Use Proxigram. It works, most of the times.

My optiplex with i5-6500TE can transcode 4K videos easily if the codec is AVC. HEVC is different story though. Any CPU newer than 10th generation would be more than enough for your needs, I'd say.

nutbutter ,

6th gen's integrated GPU cannot decode HEVC.

I am a vegan with a manbun, but I use Fedora.

I wrote a small blog about bypassing CGNAT using TLS-passthrough. Cloudflare uses TLS-termination, which means they can see all the data being passed through, which defeats the purpose of privacy.

nutbutter ,

I am not sure, actually. Look at the sources, and you'll find the original GitHub link from where I took it. I am not very well versed with iptables.

nutbutter ,

Yes, it is fairly easy. You just have to forward the http headers. I am using HAProxy, and you can look at my configuration file in the blog. If you're using something like Nginx Proxy, look up how to forward http heards. Some applications, like Nextcloud, require extra steps, but they also provide their own documentation.

nutbutter ,

If you are using the exact rules mentioned in my post, only the ports of your machine will be forwarded, not your entire local network. If you want to forward ports of more than one machine, look at the github link in the sources, it contains a detailed documentation of how to achieve that. Since, I do not know a lot about iptables, I may not be the best person to guide you, in this case. However, feel free to DM me, I'll might be able to help.

nutbutter ,

I am not sure what you mean.

The issue is, when using Cloudflare, they will terminate your TLS, then encrypt the data again with their own certificate, which is send to the visitor. When visitor interacts, their data is decrypted on Cloudflare's servers, which they encrypt again eith our original certificate and send it back to us.

Sure, hackers or sniffers might not be able to look at the sensitive data, but Cloudflare can. But do they, or do they not, is upto you, if you trust them or not.

nutbutter ,

All ports are forwarded. If your SMTP is running on, say, port 993, on your local machine, your-VPS-ip:993 will be your SMTP.

nutbutter ,

Not sure. Will have to try it out.

I've tried hosting an nginx server. It is fun, but I wouldn't rely on it for production use cases.

I've also seen some people run docker on their android devices.

I own an Omen 15 inch with 3060. It has some issues but it works fine. However, my next one will definitely be AMD.

One major issue is that I have to use my desktop manager (mutter, for Gnome on Fedora) with the Nvidia drivers, not the integrated GPU of AMD, otherwise external monitors do not work at all. This is a problem because dedicated GPU cannot go to sleep amd constantly uses at least 15 watts, reducing the battery life.

Another issue is, a lot of times, my laptop won't wake up after sleeping. I have checked the logs, and I am 90% sure that it is because I login to my desktop manager using dedicated GPU. If you don't need an external monitor, or if you have a dedicated mux switch, you should not have to face any of these problems.

A few minor problems are that I cannot use the official builds with Nvidia drivers, if I want to use secure boot. For secure boot, I have to rely on third party developers for this. An issue I saw sometime ago was, when I used Manjaro, my maximum TDP of the GPU never exceeded 79 watts. When using Fedora, ot goes up to 95 watts. On Windows it used to go upto 100 watts. Also, there are some softwares like keyboard lighting manager, bios updater etc, which work on Windows only, not even on a VM. Also, the fans never exceed 4099 RPM on Linux, whereas on Windows they could go upto 6500. But I have always seen Linux to be 10-20% faster in my Blender render tests.

I hope this helps. If you have any questions, feel free to DM.

nutbutter ,

Will it be called WFCE?

nutbutter ,

A lot of times, I re-watch films. It helps with starting a film from a specific point, or skipping a boring scene.

Another reason is that I often show my friends and family some cool stuuf from between the films, like recently, I showed a cousin Neo vs Smiths scene from Matrix Reloaded, and I didn't have to hunt for it.

Chapters make a lot of finding stuff easy.

Another use case can be, someone recorded a video of a family function and added scenes in post production for easy seeking.

