Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What steps can be taken to prevent AI training and scraping of my public facing website?
2·1 month agoAnother one; https://iocaine.madhouse-project.org/
But yeah, OP. You can’t reliably stop web scrapers from stealing your data. You can only make more difficult and costly to do so, at the expense of your own server, and in the case of anubis, at the expense of your real users.
I plan on switching to a RPI hosted website at some point, so I can add either iocaine or nepanthes to my website. Might as well make most of the data from my website poison to all the scrapers when I get the chance.
Yeah. The corporations with money are always going to beat the casual users without in regards to processing capability.
There are smarter ways to discourage the big companies from taking pictures of your house than by adding speed bumps to your driveway.
POW built in to the web spec would be hell. Making every single device in the world do that extra bit of work would noticeably affect energy use across the planet.
My dns config options always have at least two spots. Obviously, this means I need two piholes to fill them both up.
More seriously, it has actually saved my network from going down a couple times already.

Lmao I hadn’t even noticed, but yes, definitely that.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•I am attempting to get into Selfhosting after a shockingly frightening experience, but I am very lost.
16·3 months agoHonestly? Don’t do the whole switch, or even a big switch from a few services to another.
Start small. Very small. Try doing just one service you rely on, like your images or music. Immich just announced their first stable release. I use navidrome for my music. Make sure to test these on a copy of your data, not your actual data.
Once you’ve got one service working as you want it to do, then you can try your hand at another service. This way, you don’t get stuck trying to do everything all at once.
It may be worth considering how much (if any) you want to spend at the start, too. That’ll inform your next immediate task; setting up basic backups for your data. A spare drive is a good start, but it may be worth keeping another one at your parents house, or similar.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•How can I optimize my jellyfin, specifically transcoding and the CPU usage involved? I'm running it off a mini pc so resources are everything
7·4 months agoIf you aren’t transcoding, and the player is taking too long to cache the video before starting, you might be having some sort of storage issue. You would need to try a couple of different things to figure out what, specifically, is taking so long to send the video out.
The first thing that comes to mind is that your storage is on an SSD, and it is nearly full. An SSD that is nearly full will usually perform much much worse than it would if it had more space to work with. https://pureinfotech.com/why-solid-state-drive-ssd-performance-slows-down/
The next thing that comes to mind is that your files are stored on the same drive that jellyfin transcodes onto, and it is not using an SSD. If you have jellyfin reading from a single drive, jellyfin encoding to that same drive, and also everything else also running, you might be causing your hard drive to seek a lot in order to get everything up and running. You could test this by changing the jellyfin transcode location to a different storage device.
I’ve also found that page and video loading times tend to be directly affected by the storage medium’s seek times. If you had jellyfin installed on the same hard drive as your videos, it will be slower than if you had installed jellyfin on a ssd separate from the drive you store your videos on. This one wouldn’t likely result in minute loading times though.

31·4 months agoYou should not be having transcode issues with anything less than four concurrent streams on that server. https://www.reddit.com/r/PleX/comments/1ae6683/intel_n100_vs_ryzen_7_1700_1st_gen_an_interesting/
It’s likely that you have hardware transcoding disabled. Enable it, and these issues should go away. This forum post has good settings in jellyfin for an n100, https://forum.jellyfin.org/t-solved-correct-transcoding-settings-for-the-n100-processor
You should be able to find instructions for enabling hardware encoding in your bios by searching for it with your specific device model.
*edit
Handbrake does a bad job of explaining the difference between software encoding and hardware encoding. Or at least, it felt that way to me when I last used it. You likely were trying to software encode your videos, which, while theoretically makes the end result better quality, definitely won’t be quick on an n100. You’ll want to pick the option that has intel quicksync/qsv in it in order to get the most speed out of your handbrake encodes. https://www.reddit.com/r/handbrake/comments/z2m814/comment/kxu2a8x/

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Anyone automate anything with smart thermostats and outdoor temp?
3·4 months agoMy goal was to never need to touch the settings for any of the HVAC units all year round,
I got a lot more luckier than you. I have a single floor, three bedroom place. All I needed to get my setup to an acceptable level was a programmable thermostat.
The other snag was more fundamental - I don’t think it’s possible to have a perfect temperature, even for one person. If I’m sitting still for long periods, I tend to want warmer temps. If I’m cleaning the house, I want cooler temps.
I set my temps for warmer in the afternoon, cooler in the evening/night, and semi-warm again in the morning. It’s not perfect, but it makes getting to sleep and waking up a lot easier.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Dedicated music server or all-in-one media server?
2·5 months agoFirst of all, only jellyfin has any overhead worth mentioning. Video is big and takes big hardware if you’re doing anything except the bare minimum. Audio support is basically free in comparison.
I actually tried the jellyfin audio streaming before I switched to navidrome. It worked, but all the apps for it were complete shit, or incredibly feature poor. Also, it had terrible album identification support for my library.
It’s all read only, yes, but I just use a group specifically for NAS access and put users that need it in there.
I use the NFS version from the debian repository; not actually sure which one, and didn’t even know that it mattered.
I had issues streaming directly from one device to the other without transcoding on WiFi. (I know you’re wired! Heard me out.)
I found that, although it didn’t fix the issue, it did help to switch from using SMB to NFS. Something about the way the protocol works meant that SMB had enough of an overhead that it worsened my stuttering issues outside of the spotty WiFi connection. For sure it significantly sped up scrubbing access times as well.
It may not be the issue, but it may be a step worth checking just to see if it is a part of the issue.
For what it’s worth, 4k remuxes can have bitrate spikes well exceeding the limits of a single gbps wire. If you have a player with limited memory, or just limited cache settings, this may also be a part of the problem.
I use https://file.pizza. It’s open source and has password protection options and everything.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What's your recommendation for a small NAS?
8·8 months agoTerramaster had some pretty gnarly security issues that they badly handled in the past. No big deal if you keep it walled off from the internet, but their software would never let you know it should be kept away from any internet access.
Also, if you get one of their units that has an ARM chip inside instead of an intel one, there is basically no chance you’re ever going to be able to use anything other than the software that they have by default. This makes the security issues impossible to resolve without completely removing internet access to the device.
I too was unsatisfied with jellyfin’s music handling. Not only was the website disorganized and bad at using the built-in album art, but all the android music players i could find for it were also barely usable as well.
I can’t use musicbee because it’s windows only. I still want synchronized play history, metadata updates, and everything between my phone, pc, and mp3 player so a single OS software was out of the question.
I use a combination of beets, navidrome, and tempo. Beets is the metadata manager; once i’ve beet imported an album, it’s ready for navidrome to pick it up and serve it to any of my devices. (I have a custom sync script for my mp3 player that does the same). Navidome serves the music to any connected devices, converts it on the fly to lower quality (for low speed phone network situations) and also keeps track of my play counts, and my playlists for me. It’s not nearly as complicated as some of the other setups, which I also prefer.
I use tempo on my phone to connect to navidrome on the go and it has worked out incredibly well so far.

21·9 months agoThat’s androids fault. Their login input detection is spotty, and has been for a while now. https://9to5google.com/2024/10/06/android-autofill-password-manager-problems/
I have used this card for a couple years.
Pros:
Cons:
If all you’re looking for is cheap, quiet, storage, and you don’t mind losing out on total read/write speeds, thisll actually do great just about anywhere.
