debian 12.11, yt-dlp stable@2025.07.21

aim: to download the best video available with the largest height but no better than 1080p, excluding av1 as well.

What works:

yt-dlp -f bv*[ext=mp4]+ba[ext=m4a]/b[ext=mp4] -S height:1080 --all-subs

but this command downloads, if possible, av1, which target hardware doesn't support for longer than 5 minutes.

Argument I don't know to add correctly:

[vcodec!*=av01]

I tried:

yt-dlp -f bv*[ext=mp4]+ba[ext=m4a]/b[ext=mp4][vcodec!*=av01] -S height:1080 --all-subs

and other variations, but it didn't work.

second question, aborting an active download not shutting the terminal down: neither ctrl+c nor ctrl+q work and opening htop to kill the process seems overkill. What I now do is to simply shut the active tab, but there must be a faster way.

I'm curious as to why Lemmy rarely shows up in search results on the main internet even if there is a post related to the search input. I've only ever seen a Lemmy result if Lemmy is specified. Is this because we're still relatively small or some other reason?

Hi there. I m changing away from windows. I already tested some stuff. I started with fedora GNOME. But GNOME wasn't for me I felt. So I did go with Linux mint cinnamon. That felt better but not as snappy and fast as fedora. Then I did go with fedora KDE plasma and man I like KDE plasma. That's a thing for me. Then I tried because of recommendations popos with cosmic. I don't know why but it didn't felt right. So another recommendation later I tried cachy is with KDE. KDE was good but catchy gave me some erros and problems so back to fedora with KDE.

Now my real question.

1. Manjaro Linux is a European distro? Only I often see it with popos and Linux mint and fedora that these are good beginner distros? Is it stable? Customisation in KDE is the same everywhere I guess? Does many people use it? Is it really beginner friendly and snappy? Is it stable?
2. Opensuse also has KDE but it seems that its not a beginner distro. Also online its not often spoken about. Is it harder to use? Or is it beginner friendly? Customisation KDE again. Is it stable or does it break often? Does many people use it.
3. Fedora, manjaro, opensuse? Which off these with KDE is most beginner friendly and stable. Is used much so I can find help when something is going on. Customisable. Stable?

Or any other Good KDE Distros out there.

I'm trying to set up local DNS using Pi-hole.

I have successfully set up Pi-hole and added a local DNS record local.com, pointing it to the server running the Pi-hole container 192.168.0.101.

Then I set up the Audiobookshelf container using the guide from Audiobookshelf, where I set up Nginx Proxy Manager with the following compose file:

services:
  nginx-proxy-manager:
    image: docker.io/jc21/nginx-proxy-manager:latest
    container_name: nginx-proxy-manager
    ports:
      - 80:80
      - 443:443
      - 81:81
    volumes:
      - ./data:/data
      - ./letsencrypt:/etc/letsencrypt
    restart: unless-stopped

And Audiobookshelf with the following compose file:

services:
  audiobookshelf:
    image: ghcr.io/advplyr/audiobookshelf:latest
    container_name: audiobookshelf
    volumes:
      - ./audiobooks:/audiobooks
      - ./podcasts:/podcasts
      - ./metadata:/metadata
      - ./config:/config
    restart: unless-stopped
networks:
  nginx:
    name: nginx-proxy-manager_default
    external: true

I did not specify a port, hoping that Nginx could manage it.

Then I set up Nginx Proxy Manager following the guide from Audiobookshelf by adding a proxy host. ~~Trying to resolve audiobookshelf.local.com to~~ I simply followed the guide and wasn’t sure why the “Forward Hostname / IP” should be the container name audiobookshelf.

I also created a self-signed certificate.

But I cannot access https://audiobookshelf.local.com/ or http://audiobookshelf.local.com/ (it automatically forwards to HTTPS).

I tried adding a local DNS record:
audiobookshelf.local.com → 192.168.0.101 in Pi-hole.
Now, when I access audiobookshelf.local.com, the site shows:
502 Bad Gateway – openresty

I think the problem lies in the Docker network setup. I suspect the Audiobookshelf Docker container is not communicating with Nginx.

Would appreciate any help!

From North America, and I’m going on vacation in china for a few weeks. I wonder if anyone knows if I’ll be able to access any of my self-hosted services over zerotier while I’m abroad?

Edit: To be specific, I’m hoping to ssh into my machine over zerotier in case I need to fix something and back up some photos to my home NAS via rsync or something
