I have all my apps running in Docker under Jailmaker and I don’t intend on moving to TrueNAS apps unless I am forced to. Currently I could move this entire setup to any machine I want, set up my jail mount points, launch up Dockge and I’d be up and running (with the same static IP at that!). If I moved to TrueNAS apps I think the transition and handling of mount points would probably be painful. If they remove jailmaker support in 25.xx like I’ve heard I’ll look into Incus or other solutions before using their apps.

I installed this after seeing your v1 post and already got use out of it resizing some images on mobile. The only thing I noticed as lacking was a multiple file selector, so this is a great first update!

I see it in the default WebUI, perhaps whatever app you’re using doesn’t support it?

I added a cheap PCI 4 slot NVMe expansion card and a couple of SSDs for a new pool and then migrated all the database-heavy stuff over to it. Required some use of local ZFS send/receive which I didn’t know was possible, but it has gone smooth so far. Very happy with it! It no longer sounds like my HDD pool is trying to escape from hell and some of the services are much snappier, especially Bitmagnet. I’d highly recommend it as an upgrade for anyone still running purely HDDs. I thought I could get away with it but ZFS speeds are no faster than single drives and the amount of stuff I had was hammering it non-stop.

I also bought my own domain finally to escape the free-tier dynamic DNS woes and I can finally feel good about sharing links with other people. I slapped a file share container with disabled registrations on a sub domain. I put it all behind free tier Cloudflare to hide my server’s IP, it took a little bit of learning what the different records are but so far much easier than I thought. Although I have yet to do the hardest part of setting up dynamic IP for my DNS records. I see a bunch of scripts floating around, but none seem that easy or well-maintained…

Oh, and the PI I’ve had running Pi-Hole v5 for god knows how long with no maintenance couldn’t run Tailscale, so I wiped the entire thing to start fresh and got it up and running with Pi-Hole v6, Tailscale, and Unbound. I like having these separated from my other services as they are more critical to have at all times and I have had 100% uptime with my Pi so far. Although I chose Dietpi for my OS on a whim because it looked interesting and am not sold on it. I like that it has easy software installs with sane defaults so I probably saved time overall, but the amount of time I spent debugging the weird choices Dietpi made for basic shit like networking options really threw me off.

I just wish more of the non-US ones supported .ca domains. :(

Forced transcoding should be an option in every Jellyfin client, but definitely the most needed on Roku. Banger update.

It’s pretty bad. That said, I search for “gethomepage” and find it every time.

I tried Firefly but sadly had to give it up. Every action felt like such a slog to do and overkill for what I wanted. I love tracking in detail but it was a bit much even for me. At the end of the day I just want to track in/out + categories and put this data in a few charts. I still find my spreadsheet is better at that.

It’s for people that like tracking things in detail, greasemonkey or no. I use it mostly for the gas mileage feature but also set up a couple of service reminders and added my service receipts. All easy to do but if you miss a fuel up it’s kind of annoying to track it right.

I’ve had this happen twice in two weeks since installing Watchtower and have since scheduled it to only run on Friday evening…

Okay you go convince the government to re-appropriate Tesla. While you’re doing that for the rest of your life everyone else will keep burning them to actually get something done.

I’ve been happily using Windscribe for a while now, they have port forwarding with a dedicated IP. Averaging out the separate charges, it’s about $4 USD/month for a custom plan (1 location + unlimited data) + dedicated IP. Technically their Pro tier includes ephemeral port forwarding, but I don’t like how it works.

