What? I’m in 3 private torrent trackers, and have usenet also and 90% of stuff I grab with *arr software are from usenet, even stuff that’s new/releasing rn have best releases on usenet.

Only way torrent is better is if you get into those super private trackers but otherwise usenet is still better in my case.

I’m using the default list alongside Firehol BotScout list and Firehol cybercrime tracker list set to ban.

Also using the Firehol cruzit.com list set to do captcha, just in case it’s not actually a bot.

I’m also using the cs-firewall-bouncer and a custom bouncer that’s shown on crowdsecs tutorials to detect privilege escalation for if anybody actually manages to get inside.

Alongside that I’m using a lot of scenario collection’s for specific software I’m using like nextcloud, grafana, ssh, … which helps a lot with attacks directly done on a service and not just general scraping or both path traversing.

All free and have been using it for a year, only complaint I have is that I had to make a cronjob to restart the crowdsec service every day because it would stop working after a couple days because of the amount of requests it has to process.

And the comminity blocklists are updated when more than a couple ( I think the number is something like 10-50 ) instances of crowdsec block an ip in some fast timeframe.

The ai blocklist just adds IP when even one instance finds an AI trying to scrape right from the useragent.

So even if the community blocklist has fewer ai ip’s, it does eventually include them.

Try crowdsec.

You can set it up with list’s that are updated frequetly and have it look at caddy proxy logs and then it can easilly block ai/bot like traffic.

I have it blocking over 100k ip’s at this moment.

I use nixos on my desktop, the server is a debian one but might be good to install nix on it.

I just have to import only one. Might just use thunderbird for that.

Will test out mailcow and see how it goes.

Too bad I don’t live in modern times, I only have a wood burning fireplace to heat up my house.

It’s also the same thing I cook on in winter.

Picture for reference.

Or mpv, the real chad.

It was a systemd issue, after installing network manager, enabling it and disabling systemd-networkd share now mount’s in a matter of second’s.

I don’t like the fact I got to use network manager, but whatever.

According to log’s it’s a systemd-networkd-wait-online.service issue, which shouldn’t be an issue because I’m using ethernet and share get’s automaunt request when I login into my user and load my xorg server.

Yes systemd is waiting until the network is up before trying to mount them, and am using the feature of systemd to not load until I need them to load.

From reading the logs further seems to be an issue with systemd not being able to properly check if network is up because I don’t use network manager, because after systemd-networkd-wait-online.service times out the nfs share get’s mounted right away,

Plus learn to buy in smaller quantities, to me this seems nore like an issue of buying more than they can eat.

I never touched streaming services, mostly cause they came to my country 2years ago and were already shit they are now, plus cost me too much to even afford one.

So I just have torrenting setup automated with arr software. ( Don’t even need a vpn because my country has no copyright laws so free to torrent whatever I wan’t )

The more and more of stuff like this I see, the kore I just wan’t to buy the cheapest possible mini pc, make it tv remote controllable and just put it to open jellyfin directly that’s connected to my home media server.

And then hook it up to the most dumb tv I can fijd with decent picture quality.

That’s a fine but, as long as the server was hosted at my personal devices, which it isn’t but on a hetzner dedicated box. Which is still better than on shared pc’s.

Don’t really need it, it’s just nice to have.

The streaming services wont work if you have no access to interner lol.

At my last job I had to travel to my work dailly for over an hour in one way, for almost the whole travel I didn’t have any network or phone reception.

Will much rather just have music on a media server and a client that allows me to locally download some of my favouritr music for such situations like navidrome and synfonium than pay for spotify premium to allow me to do that.
