- Comment on PSA: Don't use nextcloud's auto upload on the android app as a backup 1 day ago:
I have the same issue with Immich on android. It pretty much never uploads files until I manually open the app; then the app refuses to acknowledge it has uploaded those new files until it’s closed and re-opened :(
FolderSync has been the only reliable (non-root) backup solution I’ve used. It’s set to monitor my image folders for changes and upload any new files as soon as they’re created; this works ~85% of the time. Then, It’s also set with a few schedules to check for changes every 3hrs, backing up everything on the phone the app can access; this catches anything the on-change/on-creation file detection misses, while also backing up more data than just my images. I have yet to see that fail after ~3 years.

Hmm; so about 14Gs + a good long barrel and I should be able to launch a baby at least to Mach 2 or 3.
Stopping might be a problem, but that’s one for whoevers gonna catch it.

This reminds me;
5-6 years ago, I was scrolling through reddit and stumbled across a link to a website that was just a generic white page with hundreds of hyperlinks on it. No other formatting or images, just row after row of links on a plain white background.
Each one was a direct link to an IP security camera somewhere in the world. Presumably these either used default logins, had no login, or the credentials were stolen somehow. There were private residences, public buildings, the interior and exterior of stores, what looked like public security cameras (like pole mounted traffic cams), some spa resort type places, even a few elevator cams. Some of them even had working PTZ controls (tho I only came across 2-3 of those in the few dozen I played with).
I wasn’t entirely sure they were even real; until I spotted a phone number in one of them and gave it a call. Took a bit of convincing, but the lady that answered finally believed me when I told her how many fingers she was holding up.
I wish I’d have saved it, just to see if anyone did anything about it. I really should have fired off an email to the domain registrar or something; but… naivety 🤷
- Comment on Plex’s crackdown on free remote streaming access starts this week - Ars Technica 1 week ago:
Plex, Emby, and Jellyfin and all legal, and each have ways to serve liveTV alongside your own locally stored content, amd DCR that liveTV if you want. You’d just have to purchase a liveTV subscription from your local provider (or go the Pirate route ofc).
- Comment on Plex’s crackdown on free remote streaming access starts this week - Ars Technica 1 week ago:
Emby has what they call ‘Emby Connect’ which is entirely optional and is basically a glorified DNS service.
It doesn’t proxy connections, it just passes on the hostname to the client. The server is still required to setup port forwarding or other routing like tailscale or a proxy on a vps.
Emby Connect will let you sign into your local server using your emby.media credentials, but unlike Plex it’s completely optional and only works once explicitly linked to the local user of an Emby server.
- Comment on Plex’s crackdown on free remote streaming access starts this week - Ars Technica 1 week ago:
I only bring it up because you explicitly said you have no idea why it doesn’t work.
Take things at a comfortable pace; there’s no sense overwhelming yourself. Then you just forget what you’ve done and end up lost in your own maze.
I started with Plex myself, almost 10 years ago. Moved to Emby, where I learned about buying a domain, setting up ssl through a reverse proxy, and just continued to explore from there. Today I run ~26 containers/projects across three systems and I’m always keeping my eye out for interesting new things.
Best of luck with your journey m8.
- Comment on Plex’s crackdown on free remote streaming access starts this week - Ars Technica 1 week ago:
Sounds like you’re behind cgNAT, which essentially means there’s another router owned by your ISP that’s between yours and the open internet, which also requires port forwarding, but your ISP will never do that for you.
It complicates things, but the solution(s) are tools like tailscale, cloudflare Tunnels, or to rent a VPS just to host a proxy/vpn.
Plex solves this by using their own public servers as a proxy for you, but this is part of how they have control over your users/server/data, such as blocking remote streaming… That makes more than a few people uncomfortable.
- Comment on Plex’s crackdown on free remote streaming access starts this week - Ars Technica 1 week ago:
Plex centralizes authentication at plex.tv
When a user wants to connect to a ‘private’ plex server, they must first sign into their plex.tv account, which then provides the auth token needed to login to the users server (even if both the client and server are on the same lan)
With this system, Plex can monitor and control every single connection to every plex server; limiting access to whatever they want. Even your own local content.
- Comment on Plex’s crackdown on free remote streaming access starts this week - Ars Technica 1 week ago:
Plex has an automatic proxy service hosted by their public servers. If you haven’t or can’t configure port forwarding correctly, plex will route the connection through their own servers.
The problem is, that also means Plex co has total control over your server and the data sent between it and clients if they so choose. Anything from quietly logging the data sent back and fourth, to controlling who can connect and what they can do while they are.
Jellyfin has to be correctly exposed to the internet via port forwarding or tools like tailscale/a vpn; but it’s entirely your server under your control. You have ultimate control over how your server can be accessed, but that also means you’re responsible for actually setting that up.

