It is very doable.

Take a look at https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun - it’s what I use for this.

Speed of light says no

That would be cool.

I guess my AMD Bulldozer TV PC is gonna have to go in the ewaste bin though. Its already stretched to its limit running Linux Mint, Firefox, uBlock Origin and Sponsorblock as it is

Praise the sunaurus!

Device? All instances of torrent clients I use run in Kubernetes pods. I then access my Linux ISOs over NFS shares hooked up as PersistentVolume mounts

For 2024 especially it’s pretty fucking bad yeah. I’m really not a handheld guy but in 2016 it didn’t seem as terrible. Only ever used mine out of its dock for a total of a couple hours

Hardware encoding is really great to have on a server. A lot of the time you wouldn’t even think about its existence in a desktop use case but if you monitor resource metrics on a server you can see how huge of a help it is.

I use an old 7700k for my media server. Took a little stint of configuration to pass the integrated graphics device from the Proxmox hypervisor, into the k8s worker node VM, and then into the Jellyfin pod, but very much worth it. Jellyfin x264 1080p transcoding now takes roughly a third of the CPU resources compared to doing it all in software.

what is subtitle burn-in?

Love that episode. The smartass replicator is often quoted in my family lol

It reads like ChatGPT with the bullet point styling removed. At least, the half of the thing Medium would let me read without signing in did. No Medium, I’m not creating an account or paying you to read AI copypasta garbage

I always torrent Linux ISOs. Built in checksumming, I’m lazy

Have they also blacklisted all IP addresses of all server hosting services in NZ?

If not, theoretically one could rent some cheap VPS type thing, install a VPN server of one’s choice then connect to it.

Because of Step 3.

Anti porn laws, “child protection” laws, cryptographic attestation of client devices (windows 11 TPM requirement anyone), it’s all headed in a very scary authoritarian direction

Pro tip: If you use Porkbun, don’t leave your domain’s authoritative DNS with Porkbun nameservers.

Over the year or so I had my stuff configured this way, on at least one occasion (that I know about… I was still setting up my observability stack during this year), the servers were flapping hard for over a day, causing my records to magically vanish from existence intermittently.

I tried contacting them every way I could, hell I even descended into the quagmire of Twitter and created an account so I could tweet at them… and got silence.

Pretty disappointing. I ended up moving all my DNS to AWS Route 53 after a few hours of pulling out my hair. They did eventually respond to my email like a day later, after I’d already moved everything over.

But idk maybe I’m wrong expecting an indie domain registrar to have super high availability on their nameservers… oh well

I am a dev and I concur. I’ve also noticed golang projects are more likely to be good quality compared to projects written using most other popular languages

As to why that is… well, all I can really do is compare languages on their details and make some kind of speculative guess at the sociological implications lol

I don’t see golang frequently picked for use in your stereotypical “enterprise business factory REST microservice” project. Typically it’s like, for infra projects. At least in my experience. So that probably has a lot of downstream impacts on our perception of quality. Hmm

oh man…

People can be such dicks, you have my sympathy.

I’ve been thinking about open sourcing a Node project of mine recently… concerning that this is the kind of thing to expect

That guy is a fucking loser

Ah yes the urge to kiss boys and conquer territory
