Right ?! Networking is voodoo witchcraft.

I was bored and decided to actually read wtf the deal is with IPv6 since my ISP gave it but never bother to know more.

All my devices can reach the ipv6 internet without me touching it, so I thought at least I could learn how to replicate my pretty simple lab but with v6.

3 days later I still have no clue how to assign static addresses properly. What do you mean each device have multiple addresses?? Android (google) didn’t support dhcpv6? Wtf is SLAAC ?

The DHCPv6 on Android Soap Opera as they called it, pretty fun read.

Also the folks at IPv6 sub seem to be majority professional because they can actually parse the RFC spec and treated it like mandatory Ed. Pretty nice and welcoming comm all thing considered.

It’s a whole rabbit hole and I still don’t know if my IPv6 is good IPv6 or not, and with bottom of the barrel equipment looking for guide is a pain. IPv6 content in general is pretty sparse even within the self hosting comms.

The simplest would be renting a VPS I think.

I grabbed an Oracle free-tier many moons ago. The x86 one with 4 gig of memory I think? The arm have a much more core and memory but unless you go with Pay As You Go (PAYG) account ( need a one time refundable $100 credit) it’s virtually impossible to grab it.

My free tier account is sufficient as pure VPN for accessing stuff, you get 10 TB/month egress traffic. The downside is it’s Oracle, and you are at their mercy ( they can purge it without notice )

I never tried it because CGNAT but maybe Dynamic DNS could also solve this.

Other than that, Tailscale / CF tunnel etc are a fine solution ( for now )

I don’t think they proposed an all or nothing attitude. We as individuals can do “something”.

It’s reduce, reuse and recycle.

Like the one you’re replying to, my phone is a 6 years old flagship, bought it 3 years ago similar case with most of my electronics, I bought it used.

Got pretty old solar panel, little battery but meaningful capacity.

I’m no vegan but since I’m SEA-an majority of my diet is plant based anyway. And it’s not enough to fully sustain myself but I do grow a few kitchen staple.

Use public transport, if none available then vote for whoever proposed it.

I know it’s a drop in the bucket in grand scheme of things. But that’s the extent me as normal individual can do and I’m content.

Lol.

Yeah the characters probably messing with something.

I can see the profile on my android client (Sync)

how would you know it’s actually me, and not someone impersonating me?

Well, yeah the assumption here is that we both already knew and trust each other IRL and you personally give me this contact info and the check is there to make sure I was actually connected to you.

We as layman didn’t do this but I would assumed someone who is a high profile target actually do this kinds of checks.

You and me both.

But after pondering the orbs for a minute I think they’re saying, that it’s just Emissary trying to get E2EE working and not Fediverse as a whole.

And they follow with some objection with the proposed draft. I can only comment on the 3rd one, it basically mean you need other channel of communication to manually compare fingerprint (i.e via Matrix/Signal) to make sure your activities on Emissary is actually encrypted, maybe lol.

I remember that, looks like the site is no longer available.

Configurability? I mean Truenas Scale is also based on Debian, but it’s an appliance software, if you want NAS it’s purpose made for that. You need to configure Debian yourself if you want functioning NAS.

I still remember when TN doesn’t have native Tailscale apps/docker yet and everytime there’s a Truenas update I need to reinstall and set up Tailscale from scratch.

If you just need a NAS with basic apps/docker, there is no reason to just use Truenas.

I use both, but run a Technitium DNS and Frigate on bare Debian.

Ente

I don’t own an e-reader but if I’m not mistaken, kavita has a KOReader plugin so it probably possible to use it with an e-reader, android reader has many more options I think.

I watch a bunch of weekly anime stuff myself. Never have to worry about transcoding with my devices (locally) and just directplay it. Unless I watch it remotely then it transcodes, I never mess with the default settings and it’s fine.

My cpu is i3 8100 so I think you would be fine as well, unless it’s multiple streams at once I have no reference for that.

What did you dislike about synfonium? I’m considering switching since I don’t have a plex subscription anyway so I did not get to enjoy the sonic analysis featured etc.

Intro skipping works pretty well once you set it up and give it time to scan.

Iirc the feature used to be an add-on with module and I read here somewhere it now baked in out of the box, is that the case ?

You may wind up transcoding even if you think you really shouldn’t have to

I thought there’s an edge case somewhere but from your explanation I don’t think I need transcoding for video. Not that I don’t want it.

My NAS is old, like, i3 2100 old. So I just make sure the media can be played directly on my 2 client locally, so I don’t know how much HW transcode improve the performance but if it’s usable, that’s a nice bonus. Maybe if I ever get a 4K display but that’s a problem for future me.

I spent a lot of time getting the metadata right in Plex

Pretty much yeah, I really don’t wanna mess with the music library

Thanks for the answer.

I think I’ll give it a try then.

Is there any consensus which client is better for desktop and android ?

Thank you.

Since you run both, I have a few questions if you don’t mind.

I don’t have a plex pass but, so the only feature I want is intro skipping and from what you mention I understand it needs tinkering. Acceptable for me.

My usage is pretty simple if I migrate to Jellyfin do I need to fuck around with my folder structures ? No special case just /movie/title | tv/title in my use-case with the usual arr stack for grabbing.

The client used currently is a desktop client on arch/windows and I don’t need hardware transcoding. The server and libraries are on Truenas.

I don’t need remote playback for movies/tvs but I have no idea how to replace Plexamp and if you have suggestions, feel free to mention it.

Yeah, Linux user can/willing to read instructions that (the important part IMO) unfamiliar to them, that’s like not what average user would do.

Most users know how to install something on Windows, they’ve used it since they were toddler and whether or not you think it’s a better experience in Linux is irrelevant.

Most software they need in Windows has a giant download button on the respective site, double click the downloaded file and you’re done.

99% of the time you can immediately start the program or there will be a shortcut on the desktop.

Also, gaming. Like it or not it is a casual workload, and it’s not as straightforward on Linux.