I’m using Gluetun via Docker Compose as well right now and can happily say all the ports exposed via the ports: setting are local network only. I could port forward them via the router probably (haven’t tried) but I only use them for access via LAN. To expose ports over the VPN connection you use the FIREWALL_VPN_INPUT_PORTS environment variable. A stripped version of my current compose (example port numbers, not real) with LAN access to 6000 and WAN access to 1234 and 5678:

services:
  gluetun:
    image: qmcgaw/gluetun:latest
    restart: unless-stopped
    container_name: gluetun
    cap_add:
      - NET_ADMIN # in the default compose file i dunno what this does tbh
    environment:
      - VPN_SERVICE_PROVIDER=custom
      - VPN_TYPE=openvpn
      - OPENVPN_VERSION=<redacted>
      - OPENVPN_USER=<redacted>
      - OPENVPN_PASSWORD=<redacted>
      - OPENVPN_CUSTOM_CONFIG=/gluetun/custom.ovpn
      - FIREWALL_VPN_INPUT_PORTS=1234,5678 # allows ports through VPN connection
      - FIREWALL_OUTBOUND_SUBNETS=192.168.0.0/24 # I found that I needed this for certain LAN access
    ports:
      - 6000:6000 # port i access via LAN
    volumes:
      - /mnt/example/config.ovpn:/gluetun/custom.ovpn

Trump’s unreasonable nature is so obvious in the full video that I don’t see how anyone with two braincells can be on his side. Some highlights I want to share:

Reporter asks at 37:39 “… and who would protect those minerals … ?” Trump: “They’ll be protected. The agreement will protect them. The agreement, yeah we’re signing an agreement.” Reporter: “Right but what if Russia tries to invade or there’s russian agression in those spots.” Trump: “I just don’t think that’s going to happen.” He then deflects by trying to discredit the reporter since he couldn’t answer the question. So instead of giving Ukraine any guarantees or acknowledging Russia’s previous deceit, he hand waves it away.

At 33:45 “… what did [Putin] tell you that he wanted peace?”. Trump: “My whole life is deals … I’ve known him for a long time, he had to suffer through the Russia hoax, you know Russia Russia Russia it was a hoax. It was all Biden it was nothing to do with him … I think that he wants to make a deal and he would like to see it end.” What an absolute nothing answer. He’s asked why he believes this is viable and after a short attempt at making Russia the victim he just says, rephrased, “because, lol”.

At 39:50 Vance goes on a truly incoherent ramble about how Biden tried “thumping [his] chest and pretending that the president of the United States words mattered more than the President of the United States’s actions” and thus “the path to peace and the path to prosperity is maybe in engaging in diplomacy”. Ah, diplomacy, the path that is famously known for it’s lack of words… sending money to Ukraine or providing military aid? Those aren’t actions, they’re just words. Zelensky goes on to ELI5 to Vance how Putin broke diplomacy before the clips everyone is posting begins.

And just for fun, at 30:15 Trump delivers a line so stupid it almost breaks Zelensky’s poker face: “I’ve stopped wars, I’ve stopped many wars. My people will tell you, I’ve stopped wars that nobody ever heard about. I stopped wars before they ever started. … I could give you a lot of nations that would tell you right now they were probably going to war — I could tell you right now there is a nation thinking about going to war on something that nobody in this room has ever even heard about.”

This is ignoring all the times they try and blame Biden for Russia invading Ukraine which just ???

IIRC port forwarding is more of a problem with seeding than leeching.

“We’ve spent two years requiring our apps from the ground up to boost our development speed, which should enable us to bring new features to you more efficiently, across more platforms,”

… “and that’s why we’re deleting a bunch of features never to bring them back. Because we’re just so efficient!” Crazy how many companies use this awful excuse.

Also is that a misquote by the author or did they really write “requiring”?

You make a good point lol. I’ve made the classic blunder of not reading the sub name…

And for those wanting a simpler and more traditional application, Nicotine+ is a great introduction.

“Would have” or “would’ve”, never “would of”. Unless you have a would of gotten, in which case carry on.

Don’t make the same mistake I did. Get a backup in place before using ZFS. Using ZFS and RAIDing your drives together makes them a singular failure point. If ZFS fucks up, you’re done. The only way to mitigate this is having another copy in a different pool and preferably different machine. I got lucky that my corrupted ZFS pool was still readable and I could copy files off, but others have not been so lucky.
