Are there any legal issues recreating YouTube SponsorBlock for Podcasts?
  • Other answer seems to suggest that the problem is that the same podcast can be available, depending on where and who is listening to it, with different length due to different ads injected into. Here's my probably stupid and completely ignorant suggestion: instead of using timestamps for both begin and end of the ads segment, you could use a timestamp for the beginning, and an hash of the first part of "non-ads" segment. I'll try to explain better:

    |----------------xxxxx--------------------|
                    ^     |___|
    

    The xxx is the ads segment, the ^ is the timestamp of the beginning of the ads, the |___| is a small duration segment (for example, 0.5 seconds) right after the ads segment. The data of that segment is hashed and used as "end ads segment indicator".

    On the other device, with a different duration of the ads, you should start hashing it to find the corresponding segment.

    Is this doable or did I just said a bunch of idiot things?

  • I'm looking for a way to create webpages without HTML, any tips?

    Hello! I'll try to explain what I'm looking for: I sometimes have to write simple web pages (not just text, also buttons and video players and so on), but I really really hate writing html code. What I'm used to is QML, which I like a lot, because of the ease of placing objects exactly where I need using the anchors and the Layout objects. What I'm looking for is a language or something with a similar syntax, that can then be "built" to plain HTML/CSS/JS. Is there something like this? I know I can compile Qt/QML for webassembly, but I'm having huge amounts of problems, and also I'd like to have the possibility to have a plain HTML result, not necessary bind to the server side.

    thanks in advance!!

    Anyone selfhosting RSSHub?

    Hello! I'd like to follow some niche meme pages on instagram with my RSS reader app (feeder), and found out about RSSHub that seems exactly what I need. However, I tried using some of the public instances and except for the first time after requesting an RSS feed, it got rate limited and completely blocked. Does self hosting it solve the problem? Is any of you using it reliably?

    LibreY vs SearXNG, which one do you suggest and why?

    Hello! Today I learned about the existence of LibreY, and the project seems very interesting. I was wondering, how does it compare with SearXNG? which one is easier to self host, and which one is lighter on resource usage? Which one gets rate-limited less? I'm particolary interested in opinions of people who used both

    Thanks in advance!

    I'm looking for a TOS-breaking telegram client that strips out all the premium shit

    Hello fellow pirates! I'm tired of having all the telegram premium ads and antifeatures in the client and I'm looking for a client that removed them even if it's against the TOS. Any tips? I'd rather use an actual open source fork than a cracked version of the original

    I'm looking for both Android and Desktop (Linux)

    What I want is to remove the hateful ads in the channels and the "buy premium to unlock these emojis", and also to be able to arrange the folders in whatever order I like, without being forced to keep the "All messages" as first

    thanks in advance!

    Opinions on Presearch - distributed search engine?

    Hello! I just came across Presearch, and it looks very interesting to me. If I understand correctly, at the moment it's just another metasearch engine, but they say they're planning to add their own index. How would a distributed search engine index work? Opinions on this?

    Can I stream live TV on VLC?

    Hello! I know this is probably not piracy, but I think that this community is the best one to ask this. I'd like to stream live TV on my jellyfin server, and in the future perhaps try to implement a way to silence the audio during ads, but I want to start a step at a time: Before going in jellyfin, let's try with VLC that is easier. The live stream I'm trying to stream is taken from raiplay, the official website of RAI, the main italian tv station. I ignorantly just downloaded all the 4 .m3u8 files with this extension and, one at a time, I tried to open them with VLC, but all I obtained was VLC loading forever. What's going on? did I missed something important?

    [if you know of better ways to do this, any recommendation is welcome!]

    thanks in advance!

    Does anyone have a .eu.org subdomain?

    Hello everybody! I just learned that I can get a free .eu.org domain, but I'm not sure I understand the domain creation process. Any of you has one?

    Yet another request for a note taking app

    Hello! I'm still not satisfied with my note taking app. I tried dozen of them, read tons of lists on random blogs on the internet, without any success. I'll try to ask you then.

