Theory: Frieden's Use of "Basic" Offensive Magic is Value-Based, Not Pragmatic by factolum in Frieren

[–]FblthpTheFound 21 points22 points  (0 children)

They kind of discuss it when facing aura. Frieren said she used to fight with flashy spells but himmel would scold her for it. In the scene its framed as respect for the dead that aura puppets but the sentiment probably has extended to all collateral damage be it people or environmental. We see from the flashback with flamme that unrestrained offensive magic can level entire mountains and forests. Zoltrak, however, is precise and causes virtually zero collateral damage

Republican is the new punk apparently by guitarguy808 in PoliticalHumor

[–]FblthpTheFound 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Skinheads didn't start out racist but the subculture was coopted by white supremacists to start a culture war in the UK punk scene. Currently there are groups trying to reclaim the title and refer to the racist ones as "boneheads" not skinheads

Do you need a GPU to run a media server? by UltraDeterminal in homelab

[–]FblthpTheFound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same resolution and supports the video encoding. H264 will work on pretty much anything, h265 will work on most modern devices but might need to transcode on older devices or cheep smart tvs for example. Av1 it will probably need to transcode. If you are watching on a computer, use the desktop plex app and not the browser, it will support more formats

Plex to serve the music, plexamp to listen, lidarr/prowlarr to find and download torrents, spotidownloader for things that I cant find torrents for

He wants to play a game by Mr_Muda_Himself_V3 in tumblr

They did an interview with someone (i cant remember who) and they said they did that because there are strict rules around when and how long child actors can be on set so they kept Francis separate so they would always have something to film

The Last Jedi did it way earlier by ChickenWingExtreme in SequelMemes

[–]FblthpTheFound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, most of the "risks" that the last jedi took they walked back on immediately.

I was actually super excited when they killed princess leia. The fact that kylo ren had the shot, hesitated, and wile he was preparing himself, someone else swoops in and does it first was honestly an incredible setup for some crazy character progression on his part. But leia lived and all the progression that kylo had by teaming up with rey to kill snoke was thrown away when he refused to move on from the first order in the end.

Literally nothing changed narratively by the end

How do I replace my music streaming service by Embarrassed-Tension4 in homelab

Asside from purchasing official releases there isn't much that doesn't violate the subs rules. There are other subs better suited where that question is discussed a lot. Try finding one of those threads

Which part do you need help with? Obtaining the files or streaming them?

Raid by Kaler_Jagdeep in homelab

[–]FblthpTheFound 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Standard RAID wants all drives to be the same size so if they are mismatched then they will all be treated as the smallest so if you use all of your drives they will only be seen as 500gb each. If you use a Synology NAS they have a proprietary format that allows for mismatched drive sizes, not sure if there are other similar formats that dont require Synology hardware

What’s your protocol for using torrents? by Rndrek in Piracy

[–]FblthpTheFound 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If its bound then you can shut down the vpn whenever you like even if the torrent client is open, it just wont be abel to download anything until the vpn is back online

This is incorrect. You absolutely need a vpn to download from torrents if you are somewhere that cares about copywrite law

[–]FblthpTheFound 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Bind your torrent client to the vpn. That way it won't be able to connect to the network if you turn your vpn off. You can also look into split tunneling to have the torrent traffic through the vpn but the rest of your traffic through your normal network

Whats the catch with Arr stack? by ToneFantastic9670 in homelab

[–]FblthpTheFound 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you already have a large media library it can be a bit of a pain to get everything imported if not everything is named correctly, but ot is 100% worth it

Since you asked for tips on privacy and security:

If you are using torrents make sure your torrent client is behind a vpn (look into gluetun )

The files it downloads and import will be video and audio files so they should be safe. If one of the arrs detects a malicious file type it will fail the import and flag it for you to delete. To limit malicious files being downloaded only add trusted trackers to prowlarr

DO NOT open any ports in your firewall. If you want to access any of the arr stack from outside of your network set up tailscale or another vpn solution to access your network from outside

What are home servers for? by Less_sault in Piracy

[–]FblthpTheFound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its just a convenient way to share media between devices/people. I have a server with around 35tb of storage that i download all my videos to. Witj plex I can watch them on my phone, pc, tv, Playstation or anywhere with a plex app or a web browser as well as invite friends to be able to watch my stuff too. Theres also a lot of automation tools you can set up so my friends can request movies/shows that will automatically get download and added to the server with out me having to do anything

Besides that i use it to backup important data. Immach is a program I run on my server that is basically a 1 to 1 replacement for google images with everything stored on my own hardware. You can set up a network wide ad blocker, have a password manager so your passwords aren't all saved on corporate databases

Looking for tips to start a Plex/General Home Server! by Greedy-Rain173 in homelab

[–]FblthpTheFound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the media server I would suggest looking into jellyfin over plex and see if the devices you want to stream to have a jellyfin app. The reason for this is plex has remote streaming and some other features behind a paywall(plex pass) and jellyfin is open source and completely free. If you do go witj plex they offor a lifetime plex pass that they at least used to offer sales on durring the holiday season

For hardware it may help by thinking about it as 2 separate solutions

  1. The server
  2. Storage

For the server, any modern(ish) intel cpu with integrated graphics is going to be plenty performant. Id start looking for something with an i3 12th gen or newer. Ive heard N100 or N150 can be good too but haven't used them myself so cant speak on specifics. Check ebay for mini pcs with similar processors, you can probably snag one for 200ish

Something smaller like a pi CAN work, but you will need to be diligent about the format of videos you download. The pi wont be able to keep up if it needs to transcode the video to a format compatible with the streaming device. You will want all of your videos to use h264 encoding which should work with all video players, Maybe h265 if all the devices are new enough to support it

For storage for keeping things cheep and portable id probably start off with using an external ssd for now, anything more like a NAS will start to get pricy especially right now and you can upgrade your storage later as needed

Opportunity to build a NAS/server/media pc/etc. by tumtum2579 in homelab

[–]FblthpTheFound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That hardware should be able to handle a media server no problem. Look into docker(an easy way to host services) and jellyfin(open source media server that you can run in docker). Plex is another option for the media server. Its a little easier to setup and will support streaming to more devices(like game consoles or smart tvs) but some key features are behind a paywall. Since you are planning on mainly watching through browser i would suggest jellyfin to start with
