  • The only thing I don’t install via that way is Firefox addons.

    Any specific reason why? Yesterday I installed LibreWolf and saw at the same time a few addons in the AUR.

    Do you know what’s the difference from an AUR addon or the official Firefox addon repo?

    I guess It would be for security reasons because you never know if someone has tempered with the addon.



  • It really depends on your metadata/ directory structure. Even though navidrome doesn’t care of your directory structure it’s better to have everything neatly separated !

    You can spin a docker compose (if you’re a bit acquainted with it) and simply point to your external drive containing your media, just to give it a try and see how it performs with your media files.

    Just give it a try and see how it works, however I would wait for the new scanner update before upgrading fully to navidrome which would give some new long awaited functionalities like VA list of all artist.

    But I had so many services running it was a pain to maintain.

    Are you talking about docker containers? You should take a look at what’s up docker to maintain and keep track of your containers. I have approximately 20 containers and It was easier to keep track this way. If you’re more in the 50/100 range… Yeah this sounds a lot ! :o


  • Now I just want to host a web page and expose it with nepenthes…

    First, because I’m a big fan of carnivorous plants.

    Second, because it let’s you poison LLMs, AI and fuck with their data.

    Lastly, because I can do my part and say F#CK Y0U to those privacy data hungry a$$holes !

    I don’t even expose anything directly to the web (always accessible through a tunnel like wireguard) or have any important data to protect from AI or LLMs. But just giving the opportunity to fuck with them while they continuously harvest data from everyone is something I was already thinking off but didn’t knew how.

    Thanks for the link !


  • Anime and .ass subtitles are a bit funky but that’s not due to jellyfin but the player used while streaming in direct play. (In my case)

    I had the issue where on my mobile/laptop some subtitles just disappeared or where strangely formated. After some digging arround I found out that VLC was the culprit and changing the default player to MPV or alternatives like Findroid (which uses MPV as default player) everything went butter smooth in direct play !

    No idea about transcoding though :/



  • I don’t know if it’s bad UX or UI, but I do agree there’s something really disturbing with jellyfin’s options and tweaks… More than once I lost my way and had to click on every option button again to find a specific thing to disable/enable something?

    Now It’s easier after I have passed some time in the options/user menu, but some tweaks and options are not very intuitive.

    Other than that, Jellyfin is awesome and I can’t believe something as good as Jellyfin is free and open source. Thanks to all devloppers behind this, I hope they will stay true to open source and jellyfin will last forever !! But I doubt it.


  • Docker is really cool tech, but not that easy to get it right the first time you run into it. The easy suggestion would probably be some YouTube videos? But the best would be to find your way on the web and follow some written tutorials that gives more details.

    Depending on how far and deep you want to go with docker it can range from a simple command you copy/past to more advanced stuff where you add new tools into the image.

    My first contact with docker was through Network Chuck’s video, while it gives you a first feeling on what it does and how it work at the basic level, it won’t give you the keys to host qbitorrent behind gluetun on a raspberry pie, let alone on how to properly configure and protect it.





  • Helle there ! It’s still Saturday here :p !

    I recently setup weechat (IRC) and learned about bouncers. From what I understand it’s similar to a proxy but with backlogging IRC conversation. I’m still new to it and have a lot a new things to learn.

    I’m thinking to self-host my personal bouncer on some cheap VPS.

    Other than that was busy with encoding with av1an and encode my bluray library to AV1 codec :).

    I also recently self-hosted metube (yt-dlp web frontend) to download some music from RiMusic. Still need to work on a shortcut with HTTPS shortcut on Android !



  • A few years back there was some kind of url trick where you could directly download every file with some string manipulation… But that doesn’t work anymore and there isn’t any new hack/workaround to bypass paywalled files.

    My guess would be that there isn’t any kind of “hack” floating arround anymore, cause it involves the site’s security measure and would leave a very bad image of DeviantArt if the creators only way to market their art has some loophole to get freestuff.

    Your best chance is either someone who paid/share the stuff you’re a looking for or someone who has the technical skills to do what you’re looking for without leaving a trace.


  • I was in the same boat… I just wanted a simple god damn self-hosted cloudStorage without any nitty gritty or all the bloat that comes with most local/self-hosted cloud solution…

    Syncthing is good, but not really a cloud storage solution (I love syncthing and I use It to sync all my backups !!).

    Give SFTPGo a try :) It also has a WebDAV functionality if you wan’t to use it that way ! It just plain file storage with security features. However, not sure there are any application available, I mostly used it as web application :).


  • Nice tool, thank you ! However I’m bit confused

    If you’re interested in blocking tracking, then best download TrackerControl from here, from F-Droid, or from the IzzyOnDroid F-Droid Repository. If you’re interested in analysing tracking and generating factual evidence of it (e.g. for research), then choose the version from Google Play. The analysis results from this version will usually be more accurate.

    That’s strange… Why have different versions doing different things?



  • Mostly phishing or link redirects. But the PDF in itself is harmless. Or Am I wrong here? Is it possible to install malware just by opening a PDF file?

    My guess would be no… Because there isn’t any execution file to install sketchy binaries. This is very different from cracked games in the sense that getting malware from a PDF is more like a user mistake while a crack… You already know you are doing something sketchy and have no idea what it does in the background.

    If someone has more details on how PDF can be exploited, except for the classical phishing attack (social engineering) I’m open to learn something new !
