Are you asking about music, or audiobooks specifically? I haven’t tinkered with audiobooks so am not sure if that’s handled differently…
For music I’ve been using Jellyfin as the server. On Android have tried a bunch of different apps, substreamer and Symfonium are the better apps. But I also like Fintunes, Jellify, and Resonus.
Fun fact: You can use most OpenSubsonic / Subsonic compatible apps with Jellyfin once you add the Subfin plugin (https://github.com/williamkray/subfin-plugin).
Haven’t heard of torrent clients, or anything related to the bittorrent protocol, running on the Freenet network. They do have a list of their standard apps here https://freenet.org/apps/ , were you referring to some other app enabling bittorrent that isn’t listed there?
To be fair I’m way out of the loop, last time I tried Freenet must have been 20-something years ago. Apparently its been forked at some point and now Hyphanet exists as well (https://www.hyphanet.org/). EDIT: Not forked exactly, but there are two versions of Freenet now as explained in the FAQ https://freenet.org/about/faq/#what-is-the-projects-history
The only reason I noticed is that back when I tried Freenet there was 1 file sharing app that people sort of used called Frost (https://jtcfrost.sourceforge.net/) I just looked it up and it still exists but seems to work for the Hyphanet version of Freenet, maybe not the baseline Freenet itself. It’s not torrents but it exists if that’s something you’re interested in.
Also keep in mind unless things have drastically changed Freenet is SLOW, so file sharing is going to be SLOW. You’ve been warned :P
PS - Maybe check out I2P (https://i2p.net/), Torrents over I2P is a thing and more people should be using that IMO. You won’t need a VPN nor need to worry about port forwarding anymore. Downside is that it’s slower than regular torrents (but much, much faster than anything on Freenet). Another downside is that not enough people are using it so not a lot of seeds/peers.
Jelllyfin + Subfin (https://github.com/williamkray/subfin-plugin) works well, I’ve been using it with the OpenSubsonic Android apps listed in https://www.navidrome.org/apps/?platform=android&api=opensubsonic without issue. e.g. Substreamer, Tempus, Airdrome, etc. all work fine with Jellyfin + Subfin.
I’m guessing you’re not on Android or iOS since Jellyfin has apps on those platforms - but you should be able to use any Subsonic/OpenSubsonic app once set up with the plugin.
Probably better for !reddit@lemmy.ml or !reddit@lemmy.world

Maybe that’s specific to UK? I’ve never had to upload ID at any of the general domain registrars but am not in the UK. Maybe you’re looking for a registrar that doesn’t do that for UK residents, specifically. (or you might need to use a VPN or something, dunno)
Privacy aside most people tend to buy a domain at the cheapest registrar (keeping in mind whether to renew at that registrar later or transfer out to a new one when the time comes). There are domain registrar sites people use for comparison, been a bit since I’ve needed to shop around but sites like https://tld-list.com/ can be helpful. You could try doing a lookup there and work your way down the list until you find one you like.
Or if you’re really set on looking for a service that actually advertises no KYC then looking through this list may help https://kycnot.me/?categories=domains (njalla is one of the listed ones there as someone else mentioned).
I made the jump to OPNsense recently, ended up buying a Protecli to install it on and its been working great so far. For me it sort of made sense since I wanted to have a little purpose built fanless system with Intel NICs, and Coreboot and Console access via USB are nice bonuses too. My original thinking was to try running other services on the same hardware (using Proxmox maybe) but for now it just runs OPNsense and nothing else… maybe it’s better for the network firewall to just be the network firewall, it’s the one thing I don’t want to crash and have an outage with.
But you don’t have to do that, pretty much any Intel/AMD based system with multiple Intel NICs should work with an OPNsense install. The other mini pc vendors will be a bit cheaper for sure, just be mindful of RAM and storage prices right now.
You included AirVPN in that list even though they aren’t mentioned in either of your screenshots… maybe a typo? I’ve never heard of them being associated with Kape so am curious why you lumped them into all that.
On VirusTotal only 2/67 Antivirus vendors flag it as anything
That’s the usual sign of a false positive, a real malware/virus issue would show up in pretty much all the main scans.
EDIT: Here’s another scan, 0 antivirus vendors flagged in this one - Jotti is a much smaller site but you get the idea
Sound normal for Windows, back when I was using Windows I usually had to whitelist torrent clients in Windows Defender otherwise the torrent client .exe would disappear randomly during a virus scan. It was always some sort of false positive.
Yeah I was bit surprised too, are people/bots just starring any repo with “Github” in the name?
Those who bought an Office license back in 2019 are very much likely to have upgraded their packages already
You’d be shocked how often that’s not the case. So, so many people and small businesses don’t feel like buying another new license of MS Office and instead just re-install an old licensed version on their new system when needed. Just in my own bubble of working at different small businesses or helping people with computers I’ve repeatedly encountered ancient versions of MS Office that people cling on to. People that do lots of IT support in the field must encounter this fairly regularly.
When I ask/question people on using their old outdated MS Office it’s some combination of “I don’t want to learn something new” or “I paid for it so I’ll keep using it”.
