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.

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, 👌

I've always gone with Anker chargers and cables and they've always seen me right.

Saying that thou and even thou my current phone comes with a 90w charger in the box, I simply use my 20w Anker charger since fast charging isn't exactly good for the health of your battery and if I can, I leave it on a trickle charge at home.

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.

[–] ladfrombrad@lemdro.id 1 points 9 months ago

Indeed, and is something that not only irks me with newer apps like you say but is also something we have at work with all the HMI / touchscreens.

They're just now icons with no labels or anything so trying to figure out what some of them do is a game of guesswork 🤬

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.
