DANMARK DANMARK DANMARK 🎉

Bortset fra det, så må det da kunne løses på en eller anden måde, så det kommer videre fra f.eks. feddit.dk?

Yeah but putting it on 4G gives them a reason to charge for continuous use of the system and lock them in to their web based proprietary platform.

IDK about movies/TV shows being in decline here, it seems to be in better shape now than when I first left the sea 15 years ago. New stuff, especially movies, hits the trackers way faster than they did "back then" and are easily available from public trackers. I can still find all the older things I want, granted some it only on the private trackers I'm using, but it's being kept alive. Old or niche media has always been the hardest to find with torrents, but it really feels easier now than it did when I first started out 25 years ago.

As for books, I rent most of them from my local library as e-books, strip the DRM so I can read on me reader, and immediately return so someone else can rent them. I haven't really needed to pirate a book in years by doing it this way.

Printing and binding is expensive, not to mention a waste of paper, you can't really expect them to front that cost IMO. He should have just given you the PDF instead printing it.

The phrasing of the law would most likely allow use of VPN for commercial use but ban for private use, so it's unlikely to have a major impact on coorporate IT work in general.

The article also mentions this VPN ban in a context of VPN services being marketed specifically for piracy use as the scope rather than "legitimate" VPN services in general.

But yeah, these people can get bent...

I'm travelling for the moment, and usually I just access my home network with tailscale and it has always worked flawlessly. But the hotel I'm staying at apparently blocks VPN connections, I can't use my regular VPN for work on their network either and I've tried obfuscation,different ports etc. nothing seems to work and it never connects.

How can I circumvent this, if at all? I'm staying for several weeks, so this is a pretty bug issue.

How do you handle backup? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I'm running my media server with a 36tb raid5 array with 3 disks, so I do have some resilience to drives failing. But currently can only afford to loose a single drive at a time, which got me thinking about backups. Normally I'd just do a backup to my NAS, but that quickly gets ridiculous for me with the size of my library, which is significantly larger than my NAS storage of only a few tb. And buying cloud storage is much too expensive for my liking with these amounts of storage.

Do you backup only the most valuable parts of your library?

Why does the US get to be in charge of this?

America, fuck yeah!

Financially? Definitely not

But it's an enjoyable (and occasionally frustrating) hobby, so I'd say it's worth it.

Im running qbit in docker and haven't had a single issue with it.

Yeah the documentation (if it even exists) of most projects is usually clearly written by people intimately familiar with the project and then never reviewed to make sure it makes sense for people unfamiliar with it. But writing good detailed documentation is also really hard, especially for a specialist because many nontrivial things are trivial to them and they believe what they're writing is thorough and well explained even though it actually isn't.

The chassis/case is definitely not designed for that kind of load for extended periods of time.

I sweat a lot when I exercise. After an hour of running at medium intensity (~150bpm avg HR) in 20°C @ 50% humidity, I am literally drenched in sweat. I can wring my clothes and sweat will pour from it. It's difficult to find clothes that are comfortable to wear for my long trips.

I want to add Pokemon Journeys to my jellyfin server, but jellyfin fucks up everything because it thinks it the regular Pokémon show from 1997 and imports metadata for that.

How can I fix this so it shows up correctly in jellyfin?

First time, it was because I was a kid that couldn't pay for the movies/music/games I wanted. The high seas provided me with a solution for that.

Then I started making money and Netflix streaming came along making it both cheap and convenient. I docked my ship and forgot about my pirate life for a long time. Everything was good, living a quiet life...

But then the corporate greed caught up and ruined everything. Streaming prices became absurd, content got fragmented to way too many services and they fucking started introducing ads.

So here I am, setting sail once again. I didn't need or want this, but they have forced my hand with their infinite greed.

I've been trying to setup Tdarr to transcode using my AMD integrated GPU instead of my CPU, but all I'm finding online is people using nvidia cards...well, I don't have one of those, but I have an AMD CPU with integrated gpu, so I wanted to use that, but apparently that's extremely uncommon and I can't find any working solutions.

Edit: I'm running Tdarr in a docker container on my OMV media server.

Edit 2: I've gotten it working, but the compression is nonexisting. A h264 -> h265 transcode increases file size by ~5%.

Needed to add my Tdarr container to the render group and pass through the dev/dri/renderD128 folder.

My gluetun VPN keeps failing the health check after running for a few hours. I found that some had fixed this by changing the update period to a shorter interval, and this worked for a while for me as well. But for the last 24h or so, it keeps failing after a few hours.

How can i fix this?

docker compose:

I've started setting up my media server and was wondering if I should put my docker containers with sonarr and radarr behind my VPN the same as my qbit?
