I don’t use it since I use a paid service.

I also use an antenna with a HDHomeRun network tuner for local shows. Have you considered that? It’s only over-the-air channels of course, but combining it with something like Plex or Jellyfin lets you stream and record live TV from anywhere.

https://thetvapp.to/ is probably the best you’re going to find for free.

All the best IPTV services cost money and are hidden away, usually with just a private Discord or Telegram. The one I use is around $40/year but they’re not taking new customers (they’ve been closed to new customers for 3 or 4 years now).

There’s some well-known services you can find via Google, like Apollo TV, but they’re usually overpriced and just resell streams from a cheaper provider.

A lot of these devices are Ethernet-only to simplify things. Ethernet is more reliable, people that use KVM/IPMI for remote management usually use it via Ethernet, and it means they don’t need to bundle wifi drivers with their OS. Also, some of them are powered using PoE (Power over Ethernet) to avoid needing a separate power cable.

You could plug it into a cheap wifi bridge to make it wireless.

It might be your ISP trying to block it. I’m surprised they’re not using HSTS to force HTTPS.

wait for a Steam sale.

Not sure why someone in this community would suggest Steam over GOG. Every game on GOG is DRM-free, so you own it forever and the installer will keep working even if GOG goes away.

Games on Steam are a license they can revoke at any time. You don’t actually own the game. Some games are DRM-free, but there’s no way to get a standalone installer for them.

Some people pirate or crack games they legally own, just so they have more flexibility and aren’t treated like a criminal by DRM systems. You don’t need to worry about that with GOG.

Haha good point - maybe “generated by” is a better description?

I hate to say it, but there’s a lot of “vibe coders” that use AI to write their code, then they (or someone else) use AI to review it. No human brains involved.

The article says:

None of the tools produced exploitable SQL injection or cross-site scripting

but I’ve seen exactly this. After years of not seeing any SQL injection vulnerabilities (due to the large increase in ORM usage plus the fact that pretty much every query library supports/uses prepared statements now), I caught one while reviewing vibe-coded code written generated by someone else.

Why not use a provider like AirVPN that lets you use the same port number all the time?

Mine does this for the fridge but not for the freezer, which is confusing.

The issue with that is that all of them require internet access for that, and there’s no way I’m connecting my fridge to the internet.

I got a new fridge last year and the whole back of it (behind the shelves) is lit evenly, I guess with LEDs. Far nicer than a bulb.

How does this differ from every other distribution method, though? You can just as easily do something malicious with an Appimage or Debian/rpm package.

If you want to share something with just some people, they can create a Tailscale account and you can share it with them that way.

For public access, accessing it using a domain that uses your public IP should work. Most routers let you do that (“hairpin NAT”). Although to be honest, most of my public facing things are on a VPS rather than on my home server. More reliable and a higher quality internet connection for a fairly cheap price per month.

third party cameras won’t support detection unless you also add a Unifi AI Port.

Does Unifi not support ONVIF events? Seems like a pretty major missing feature if so. I guess they really do want to lock you into their ecosystem.

Are there security issues specific to Flatpak? I would have thought it’d be more secure than Appimage, since it’s sandboxed.

They already said they’re using Tailscale, so this isn’t needed. They can just use the Tailscale IP everywhere. On LAN it’ll connect over the LAN, and away from home it’ll connect over the internet. It comes with a .ts.net subdomains too.

Use Unraid’s native Tailscale support. Add each Docker container to the Tailnet. You don’t need split horizon DNS when using Tailscale, as the Tailscale IPs will work both on and off your LAN, as long as you’re connected to Tailscale. Don’t use a subnet router. Tailscale is peer-to-peer, so it’s still going to connect directly over your LAN when possible (it won’t route out to the internet then back)

https://unraid.net/tailscale

For TLS, you could use the Tailscale built-in .ts.net subdomains. Should work out-of-the-box. Otherwise, to use your own domain, f you can’t get access to Namecheap’s API you could run acme-dns instead.

Looks like an interesting project!

Could you please consider publishing it to Flathub?

On Android, I use ytdlnis, which is a wrapper around yt-dlp. You can “share” a video from to YouTube app to ytdlnis and it’ll add it to the download queue.
