Lutris + wineprefixes works great but most of the time it’s harder to configure and needs some search around the web to get it right !

Non-steam games with proton on steam works like nearly every time without to much hassle (if supported) !!

If you’re afraid of your account ban, create a dummy steam account only for your pirated games.

From another poster above, it seems only Windows machines are affected.

I guess it’s all a question of point of view and reference point. 💁 I can’t argue against your opinion on the other side.

I do agree though that from this point of view it also make sense.

Not the whole code but only the part that triggers those flags. Not everyone is versed in C to “verify the code” himself… That’s a stupid take, It’s like saying to a toddler to change his diapers on his own when it’s dirty.

Strangely enough It went from 1 trigger to 29 triggers after 1 update? Seems rather sketchy :/ In the past (pirated games/software) I would have ignored those warnings and add an exception into my firewall… But nowadays with all the crypto schemes and obfuscated code, I won’t go near anything like that.

VLC is still the best media player… But only on Windows systems. When I switched from Win->Linux I had to relearn a lot of new things that were common knowledge on Windows but work differently on Linux.

Specially Win11… Eewww !

Hi there ! Sorry my English is not that good, but I’m doing the best I can !

Actually, I do not have a VPS. I use an old spare laptop as server which handles everything.

I have Wireguard barebone installed with a a second external wireguard interface and some iptables to send all traffic to ProtonVPN.

All my containers,on the same laptop, are directly reachable via this configuration and HTTPS is handle by Treafik with my self-signed local certificates (root CA with intermediate CA).

Eg: From my mobile over WiFi or 4G I can access all my containers where ever I’m. My endpoint in my Wireguard’s confirguration (on my phone) being my home’s public IP.

I hope I answered your question? If not I’m willing to give you a diagram of my setup, this will probably clear up the confusion/question? And will probably be way more explicit than my broken English 😄.

Probably what you’re looking for is the following setup:

docker <-> services <-> reverse proxy <-> VPN <-> Internet

1. Your next step is to chose a reverse proxy to handle your requests and serve your services on port 80 and port 443. There are several choice and you have to somehow stick with it, because each reverse proxy has it’s up and downsides and learning curve:

• Treafik (that’s the one I use and is specifically made for containers)
• Caddy (Never used it but heard only good things about it)
• Nginx (this one is a beast to tame, however I heard it’s easier to setup with nginx proxy manager)

Those are the 3 big players I’m aware of.

2. You reverse proxy ready and functional you need something to access them outside your LAN. There are also several ways to achieve the same goal. The one I use and are happy with is to configure Wireguard on your server and only open the port needed to connect to it.

This is also a big part and probably this is the route of a tinkerer and have lot of personal time to spare… There are easier AIO routes that will probably save you time and energy. (Others will point you to the right direction)

3. Bonus tip

You will rapidly understand the necessity of DNS. Reaching out to your services by IP:PORT will annoy you over time, even if you save them as bookmarks. Also if you don’t assign a static IP to your containers they will change every time you restart them or reboot your server. Not very practical !!

Here you have 2 choices:

• personal mini certificate authority (totally free and personal local domains but harder to setup)
• cheap domain name with automatic certificate generation.

I personally chose the tinkerer route and learning process. But I have time to spare and while I prefer this route… It’s very time consuming and involves a lot of web crawling and books reading.

If you are interested I can recommend you a good ebook on how to setup your own mini-CA :).

Hope it helps, you are halfway through !

For those interested, John Hammond did a video a few months ago about .lnk extension (and other 16 hidden extensions on Windows).

He doesn’t go to much or to deep into the subject, but you get a general view how this could be exploitable.

Okay thank you :). We will see after a few years I guess?

It doesn’t look like an “emergency alarm” to switch over to another database. However, I was already thinking of switching every container to postgres. Maybe that’s the push needed.

Hummm… Can someone tell me if this is good news or bad news?

Generally a buy-out is mostly bad news, but I can’t tell here in this specific case.

Now that I know a bit more about security and obfuscation I rather not use any pirated games/software anymore. If they know how to crack/reverse engineer some complicated stuff, you can be sure they add some shady stuff in it.

• silent cryptominer
• info stealer
• hidden DNS ads requests
• trojan
• …

They need somehow a way to earn there living expanses ? It’s a service we think it’s free but nothing comes without a counterpart.

I don’t mind if my server is going to have to transcode for most clients

I mean AV1 is very well supported on most clients/new devices these days. While I do not know any good groups that only encodes in AV1, I personally download high quality BD rips and re-encode them to SVT-AV1 without any visual quality loss (for my personal taste and perspective).

I’m not an audiophile or videophile and do not have the necessary devices to decode high end 1080p nor 4k video streams.

About AV1 I think only iOS devices do not have a native software/hardware AV1 decoder (I migh be wrong here).

As for your question, I wish there were more encoders that do AV1 :/

Soo nya.sii is going down soon… Uuhg !

Like others said the arr stack is probably what you’re looking for. If you’re only looking to rename files sonarr will fill you in ! Look at the documentation, I only use sonarr to rename my local files !

Other thing to consider, is this cool github project TVMV which also renames the files but you need to register to create an API key from TMDB (its free and you can fill in dummy informations). But it’s less customizable. I’m only using it to rename files if their name is in a different language than English.

About metadata, I don’t know if there’s a bulk and recursive metadata editor and dunno if sonarr fills in the gap. However, mkvtool and bash scripting is probably going to be your tools here.

How I would go about it:

• rename your files with sonarr putting all the important stuff in the filename
• bash script with mkvtool to strip and copy portions of the title name and add them in the corresponding metadata field.

There’s probably a better way to stripe metadata from sites like tvdb but I’m not a dev so it’s totally out of my scope and knowledge.

Triggggerd ! Today’s ads are targeted and way more sophisticated than years ago. Maybe watch less porn? 😆

Edit: Come on guys… You lost your sense of humor? Touch some grass, stop beeing so serious about everything… uuhhhg !

What does that mean for apps like SimpleX?

Do they have to comply? :/ And if they decide like signal to retire from EU, how will that work?

I feel so bad for the long term contributors :/

The only good thing I could think off, is that someone is going to create a defederated stackoverflow alternative?

Or something similar, to bring back real human interaction…

If this wasn’t enough, This will probably raise war against corporated AI.

The proxy is also susceptible to application-level threats that the VPN is not.

You sure about that? I mean, to use a VPN your need some kind of application that could potentially be vulnerable or have some zero day exploits.

In contrary, a proxy is as simple as to forward your traffic to another computer through a SSH tunnel which doesn’t specially need some kind of application but only relies on lower level package.

Maybe I misunderstood your comment but If I’m wrong I’m agear to learn something new.

You still need someone else’s computer. Making a cloudflare proxie or other cloud platform is useless and not secure, specially if you’re torrenting or trying to hide your IP.

I’m pratically sure they even block the torrent protocol and do not allow port forwarding on most cloud VPS.

Yeah proxies are great, but only if you have somewhere to route your traffic.

Recent qbitorrent update supports cross sharing between public/i2p users.

But people have to enable the option, most public trackers aren’t aware off and most private trackers are not into sharing their well builded closed piracy club money making scheme
