From what I can tell the server issues has been fixed. They are always making improvements.

For the what I was trying to use it for it ended up not working for me. I was trying to build up a Plex server. But they didn’t want to have a large cache so started removing anything that wasn’t used in a few days. And didn’t reset the “timer” when you use it over WebDAV/rclone.

I decided to just use real debrid because their cache is HUGE. But sadly they dont seed or have Usenet.

I had already paid for a year of torbox so I still use it regularly for one off downloads not related to my Plex. I will probably still renew my subscription to keep using it for this. Though probably drop to a cheaper tier. I really like that it seeds the torrents and has Usenet.

I hope one day I can fully replace RD with it, but I dont expect it anytime soon. The programs I use for my Plex setup where all adding tor box support when I made my original comment, but mostly dropped it when torbox changed their cache policy.

I use Localsend to send files between my computers. Also to family and friends if they are local at the time. I keep seeing magic-wormhole mentioned on Lemmy. Do you know if wormhole is better somehow? Is it worth me trying it?

I dont have an apple TV myself yet. But I can tell you one thing. Pretty much all the androids including my google TV Chromecast doesn’t have codec support for the dolby audio like truehd. Its so annoying I can’t play hardly any of the 4k movies I have on Plex. Looks like my options is to ether switch to apple TV, a nivida shield pro, or by a HTPC.

Its a lot simpler then that. Dont add them to your tailscale account. Each user should have there own tailscale account. Then you just send them a link to share your machine (your server) with their tailnet. Then all of there devices they have added on their account can access your server.

Bonus: send them referrals and you get your device limit increased when they make a account. Which all they have to do is sign in with google or apple.

I’m actually not familiar with this distro. But if I installed a Linux distro, and it had brave installed. I would immediately switch.

Just buy the lifetime Plex pass before the price goes up then.

If you have Plex pass you dont have to worry about it. Others can still remote play from your server free. Actually more so because the mobile app is free for them too now.

You convinced me I need to appreciate tailscale somehow even more than I do.

services.tailscale.enable = true;

How usable is this? I don’t know much about RISC-V. But when I DL software I only ever see X64 and ARM options.

If its just a simple static page. Just use cloudflare pages. It scales to zero and would probably be completely free for your use case.

Vercel is even easier to setup but they don’t allow businesses on the free tier so it would be $20 a month for pro plan.

I’ve had no issues with it so far. Its been my go to for awhile. But I don’t use windows for anything important. Malware bytes scans don’t find anything.

Thanks, both of your points are good. I was thinking about it in terms of what OP is trying to do. Having key on the same drive. Putting the key on a separate drive or even the cloud like someone else suggested makes sense. I have all of my computers on manual. Since I don’t have anything critical enough that it can’t wait till I’m back home to start it back up.

Thanks, I was thinking about it as if the key was stored on the same drive. Like OP is trying to do. Which I don’t think would help in the case of it being stolen. Or any case I can think of. But I see how A cloud key would make a lot of sense. And would be a good compromise on security vs convenience.

This isn’t helpful. But genuine question. What is the point of encryption that auto unencrypts? When would it ever actually be securing the data?

That is a good point. I’ve only had to rollback twice and nether time had any issues. But from my understanding of how it works, you are correct, the data wouldn’t rollback.

By using NixOS I can do this on ext4. Just reboot back to the previous image before the update. Not saying everyday users should be running nixos but there are other Immutable distros that can do the same.

Interesting. I’m really surprised by this. I really like the wiki app. And use the tabs a lot. Never would have expected someone to dislike it so much. Designing mobile apps must be a incredibly hard job.

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.
