Either that or charging a micro transaction for loading the page. But yeah the goal is to make it cost a small amount that is insignificant to a regular user but adds up to a huge amount at the scale of a spam farm. And it’s also the same rationale behind hashing passwords with multiple rounds. It adds a tiny lag when you log in correctly but adds an insane amount of work if you’re checking every phrase in a password cracking dictionary using an offline attack because it adds up. (In the online scenario you just block them after a few attempts)

Things around me aren’t that far per se, but you have to cross a 45mph road (where people regularly drive 55-60 because it’s designed like a highway) along several sections of unconnected sidewalk if you want to get there without a car. The sidewalks are 4ft wide at most and have no separation from the car lanes so you have to walk with cars whizzing by just a couple feet from you. There’s also no shade.

For reference - it takes 5 minutes to drive to the nearest grocery store 1 mile away, but walking it’s 31 minutes with the unpleasant conditions I mentioned. So I’ve never walked there. I could bike and it would take 10 minutes, but biking along cars at 50mph doesn’t sound fun. I also live on a bike path, but it doesn’t go to the nearest grocery store so the nearest one along the bike path would take the same amount of time as if I walked to the nearest one (25 minutes). That one is 3.5 miles (11min) by car or a 1hr walk.

Well, apparently lots of people here who are familiar with ripping and burning CDs found it confusing - so I don’t think it’s dumb to point out the confusing wording, especially to clarify for those who don’t know that burning means writing and ripping means reading. I at least initially recoiled in horror at the thought of burning data onto the rare find.

The least they could do is say that they burned a copy/blank or ripped the original instead of mixing it up and saying that the original was burned. It makes it sound like they were writing to the original.

Does the other iOS user have 18? I’m the 1 android user in a 3 person group chat and I’m wondering if I should try to get one of them to update.

Hah I wish we could ignore them. It seems to just vary from ISP to ISP in the US but our small town ISP turns off your connection and puts you behind a captive portal forcing you to click through and accept what you did wrong before your connection is turned back on.

Yes I do this. Same exact library folders so I can let my friends use whatever they prefer. If everything is named in a Plex friendly way it should just work in jellyfin.

My main complaint is when it decides to just stop casting to Chromecast in the middle of episodes randomly - then I have to open the app, reconnect, and resume.

Also I find the Chromecast controls stop responding frequently making it so I can’t pause what I’m watching - it’ll like disconnect from the Chromecast but keep playing.

My partner also complains about lots of bugs on the iOS app.

Our ISP sends 3 strike letters :(

I would just accept the terms and disable wifi, or if you don’t want to double nat just use a switch and accept the terms / login on every device connected to the switch.

Is running a pds really equivalent to running your own instance? As I understand it, 2 friends running their own pds cannot federate without the centralized relay which still can’t be self hosted.

I’ve done a backup swap with friends a couple times. Security wasn’t much of a worry since we connected to each other’s boxes over ssh or wireguard or similar and used tools that allowed encryption. The biggest challenge for us was that in my selfhosting friend group we all prefer different protocols so we had to figure out what each of us wanted to use to connect and access filesystems and set that up. The second challenge was ensuring uptime and that the remote access we set up for each other stayed up - and that’s what killed the project as we all eventually stopped maintaining the remote access and nobody seemed to care - so if I were to do it again I would make sure all participants have alerts monitoring their shared endpoint.

I tried the .ps one and it worked for me

Federation sounded interesting so I looked at the website and it sounds like on prem can’t yet federate with people using “cloud” which I guess is the hosted version - they can only federate with other on-prem instances.

It looks promising though and would be cool to host my own instance and still chat with friends.

I wonder if this is related to sync having the same issue. I frequently find threads with 5-10 comments but nothing shows up. I don’t have anybody blocked whatsoever and the issue happens on posts from various instances, even my own. Maybe this could be a bug that affects both apps. When I load these threads in browser it looks fine.

You can achieve a similar thing using vlans - usually by default they’re isolated but you may add specific rules that allow traffic between vlans if it meets certain criteria (specific ports, specific types of traffic, traffic to or from specific hosts, any combination of those). So yeah you can imagine client isolation being like having each client on their own vlan - except without needing a different subnet for each client.

To add to the other reply, client isolation is about controlling whether an ap, switch, or router willingly sends traffic between clients. Because of that, it doesn’t kick in if you listen to packets over the air before they’ve been received by an AP. For that kind of security you need a wifi specific security measure - which I think “enhanced open” is what you’d be interested in. It allows you to have an open passwordless wifi but it generates temporary encryption keys for each connected client, then the rest is as if it was using WPA, so that you don’t need to enter a password but your traffic gets encrypted and protected from anyone else listening in on the WiFi.

If you combine both then you should have a network where each device is isolated both over the air and from a routing perspective so that each device only sees an Internet connection and no other devices.

The same way filebot and any other tool does - the file needs to have some label, either an absolute episode number or a season + episode number. I’m not aware of any tool that is able to look at the contents of the video to figure out which episode it is visually without any information from the filename - but I’d be happy to be proven wrong because I would be impressed.

Sonarr/radarr does analyze the content somewhat but that’s just for gathering resolution, codec, HDR, audio languages, and subtitle information, which can all be added to the filename format for inclusion during renaming.

I second using sonarr/radarr, once imported it detects episodes and lets you one click rename to a specific format and folder organization.

If you don’t want any of the other features of sonarr/radarr (like having a way to filter and manage your collection to see what’s in what quality or from what release group, searching multiple indexers with a single search, being able to send a specific search result to a downloader and have it automatically imported and organized when complete, or have auto downloading based on requests using scoring rules that you set), then there’s also filebot which a lot of people seem to like and seems to be just for matching with online metadata and renaming.

But I haven’t tried filebot since I like the extra features and capabilities of sonarr/radarr. It makes it easy to manage several library folders like an archive for anything that’s been reviewed, is complete, and in a quality/codec that I’m satisfied with, and keeping track of currently airing shows in my active folder which is where I also keep auto downloaded stuff I haven’t reviewed.

Probably because he already did an nft collection apparently, according to the article.