I was using Protonmail, and their other services, and was a paying customer for over a year. But I stopped because of their poor Linux support, and not being able to receive email notifications on my de-googled phone. I made a shift to mailbox.org and am liking it. Yes, I have to manage my own PGP keys, but the experience is much better, in my opinion. Their storage even supports WebDAV. I can encrypt the whole inbox and the files stored in their drive with my own key.

nutbutter ,

Joplin can be a multi-user solution as well. I use Joplin with Nextcloud. If you don't want to share notes just use Joplin and every user can use the same nextcloud instance, but different user accounts, to save their notes. If you want to share all the notes, all the users can synchronise with the same Nextcloud user. You can make different notebooks for different users. All the users, however, can see and edit notes. Joplin cannot be a solution if you want to share some notes. It is either all, or none.

Logseq can be another solution, with the same technique. However, you can use git to synchronise different databases, where one database is used in shared notes and personal databases for non-shared notes. I host my own Gitea (will soon shift to forgejo) to synchronise my Logseq databases.

nutbutter ,

Thank you for these suggestions. But I have a few questions.

How can I do the 2nd and 3rd point if I am using docker/podman containers?

Why is ClamAV useless?

nutbutter ,

Joke transfer unsuccessful. Server crashed. Time to update the joke server.

nutbutter ,

AFAIK, Piped always proxies the videos through a server.

I am more familiar with Invidious. Find an Invidious server that lets you enable proxying. Some examples are yewtu.be, invidious.protokolla.fi and inv.nadeko.net. Then find an RSS app that lets you download the content, as well as supports cookies. Use the invidious server's cookies in your RSS app to proxy the content you download. Invidious servers can provide RSS feeds for individual channels, as well as your complete subscription feed.

And if possible donate a dollar or two, regularly, to the invidious server that you use, since it takes up a lot of bandwidth and motivates the hoster to keep up what they are doing.

Half of me wants to upvote this. Half of me wants to downvote this.

Thanks! But I am not much of a gamer.

Problem with Jellyfin on Fedora and Ubuntu

I installed Jellyfin on an iMac running Fedora 39/Gnome and it was running more or less without any issues. However, I wanted to have the iMac on a VPN which would prevent accessing content indexed by Jellyfin elsewhere. So I installed Ubuntu on an old Mac Mini that I had, planning to make it a NAS box as well as host...

nutbutter ,

I use my old MacBook air as a home server. I have installed Jellyfin via podman on Fedora 38. Containers make things a lot easier.

I recommended using linuxserver.io's image.

nutbutter ,

What mildly infuriating to me, and possibly others, is that you posted a YouTube link.

nutbutter ,

You could try seitan. It is basically pure gluten. People say it has a very meat like texture (I've never tasted meat so I cannot tell you for certain).

nutbutter ,
  1. If you are self hosting for privacy, I recommend staying away from Cloudflare, that is, not to use their proxying service or Cloudflare tunnel.

I experienced this on my Galaxy Tab A7 (in India), a few years ago. Using Universal Android Debloater got rid of this.

nutbutter ,

When I minimize a game or any program running with either proton or Wine, it crashes. Can someone help me with this?

I'm using Fedora 38, Wayland and Nvidia GPU.

nutbutter ,

I think I remember reading such a post where the person was saying that they are trying to develop such a solution, but it was work in progress. It was an old post, and I think they had abandoned it.

nutbutter ,

I have been trying to find such a solution but I couldn't. I have scraped almost every Reddit post I could find on this topic but I could not find a solution that works for me. So I ended up making a simple table on Nextcloud notes. Along with that I used the Organic Maps app which is based on OSM. I just downloaded the maps I needed onto my device and I pinned some locations that I wanted to visit.

All the work was done manually. I would really appreciate if someone can develop such a solution. I am even willing to donate a few dollars.

nutbutter ,

You can keep your vim. I am happy with my nano.

Questions about TLS Passthrough.

Hi. I have been into self-hosting for about 2 years, now. My current setup is that I have a home server and a VPS. My ISP does not let me forward any ports (I am behind CGNAT, I think), so, I have connected my home server to a VPS via a WireGuard tunnel and am using Nginx Proxy Manager (NPM) to proxy the services hosted on my...

nutbutter OP ,

Thank you for your response. Just one more question... If I am not forwarding any ports, will I be able to generate and renew certificates on my home server? As far as I know, the domain needs to point to the IP which is generating the certificates, right?
