you could look into other ways of pirating, that don’t necessarily require a vpn, instead. in may country it’s mainly problematic to use torrents, because you automatically are sharing stuff as well. IRC is something that I never had a problem with, for example. you’re only downloading and it doesn’t cost you anything. there are xdcc search engines out there. The downsides are that it’s a bit nerdy (is it a downside. though?) and you’ll mostly find current mainstream content.

totally would

yes thank you!

what’s the technical basis for this anyway? is it safe to use without a vpn (ie. is it using p2p connections). didn’t find something immediately in the docs, maybe someone can shed some light?

i like fruit, so I have kiwi, mango, …

that’s a good idea. i have some of my configurations under version control, but mostly on codeberg. not sure how renovate integrates there…

The bot consumes the atom feed of a repository, but I don’t use a feed reader. you could also just let Github notify you for new releases. But I don’t pay much attention to github notifications either. I’m a lot more likely to notice something like that if it’s integrated into my social media consumption.

Amazing, thanks for your work!

same here: my “subscribed” timeline showed all kinds of posts from communities I never heard of. Only in my app (Boost) though. resetting the app fixed it.

I absolutely do, not necessarily on the pirating tools I use , though.

you mean without a dynamic hostname in between? but then you would still need to know about a changed prefix, wouldn’t you?

I assume you have a dynamic ip. what I did for that scenario: setup a dyndns hostname somewhere, configure a subdomain (e.g. jellyfin.example.com) with a cname dns record pointing to the dyndns hostname. you will have to setup updating of the dyndns hostname, this can be done in the fritz box and port forwarding to your jellyfin pc.

I have my music organized by artist and (mostly) album subfolders. My music is also tagged and that’s what really matters most to me in terms of Navidrome.

Did you know about !navidrome@discuss.tchncs.de , btw?

Look in the network settings, you should see the option there. I’m not on my notebook right now, so I can’t tell exactly, sorry…

You can bind qbittorrent to the vpn network interface. If it’s not there, no traffic. That’s my approach.

Yeah, I got it with their Kubuntu version TuxedoOS and I’m pretty happy with it.

I had a Macbook Pro before and it’s company hardware, so price wasn’t a concern for me, but I understand my privilege there…

Tuxedo InfinityBook and quite happy. It has great specs and looks good. It tends to get quite warm, but I’m not too bothered by that…

Funkwhale is very nice as well, but it’s not as easy to administrate - I have been running an older version for quite some time and didn’t succeed in updating to a newer version. Also, it supports some features (like federation) that I don’t need. So Navidrome is just a better fit for me…
