Mainly here to keep up with the news on Linux.

mfers raised the yearly price from 80 USD to 100 this year, and then they sent me an email that next year it’ll be 120! a 50% increase in two years, insane.
I use Photoprism, mainly because it seems stable so far, and it’s good enough for my needs

I know my setup with intel integrated gpu worked prior to the release pf 10.9. Now I can’t get transcoding to work. In the comments they suggest the kernel version has something to do with it but for me it didn’t fix it. I’ll have to troubleshoot further today
Meanwhile transcoding works fine in Plex, so I feel it may be something specific to jellyfin
Thanks for the resources, I’ll check them out later today!
Yeah I’m fairly certain it’s a permission issue. Having the gpu with permissions 666 makes it work inside the containers.
The thing is also that these container images (plex and jellyfin) create a separate user inside, instead of using the root user, and this new user (“abc” for lsio images) doesn’t get added to the same groups as the root user.
Also the render group that gets passed to the container appears as “nogroup”, so I thought of adding user abc to “nogroup” but still didn’t seem to work.
Thanks! I’ll take a look there
Yes I did the Systemd integration at the user level too and I quite like it
I managed this by using tailscale, with a kind of weird setup I think, but it just works.
I have tailscale on the VPS and my local server, let’s say its tailscale name is potatoserver
Then with Caddy on the VPS i have something like:
mywebsite.com { reverse_proxy potatoserver:port }
And so mywebsite.com is accessible on the clearnet through the VPS
Though given you’re getting rid of cloudflare tunnles I don’t know if you’d want to get into Tailscale. There’s Headscale too but I haven’t worked with it so I can’t comment
I have the adapter from Cable Matters I think and I’m fairly sure it supports VRR at 4:4:4 chroma subsampling. Tested it on a Hisense U8H. I stopped using the adapter though because on Windows it wouldn’t work with VRR, the screen would kind of go black when I moved the mouse. Not sure what it was.
I can confirm on this some time tomorrow
I would say, when playing games, if you get audio crackling, try a different kernel such as Liquorix (https://software.opensuse.org//download.html?project=home%3Ahwsnemo%3Akernels&package=kernel-liquorix). I’ve had that issue on my hardware across multiple distros, and this kernel solves it.
I believe it’s something with a kernel parameter regarding scheduling, specifically as noted in this features list (https://liquorix.net/#features)
High Resolution Scheduling: 1000hz tick rate for precise low jitter task scheduling.
You may or may not get this issue with your hardware, but if you do, then this is something you could try.
Otherwise, great distro, I’m currently on it.
I used it for a while on my laptop and I like that it comes with the BTFRS snapshots by default. I used the KDE Lite version I think it’s called.
Baldur's Gate 3 is amazing
So far this is the only place I've seen mentioned regarding video streaming, that is still up anyway:
It's not entirely clear and I don't know if this is outdated or not.
I was using their proxy for video streaming for a while, but stopped cause I would rather not risk it. Maybe for personal use it could be ok
Oh, thanks for pointing that out. Didn’t know
So I got mixed results. With remote access disabled and just using subdomain for plex, it worked on the Windows desktop app, and my iPhone too through the browser, but on my Apple TV even though I could browse the library and select any video, they would not load.
What ended up working on all my devices is essentially running plex behind a VPN, AirVPN in this case because I need the port forwarding, and enabling remote access with the port assigned in AirVPN.
I followed this guide, in case you’re interested: https://reddit.invak.id/r/PleX/comments/152kihs/guide_plex_remote_access_without_port_forwarding/
I wonder if you can get around this by using cloudflare proxy for a domain and then in the settings for the server disabling remote access and only allowing discovery through your domain? I’m not with Hetzner but I’ll give this setup a try and see how it goes.
I currently have a VPS with Contabo. I think their prices are good. They have normal VPSs for more compute power with nvme storage, and they also have what they call Storage VPS, which I assume uses SATA ssds but they give you more storage vs the other ones. I’d say give them a look
The other day I learned about endlessh. I set that up, switched my actual sshd to listen on a different port, and the ssh login attempts from randoms essentially went down to 0. Pretty neat.
Not really through Caddy but for my setup I have it so the ssh port for Forgejo is only accessible through tailscale. So for push/pulling updated my ssh config file to something like
Host git.mysite.com HostName tailscaleMachineName User git Port 1234
Then doing git pull [email protected]:user/project.git works just fine as long as I am connected to tailscale
Otherwise you could open the port for Forgejo’s ssh so that you can access it without any vpn
