i know probably nobody wants to hear that, but PIA is dead for me since they sponsored fucking fascist Gab a few years back.

plus, most of the mentioned cve’s state “versions before …”. Exposing a service to the internet always has a risk to it, keeping your service up-to-date is mandatory. Running behind a vpn can protect you, sure. But it also has to be practical. I don’t get why Jellyfin especially gets this kind of slaming. You’ll find similar records for any other software.

connection timeout doesn’t sound like ssl problem to me. is the webserver actually running? i think i read nginx in a different post, you might look for a running nginx process using

ps aux | grep nginx

If it is running, is the connection working with normal http:// on port 80?

unauthenticated playback: yes. enumeration: no

i have a roku express 4k and pihole shuts it down completely. it has the jellyfin app, nothing else. works great. I only open up internet to update the app from time to time.

i use https://www.mailjet.com/ they gave a free tier that goes a long way for mails like that.

i have the same hardware (24gb ram) and it works a treat. I run quite a number of services on it. Only pihole i moved to a dedicated raspi. that way i don’t need to restart thw dns when i restart the other server.

used a bash script and a cron job for a long time, now the whole topic is one of the projects i regularly rewrite whenever I want to get my hands dirty with a new programming language or framework.

you can define a retention time for sources (=channels) so you can somewhat limit storage usage.

in a docker compose file you can set the option “restart: unless-stopped”

I have in fact never used MakeMKV in that way, I’ve always used the backup option. That makes it a lot easier, thanks so much for pointing me into the right direction!

That’s a good hint, although I wouldn’t mind too mich. personally. My server is located in the basement.

I don’t keep track actively. I noticed problems when reading a file and looked at the drive with smartctl for that reason. Does anybody know how to keep track actively?

that wouldn’t be a problem for me, as my server is located in the basement. But good to know!

my currently failing drive is a WD as well… 🥴 I bought it a year ago, I think…

I was thinking actual hard drives, not SSDs…

That’s exactly what I was looking for - I came across MakeMKV before, but couldn’t find a recent Linux version - didn’t think of Flathub, though. None of the guides that come up if you look for dvd ripping on linux mention it, though… Thanks mate!

Oh great! I came accross MakeMKV before, but couldn’t find a recent version. Didn’t think of Flathub…

Strangely, playing was working fine. Just when I try to convert it has sync issues… I’m probably just too simpleminded to make it work that way, but VLC doesn’t make it easy to do it right either, I guess…

you could look into other ways of pirating, that don’t necessarily require a vpn, instead. in may country it’s mainly problematic to use torrents, because you automatically are sharing stuff as well. IRC is something that I never had a problem with, for example. you’re only downloading and it doesn’t cost you anything. there are xdcc search engines out there. The downsides are that it’s a bit nerdy (is it a downside. though?) and you’ll mostly find current mainstream content.
