What you’re describing completely defeats the purpose of the inspections (trying to catch someone in the act of hacking them, somehow) and they were scheduled. Also, you have only replied to me on this post.

You seem very confused.

When did I say anything about anyone having sex? What?

They’re doing visual inspections of rooms because they don’t trust the scary hacker people in them. What do you think telling them you’re in the room is going to accomplish?

Did you even read the article?

I mean sure if you wedge the door or something, but then you’re just going to get kicked out.

Every hotel with those has a tool they can use to easily unlatch that lock.

If you’re going to be looking at network requests on this granular of a level you should use something like OpenSnitch so you can be sure what is actually generating them.

lol I would open every port on my router and route them all to wireguard before I would ever consider doing this

If you’re not completely giving up on privacy I would avoid cloudflare. I just run an always-on wireguard tunnel that routes back to my home network from my wife’s and my phones, and that kills like 3 birds with one stone (phone traffic is encrypted and hidden from my carrier, home server is accessible, and ads are blocked via DNS).

I use notifications in Thunder and I’ve had no issues. I haven’t compared the difference or anything, but when I’ve happened to check battery usage it’s always been a reasonable amount for how much I’ve used it that day. It does generate a decent amount of network traffic since it’s regularly checking with you instance for it, and that traffic is generated for each account you have reaching out to each instance. That should be how any FOSS app works though, the alternative would be something like Sync where you pay to have actual pushes sent from their server.

I use Nextcloud with Nginx Proxy Manager and just use NPM to handle the reverse proxy, nothing in Nextcloud other than adding the domain to the config so it’s trusted.

I use Plex instead of Jellyfin, but I stream it through NPM with no issues. I can’t speak to the tunnel though, I prefer a simple wireguard tunnel for anything external so I’ve never tried it.

Edit: unless that’s what you mean by tunnel, I was assuming you meant traefik or tailscale or one of the other solutions I see posted more often, but I think one or both of those use wireguard under the hood.

The issue is that the docker container will still be running as the LXC’s root user even if you specify another user to run as in the docker compose file or run command, and if root doesn’t have access to the dir the container will always fail.

The solution to this is to remap the unprivileged LXC’s root user to a user on the Proxmox host that has access to the dir using the LXC’s config file, mount the container’s filesystem using pct mount, and then chown everything in the container owned by the default root mapped user (100000).

These are the commands I use for this:

find /var/lib/lxc/xxx/rootfs -user 100000 -type f -exec chown username {} +;
find /var/lib/lxc/xxx/rootfs -user 100000 -type d -exec chown username {} +;
find /var/lib/lxc/xxx/rootfs -user 100000 -type l -exec chown -h username {} +;
find /var/lib/lxc/xxx/rootfs -group 100000 -type f -exec chown :username {} +;
find /var/lib/lxc/xxx/rootfs -group 100000 -type d -exec chown :username {} +;
find /var/lib/lxc/xxx/rootfs -group 100000 -type l -exec chown -h :username {} +

(Replace xxx with the LXC number and username with the host user/UID)

If group permissions are involved you’ll also have to map those groups in the LXC config, create them in the LXC with the corresponding GIDs, add them as supplementary groups to the root user in the LXC, and then add them to the docker compose yaml using group_add.

It’s super confusing and annoying but this is the workflow I’m using now to avoid having to have any resources tied up in VMs unnecessarily.

I’ve been doing this for at least a decade now and the drives are just as reliable as if you bought them normally. The only downside is having to block one of the pins on the SATA connector with kapton tape for it to work.

You’d be surprised how often none of that is touched, and I really doubt any repackers are bothering to block any network calls if the original scene release didn’t. I’ve used some equivalent of OpenSnitch that prompts on all network requests that I haven’t explicitly allowed already for the past decade, and at least 90% of all games I downloaded during that time tried to phone home.

ALWAYS set firewall rules to block internet access to any software you pirate.

Someone made something up about you once, so now your plan is to never be introspective again for the rest of your life?

Good luck with that. I’m sure the issue in that situation was definitely how self-aware you were at the time.

I like the workflow of having a DNS record on my network for *.mydomain.com pointing to Nginx Proxy Manager, and just needing to plug in a subdomain, IP, and port whenever I spin up something new for super easy SSL. All you need is one let’s encrypt wildcard cert for your domain and you’re all set.

You’re more likely going to get stuttering or asset streaming issues which are going to have more impact than losing a few fps.

IIRC from running into this same issue, this won’t work the way you have the volume bind mounts set up because it will treat the movies and downloads directories as two separate file systems, which hardlinks don’t work across.

If you bind mounted /media/HDD1:/media/HDD1 it should work, but then the container will have access to the entire drive. You might be able to get around that by running the container as a different user and only giving that user access to those two directories, but docker is also really inconsistent about that in my experience.

If you want Proxmox to dynamically allocate resources you’ll need to use LXCs, not VMs. I don’t use VMs at all anymore for this exact reason.

You’re right, nobody can ever know even remotely everything.

Luckily, the same device you used to post that comment can also be used to check if what you are about to say is actually true, so you can prevent yourself from spreading misinformation like this in the future.

I think Wayland is at point now where I’d be comfortable recommending it to beginners. I’m on nvidia and just switched myself in the past month because I felt like it was finally ready.

To me this is actually a good move for Ubuntu’s reputation.
