Block the trolls, I just did!

I’ve run yacy and searxng, and I find yacy flaky. I get really random search results, often not useful at all. I like Searxng though, although once in a while I have to hit refresh to get my result. Probably a simple fix, I’ve just never bothered to go down the rabbit hole.

I tried to start with OpenStack. Oof. Yup. Proxmox.

There are a lot of good guides. I run almost everything on proxmox these days, even virtualized my Windows, and (after a lot of messing around) got my GPU passed through for when I game.

So, I tried that a long time ago, and it didn’t work. Tried it again today, same deal. Then, I tried a third time and actually hit the “Save” button this time… Yeah, I think Jellyfin was never the problem.

I’ve had both for a while now, but I find that subtitle playback is a bit spotty in Jellyfin. Is that fixed, or have I missed a setting somewhere? The other thing is that my libraries are alphabetical in Jellyfin, so “Anime” comes before “Kaiju”, and I truly can’t stand the idea that Godzilla gets sent to the back of the bus. Is there a way to customize the order of libraries?

I run each of them separately in containers!

I really like running proxmox and then containers for my apps, proxmox being basically Debian already.

I tried a couple of years ago, but it kept crashing after a day or two. Not sure if I set it up wrong or something? Currently running searx-ng, which I quite like.

Yup! PFBlockerNG. I thought the GeoIP thing from Maxmind was paid, since the setup asked for a license key. Nope, free. Just had to register.

I just set up some geofencing on pfsense, found alot of traffic that I didn’t know was happening. That freaked me out.

I have immich running in a VM in proxmox… There’s ML? What does it do? I have internet facing stuff behind a reverse proxy, but I use two different subnets for different kinds of traffic, no issues. My 192.168.0.0/24 network does not everything, but I move files around Plex and immich and stuff on a separate 192.168.3.0/24 network. I imagine you could do the same thing without too much trouble.

That’s the one I’m using, actually. It’s stable for web calls and stuff, but if I get a notification and go to open it, it freezes and shuts down on me maybe once every few tries. I usually just rerun it and it’s fine. Thanks for the suggestion though!

My classes? All windows, except half the teachers want you working in a Linux VM… I cut out the middleman. A few issues with VMware and Packet Tracer, and the Teams for Linux crashes too often for my tastes, but I’ve been two and a half semesters, and only had two hiccups with Office online/Libre Office compatibility on group projects. I am so unbearably smug…

I checked, it’s still there! (It doesn’t append, it overwrites, so no, I just have a file with the current date and time accurate to within two minutes.)

I did the hackiest, lamest thing back in the day… I had my client write the current date and time to a file on the share every two minutes as a Cron job… Kept it working for months! I saw it on a forum somewhere, tried it, and… Shocked Pikachu face I don’t know if I ever disabled that Cron job! Haha!

Better not be American, bas! That’s enough to bring FBI to your door. Also, he belongs in jail, not dead.

The two things that popped into my head are Immich and Nextcloud. I think Nextcloud is generally more useful, but Immich is more specifically targeted at Photos. As for how to synchronize it… Syncthing? Personally, I hate setting up Syncthing and so I don’t really use it myself anymore, but once it’s set up, it really does take care of itself. Poke the computer once a month to make sure it’s still alive, and you’re set.

You could probably host Nextcloud at one site and just have a client computer at the next site set to auto sync everything.

Been running NextCloud for a while, not for photos, but for just general Google Drive replacement.

Love my Nextcloud. It’s my go-to for half a dozen workflows. Screw OneDrive. Screw Office. Screw Spotify. Screw Airdrop. Screw Netflix. Screw Google Photos. Screw Google Calendar… NextCloud.

I have it on a bit better hardware than a Pi though.

I have dyndns, have since they were 10$ a year, and I’ve gradually realized that my ISP changes my IP on average less than once a year…

I have it working with LaCP’d 4gb networking for the transfers. Five nodes. I agree though, It’s a beast on RAM.
