeders or leechers so a lot of media is hit or miss both downloading and uploading. Of the 50 or so things that I downloaded since I got on, 1 has a positive seed ratio, so thank mods for duration seed points...
Do people know if he is using one of the yaml configs on github or has his own?
I am currently developing a PoE ESP-C3 bridge for the LD2410 and 2450 (don't know if I will sell it or just have all of the files available to make yourself) do I am doing a bit of research. When I make mine open source anyway, I guess the license will be similar to the skreek version anyway so I can work off of his.
Definitely Red plus. They are quiet as hell and 12TB+ are helium filled.
Just got a 12TB a while ago and it is as quiet as my 4TB drives.
But for OP, just use software raid instead of hardware raid. There is very little point for homelabbers using hardware raid at this point without an existing setup.
Why not just spin up Syncthing, sync your music between your phone and server, and then use one of the countless good local music players.
You own the music anyway, you have a limited library, and there is 0 delay having your music locally along with no buffering, offline access, and it will always be at max quality.
(Of course, not realistic if you have 500GB of music and no SD card slot in your phone)
Why not get a separate standing microphone like a Blue Yeti or snowball and have much better audio quality with no wires on your headphones and you are free to choose whatever headphone that you like?
Standing mic plus a Bose quiet comfort is top tier wireless setup. Or you can even use earbuds at that point.

Small batch (10 or so) fully integrated and assembled PCBs of the type of Airgradient without testing, without a case, and without any certifications will run you probably around $50 per piece. That is without any development time, no 3D modeling time to build a case, no software, engineering hours, testing, etc.. Just raw BOM cost.
Boards are cheap, assembly service at low quantities is expensive. Making 10 PCBs by hand is also an option, but at a low $50 hourly rate, it would probably take 6-8 hours to hand assemble if you factor in 10% board mistakes with hand assembly. That brings you to $80ish per piece with no software or case.
The other way you can do this is hiring out very low income countries through fixed-rate contracts via fiverr or Upwork. But you will maybe have to shell out around $1000 to get people to actually take the contract, in which case it is only 30% cheaper than the airgradiant kit for vastlt lower build quality.
Much easier to work with modules and jumper wires, test it yourself, and solder when needed. Soldering station and supplies is $50 total and with modules you can probably get it done a bit roughly for $50 per piece total, but the benefit ia your free time costs nothing money-wise and you learn a lot.
Yes you can do things yourself for much cheaper than commercial products. The keyword is yourself. You often times can't hire someone else to do it for cheaper than a commercial product (with exceptions).
Next school year, my son will be left home after school for a few hours while my wife and I are at work. I'm looking for a way to detect when he's home and have the front door unlock (among other automation scripts that are in place)....
Or, because studies have shown that in early and mid childhood development stages cell phones and tablets can actually stunt motor proficiancy and cause arrested social development, just give them a damn key.
Much easier than every single other option. If they lose things, actually parent them and teach them to be responsible and different organizational methods and tie the key to something they always have.
It's funny because everyone arguing for phones and tablets for kids is like "hurt durr but their education"
You know what the vast vastvast majority of kids use the phones and tablets for? Fucking sure as hell that it isn't education.
Addicting microtransaction games, social media, and the lowest trash YouTube channels.
Pretty much every teacher in existence will tell you that phones for young kids have been hell and the kids can't focus at all and have much more trouble learning.
And every single person with any awareness at all will know that social media has been an absolute plague to kids social and mental health.
Sure give a phone to your kid when they are 14, 15, 16. But when they are in primary school it is not needed and they are at the most risk for every bad aspect of phones.
The study (PDF), published this month by University of Chicago and University of Michigan researchers and reported by The Washington Post on Sunday, says:...
They don't want people to innovate. Innovation is a buzzword that they use to market themselves as something other than parasites.
Most companies want to safely follow market trends to suck away large profit margin with minimal payout to workers. If they make a product that doesn't work, they just assert that it does and that the customer is wrong.
That's also why they intentionally quiet fire seniors like in the article. They don't give a fuck about quality or innovation. They want the cheapest labor possible while hiking service/product pricing.
They don't want employees to be happy. They want them to be cheap and exploitable.
That is literally the base form of businesses in the flawed reality of capitalism.

