Not just safer doors, we need outdoor doors. Doors on building roofs. In courtyards. In amphitheaters. Doors everywhere!

The right would be screeching about fema death camps

I noticed the article mentioned Dropbox, g drive, and OneDrive and I was curious and from searching around it seems you can also use ftp and ssh. That’s super cool, being able to script an auto backup to my NAS makes this a lot more appealing.

IIUC apple went straight from 15 to 26, so that’s kind of confusing.

My homelab has been mostly on autopilot for a while. Synology 6 bay running most lighter weight docker stuff (arrstack, immich, etc) and an Intel nuc running heavy stuff (quicksync transcodes for Plex+jf, ollama). Both connected to digitalocean via WG for reverse proxy due to CGNAT.

I had my router SSD either die or get corrupted this past week, haven’t looked much at the old SSD besides trying to extract the config off of it. I ended up just fresh installing opnsense because I didnt have any recent backups (my Synology and nuc back up to rsync.net, but I haven’t gotten around to automated backups for my router since it’s basically a plain config, and my cloud reverse proxy which is just a basic docker compose + small haproxy config). Luckily my homelab reaching out to the cloud reverse proxy means there’s basically no important config on my router anymore, they just need DHCP and a connection.

Besides that the arrstack just chugs along on its own.

I recently figured out I can load jellyfin playback URLs into vrchat video players, either direct stream or through the transcoding pipeline as an m3u8 that live transcodes based on the url parameters you set. This is great because the way watch parties in VRChat works is that everyone in an instance loads the same URL pasted into media players and syncs the playback. That means you need to have a publicly accessible url (preferably with a token of some sort) that can be loaded by an arbitrary number of unique IP addresses simultaneously, which I don’t think is doable with Plex.

I’m now working on a little web app to let me log into Jellyfin, search/browse media, and generate the links with arbitrary or pre-set transcode settings for easy copy/pasting into VRChat. The reason it’s needed is that Jellyfin only provides the original file without transcoding when you use the “copy stream” option, so I believe the only way to get a transcoded stream url currently is to set the web interface to specific settings and grab the URL from the network. But that doesn’t let you set arbitrary stuff like codecs and subtitle burn in and overriding what it thinks you support. So a simple app to construct the URL will make VRChat watch parties a lot easier.

I’d say download everything and keep track of what you can’t find, then rip those because there will probably be people in the data hoarder or lost media communities who would love to hoard and share it.

I remember going to defcon in 2016 and there was a guy wielding a foam sword with a qr code t-shirt that said “scan me”, and when you scanned it and told him it said “arrrr”, he’d beat you with the sword while berating you for scanning an untrusted code.

Damn I’m just realizing that was almost 10 years ago

I think you’ve exactly described why some people need a VPN. My ISP does 3 strikes when they get complaints :/

The new beta timeline is sooo smooth! I finally don’t hate scrolling back to find a specific old photo. The scrolling performance feels completely native to me now.

Run a DHT crawler? It can be a bit resource intensive (I ran magnetico for a while) and it’ll take a while for it to index enough old stuff for the new discoveries to be actually new, but you’d get a fully decentralized continuous feed of newly discovered torrents that doesn’t depend on any centralized infrastructure, just the decentralized bittorrent DHT swarm.

To get a picture of what it looks like, you can check out btdig, it’s the same thing so if you click on “recent findings” at the bottom you’ll see what a recently found feed of DHT looks like.

I think what you want is an EDID emulator with passthrough or whatever it’s called. EDID is how a monitor tells a device what resolution to send and other info. Some cheap HDMI splitters, adapters, audio extractors, etc will let you emulate a specific EDID. One of my audio extractors lets you fake stereo vs surround support to trick the source into sending surround - I think that’s also through EDID - since if you’re trying to extract surround, it might be because your real TVs EDID is for stereo I assume. So you probably want something like that in before the switch so that the laptop always thinks something is plugged in. Your switch seems to be too smart in actually passing through the real monitor’s EDID so the laptop is able to see when it switches.

Open webUI connected to ollama can do this. In openwebui, if you edit any one of your responses, it forks the conversation. You can flip between each branch using the arrows below any of your responses. If you click the 3 dot menu and click overview, it opens a graph view that shows the branches of the conversation visually.

Fwiw Anubis is adding a nojs meta refresh challenge that if it doesn’t have issues will soon be the new default challenge

I give all my friends the choice between Plex and jellyfin (I run both containers side by side pointed to the same media folders) and they all invariably choose Plex. I think it has a lot to do with the jellyfin UI, and I think an overhaul like jellyfin-vue or something that looks like findroid needs to happen in order for jellyfin to really appeal to regular people.
