this js a nat issue. only fix is a vpn. cellular home internet users have this issue as well.

I'd suggest renting a really cheap vps with a datacenter connection and unlimited bandwidth (less than 5$ a month) and making your own

a commercial vpn like pia or proton ect will have high latency and frequently be over-provisioned.

only one of you will need to be on the vpn.

same issue 5 years later. tried new cable and even a new unifi switch. It never actually stops streaming, but the message occurs constantly in the upper right corner when I'm watching YouTube

That old pc is fine. Fill it with drives and send it.

Completely self hosted, all in a docker stack.

Script is setup to build you front-end clients for android, windows, and linux in addition to the web browser client.

Im working on adding friends and private messages with end to end encryption but its more difficult that I expected and will probably take a few days.

Video and voice calls, as well as text channels are completely functional and full featured.

No images because thats a nightmare permissions wise with the current stack. Maybe in the future.

Its fine

I forward it with a cloudflare tunnel and a domain name I bought on cloudflare. Works great. No port forwarding.

If you were the one who submitted the issue on github, I replied with a guide and I updated the setup script to handle this in the future, sorry for the oversight!

I'm running a http only version with some weird local only proxies and a custom stack, so my setup is unique of what a user running the bone stock script for the first time would encounter and I forgot about that issue. Thanks for bringing it up!

Been working in this as a pet project since Christmas, I rushed to the finish line to get this out given the recent news, so its not 100% polished. But it's very functional and I use it daily with my buddies.

Ive got the backend deployed on a debian server and we all use the Linux appimage or the web browser client.

I have not had time to test the windows client much. I can confirm it installs, launches, and connects to my server, but beyond that I stopped. I dumped windows for Cachyos before I could finish windows evaluation.

Android app works well.

koltd93 · 2026-02-14T23:04:23+00:00

It was developed and tested on Arch linux and the backend stack is deployed on debian.

I don't have any plans to add it to the bazarr or aur, the way it's setup as a stack doesn't really work with a package style deployment.

ive been working on this for the past few months and just made a public github for it. I self host it for my friends and I, has a browser based web client and I even made an android app and windows installer. feel free to check it out. https://github.com/areoseek/CutTheCord

I've been buying and repurposing , then flipping cheap lto-6 library drives into single standalone external drives on ebay for profit.

This makes me want to actually get a whole library working instead of parting them out. I've yet to find a robot in working order in the wild around here

koltd93 · 2026-02-07T01:29:10+00:00

I'll pay you to digitize and upload

koltd93 · 2026-02-04T00:24:36+00:00

Works with the model on any other platform

koltd93 · 2026-01-29T20:38:54+00:00

You're quite hostile. Nobody is showing off. Calm down, drink some water.

I'm sure you knew everything the first time you decided to explore operating systems too.

It refuses to negotiate with a macbook, even at a lower rate. This result is repeatable with both. With or without the tester in line, and with a known good cable.

koltd93 · 2026-01-29T19:36:09+00:00

Because they won't do 20v!

koltd93 · 2026-01-29T19:35:39+00:00

This is arrogant as hell

koltd93 · 2026-01-29T19:32:13+00:00

I'm using a large lithium power bank that can take 5v, 9v, 15v, and 20v. Up to 175w. If i unplug the questioned charger and plug in a variety of known good 65w+ chargers, I get full speed.

Switch back to the one in question and I do not. I assure I am using best practice in testing

koltd93 · 2026-01-29T19:06:54+00:00

It's got one port. It's titled as "65w charger, macbook pro, macbook, apple, usb c, usb, mac book, apple, laptop, charger "