Hi there, im searching for a Android app to track my gym trainings (weights, reps, when). My Smartwatch App (Garmin) offers something like this but it kinda sucks because it deletes data if it thinks its machine/training X......
Reddit fitness user made it back in the day, works perfectly, super customizable without any terrible subscription.
There is a companion body composition app for tracking measurement changes.
Best app I have tried to date except for a while the rest interval alarm would sometimes make podcasts get stuck at a lower volume, but android auto had that problem too, so maybe an android thing.
Only thing it is lacking is heart rate tracking from a Polar strap for example.
US government and Canadian are terrorists (look at their list of war crimes against civilians, genocide of native Americans, kidnapping and "re-educating" native children for ethnic cleansing). The US independence war literally got kicked off by torturing civilian tax collectors by ripping their skin off after dragging them through the streets
Israel is a terrorist state (genocide against a specific ethnic group definitely fits this definition even if they just did it for expansionism, that is a political goal and there are 36000 that Israel has killed directly on the low end, including over 224 civilian humanitarian aid workers and 179 civilian unwra workers)
Hamas is a terrorist organization
Dole is a terrorist organization (banana republics, Hawaii)
Many police organizations nowadays are terrorists (constant violence against innocent civilians), especially in the US
Belgium is a terrorist state (Congo anyone?)
France is a terrorist state (they have a special police battalion hand picked for violence against civilians lol)
Russian army is a terrorist org (talk about violence against civilians, they have wiped out so many villages and just killed and dumped the population)
Hell, Britain is a terrorist org (Kenya atrocities like the chuka massacre, the Irish???, Iraq & Afganistan?? BBC themselves reported how the British government was covering up their forces killing and torture of civilians and children in the middle east)
The point is that a news org can't (or shouldn't) just cherry pick who they want to label terrorists because that, no matter which way you slice it, will be political bias. Their own government has committed many, MANY acts of terror very recently.

Short version of this interview is that nothing is changing, other than they're going to be asking a flat fee "$5-20" for the app, rather than relying on donations. All donation platforms have been closed. However, if you choose not to, as Louis says "that's between you and your God"....
What is Futo? Their website says absolutely nothing besides their "company values."
What is their business model?
Who is running it?
How do they earn money to give out?
What do they ask in return besides hoarding the trademarks?
Flat fee is always good, but I am always skeptical about these sort of completely opaque, altruistic companies that often turn into not-so-altruistic companies after they see more profit capabilities.
It ends when musk popularizes his shitty brain microchip and the engineers figure out technology to project image and sound into your head.
24/7 unmodifiable banner ads, ads while you sleep, ads related to what you see that cover your vision until you pay an extra subscription fee, then just border ads.
That is the future that musk and tech BoDs cum in their pants for.
The consumer advertising industry is a scourge of humanity. The dregs of the groveling worms.
We bought a house last year that was the first on the street by a decade. Everything was asparagus farms and some forest.
It needed to be fully stripped and redone, but damn is that house strong. 20cm thick brick wall going down like 5m underground or something. Load bearing walls also have like 2cm iron rods running vertically for support. This house will not budge.
Trying to renovate it respectfully while repairing damage done by the previous owner and complying with the many, many strict Belgium housing regulations. So much potential and almost no problems with damp in an extremely wet region.
Do you want only 2 devices of the 10 your family possibly owns to work?
Do you want your family to complain that jellyfin "isn't as good as Netflix/Disney+/etc.." Because it constantly stops to buffer and a can't keep up the framerate?
It is completely fine if you are single and have 1-2 devices that work with AV1 and h.265 client side and that is all you need, then you don't have to bother with transcoding at all. When you start letting other people into it, compatibility becomes an issue.
As for storing it beforehand, the entire point of AV1 and HEVC is to significantly reduce the size on disk. If you have to store 10 versions or each file, 5 resolutions each, half h.264, then you are taking up about 20x the space per file compared to 1 copy of HEVC or AV1.
A transcode GPU like the A380 or new QSV compatible CPU is MUCH cheaper than a new good quality 12TB drive lol
Sorry for the long text, it pretty much depends on the living situation.
I am worried that I drink too much at once. I don't drink coffee daily but typically when I do drink coffee I will have 4-6 shots of espresso. I am not asking if this is healthy per se, I'm more searching for confirmation that it isn't too uncommon lol....
Someone said that it is "not terribly performent" but it doesn't matter for transcoding. It can do multiple 4k streams of AV1 & HEVC. That is perfect.
According to benchmarks, it beat the 3080 and 6800XT when it was released for transcoding performance. That is what you have to look at in this case, you aren't gaming on it.
Just remember to enable all of the correct kernel modules to get it working. You often have to manually download the firmware git repo and move it to the firmware folder in Debian to get it working.
Blows the 6950XT and 3090 out of the water in transcoding performance. I would say that is performing very well. That was before drivers have gotten much much better too probably a bigger difference now.
The US (mostly the trending fascist party) does whatever possible to make sure the least amount of people possible get the opportunity to vote and for the people who do vote, make sure their vote does not count as much as possible. It also varies per state.
not giving out a national identification card, but then requiring an identification card to vote
reducing the amount of voting centers every year in areas like major cities that vote more left so that the people would have to travel an hour or more to vote and without a car, it is almost impossible
Voting is not a public holiday and many states do not allow voting by mail. Combined with the before point removes many poor people's ability to vote at all
there is a right wing effort to remove as many left leaning votors as possible from registration for minor errors
Armed party members at elections recently to intimidate voters, especially if they "look like the left demographic"
the "electoral college" which can just decide to not cast the vote that actually decides elections for the candidates that the citizens voted for
It is really batshit crazy over there. It seems like the right gets away with all of this crazy stuff and then when the left is back in power, almost nothing is done to change it back with regards to voting.
They already fucked it up. They support their phones the least in the whole industry among major manufacturers. I think even shitty HMD Global supports their phones for longer now.
Except that they give only half or less of the software support of other manufacturers.. I have a Sony 5ii. 2 years after release on the dot, not a single security update after.
