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.

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

*.bat

*.scf


Again, 👌

I've told qbit to exclude those files and many other extensions from someone's helpful comment on here previously, but the stack keeps on grabbing and seeding them, which the latter I'm a little unhappy about sharing malware.

While all the boxes on my network have no sign of Windows to get exploited it does worry me about another family members arrr stack because there is a Windows laptop down there, but thankfully not used for media consumption.

Help?


edit: big thanks to kiszkot@feddit.nu for pointing me in line separators instead of comma separated exclusions!

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.

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.

The music industry needs to die off already.

You know what I find it akin to in the industry I work in and I know this gonna cause some controversy - but the 9-5 Mon-Fri managers we have at work.

I work something called Continental shifts which are basically days/nights/days/nights on a A/B/C/D rota throughout the space of a month.

What I find telling is we run absolutely fine on weekend days and all our night shifts but, we have these what I'm going to call leeches (but the controversial term is.....Office Drones) just like the copyright fuckwads illustrated here that suddenly appear throughout the week and are a general nuisance?

They really don't do anything I can see that benefits the company/industry other than sending emails etc for others to send them a report that's readily available/start bullshit investigation etc.

They make me grumble these leeches :/

You'd think they'd include an ethernet port on the device itself.

Or, hopefully they include a power brick with a RJ45 port. WiFi for streaming large high bitrate files is less than ideal especially if it's touted as a set top streaming box.

I seem to be suffering from the above bug

https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/11139

but it only seems to pervade if I'm using Tailscale to VPN ~~home~~ to my exit node at a family members house?

Is Google / YT blocking the use of VPN's here / anyone else experiencing this?

Have you got any sources for Motorola phones coming with spyware on them?

Starting with version 0.19.0 voting also counts as being active.

aka, the lurkers 👀

I've always upvoted both posts that are on topic to the community and always to people who take the time out of their day to reply.

It's like common courtesy to me and votes are like free confetti anyways.

So I suppose the OP's figures are, off.