    I'm looking for a note taking app with just this 3 features:

    • richtext/WYSIWYG (i don't want to write plain text and then press a button to see it rendered)
    • it has to support CHECKBOXES! Most of the apps I tried does not support them, or supported them only if all the note was a checklist. I don't want a checklist, I want a note where I can put some checkbox inside!
    • FOSS and active

    The one I'm currently using is obsidian, but it's not FOSS and it feels very overcomplicated for a simple note apps.

    Any suggestion is welcome!

    EDIT: forgot to mention, I'm talking about Android XD

    [Fixed] Jellyfin video stutters on some files (all MKV it seems)

    Hello fellow selfhosters! I reformatted my USB hard drive from exFAT to XFS because I needed a filesystem that could handle hardlinks. I remounted the hard drive and now jellyfin webUI has a severe stuttering problem on some videos, all of them are MKV but it may be a coincidence. On android (using exoplayer) the same files works smoothly. what could be the problem? in the logs I get a bunch of Slow HTTP Response from http://fedoraserver:8096/ to 192.168.1.30 in 0:00:07.4635856 with Status Code 200

    OT: while looking at the logs this happened

    SOLUTION: I enabled hardware acceleration, and manually selected also the HEVC and Allow encoding in HEVC format settings, and now the stutter disappeared! thanks to everyone for your help!!!

    my old hostname is still active????

    I have no idea what's going on. my server once run fedora, and its hostname was fedoraserver. I recently installed AlmaLinux, and now its hostname is tserver. today I was looking at the logs of jellyfin and... Slow HTTP Response from http://fedoraserver:8096 ... ... ... \* realization * ... WTF!!!!! It's like I saw a ghost. do any of you know what's going on?

    even more strange: $ host fedoraserver fedoraserver.station has address 192.168.1.4 fedoraserver.station has address 192.168.1.13 fedoraserver.station has address 192.168.1.41 fedoraserver.station has address 192.168.1.10 $ host tserver tserver.station has address 192.168.1.13 $ host 192.168.1.13 13.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer fedoraserver.station. I'm... I'm scared

    how to set up sonarr/radarr and qbittorrent to avoid duplicate files

    Hello! I set up jellyfin+sonarr+radarr+prowlarr+qbittorrent in my home server, and it all works well. the only problem is that I'm storing my files on a usb HDD with exFAT filesystem, and it does not support (AFAIK) hardlinks. due to this, sonarr/radarr are copying the files from the download folder (on the internal SSD with xfs) to the USB HDD.

    1. do I understand correctly what's going on? XD
    2. what is your setup or what do you suggest to do to avoid this? Ideally, I would like to download the files on the internal SSD and then move the files to the external HDD, and then hardlink it into the download folder to keep seeding it. If this is not possible, it would also be a good solution to download directly inside the USB drive, and then hardlink it into the jellyfin library.

    any tip is greatly welcome! thank in advance fellow pirates!

    xfsdump questions

    Hello! I just installed my first system using XFS filesystem, and the xfsdump utility seems interesting. I was following this guide about it, but it does not mention anything about the /media mount point: if I have a USB drive full of files mounted in /media/HDD1 and run

    bash xfsdump -f /data/wholesystem.xfsdump / will the files on the USB be backupped as well? and what about the /home directory?

    [solved] Nginx proxy server - strange behavior

    Hello fellow selfhosters! I changed my server OS from fedora server to alma linux as I wanted a more stable base with less frequent updates for my docker containers, so I backed everything up and installed almalinux. It all went smoothly, and now all the containers seem to work as before except for nginx proxy manager: on fedora, I set all the proxy hosts like this (using jellyfin for instance): jellyfin.mydomain.duckdns.org > http://myserverhostname:8096 now, for some strange reasons, it does not work anymore, and I get a bad gateway error. I tried with and without SSL (that I had from the previous installation, do I need to regenerate them? but without it should work anyway...), pointing to localhost:8096, to myserverhostname:8096, to jellyfin:8096, but nothing. The only way I could make it work was with the resolved IP address of my server: ```bash

    host myserverhostname

    myserverhostname.station has address 192.168.1.13 ``` pointing nginx to 192.168.1.13:8096 correctly shows the website. why does this happens? am I doing something wrong?

