Damn, all this time using JF and I never thought of theming it.

While I use it on a SFF PC I have a couple of users that access my server via a couple of CCwGTV Chromecasts I handed them and so, unable to test since I don't have one to hand but can you / does it theme the UI on the Chromecast too?

Cheers!

Help me transition from 2002 to 2025

I have been torrenting the same primitive way for a long time. Turn on a VPN

arrr

Ya know reading my comment again, something else I might advise is getting to know Docker if you haven't already.

However I find it shrewd to run anything networking related such as Pihole / TS / Zerotier / Adguard whatever is to run them raw dawg instead of in docker containers. Many recommended but I can't.

I've totally and others have too fugged up their network and not just with them in a docker containers. It's really sometimes very very opaque as to why things don't work.

Immich and stuff like that is great in docker containers, but networking? No thank u!

Yup!

Things you should be aware of thou are a Rpi3 and below only have a 100Mbps ethernet port, whereas a Pi4 and above have gigabit ports so if you're gonna be doing anything network related it might be better for you. A Pi5 again has one but then isn't as powerful GPU wise (sounds weird I know) and no good for transcoding things unlike the Pi4.

And saying that, I have two dinky Pi Zero's with DVB HAT's on them to give me my own HD Homerun TV tuners that I can access anywhere via Tailscale. They don't require much processing power and only operate over WiFi 2.4GhZ, but they work good.

If you want something to play with self hosting? Immich is a good start as the docs are as good as Tailscale's. A Pihole is often a good start to understanding your network better and allows installation via a simple curl command. Have fun!

I've just checked 5hrs worth and some users are gonna get themselves snagged by screenshotting these dickbutts. Whether that's by their ISP or whatever, and it seems might be wise to hunker down and ask active community members for moar reports?

Main thing is thou did you manage to get your openssh-server working on Android yet instead of using the client? I made that fugg up first time.

That'd be dependent on your works IT policy and I can hear the resounding NO from my IT dept here at home :/

However if they're fairly lax, you could install it on anything from a Pi to a spare laptop.

Besides like I say it's now saving me money, I've also got the bonus of having off site backup storage at a family member's now since I gave them an old Pi4 of mine, setup the arrrr stack/Jellyfin/Jellyseerr etc and they love me so much now because of that, I don't think they'd even notice they're secretly part of my 3.2.1 backup solution (since they also get my remote IT support + their adblocker on their phone via Tailscale anywhere) ;)

Nah they're connecting to their home network via a Tailscale exit node which basically runs all your requests traffic through your device/router at home/ external server, P2P encrypted.

And if it's got an adblocker on that network you soon notice if it's not connected since all the ads come flooding in.

I too third Tailscale, since it is literally now saving me money because work has give us pretty darn fast WiFi albeit with a nanny filter which the above exit node breaks you out of so I now don't pay for as much data on my cellular plan.

And then "punish" the motorhome owners for negligence. No negligence fines for the Border Force missing then and/or inquiry about straight up lying about finding the stowaway later on?

lol, you couldn't make it up. Surely there's a police report stating that the couple phoned it in and is in black and white.

They're probably skint and need a loan.

Problem is, they created it? Oops

tldr: people using Windows can get duped into running what is basically a Powershell / Shortcut to pwn themselves

I cock blocked them with Qbit even though I don't use Windows

Were they / are they on the 3 network?

If so, that's why because 3 has never had a 2G network at all ;)

Kinda reminded me of this post

Albeit the kerning on those virtual keys are making me all itchy. Horrible horrible implementation from Google yet again when they could've done it right.

I've picked up running an i2p node again for the last few weeks since I feel it's a safer thing to use considering my governments recent shitbaggery, and while it's hard to find a fair amount of niche shit the clearnet/recent stuff actually downloads at a decent rate.

The more people start firing up nodes now, the better it'll become down the line hopefully.

I've kinda been struggling with Qbit and Ubuntu in this regard (+time at work is killing me).

Default repo gives up Qbit v4.6.3 but doesn't have libtorrent-raster-v2 and has only v1 but then, Qbit v5.0.4 (I think it's that version but on my phone) doesn't give up the i2p connection?

Anyone help out a noobie.ish wanting to give bandwidth out yet again (since the UK gov is being silly again) or, is there development for i2psnark at last?

Looks like a Rover 820 to me

I don't think I'd feel "attacked" but more impressed that I came to light if they sent me them very much like a naughty "copyright warning" and would send it back with a brick in it.

Cheers!

I regularly get letters from the power company about how I'm using like 3x the power of the average person in my type of unit.

I'm also using a lot of self hosted things but have never received any of those.

Where do you reside generally where they're sending them because it ain't a thing here in the UK?

Really appreciated, and you use either of these?

I am finding it difficult to find a reliable Cloud service

I'll tell ya what I have issue with.

Tailscale allows me and others to access our own locally hosted storage but requires a SSO provider. Currently using Google and Github I ain't too confident with that and would love others thoughts on how to self host it?
