Yes it would. In my case though I know all of the users that should have remote access snd I’m more concerned about unauthorized access than ease of use.

If I wanted to host a website for the general public to use though, I’d buy a VPS and host it there. Then use SSH with private key authentication for remote management. This way, again, if someone hacks that server they can’t get access to my home lan.

Their setup sounds similar to mine. But no, only a single service is exposed to the internet: wireguard.

The idea is that you can have any number of servers running on your lan, etc… but in order to access them remotely you first need to VPN into your home network. This way the only thing you need to worry about security wise is wireguard. If there’s a security hole / vulnerability in one of the services you’re running on your network or in nginx, etc… attackers would still need to get past wireguard first before they could access your network.

But here is exactly what I’ve done:

1. Bought a domain so that I don’t have to remember my IP address.
2. Setup DDNS so that the A record for my domain always points to my home ip.
3. Run a wireguard server on my lan.
4. Port forwarded the wireguard port to the wireguard server.
5. Created client configs for all remote devices that should have access to my lan.

Now I can just turn on my phone’s VPN whenever I need to access any one of the services that would normally only be accessible from home.

P.s. there’s additional steps I did to ensure that the masquerade of the VPN was disabled, that all VPN clients use my pihole, and that I can still get decent internet speeds while on the VPN. But that’s slightly beyond the original ask here.

A couple of options in my opinion, as I just did this myself:

You can use the CLI tool to “upload” them. You can even do this from the server itself. So upload times would be as fast as your network card can process or however fast your server is, whichever is slower. It does require that you create an API key for the user in question though.

Otherwise you can create an external library and link that to your account. Now Immich will still index this library but it won’t move or manage the actual files. I’m not sure though if it looks at those files for duplicates (i.e. if you try and upload the same photo from your phone to the server). This external library will also prevent deleting photos as well, FYI.

There might be other options that I’m not aware of, as I’ve only been using Immich for about a month now.

Edit: link to the CLI documentation: https://immich.app/docs/features/command-line-interface/

If the honeypot is set the request is simply discarded.

FYI: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honeypot_(computing)

But there should also be a separate endpoint to get an auth token. (I don’t remember it off the top of my head). Then your bot should store that somewhere and send it as the auth parameter in every request.

Fair enough. Sometimes you can’t help but go down these rabbit holes though.

How do you account for the duplicate Riker in TNG? Who’s the real one and where did the extra matter come from then to assemble William vs Tom?

(It’s been a long time since I’ve seen that episode so I don’t remember if they covered that but on-screen)

A similar question could be raised for the Rascals episode…

Not sure if I entirely understand what you’re asking but here’s my setup that sounds similar-ish that might help.

I’ve got essentially 3 machines

1. Download machine - contains Sonarr/Radar/Nzbget, etc… This machine isn’t very powerful but it has A LOT of RAM.
2. A Nas - this is where everything gets downloaded to. Primarily this machine just has a lot of HDD space.
3. Jellyfin box – Decent RAM and a beefy CPU for transcoding.

The download machine has a network share to download directly to the NAS in a special /downloads/ folder. Once a download completes Sonarr, etc… move it to it’s correct media folder.

Finally the Jellyfin machine is monitoring the media folders for changes.

I assume you could set up something similar with Plex instead of jellyfin and then store the fully downloaded files on a separate machine with a network drive, so Plex can see it. Essentially the NAS for you would be two machines one (the seedbox) for the partial downloads and a local NAS for the fully downloaded files?

Anyway, not sure if that’s what you’re looking for.

You can always try constructing the URL manually. I know this sucks, but it might be a workaround.

Long story short you just have to go to lemmy.ml and then add /c/ followed by the community name @ the instance it belongs to.

Not necessarily. I have several servers behind Cloudflare for free. I’m just limited on analytics, some advanced firewall settings, advanced cache management and maybe a few other features that I don’t use. But the basic service is free.

Unless you have an account there’s no easy way to get access to the content on the page. Once you have an account there’s technically nothing stopping you from just saving the HTML file to your computer.

Something else you can try though, assuming you don’t have an account, is to just turn off JavaScript. If the site lets you partially load the content and then asks you to create an account to read more, they usually just block the content by having JavaScript add an opaque overlay. With JavaScript disabled, obviously it’s not there to add the overlay and you’re able to keep reading.

That looks like 8.8.8.8 actually responded. The ::1 is ipv6’s localhost which seems odd. As for the wong ipv4 I’m not sure.

I normally see something like requested 8.8.8.8 but 1.2.3.4 responded if the router was forcing traffic to their DNS servers.

You can also specify the DNS server to use when using nslookup like: nslookup www.google.com 1.1.1.1. And you can see if you get and different answers from there. But what you posted doesn’t seem out of the ordinary other than the ::1.

Edit just for shits and giggles also try nslookup xx.xx.xx.xx where xx.xx… is the wrong up from the other side of the world and see what domain it returns.

Another thing that can be happening is that the router or firewall is redirecting all port 53 traffic to their internal DNS servers. (I do the same thing at home to prevent certain devices from ignoring my router’s DNS settings cough Android cough)

One way you can check for this is to run “nslookup some.domain” from a terminal and see where the response comes from.

Speaking of Black & White I just want a reboot that uses a VR headset. Any other game I couldn’t care less about VR but Black & White…

Problem is finding the difference between repost bots and bots that are helpful like automod and link redirectors.

Maybe. 2nd idea I’ve got is that if no one is replying after say 24hrs and something like 75-80% of your posts are as such and you have at least 100 such posts, you get added to the list?

Main concern I see about something like this is false positives and how someone real could end up getting blocked.

I definitely want to think on this some more but it might have some legs.

…I wonder if there’s a programmatic way to detect these bots? Some sort of analysis on their posting behavior?

If they’re playing nice they’ll have the bot flag checked in their profile, and then maybe build a list of any bot that creates posts? As most of the “good” bots just reply to comments? Anyway just thinking out loud. But I’m thinking I could easily add a public API to my search engine that just returns a list of “posting bots”…

1. Yes most trackers have something on their website to let you know what your ratio is, what you’re downloading and how long you’ve been seeding those files.
2. With the trackers I’m familiar with yes – seeding for 9d 23h 59m and 59s is the same as seeding for 0s. You’ll still get tagged with a HnR (Hit and Run)
3. You can shutdown as much as you like. But, again the trackers that I’m familiar with have a cap on the number of HnRs you can have on your account. So you might have action taken against you if you’re seeding 5 different torrents and decide to shutdown.
4. Don’t know.
5. The rest don’t appear to be questions so not sure how to respond.

Cloudflare? Namecheap?

Not sure exactly what features you’re after but the vast majority of them support what you mentioned above.

The target folder may be quite large. You can look at the dependencies for my project but my end binary is only a few MB.
