Its crazy how a dog can just buy a shotgun in the US with no background checks.

If you are hosting software services (proprietary or not) on hardware you control, in a network you control, then you are self-hosting. What the service itself actually is is irrelevant.

Not necessarily. Protonmail will happily let you create an account if you don’t use a VPN or Tor. Such accounts are tied to your IP

Can’t you just go somewhere that has public wifi and set up a Proton account from there? No VPN and they dont have your IP.

I literally just started playing Subnautica for the first time last night as well after owning it for about 4 years.

Cat’s out of the box.

The monkey’s out of the bottle.

Why would it matter if they’re not the same?

Both can be surveillance states, but in different points on the spectrum.

Just because country A is worse than country B doesnt make country B good.

Both countries are surveillance states that shouldnt be trusted.

What makes you think its 4 proxmox nodes?

To me it looks like 3 Debian VMs (2 of them running docker containers) and 1 TrueNAS VM running in a single Proxmox node.

If I did that I still wouldnt be as butthurt as you.

Whatever you say bud.

Enjoy the dial up.

By that logic Tuvalu’s internet must be amazing.

In Ireland I have 5Gb fibre to the home in the small rural town I live in.

And its only about €40 a month.

Wait until you find out that The Rock and Dwayne Johnson are actually two different people.

Using Google hardware results in financial gain for Google

So buy 2nd hand then.

If you don’t care about hardware security then don’t use Graphene OS, it’s not made for you. Its made for people who do care.

As for Google harvesting data, Graphene has all of that stripped out by default. It doesnt even have Google Play Services, you need to install it seperately if you want to use it.

Finally, Motorola produces a panoply of devices for LEA, if you think a for profit company will not leverage their deal with GOS to sell a bypass device to law enforcement agencies and have the monopoly on that market you are out of your goddamn mind.

You realise that Motorola Solutions (that make stuff for law enforcement agencies) and Motorola Mobility (that make phones) are two completely seperate companies?

Motorola Mobility is a wholly owned subsidiary of Lenovo.

They have nothing to do with eachother beyond just the brand. Motorola Mobility dont even own the rights to the name or logo. They have to license the brand from Motorola Solutions.

It only works on Pixel phones because they are the only phones on the market that meet the security requirments.

Thats why for the future Motorola phones, Motorola will have to design a new phone that will meet those requirements. They can’t just put Graphene OS on an existing Motorola model.

When you start playing something, go into the admin dashboard on another machine and click the “i” and see if its trying to software transcode instead of hardware transcode, or does it say its direct playing?

How are you running the Jellyfin server? As your own docker container or installed as a docker container in something like Unraid?

If its a container then it needs access to the GPU (eg, --device=/dev/dri:/dev/dri, or whatever device your GPU appears as), and if its installed in Unraid it needs access to the gpu, intel-gpu-top needs to be installed, and the Jellyfin container also needs a docker mod called “opencl-intel”.

NATOs power comes from ALL of its “MEMBERS”!!

THE US “IS” ONE OF THOSE MEMBERS!

So if TRUMP is calling NATO a “paper” TIGER then that means he’s CALLING HIMSELF and the US a PAPER tiger.

That is UNPATRIOTIC!

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I do this as well, but another approach I was thinking about implementing (i havent tried it yet) was to also block all IP addresses not belonging to mobile networks or residential ISPs in my country.

That way, in theory, only a mobile network IP or somone on residential wifi would pass through my firewall to Home Assisstant, and this would filter out IPs belonging to datacentres which may be hosting hostile VPS’s, Tor exit nodes, proxies, VPN exit points, etc, etc.

I tried this for the first time a few days ago and it seems pretty good.

If you hold the selection button on a movie/show theres an option to “Play with transcoding” which helped solve a lot of problems for me when playing things on older hardware in situations where the official Jellyfin app would incorrectly try to direct play content that actually wasnt compatible.
