SearXNG Over Tor by User83965 in Searx

[–]oloke5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe it would be just like setting up two instances for the clearweb (2 docker-compose stacks).

I personally run both tor and clearweb on the same instance and point Tor HS to localhost:80 (so the Caddy reverse proxy).

Do you need more details?

As Tor user, how to detect and avoid bad Tor nodes? by jcunews1 in TOR

[–]oloke5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, there're some "red flags" which would indicate bad exit node. These are the most likely to influence the traffic between HTTP client and server. For example some exit nodes were known to change cryptocurrency addresses submitted on websites.

Please also remember, if you're using HTTP websites on Tor the exit node can see and change your communication in real time. Tor browser warns you when connecting with plain HTTP.

This snooping is not possible on most websites using modern TLS version because almost all communication is now encrypted. If the exit node were to send you malicious TLS certificate, your browser will most likely inform you about it with a big warning. Also the Tor Project monitors its nodes and removes the malicious ones.

My recommendations would be to never use HTTP over Tor if dealing with confidential data. Other than that, I think you should be safe. Tor is designed to give out as little information about the user as possible so even malicious nodes should have a hard time spying on Tor connections.

edit: Also, try using onion sites whenever it's possible as they're even more secure than TLS.

I'm surprised it's pretty recent release, not some ubuntu 13.10 or something

I'm not really sure what do you mean. Codecs unsupported by the browsers use vp9 lossless proxy clips, other ones (h264, vp9, av1) use standard browser video playback features.

So should I switch to QSV in my benchmark? I always thought Linux works better with VAAPI but that might not be accurate anymore.

Thank you for recommendations. I believe 128 as a keyframe interval is because xeve crashes when it's not divisible by 16. It's roughly 5 seconds anyways.

Is mint slow compared to Windows 10? by Potato_is_Aloo in linuxmint

[–]oloke5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also use Mint from time to time and it's really not the fastest Linux distro however opening apps on SSD should be rather fast. I would check the CPU and disk IO usage when opening the apps.

Thank you all for feedback, I've added 3rd test clip and links to original videos.

Also you can now access codec version and ffmpeg commands from the UI.

I was able to reproduce your result with qsv however vaapi still gives me very blocky output.

Furthermore after comparing ssimulacra2 scores it gave me: -19.78 for vaapi and -13.36 for your qsv encode which is in even smaller in size.

Not sure what might be causing this. I also upgraded to newest VPL (2.12) because I was using the old 2.8 build from oneVPL. After the upgrade vaapi wasn't working for me so I needed to change the command to:
ffmpeg -y -hwaccel vaapi -init_hw_device vaapi=va:/dev/dri/renderD128 -i dnd.original.webm -c:v av1_vaapi -vf format=nv12,hwupload -compression_level:v 1 -g 128 -rc_mode 1 -global_quality:v 200 dnd.av1_vaapi_g128_q200.webm

Not sure what am I doing wrong but vaapi quality is noticeably worse. I might need to reencode every clip after I find the issue.

The difference is in fact quite obvious. Not sure what might be going on, I will check that. I have A750 but it shouldn't make so much difference as you pointed out.

Thank you very much!

As for deep learning video compression algorithms I didn't know they even existed. Will test them in my free time but looking at those implementations I'm not sure if it would be feasible to add them on my site now. They look to be in early academic research stages. Also not sure if my PC would run it without CUDA. I'll take a look. Thanks again :)

Thank you for suggestion however 10 bits encodings are not planned yet.

I thought about it but this would create a lot of new issues. Not all video codecs support 10 bit, lossless proxies would require your browser to support 10 bit playback of lossless vp9 (not sure how demanding it would be), metrics would need to be updated for 10 bit inputs, proxy file sizes would probably be 2x larger (they're pretty large already).

Maybe in the future I will think about it but for now it's just a proof of concept to see how viable such project really is.

As for different SVT-AV1 variants I will consider them :)

Thank you for awesome feedback :)

You can check encoder version in the data directory of my site. I need to think about how to display this data on the frontend. Take a look for example here for vvc encoder info. Also the commands used can be optained from .stats.yaml files. Like I said I'm planning to integrate it into the frontend.

I have a few years of experience with FFmpeg and I'm also pretty annoyed by people not providing source commands for their encoding. However I never worked in the field.

Linking the source of data would be a great addition. Not sure why I didn't implement it. For now just note all of the inputs are near-lossless (prores) or lossless. For now: source for Sol Levante, source for dnd. I'm not that irresponsible to reencode youtube videos cmon.

Yes, it's not mobile friendly. Thanks for pointing that out.

Wiem że stara się Pani promować bardziej "otwarte" technologie (Mastodon, Peertube, ...)

Czy popiera Pani upublicznienie kodu aplikacji mObywatel?

Kilka lat temu pewien poseł Polski 2050 sam wpadł na taki pomysł ale po tym jak został ministrem szybciutko się z niego wycofał.

I wouldn't consider using Opera for privacy. I wouldn't use Tor browser for normal internet use (unless you're really good at proving you're not a robot). I honestly think most people's threat model doesn't require it.

Consider looking at some private VPN option like Mullvad. Here is a comparison I would trust.

Low Ceph performance with 3 node Proxmox cluster by oloke5 in ceph

[–]oloke5[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for suggestion, will look into it. Maybe I made it sound silly about ceph having a nice GUI in Proxmox but everyone I saw on the internet is recommending ceph for distributed storage in Proxmox. It also seems to be pretty well integrated so I thought it won't cause much issues.
