From what I understand running high bandwidth things like video streaming through cloudflare tunnels will get your cloudflare account banned or charged (which is why they require payment info to setup tunnels).

Best to keep things like emby, jellyfin, and Plex to tailscale or just open the port.

Idk how emby works but with Plex I feel pretty safe having port open. Since any logins have to auth though Plex’s servers.

Not really directly answering your question here so feel free to ignore me. But if I’m understanding right your setup sounds like a more complicated way of doing what I am.

I put tailscale on all my devices. And in every docker compose for the ports I do. TailscaleIP:hostport:containerport

So nothing can be access on local network at all. Only through tailscale. Which I can access from any of my devices locally or remotely without opening a port. All E2E encrypted I’m pretty sure. The only con is having to trust tailscale.

I do keep Plex port open for friends though.

You could use Torbox.app. Its like debrid, but also seeds so you can use it for private trackers.

I think signal servers may be using aws hosting.

I was trying out Locus and seem pretty good. But looks like its not maintained anymore. ☹️

Well Plex has the live TV stuff you just need a tuner. So there are programs that act as tuners for IPTV. Like a middle man between IPTV and Plex. I’m still switching around trying to find one that works best. They all seem to have pros and cons. There is Xteve and Telly. Xteve is easier to setup but hasn’t been updated in a long time. There is a newer fork of xteve called Threadfin but it has a bug which keeps me from being able to add a m3u link. But I found a fork of the fork where the bug is fixed.

I finally gave up on the free streams and got IPTV. Got it streaming though Plex/jellyfin and I’m really impressed. You can stream the IPTV through stremio too for a easier setup.

It still works if you have a paid account. It use to work with free accounts.

Also I mean the FLAC. I think you might can still DL non flac with a free account.

Perfect. Thank you.

What sources are you using for lidarr? Are they private trackers?

I only download flac. But still haven’t found a source I really like since the deezer api was patched.

Check out torbox. Its like a seedbox/debrid but the pro plan also comes with Usenet. I just started using it but seems really promising.

They have been having a lot off issues lately because they don’t have enough servers yet. They are supposed to get new servers setup this week.

Depending on where you live. It could be a issue that without db you’re just straight up torrenting and may need a VPN to keep from getting copyright notices. Also it will probably buffer a lot without having the db cache.

There is a file system you can use. A alternative to ext4. I think its Btrfs. I never tried it. But it let’s you take snapshots that you can restore to. That’s not just system files but everything. And pretty sure you can use it with a disto like arch and Debian. I think that’s how snapshots work. But as I said I never actually tried it out.

If I’m understanding the question right. This is what Immutable Linux distros do. Such as Nixos, fedora silver blue, and vanilla os.

I use nixos myself. But its quite different then most distros. The way you config it and install packages. For the better in my opinion.

Something like silverblue works pretty much the same as normal Fedora except you can’t install packages like you normally would. Because the system files can’t be edited. You mostly use flatpak for everything. Except the system updates. Which you have to reboot to switch to the new updated image. But past images are saved so you can rollback if needed.

From what I understand Chromebook os is a Immutable Linux distro same as the ones I mentioned. Just with Google with built in.

This headline would have had me over the moon and ready to move to the UK if it was still pre 2020 labor party.

Unless it was a recent change factorio doesn’t “require” a account. When I host my server I disable verification and my friends who still haven’t bought it are able to join no problems. If server has verification on then they can’t.

Can someone explain why so many comments saying this is bad and want their instances to block threads? Seems like it would be a good thing to make the fediverse bigger and more accessible.

Fusion would be better, but the fission tech we have is already enough to fix the energy problem.

That just happened about a week ago for me. For the second time since I starting using them. Just randomly upped my storage and upload limit. I plan to keep my box with them for the foreseeable future. I don’t ever want to have to mess with VPN port forwarding. I have a home server I move my files to when I need more space on my box. But I don’t use the home server for torrents.
