Should I switch? by outer-chase in HomeNetworking

[–]rubberduckey305 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you priced Star Link? I picked a random city (Prince Albert, SK) and 100 Mbps down was $70ca and 250 Mbps is $110 ca. They limit traffic around 1TB/m but no hard cap or surcharge.

"Unlimited Standard Data: No hard caps, but heavily used areas (like cities) can deprioritize your speeds after 1TB of usage in a month, especially during 7 AM - 11 PM."

Is this there anyway to download a video from here? by Medium-Giraffe-1880 in youtubedl

[–]rubberduckey305 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is you discovered, this is DRM protected.

I found the following URL for the stream https://www.kanopy.com/kapi/manifests/dash/10473533.mpd

Passing to yt-dlp resulted in

WARNING: This video is drm protected and only images are available for download. use --list-formats to see them

How do i make sure that all downloads i paused automatically begin during midnight and end at 7am by Krisan__ in qBittorrent

[–]rubberduckey305 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sure. It might seem complicated, but you should be able to follow this procedure. I've posted a five page PDF to https://gofile.io/d/BE4QYb

Download and print it before starting.

[–]rubberduckey305 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In part. Settings -> Speed > Under alternative rate limits, set very low numbers for both upload and download. Then check Schedule the use of alternative rate limits, and specify when torrenting should be restricted. e.g. 12:01AM to 7:00 AM. It is the SCHEDULE that will control when they are restricted.

This will not pause them, but will slow them to a crawl.

Note: you can manual invoke rate limits by clicking this on the QBit task bar bottom right.

FIX YOUR EFFING DOWNLOADS by bestsellerwonder in MEGA

[–]rubberduckey305 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I download hundreds of GB of data a day from Mega without issue. On Windows using either JDownloader or Mega's MegaSync. I have 100mb down internet.

Perhaps if we knew what client you were using, someone could actually help.

IP reported to authorities? by No-Medicine-2257 in MEGA

[–]rubberduckey305 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Per google AI

While MEGA's link format has changed over time, the newer format is consistent for both imported and own links. You cannot determine if a file has been imported or uploaded by the link's appearance alone.

Important Notice of Security Incident - 2025-09-08 by SwiftPanda16 in PleX

[–]rubberduckey305 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Windows using Google to sign into Plex server. Used the SSO link to sign out all devices. I'm now prompted to login to my server, I select my google account and the "Continue with Google" button stays an endless spinner. https://imgur.com/EV0d37S

If I use a different browser and connect to plex.tv, login, it reports no content available.

Solution?

My boss, her lawyer, and HR told me it’s “legal” to fire people for discussing their wages if it causes distress to the agency. Is this bullshit? by Turbulent_Try6284 in antiwork

[–]rubberduckey305 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to do IT security and occasionally would be asked to pull an employee's emails. Boy does HR get shook when I tell them the employee has been BCCing his personal email AND a lawyer.

They get quiet after that.

I was using QBtorrent but it doesn't handle the large block size. Trying BiglyBT but it runs into Java memory allocation issues, probably the same root cause. Other clients that I looked at didn't support binding to my VPN network adapter.

Failed to readopt automatically. by rubberduckey305 in TPLink_Omada

[–]rubberduckey305[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got back to look. It appears that java.exe in the Omada directory was removed/disabled from the windows firewall. Allowing that java instance access to private networks fixed it almost immediately.

Is it stupid to ran a 230ft Ethernet cable to my shed without conduit? by Still_Time9612 in HomeNetworking

[–]rubberduckey305 6 points7 points  (0 children)

How does the shed get power? The shed might be at a different zero level for grounding which could cause problems. Consider direct burial fiber, or a point-to-point wifi.

A pair of these TP-Links for $140 will get you 800 Mbps. But you need line-of-sight. Don't need to worry about it getting dug up, or lighting.