- Comment on God ****** dammit, here we go again 4 weeks ago:
I currently have 110 unique user+password combos. I wouldn’t want to change all those even once, if I were breached and had used similar credentials everywhere.
Bitwarden keeps them well managed, synced between devices, and allows me to check the whole database for matches/breaches via haveibeenpwned integration. Plus because I prefer to keep things in-house as much as possible, I even self-host the server with vaultwarden walled off behind my own vpn, instead of using the public servers. (this also means it’s free, instead of a paid service)

I’ve never understood the desire to stand while peeing. Sure; when you’ve got too - like outside - or if a toilet is filthy and you don’t want to touch it; but I’ve always been happy to take the opportunity to sit my lazy ass down for a minute. Plus I never have to worry about aim or cleaning up if I miss.

Kinda makes me curious about the logistics. You can’t exactly mark it as ‘read’.
Do they just keep it on until he shows up? What if there’s more than one crime happening? How long will they wait for some sort of response?
- Comment on Pornhub should make its own VPN 1 month ago:
it wouldn’t be owned by pornhub. It would be owned by MindGeek, their parent company.
Which, In Americas current legal/political landscape, is more than enough to link them and insist they have an obligation to prevent users accessing MindGeeks own legally restricted content.
They need a significant separation to cover their own asses. Common corporate ownership doesn’t provide that separation.

An honesty fascinating concept for its time; but definitely outdated tech. Time to cover that site in photovoltaic cells.
- Comment on Pornhub should make its own VPN 1 month ago:
I presume you mean, so users in individual States or other regions that restrict it can access pornhub
No.
A VPN provides a layer of plausible deniability where PornHub can say 'we don’t know those connections come from [restricted region] so we didn’t know we had to bock them/verify IDs. All they see is connections comming from the VPN exit server location, which is very likely in a more forgiving/less restrictive region.
If PornHub owns the VPN as well, they now know the true location of the user as well as what they’re accessing and will be scrutinized much further about those connections.

- Comment on Blocking releasegroups from Sonarr/Radarr 2 months ago:
Check out the edited OP.
- Comment on Blocking releasegroups from Sonarr/Radarr 2 months ago:
I’m taking a look at this. It looks like it’s the malware blocker portion that I’m interested in, but if I enable it and ‘delete known malware’, it just complains every minute that there are no blocklists enabled. (though the documents say it’s supposed to fetch one from a pages.dev url that has almost no content)
Do you have a specific malware blocklist configured? Enabling the specific service blocklists demands a url for one.
I can host/build a list over time for these to use if that’s what I’ve gotta do; just wondering if there’s a public collaboration on one already on the go.
- Comment on Blocking releasegroups from Sonarr/Radarr 2 months ago:
That’s what I’d already done as per the OP, but it leaves Sonarr/Radarr wanting manual intervention for the ‘complete’ download that doesn’t have any files to import.
- Comment on Blocking releasegroups from Sonarr/Radarr 2 months ago:
I just did some digging and found I do have some good quality content from them, but they were all grabbed via NZBGeek.
Every torrent I’ve gotten with that label has been garbage/malware.
- Comment on Blocking releasegroups from Sonarr/Radarr 2 months ago:
This comment prompted me to look a little deeper at this. I looked at the history for each show where I’ve had failed downloads from those groups.
For SuccessfulCrab; any time a release has come from a torrent tracker (I only have free public torrent trackers) it’s been garbage. I have however had a number of perfectly fine downloads with that group label, whenever retrieved from NZBgeek. I’ve narrowed that filter to block the string ‘SuccessfulCrab’ on all torrent trackers, but allow NBZs. Perhaps there’s an impersonator trying to smear them or something, idk.
ELiTE on the other hand, I’ve only got history of grabbing their torrents and every one of them was trash. That’s going to stay blocked everywhere.
The block potentially dangerous setting is interesting, but what exactly is it looking for? The torrent client is already set to not download file types I don’t want, so will it recognize and remove torrents that are empty? (everything’s marked ‘do not download’) I’m having a hard time finding documentation for that.