    EDIT: the only one that's working with localhost is nginx itself (http://localhost:81)

    ======

    SOLUTION: instead of myserverhostname, in nginx proxy host configuration (in the gui) I had to set myserverhostname.station to get it working. I don't know why, in the previous installation only the hostname was enough...

    How do I change the default download folder on Radarr?

    !

    Do I need to click on the X here? it says "Are you sure you want to delete the root folder '/downloads'?" so I'm a bit scared, it will not remove the actual folder and its content right?

    Edit: I created a dummy folder and added and removed it and no file were touched! Thanks to everyone!

    How do I create a docker container with custom programs inside?

    Hello! I have a free account at hide.me and would like to try to use it with my docker compose containers. The free plan does not give me the keys for openVPN of Wireguard configuration, but only through the official client. I'd like then to create a docker container that runs the official hide.me client inside, and exposes it to other docker containers (like gluetun does, for instance). I'd also like to implement a killswitch or something like that to prevent ip leakage. Is this something easy-medium hard or something very complex? I already have a script that installs and runs the client to enable vpn that should be run at startup, but I miss the "expose the network interface" and the "do not expose it if not connected" (this last part I think is pretty easy with a basic firewall configuration)

    any tips/something already done? thanks in advance!

    EDIT: probably crazy idea, but would it be possible to do this in gluetun?

    Alright then 🏴‍☠️

    it says "Remember that it's not possible to play films on GNU/Linux, but only on other compatible devices"... ahh what a wild world we live in

    opinions on hide.me free VPN?

    Hello! I recently set up my first home server, and would like to set up qbittorrent on it. I tried using protonVPN, which is what I use on desktop, but got rate limited because torrenting on the free plan is not allowed. What do you think of hide.me vpn? it has a CLI linux version, I think I can install it inside the docker container and set up a killswitch (that should be built in? at least that's what they say) to torrent safely.

    I know paid VPNs are better and also pretty cheap, but I cannot afford one right now. Any tips?

    Doubts over Gluetun + QBitTorrent setup

    Hello! I'm trying to set up qbittorrent and gluetun using docker compose on my home server, using the free account of ProtonVPN.

    on some posts I see that ports 8080, 6881 and 6881/UDP are open in gluetun. in the guide I followed instead only port 8080 is exposed. So I exposed port 8080 and it is not working. I launched the torrent of endeavourOS iso image (that my laptop (with the same vpn) downloads in a few minutes with plenty of peers and seeds at about 4Mb/s), and it downloaded at an EXTREME low speed (a few B/s) for a few seconds, and then got stuck at stalled. When it is stalled, the qbittorrent container has no internet access (ping linux.org fails).

    So my questions are:

    1. Which ports do I need to open on gluetun? if I open 6881 wouldn't my IP be exposed bypassing gluetun?
    2. What's wrong with my setup? Why is internet connection so slow when there is, and why does it go away so often?
    3. Is this configuration secure? in case of gluetun fail, would my IP be leaked?

    here's the two docker-compose.yml files:

    ``` version: "3"

    services: gluetun: image: qmcgaw/gluetun container_name: gluetun cap_add: - NET_ADMIN environment: - VPN_SERVICE_PROVIDER=protonvpn - OPENVPN_USER=MYUSERHERE - OPENVPN_PASSWORD=MYPASSWORDHERE - SERVER_COUNTRIES=Netherlands - FREE_ONLY=on volumes: - ~/docker/gluetun/gluetun:/gluetun ports: - 8080:8080 # qBittorrent restart: unless-stopped ```

    and

    version: "3" services: qbittorrent: image: linuxserver/qbittorrent:latest container_name: qbittorrent environment: - PUID=1000 - PGID=1000 - TZ=Europe/Rome - WEBUI_PORT=8080 volumes: - ~/docker/qbittorrent/config:/config - ~/docker/qbittorrent/downloads:/downloads network_mode: "container:gluetun" #ports: # - 8080:8080 # - 6881:6881 # - 6881:6881/udp restart: unless-stopped

    and here's some logs:
