Strange, I'm getting pages and pages of links about third party clients barfing

Maybe it's that "cleaner Google" url hack (udm=14) that's reallllly cleaning it up for ye?

Plenty of others can confirm

It's been going on for months, especially VPN users.

You'll never need to log into Youtube again

Well, I've used Newpipe for the longest time but depending on your internet connection / CGNAT'ed or, even using a VPN means it won't work unless you do sign in :/

I've got to be honest, FACT might keep on yammering that they're nailing these "IP" pirates in the UK but all the dodgy firestick sellers I've ever met, all the guys who have pirated since god knows how long I've never ever once heard of someone getting done over here in Britbongland?

Worst I've had is two emails to one of the 10 email addresses BlueYonder supplied us with (yes, I've had my BY/Telewest that long....) telling me I'm naughty for torrenting two episodes of Animal Kingdom back in 2016/7. And, because they use a Gmail backend for their email stack I didn't even get notified and only noticed them because I got bored, printed them out, and rolled them around my toilet paper roll for shits and giggles.

Seriously, is there anyone around here from this same land and heard of anyone getting "done"?

remotely is a challenge for me right now

I've seen you mention this a few times and like mentioned elsewhere in here, set yourself a Tailnet up.

It's fugging brilliant, the docs are wrote by some very clever people (note, I am best described as a copy / pasta person?) and are through, and you can use a github or even a Google account for authentication.

Even grabbing a cheapo raspberry pi4 gives you a 1GB port (the rpi3 only has a 100Mbps rj-45 port and would still suffice for lesser needs) for your own VPN Wireguard to home, that is P2P encrypted and can be used as an Exit Node / subnet router

ie: if you're on someone else's internet/cellular you can simply hit up your exit node to break out of any nanny filters, stop anyone else noseying at your traffic (obv bar your ISP seeing outgoing requests unless you have a another...VPN on your router), and also view and/or manage any devices on your home network/Tailnet by IP address.

Hell, I dumped a rpi down at a family members house that is part of the "stack" so I can help out remotely but it seems someone has knocked the aerial out of the HAT again :/

Best thing ever.

This discussion is still on the front page

They're not services per se, but are a stack of software that you can kinda "clump" together for the lack of a better word.

For instance I started using qbittorrent client recently instead of Transmission that I was using before as my torrent client because I can't find a way for Transmission to not download malware, and you can also do the very same with the indexer clients such as Jackett or Prowlarr which then talk to other software such as Radarr/Sonarr via API keys and is usually where most get caught out.

Read the docs, get thoroughly confused, and probably do it in docker too as everyone says if your hardware is sufficient.

Aye, I have them all from that previous discussion about it but noticed it wasn't working because noobie here didn't think of line separators.

I wonder if there's a way of making qbit notifying users they need to be that way 🤔

Separated by a newline

You brilliant person got it in one! Love you 😘

Now I haven't tested which of the line separated ones blocked it, but the wildcard *.lnk didn't work when they were comma separated but do when line separated. have tested, and these are the most common so far I've seen

*.lnk

*.scr

*.arj

*.zipx

*.exe

*.cmd

*.msi

*.bat

*.scf

Again, 👌

Ya know this is a really good point and whether the network switch is managed, or unmanaged.

I've never delved into the black magic of playing with a managed switch before but your comment makes me eager to have a play with one now.

The French are very defendant when it comes to VLC or other open sauce apps. I'd usually bring the Willy joke out but I'm with them on this one.

edit Gli-net seems nice, but i'm a stickler of using a WAP separate from the router. I know I pay more.

It's exactly why I bought her two of them. One their main router and the other in AP mode ;)

As opposed to, TP-Link, Cisco(Linksys) and other off the shelf routers it seems some will only go for brands with their own proprietary firmware?

I grabbed that Xiaomi router on the premise it has OpenWRT, but I'd like to see Ubi / Unifi routers put under the same scrutiny instead of just lumping a brand name as a no-go.

What's your recommendation?

Never used them pal, but seen them used in Enterprise environments?

Something I've found on a SOHO environment though and what I bought a family member?

Gli-Net mini routers. They come with OpenWRT as a base and then lipstick it with a nice interface. But as always, YMMV

No doubt, and I would really love someone with more knowledge than me to poke into why that was going on (*edit: for clarity, this behaviour stopped after installing OpenWRT and is the stock Mi firmware that causes this)

I remember finding this thread where someone said they replaced their entire networking equipment

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/72022569/cannot-find-fixes-to-apt-error-hash-sum-mismatch

My router is this model for anyone wanting to nosey

https://openwrt.org/toh/xiaomi/ax3600

This reminds me of some peeps saying using Newpipe is "(app) piracy". I wholly disagree with them to this day.

If a website, which YouTube.com is and allows a client to connect and use its services it isn't, piracy per se.

Much like because I have a UK IP address I can hit up get_iplayer and use that service which IMO should be the norm.

e: apologies for not been helpful, I'm just ranting.

I've had no end of trouble with routers and ones you should choose to be sure of.

The ones where you can flash OpenWRT seems the only choice if you want some semblance of security. But even my current Xiaomi router with stock firmware creates hash mismatches using apt to download things, and I don't 100% know with confidence that using OpenWRT on it instead is keeping me right.

Yeah, I'm a Britbong and apparently we're regarded for knowing satire when it stares us in the face.

And we've also had the simple truth that the Germans at one point were terribad at it but are now nailing it down, especially when you come to the above users calling it "satire".

It's a shit joke in very bad taste no matter where you're from or whatever political spectrum you're aligned to. Made me giggle to be honest, and especially so how you downvoted for not getting lel joke.

Tally ho'

Exactly, that's why anything I do with my real name is on my wholly separate profile / device / email.

It's a boring computer that has my real name on it.

Google will just add your new account to your profile and keep right on selling your shit.

This is exactly why I used a pseudonym from the outset.
