How reliable are the infos from iknowwhatyoudownloaded.com?

100% accurate. Either you, or someone who has/has had your IP (CGNAT) has downloaded those torrents in one way or another.

That sucks, I immediately wanted it. :(

generally is less hands-on for transcoding.

Yeah, I'm not gonna give you that one. It's a single option that you toggle. Wanna use your nvidia GPU? Enable NVENC. AMD gpu/cpu? AMF. Intel CPU? QSV.

Really not that hard...

Because why run one server for all your needs when you can double up, right? /s

but always struggled with getting it to show which device was making the call

This depends on how you have your devices setup to use your DNS. For e.g, in my home I have my Phone and PC setup to use the IP of my AdGuard server. In AdGuard, I have them as named devices. All other devices on my network use the router as DNS, so all other requests that are not coming from my PC or Phone indicate "router" as the name.

What’s your use case look like?

Home based server running AdGuard forwarded through a caddy reverse_proxy to a domain. Using DoH/3 so even when remote I use my own DNS. Works great.

I try to explain this to the plex cultists and they usually have one of two responses;

  1. "Why would I be without internet?"
  2. "How is that helpful?"

Takes every ounce of willpower I have to not eye roll.

I would say there's no value in assigning such a tight definition on self-hosting--in saying that you must use your own hardware and have it on premise.

I would define selfhost as setting up software/hardware to work for you, when turn-key solutions exist because of one reason or another.

Netflix exists. But we selfhost Jellyfin. Doesn't matter if its not on our hardware or not. What matters is that we're not using Netflix.

Escaping vendor lock-in. It's why people hate the cloud when it used to be the answer for everything. You make a good product that can only be used with your hardware/software, whatever, and people run from that shit because it's abused more often than not.

Apple is the biggest example of this. Synology is getting worse and worse. Plex not far behind either.

To the surprise of absolutely no one. Tends to happen when you cultivate one of the most tixic online spaces on the net. I've never asked a question on SO, but just the verbiage used to accost people just trying to learn is just insane. Mods don't really care about post content as long as its not perceived as "hostile," so you can be generally as passive aggressive and shitty as you want. It's just...weird.

You can find especially viperis content when you find a question which has been answered, but someone is just like "Well, this isn't the way that I do it!" etc, and then go on a tirade about how the question was asked poorly and the answer doesn't completely answer the question.

Shit is just wild.

The best part about it, is that the old-as-fuck Democrats hate it, which makes me love it all the more.

You got a nice guttural laugh outta me for that one.
