Correct.

With normal split tunneling you can normally do something like this anyways, but it can be finicky to configure, and easy for something like DNS, etc to access the internet without your VPN in the middle. And sometimes if your VPN fails to connect, you could be connecting without your VPN.

By using docker with gluetun + qbit (I believe docker images for this setup exist already) you can force it to use only your VPN, and if the connection fails then your bittorrent client can’t connect. With gluetun all your bittorrent traffic would flow through your VPN, but there’s a way it can be configured to allow only your webui port to be accessed locally on your network

And in this setup you can fairly easily use gluetun to force all its traffic through VPN

I’ll happily say I must have overlooked something, but I did try using update-alternatives. I don’t remember all the nuts and bolts from the start, but it involves python3 and distribution upgrades. I spent a good number of nights over the years trying to unmess it up, and am happy to never think about it ever again.

Installed python3 before it was made the native python on the dist. Half broke everything, including apt & python. So I uninstalled it, and then everything was broken. Finally got python3 reinstalled, and lived with it kindof working & awful distribution updates.

I have finally freed myself of that prison last month, by nuking everything and starting fresh.

Agreed.

I dia just find this: https://forum.jellyfin.org/t-jellyfin-authentik-duo-2fa-solution-tutorial

Which claims app compatible 2FA via authentik

1. Nothing like a sonic analysis that I know of jellyfin.
2. Never had issues with x265 other than for devices that don’t have the computation power to decompress. Direct play to my TV with 4K streams have always been excellent.
3. It could heavily limit apps, but you could use authentik/authelia to enable access to jellyfin, so external access requires MFA. Internally apps could access the local IP normally without authentik. But bouncing off authentik first would likely prevent most (all?) Apps from working externally - you’d likely only have the webui externally. Can’t think of a solid solution until Jellyfin natively supports 2FA

I know you want a single ‘yes’ for the whole package which is fair, and Jellyfin doesn’t offer all of these things, but I’ll at least mention:

• A dedicated music app?

  • Its FOSS and there are several excellent apps in my experience worth looking into. I absolutely love feishin (for jellyfin or navidrome). On android I’ve liked finamp and Gelli.

• Music filtering/smart playlists?

  • smart playlists - Not that I know of

• Sonic analysis?

  • not that I know of

• Good 4k/x265 performance?

• I actually am not sure what issues you have here. Are you talking about transcoding it? I most often use native play and so long as the device receiving x265 can handle it I’ve never had issues

• Has a third party (or built in) utility that shows me streaming usage per person?

  • https://github.com/CyferShepard/Jellystat

• Allows me to limit remote users to streaming from a single IP address at a time?

  • single IP, I am not sure. But you can limit the number of simultaneous connections they can have (e.g. only one stream, etc). I realize that doesn’t have the same exact result in edge cases.

• Let’s me watch something together with another remote user?

  • Yes. Syncplay exists on it. I have had good experiences with both users in browsers app. But on webos TV app it doesn’t work for me.

• Has an app for most any device (like Plex or Emby) that does NOT require sideloading?

  • Pretty sure they have webos/android TV apps, android, iOS, a desktop player, web interface. I have first hand experience with android, web interface, Linux/windows, webos. There is a roku app, but I don’t knknow if it requires sideloading.

• Has built in native DVR steaming/recording support? Jellyfin DVR capabilities exist, but I can’t speak to them.

• Two factor authentication? Unfortunately, not. I think there are hack ways to pass it through other validators/credentials, but I agree it needs native support of some kind.

For the music gripes - honestly, navidrome IMO. If folks are happy with experience with Plex for everything, I am happy for them, but libraries specialized for media types can have big benefits and focused features.

• Video: Jellyfin (or Plex)
• Music: Navidrome
• Audiobooks: audiobookshelf
• Podcasts: still searching. I partially use Audiobookshelf here but don’t love it for podcasts.

Is .com fixed in some way to prevent the same scaling? I thought it was basically the domain sellers increasing the prices year over year

Its a meme at this point, but I tried to install arch. Ran into display issues during install and couldn’t progress. Gave up and did Ubuntu instead.

I know there’s supposed to be some helper stuff out there now to make it go smoothly, but don’t think I am motivated enough to retry ever.

I’ve only just started looking myself, but theres agora online

So much yes. Highly recommend. I could listen to Dan Carlin go on about a topic endlessly.

In fairness, I frequently forgot my steamdeck root password, because the need to use it was so few and far between. If you’re always in game mode, then there’s almost 0 reason that I’d need my password.

FWIW, in the US, seems like you’re ‘guaranteed’ that you’ll keep 30 hours worth of minimum wage per week. the minimum wage is abysmal, so ~870 a month, which isn’t really enough to survive on in many places. I suspect it would be terribly difficult to pay rent, gas/electric, buy food, pay for public transport and/or gas.

I think this person was dumb. I think they fucked up badly. I think garnishment could make sense if the terms were more reasonable. But I think the current terms could absolutely be detrimental to ones survival.

Title III also protects individuals by limiting the amount of earnings that may be garnished in any workweek or pay period to the lesser of 25 percent of disposable earnings or the amount by which disposable earnings are greater than 30 times the Federal minimum hourly wage prescribed by Section 6(a) (1) of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938. This limit applies regardless of how many garnishment orders an employer receives. The Federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour. Source

36 TB server:

• Nextcloud (a little heavier than I’d like considering something that’s just filesharing)
• Jellyfin
• Audiobookshelf
• Kavita
• Authentik
• N.eko with protection via authentik (rabbit clone so I can watch things with friends even if it’s not on jellyfin)
• Homepage so I can remember everything -_-

Raspberry pi:

• Adguard home, which router pushes all traffic dns through
• Mopidy - hooked the pi to my speakers, can start playing via web interface. Don’t love it, but it’s working.