And nowadays, besides LibreOffice, people also have the option of using MS Office Online or Google Docs but that still falls into the category of needing to do things slightly differently vs what they’re used to.
Not sure if you already know, the Piefed software (and pifed.social site) does maintain a list of default domains they block. It’s mostly right leaning/far right type stuff but still, hosting a conservatism community on an instance that censors/blocks a lot of those related links… is certainly a choice.
See https://lemmy.ml/post/47022286/25574741 and rest of the post discussing it.
I’ve no interest in the community, just letting you know in case you’re wondering why certain news site links don’t show up there.
Offhand I’d suspect a finicky adapter. Does the adapter work with other disks? Does the disk work when plugged into a server/computer directly?
Assuming it’s the adapter being finicky - did you happen to try using other USB cables with the adapter?
When plugging into the system - Does the dmesg output display anything else useful, any warnings or anything? I would have thought it would give you the USB drive chipset vendor/model, I didn’t think Sabrent builds their own chipsets but could be wrong.
Also would try doing a smartctl --scan followed by a smartctl -a /dev/YOUR-EXTERNAL-DRIVE and see what comes up. (those are part of smartmontools)
tried it via tor
Doesn’t load in Tor for me either but I suspect their site is simply blocking Tor. The site does load fine outside Tor in the regular clearnet.
9 times out of 10 these sort of things turn out to be a DNS issue on your end, you might want to double-check you’re actually able to query their IP address via nslookup freedns.afraid.org or similar. (assuming you’ve already tried other web browsers to rule out issues with installed extensions or specific browser settings).
Adding onto the other comments, if you have admin access to your network router/firewall you can configure the incoming port forward itself to only allow specific IP addresses while dropping traffic from any other internet WAN IPs. It’s a bit like using the Jellyfin whitelist/blacklist but doing it at the network level. This drops all unwanted internet traffic to that port at the firewall before ever reaching the Jellyfin software. Downside is having to occasionally update the firewall whenever there are IP address changes.
This is probably only feasible if you only have some specific Jellyfin clients in mind to accept connections from, not any random person from any random WAN IP address.
You didn’t mention your laptop specs but I’d say if your laptop has USB 3.0+ ports then you should be okay with plugging in a multi-drive USB DAS (like the ones with 2-5 drive bays) or even a single drive USB enclosure if that’s your preference. I have a few that I use on and off without issue.
Slower USB speeds are also functional but the performance hit will be noticeable.
I’m not on that specific tracker but some of the others have similar sort of rules
They have something about changing IPs, it seems you can’t change IPs too often and you can’t have multiple accounts in the same IP. Why?
That’s generally for detecting ban evasion / duplicate accounts. But I think with most private trackers you’d just need to let staff know if you’re in a shared IP situation.
They absolutely not allow mobile client, which means, you need to let your PC on all the time, sum this up with the fact that they require 72h seed within the next 30 days, this is a t least 2.5h of seed daily and if you miss one day for any reason it’d be even more for the next days. But my question is about the mobile, why the hell can’t I use my phone to seed? I talked to a mod and they argue mobile isn’t reliable due to battery optimization and it might kill the client. What does this even mean?
The mod is sort of right about that one. Most mobile users aren’t even connectable (port forwarded) so that’s problem number 1. And problem 2, yes Android does pause apps for battery optimization - but technically you can configure your Android to not do that for specific apps, not sure if it works for all phones but in mine I just bring up the App Info, go to App Battery Usage, and make sure to enable “Allow Background Usage”… most people wouldn’t really want to do that and run down their phone battery constantly but I guess it’s an option. Maybe bring that up as a tracker suggestion/rule change though it does seem easier just to tell members not to use mobile clients.
Why the torrent clients are so limited even the version you can use? What it has to do with anything at all? Again, is not seeding just enough?
Maybe specific to that tracker, not sure. But usually torrent client lists exist because the tracker staff tested those clients against the private tracker software to verify that stats are being tracked correctly. And sometimes they do ban clients due to being buggy, being used for ratio cheating, that sort of thing.
Should I use PFsense or OpenWRT?
I wouldn’t recommend pfSense unless you’re already invested in it (e.g. already have a pfSense setup and want to transfer your config files and settings over). Netgate (parent company) has been moving towards their paid versions (pfSense Plus and TNSR), the Plus version is free if you buy their router otherwise will cost you some money for a subscription. And meanwhile they stopped providing current downloads of full installs/builds of the free community pfSense so actually getting the current 2.8.1 is a hassle now - you’re expected to download their Netgate installer that needs internet access to download the full install while installing the router software, or you need to download/install an older version of pfSense (2.7.0 I think) and then get online to update it to 2.8.1.
Just went through all that doing a re-install, it’s crazy that I need to have internet access to install the router that will provide internet access LOL.
OPNsense is a well known alternative. OpenWRT could work too but I haven’t used it personally.

That’s interesting, not sure that I trust an AI coded game enough to load onto my phone. But it is amusing seeing an AI project using the copyright “Tetris” name, most human coders aren’t brave enough to re-use the name itself. But AI is gonna AI I guess.
LOL burning through someone else’s stash of tokens is one way to stop them from vibe coding.
