Appreciate the thorough reply. Mind sharing which service you used to download your Spotify tracks?

[–] brownmustardminion@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago

I feel you but I've already got curated playlists of over 3,000 songs me and friends have spent a few years putting together. I actually don't mind the idea of pulling each artists whole disco as lidarr does. My current roadblock is the lack of good resources/tools that automate the process.

Is there a way to automate downloads? As mentioned in my original post I'm hoping to essentially mirror a few Spotify playlists and have my server automatically download either all of the songs on the playlist or all of the songs by the artists appearing on the playlists.

Damn I wish I would've known sooner. Isn't there a concern of not matching the same drive similar to how you can't mix and match RAM sticks?

+1. Resolve is leaps and bounds ahead of Premiere and even After Effects when you consider Resolve has Fusion built in. I work on high level projects and often run into huge issues trying to work with Premiere projects. Most editors still use it simply because it was the first NLE they picked up. It lacks proper color management and its ability to export out to other software whether for post audio, color, or VFX is abysmal. I switched to Resolve about 5 years ago and while it isn’t without its faults, I’ll take it over Adobe bullshit any day. Sometimes I have to open editors premiere files to troubleshoot and I want to blow my brains out. Easily can wipe out an entire day just troubleshooting premiere projects. It’s funny because when I first got into the industry I was using Premiere and they were trying to push me to use Avid. I felt the same way about Avid as I currently feel about premiere.

I guess what I'm getting at is now instead of them tracing your activity to one browser or device, they can more easily group multiple devices since they're all using the same VPN IP.

I’ve been toying with this idea but with a mesh network, in my case nebula, after experiencing a similar frustration with limitations on most client devices when trying to connect to multiple VPNs.

One question I’ve been trying to answer is if routing all of these devices to a single vpn endpoint has any negative effects on privacy. Would cycling the IP randomly help to prevent trackers from putting together a profile of activity?

I use Joplin and it works great for this exact thing. Anytime I discover a new command that fixes something I’ll throw it into my Joplin notebook. “New Server Cheatsheet” goes to list in order common operations and commands for setting up SSH, UfW, making a non-root user, configuring wireguard, etc. I have hundreds of notes by now and they’re easily found via search bar.

Yeah I think we’re talking about the same thing. Got any guidance on how you set that up?

I would say pretty secure. Of course, I would ensure all of the proper firewall, app pins, 2FA are in place in case my phone was ever compromised.

I'm already accessing all of the services now over the web with authentication. This new configuration would shift thos services from being public to only devices on my private mesh network with the proper certificates.

Hmm. I’m running a 3090 and 4090. Looks like vgpu is not possible yet for those cards.

[–] brownmustardminion@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Have you tried or do you have any knowledge about utilizing the display ports on the gpu while virtualizing either in lieu or in tandem with streaming displays?

 

I have a backup server running Proxmox Backup and OMV in separate VMs. OMV provides the storage as an NFS to the proxmox backup server VM.

I have multiple remote servers that connect to the proxmox backup server but recently I keep having issues with backups. Something about file lock estale.

Is there an alternative to NFS I can use in OMV to provide the storage for the proxmox backup server?

I know there are vastly different configuration options, but I have some other things set up with OMV so I’m kinda stuck on that.

 

I self host pretty much everything, but one of the services I find makes more sense to not self host is an email server.

I’ve got a few domains I’d like to have emails for, and usually I’d go for Tutanota or protonmail. But in this instance I’m looking for something dirt cheap. These domains are for a hobby club so I’m much less concerned with privacy like I usually would be. Anybody got any recommendations?

So far namecheap seems like my best option for under $8/month. They would bundle with my domain registration and I’m assuming having both on the same service would make things pretty seamless to set up.

Not crazy concerned with privacy for these particular accounts. Namecheap or similar is reputable enough.

 

Hey guys.

Having a bit of a headache trying to get wireguard working properly through my pfsense router.

Configuration overview: VPS wireguard server set to forward all traffic from peers (it's operating as a self-hosted VPN). I have a port on my router we'll call OPT1 that I want to traffic all connections through wireguard to the VPN.

So far I have the VPS and pfsense connected successful through wireguard. They are making active handshakes and I can ping between them perfectly fine.

I followed the documentation, but my windows PC connected directly to OPT1 can't access the internet. From the PC I can ping the DHCP server of OPT1 as well as the wireguard tunnel, but I can't ping anything outside of that. I'm passing all traffic from OPT1 subnet to the wireguard interface in both OPT1 firewall rules and the wireguard interface rules.

I'm sure many of you have dealt with this configuration before. Does this issue sound familiar?

 

Twitch has gotten insufferable with ads lately. Sometimes I'm getting 3mins straight of ads.

To add insult to injury, twitch is buggy as hell and I often need to refresh and usually it loads new ads.

I used to have a special config in ublock specifically for twitch but that doesn't seem to work anymore.

Any tips?

 

After a very enlightening discussion in a previous thread, I decided to plunge into a mesh type network to connect my various servers and devices.

Nebula has been fairly straight forward to set up so far, but I’m having some trouble with the details and am curious if anybody has successfully got Nebula up and running for their network.

Installation on Linux platforms has been a breeze. Windows I can’t seem to get working. I was able to install but the service refuses to start. Can’t find any documentation besides random GitHub issue threads. MacOS was easy to install but having issues due to a VPN that’s running already.

I use a VPN because I travel a lot. I also use my MacBook to SSH into my servers or access remote file storage. My previous network configuration was connecting via wireguard to my network. I was able to do this while maintaining an always on VPN with the mullvad app. With Nebula that VPN seems to muck things up.

I’m also curious if anybody has had experience setting up a dual config for Nextcloud. Essentially accessing a Nextcloud server from nebula with a trusted device while still allowing public access for things list public shared links.

 

I had sound working fine with one problem: the center and rear right channel were swapped.

I generated an /etc/asound.conf to work on the channel swap and reloaded and now I can see the audio in pulse audio monitor, but nothing from the speakers. I deleted asound.conf and rebooted and it's now back to the previous settings but still having an issue with no sound from the speakers.

Any help is appreciated. I'm still also trying to figure out how to rearrange the surround channels so they are assigned to the correct speakers. Changing them from the hardware isn't an option unfortunately.

 

So I selfhost a number of servers in various locations and utilize a DigitalOcean VPS as a hub/gateway to transmit data between these nodes.

I have a consistent issue when running large backups or transfers in which DigitalOcean flags my server for a DDOS attack and sends traffic to a black hole for 3-4 hours.

Customer support has been the absolute worst and does fuck all to help remedy the situation in any way. These events have been consistent over the past 8 months.

Does anybody have recommendations for a solid VPS provider?

Price isn’t too much of a factor. I was running a $8/month server but I don’t mind something more expensive if the company has a good reputation for reliability and privacy.

As mentioned, I primarily use a VPS as a gateway/hub for file transfer services. I’m also hoping to spin up another VPS for static websites.

 

Can anybody lead me down the right path on this...?

I run a jellyfin server and I'd like to utilize a raspberry pi as the equivalent of a roku box / fire stick but for my jellyfin server.

I'm setting this up for a friend as a gift. He isn't very tech savvy so I wanted to make it user-friendly. I'm looking into buying a usb remote control as well.

I love the jellyin UI so it would be cool to stick with that.

What are my options? It would be ideal if the pi boots up right into the browser/player app and can be accessed/controlled via the remote like roku or similar.

EDIT: I wanted to specify that I already have a media server. This pi would serve as a client for viewing only. It will stream from the main server.
