How much does it cost to say buy 500 songs? What platform allows you to download songs without DRM?

No, it was AMD knowingly reporting performance from the hidden admin user that noone is supposed to use.

Because Kodi client runs on a different machine?

The webdav server is on a pretty old device so I can't host Jellyfin or Plex on it as it can't handle decoding. The other two programs mentioned can index the library perfectly. They both identify TV series, break up the episodes into seasons, get metadata down to individual episodes and I don't need to do anything manually.

Not really, as those aren't available on Linux directly. The 'how to make kodi work' bit is because my research didn't give me any apps that can do this by default so I thought kodi might have extensions or forks I missed.

Well, that's why I'm asking for alternatives but I also know a few people who rip a ton of blurays and throw them to a server and never curate it, and those are the only people self-hosting their media that I know anyway.

It's not a mess on properly implemented clients but I also have a fraction of the media you have. I put new stuff in, they get indexed, I watch them, I delete them. I am not going to do extra work for the privilege of using Kodi 🤷

your problem is conflating the curation of your library with the applications that will use it.
This is not some extremely hard job that's way out of the scope of a media center. As I said, other platforms already have applications that can do this without breaking a sweat. I've never had to manually organize my files in years in any other platform.
I have a WebDav server that contains some movies and shows. I use Infuse on Apple stuff and NOVA Video Player on Android to watch these. The directory is not organized, file names aren't manually adjusted, and the movies and shows are mixed together. Yet, both of these programs are able to index recursively, get metadata, create a library and let me watch my media without issues. Kodi, on the other hand, seems to be unable to index nested directories, requires you to tell it what type of media is in the individual directories and cannot identify anything correctly unless I go and manually rename directories/files. It also is exclusive for TV usage and not very suitable for desktop. So, are there alternative programs to Kodi, ideally better suited to desktop usage or extensions I can install to make it work properly?

that's still a manual process for most apps I've tried
I've looked through Obtainium source code a while back and there seems to be no hash verification whatsoever. Looks too susceptible to supply chain attacks to me. I don't like that Aurora Store sends a list of installed applications to Google and the only way to stop it is to blacklist. Is there an option that combines multiple sources together like Obtainium but contains automatic hash verification for added security (I am aware updates are protected by Android)? Something I can use to download non-FOSS apps from a mirror but make sure it's the APK from the Play Store?

i'd brush the blobs off as secure boot stuff if the dev didn't ignore the issue for months. Now that's sus.

Anyone got a source on GrapheneOS recommending Brave?
Quail4789 6d ago • 100%
My user is, yes. But there has to be an exploit in sudo for the program to elevate itself using it without the user knowing, no? It's possible for sure but I'm seeing this type of a precaution on a torrent client for the first time.
Quail4789 6d ago • 100%
Has there ever been such an exploit? Given all other torrent clients I've seen just run as your user by default, is there something different in transmission over others that make it more vulnerable?
Quail4789 6d ago • 100%
Isn't that a risk for anything downloaded, assuming I run transmission as my user, not root?
I noticed Debian does this by default and [Arch wiki recommends is citing improved security and upstream](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Transmission#Choosing_a_user). I don't get why that's more secure. Is this assuming torrents might be infected and aims to limit what a virus may access to the dedicated user's home directory (`/var/lib/transmission-daemon` on Debian)?

Your question more relates to security rather than privacy. Tailscale cannot read any of your traffic. It's all E2EE. Now, is it possible that they're distributing binaries not built from the open source that contain a backdoor? Sure. But it would be an absolute shitshow, not because you and me but because of the many enterprise customers they have. So I don't worry about that. Same goes for them going rogue and accessing your devices. For that, there's Taillock which makes your devices not trust traffic from a device not signed by a trusted node in your Tailnet.
I'd much rather make use of zero-config WG, exit nodes, relay servers, not having to worry about DDNS, solid NAT travelsal, etc. than to worry a company will lose their mind and attack free-plan users.

You can just turn off new devices signing up without manual approval.
I'm seeing thepiratebay org is discouraged because it has lots of viruses due to lack of moderation. I was wondering how could an mp4 or an mkv etc. could be harmful? Are people talking about executable stuff?
I'm looking into self-hosting a SearXNG instance for my own use. One thing I don't get is how the results are aggregated if I'm using a local instance. Is it just going to all the configured search engines and making requests? If that's the case, what's the benefit of using SearXNG instead of just going to that search engine myself from a privacy perspective?
There was a cover of Hollywood's Bleeding by VUKOVI as an Amazon Original. For some reason, it's been removed from Amazon. I've been looking for some other way to listen to it but the only thing I can find is their Tweet announcing the song a while back. Nothing about why the song is removed. Given this wasn't a popular song, I also can't find any torrents or anything. Where should I look?
I have recently realized that I will occasionally hear notification sounds from applications that I had previously opened but no longer has any active tabs (email client, discord, etc.). I'm assuming this means they are allowed to keep some sort of connection in the background until I close all Firefox windows. Is this a bug or a "feature"? How do I turn it off? I don't want any application running at any capacity except when I have tab(s) open for them. Solution: > Hm, Discord didn't have anything registered there. After some digging, I found `about:debugging#workers` which does list Discord stuff under "Other Workers". It's unsettling to see there's no way to force confirmation and/or disable these stuff. I use Discord when I have to every once in a while. I don't want their code running all the time in my browser.. > > edit: you _can_ disable service workers with `dom.serviceWorkers.enabled = false` but this has no effect on Other Workers. > > edit2: uBlock can disable Other Workers by setting the filter `||$csp=worker-src 'none'` in `My Filters` and enabling `Suspend network activity until all filter lists are loaded` in `Filter lists`. It funny how this "trick" is written for Chromium-based browsers with the note that Firefox allows global disabling of service workers when the sites can just register a different type of worker with no way of disabling them. I am sure the api is less powerful than service workers bla bla bla, let me decide what runs on my browser without needing third party tools, please.
If I globally disable filesystem access to home (i.e. `filesystems=!home;`), and an app declared that it needs `home/some-dir`, do I need to explicitly prevent access or do my global settings take precedence?
I am on a shared network. I'd like to self host services and access them from all my devices but I do not want these exposed to other people in my network. I've noticed that I can just change the port mapping in Docker to `<Tailscale IP>:<port>:<port>` from `<port>:<port>` and it just works. Works as in the service is accessible from my Tailnet, inaccessible from the local network or the internet. Is it really this easy or am I missing something? Just sounds too good to be true so I am suspicious it might somehow be insecure.
