I took a quick look at your website. The projects look really interesting. But just fyi, you might consider putting the website description text through an English grammar checker.

Both devices made ping attempts. Not hard to confirm with firewall logs bc of timestamps and internal IP addresses.

Physical disc in a cd/dvd/bluray drive

It does but I use makemkv for the Blu-ray decryption

MakeMKV handles my Blu-ray decryption for VLC

It tried to. I use an opnsense firewall which caught it. I copied my logs and submitted the domains to a popular dns blocklist and they’ve already been merged.

I’m all good. I really wasn’t asking for tech support. Just sharing something with the community. Don’t worry, Sony didn’t get my data.

Thanks for the helpful thoughts though.

VLC on a Linux laptop. You think my Blu-ray player has the ability to take screenshots?

This is really neat!

I wonder if SELinux is the culprit here. Bazzite is based on Fedora, right (like Nobara)?

It’s not a secret. They’re all on the Awesome Piracy Github page. The abbreviations are in parentheses next to the actual name.

Edit: for some reason you aren’t brought to the linked part of the page. Press enter again after the page is loaded and it should take you to the “Private Trackers” section.

You can go for the interviews at MAM, OPS or RED. They can give out invites for free. I don’t know of any other free way. If you’re willing to shell out some $$ you can buy a seed box through TorrentLeech.

I appreciate the response. I updated it and there was some success in that Jellyfin isn’t throwing errors anymore, which is a step in the right direction. So thank you for that. Unfortunately it still isn’t working. I did a little more log digging and found this:

[16:35:50] [INF] [1] Jellyfin.Plugin.Dlna.Main.DlnaHost: Registering publisher for urn:schemas-upnp-org:device:MediaServer:1 on 172.21.0.2 with uri http://172.21.0.2:8096/dlna/6a8078b6-cb55-4b46-acf0-64e99f2a7a79/description.xml

I think the issue might(?) be that DLNA is on a docker subnet and my home receiver is on a local 192.169.x.x subnet. I’m not sure though.

Edit: I also checked the Jellyfin docs and tried opening up ports 1900 and 7359 on the gluetun container. That didn’t do anything though.

How have they doubled their prices?

HDD manufacturers have been increasing their prices as of late for the same products that were previously cheaper

Nope. Most recent delta is a decrease of $0.0000022 per MB. And the general trend has been decreasing for decades.

my users can watch on their mobile devices for free using a license I paid for once close to a decade ago.

You sound like a boomer talking about the house they bought decades ago for $75,000.

It’s not the same at all.

Plex practically doubled their prices to access features that users previously had for free.

Can’t remember the last time a HDD manufacturer put previously free features behind a paywall or when a Mullvad doubled its prices.

Not a dumb question at all. There isn’t any software associated with my DAS. It attaches via a USB and mounts like a regular drive. It does have its own power supply so it stays on even when the computer is shut down. Then when the computer restarts, the drive mounts again.

It’s basically a giant attached hard drive.

Please don’t turn this community into a meme dumping ground. You can go to r/piracy for that.

I have a qnap tr-004 das. Works great. Raid5 configuration. Attached to my server. AMA.

This looks neat. Thanks for sharing.
