I used dehydrated for a while. It’s a quite simple python script iirc. It’s on github someplace.
If your domain registrar is porkbun and you use their DNS hosting, they can generate wildcard certificates for you. It is pretty convenient though a little bit scary, since they generate your key pair and retrieve the cert from letsencrypt. But, since they run your DNS, they could do almost the same thing without you even knowing.
The only reason SBCs were ever relevant is because of the excellent pricing, which has now been matched by used x86 computers. That and if the SBC had an open-source design/implementation (open schematics on RISC-V)
Switching to porkbun would make things a lot easier for you. DNS challenge is why I switched from Namecheap, and it’s less expensive and considerably easier to administrate.
Being a bit pedantic, and could be wrong, but wouldn’t that make Namecheap your registrar only, which registers whatever nameservers you give it for the domain you own with the relevant gTLD entity?
There is a version of VLC for the Nvidia Shield, but it has a somewhat irritating UI and I don’t know if it can actually read the menus like the desktop version can.
Space isn’t really an issue for me and I already have converted versions of these movies. For a select few all time favorites and discs where the full experience is part of the package (like the Criterion) I want to maintain the full bluray experience with all the special features and menus.
I like full menus and unaltered files without layering in additional compression. Also enjoy the extras which is why I get the BDs. Space is cheap in this day so I don’t care if it takes up more space. Quality and features to me matter more.
Plex supports extras just rip them to separate files. It’s true you lose the menu though.
It’s just that the compression on the disks is not very good and you can easily compress them a lot more without really any noticeable loss of quality.
Kodi can play discs if you rip them directly, menus and all.
If you already have plex setup, add the “plexkodiconnector” addon. It replaces kodis inbuilt, standalone media db with Plex, which gives some nice features like media sync between devices and intro skipping.
Jellyfin can do this with its kodi plugin as well.
Can you explain a bit about Kodi playing the discs? I’ve been toying around with this all morning but can’t figure out how to launch the ripped disc. I’ve setup my network files and browsed to the folder with the ripped disc but there’s no way I can see to actually open the folder as a disc that I can see and googling this has failed me.
I have a pi which I use as an apple tv/firestick alternative which works very well and would be pretty pointless with a larger pc imo. Servers I dont do with small PIs but indeed old computers. I think all kinds of ultra movable devices will be good with PI and derivatives.
For folks that want to get into it: pine64 is open source but I havent tried it yet. Thinking of it though. They even have a watch.
The two things to keep in mind with pine64 is that they ship hardware before the software is ready and because they are less popular there is less support.
I like there hardware but its just something to keep in mind. The good news is that to my knowledge all of their single board computers can run regular linux.
The main shortcoming is that the software hasn’t matured yet. Its true you could use Debian or Gentoo and get a decent machine but I would hold off using it for anything important. You won’t find Risc-V images on docker hub and flathub only barely has arm support.
I kept buying Pi Zero Ws, hats and phats then put them all in a drawer cos I couldn’t decide what to do with them. I think I’ve got about 7 or 8. I really should do something with them.
Pwnagotchi is an A2C-based “AI” leveraging bettercap that learns from its surrounding WiFi environment to maximize the crackable WPA key material it captures (either passively, or by performing authentication and association attacks). This material is collected as PCAP files containing any form of handshake supported by hashcat, including PMKIDs, full and half WPA handshakes.
an old LGA2011 xeon workstation. It is wild overkill (and not very power efficient) but it isn’t only a seedbox and it has as much PCIe expansion as I could ever want.
