MigratingtoLemmy,

Install Slackware and purchase random card from aliexpress, and you might just have to.

And once you do that, remember to de-blob your kernel (and re-write every piece of non-free software, although I suppose Slackware doesn’t tolerate proprietary software much) and statically link it to exactly the binaries you need.

Comes close to customisation but leaves out the pain of having to write drivers.

MigratingtoLemmy,

A slightly more complicated setup would be to host Jellyfin on one’s server at home and run a VPN client to a VPS which would have the necessary ports forwarded and routing configured. This way the people who know the right credentials can log in (assuming SSO) and the hoster doesn’t have to open their own port

MigratingtoLemmy,

Could you explain? I’m still stuck with a mind-block, can’t imagine how a git server can track changes to code with messages from email

MigratingtoLemmy,

Ah, you mean email being used as a direct alternative to issue reports? I get it now, and TBH this makes intuitive sense. Thanks

MigratingtoLemmy,

I didn’t ask for JS to be completely disabled, but to disable just enough for the paywall to not crop up

MigratingtoLemmy,

There are multiple scripts being used on almost every website. You need to find the one that pops up the paywall. Use NoScript or just unlock origin (I use both) and with some trial and error it’ll work just fine

MigratingtoLemmy,

Not a specific file but a domain. And yes, if the processing is done server-side then there is very little we can do about that. Note that I’m not asking one to disable every script on the page, just the specific script for the pop-up/blurring by the paywall

MigratingtoLemmy,

Thanks, I understand your point. Thinking about it, this might not work everywhere

MigratingtoLemmy,

Technically, if one were to disable the JS used for said paywall on a site, they would never see it again. I haven’t personally done this but has anyone tried?

MigratingtoLemmy,

I’d just use NoScript and disable the domain supplying the script

MigratingtoLemmy,

If I utilise a DNS provider who supports ECH (mullvad) with a browser that supports ECH (Librewolf) will I still not be able to access certain websites? I haven’t come across a website blocked by my ISP yet so don’t know

MigratingtoLemmy,

Ah yes, forgot about that. Thanks

MigratingtoLemmy,

They won’t be able to get to my SNI if I’m using ECH, yes? I just assumed ECH was secure enough but I don’t know much

MigratingtoLemmy,

Ah, that clears it up! I feel silly that the idea of the ISP doing a reverse-lookup on my traffic didn’t occur to me, thanks.

MigratingtoLemmy,

If you just want a Seedbox, head over to giga-rapid.

If you wanted a compute box which happens to pirate, you’re going to have to alternate between providers periodically, change accounts, cards etc. I would personally like to have an automated setup to spin up machines across VPSes and accounts (some Ansible, Shell and cron should do it) but haven’t got there yet

MigratingtoLemmy,

I use NoScript, and as far as I can tell, I have blocked the script that showed said pop-up. No more nonsense.

MigratingtoLemmy,

The point being that if one can find the domain through which they push said script/the script itself, they can disable it (I use NoScript).

MigratingtoLemmy,

Recommendations are a must for me since I listen to genres which do not do well with western audiences in terms of organic recommendations.

If you want an automatic way to discover new music before you actually stumble upon the music itself, listenbrainz might be a decent FOSS alternative to last.fm. I would also use libre.fm on a personal server to check my own habits.

However, I also use YouTube music a lot, especially when I want to find something new. This does need one to be active on YT music with specific cookies set (in case you’d like to transfer listening history and habits across browsers/computers without signing in) to give you good recommendations. The good part is that it can likely show you good recommendations inside a few hours of you showing it what you like by playing your favourites.

For example, it was on YouTube music that I found Today is a beautiful day by Supercell and Et si tu n’existais pas by Hélène Ségara & Joe Dassin.

Cheers
