  • Wow ! I will still try mealie /Tandoor for family purpose and ease of use. If it doesn't work as expected, I will totally try this out !!

    One question if you don't mind,

    servings Indicates how many people the recipe is for. Used for scaling quantities. Leading number is used for scaling, anything else is ignored but shown as units.

    Does this function work well? I didn't saw any examples so maybe you could tell me :)

    Thanks !

  • Fair point ! Yeah sure if you host a blog online it doesn't make sense... But if you only self-host your services for family and some friends and access them over VPN, a local CA is actually a privacy respecting choice.

    Hosting something on the web (specially self-hosted) without the propre software and hardware is a bad idea in the first place anyway !

  • I also believe it's possible to set up HTTPS encryption without a domain name, but it might result in that "we can't verify the authenticity of this website" warning in web browsers due to using a self-signed certificate.

    Just create your own rootCA and IntermediateCA and sign your certificate with those, put the CA in your trust store of your system and get rid of this self-signed warning on every device and happily access all your service via: *.home.lab or whater ever local domain pleases you.

  • In addition to that, without a secure connection you’re stuck with HTTP/1.1

    That's not entirely true. A lot of requests, even with https, are send over HTTP/1.1. And this is kinda mind blowing that in 2025 we still rely on something so old and insecure...

    Same goes with SMS and the old SS7 protocol from 1970... 2FA SMS is probably the most insecure way to get access to your bank account or what ever service promotes 2FA sms login.

  • I read that somewhere from a github repository maybe even in Navidrome's pull requests or Issues maybe?

    I think the argument was that in directory structure you always have to think where you have to put your files and sometimes a file can be at 2 different places at the same time and I do agree to some degree, that's why I use both :) !

  • Yeah... Newer genration are into "put everything in 1 big messed up directory and find all you needs by tags" structure.

    I get the gist, but calling directory structure evil is kinda extreme. It allows to structure your thoughts and if somehow your metadata is corrupted, you still have a directory structure.

    I work on both front for compatibility issues but nothing beats a well thought directory structure!!

  • What application do you use on your phone to mount samba shares (Android)? I know Amaze can mount those but they are not easily accessible by other applications.

  • Not sure this is what you are looking for but navidrome has smart playlists, which is a small configuration file you can add to your navidrome and will automagically create a playlist in your navidrome based on your config.

  • Was going to say the same ! Such a cutsy nice little mini-rack/server setup !

    Still fighting my spaghetti setup with cables sprouting everywhere.

  • You can already do that (somehow) with tags and libraries. There's a plugin for that.

    But yeah this looks less complicated to setup and maintain !

  • I think (I will not dive this rabbit hole right now haha) it's only related to the pi 3 archtitectur (shared USB bus with the ethernet controller?).

    Yeah it probably added a lot of overhead and I/O bottleneck due not beeing optimized for it. But I'm not sure this is applicable in a more conventional setup !

    I have an older laptop (+/- 10 years old) which run nicely with LVM-ext4 and does not hang or choks on piHole + qbittorrent in a similar setup.

    Guess, I have to keep it simple on my pi 3, But happy it works as expected now !

  • Hii :) Just as friendly reminder... Don't put a LVM system on an old Raspberry pi 3B+ !! I solved the issue when putting everything on a simple EXT4 filesystem. Now I'm able to download, upload, check integrity and resolve DNS without it giving a sweat.

  • Hello sorry to pin you but I fixed and found the culprit: putting an LVM ext4 filesystem on an old raspberry pi 3B+ was not the brightest idea I guess... After putting everything on a simple EXT4 partition I'm able to download, check integrity and resolve DNS without giving a sweat !

    Thanks again and have a nice whatever you're in right now :).

  • Ohh daaamn... I lost my answer while doing something else on my phone... Fuck !

    I didn't expect to much for such an old device, however It should be capable to hold a small piHole (3 devices connected to the dns resolution) and a moderate qbit installation.

    While uploading works wihout any I/O choking on the HDD on 100 torrents (sometimes uploads upto 10MB/s, which is the pi's limitation...) It can't handle a single download file? And checking the file integrity just makes the DNS resolution on piHole timeout ! That's kinda frustrating, because from the spec side It should be capable :/.

    I don't think It's CPU or ram limited, with TOP/HTOP it is kinda getting a spike when checking or downloading a file, but nothing that would completely stop piHole dns resolution, this is bound to I/O choking on the HDD, which is even more frustrating, cause there's nothing I can do about it I guess? The HDD health is okay, it's a repurposed WD Red with acceptable SMART results. Also the pi is running with the correct cable I got with.

    If it’s CPU bound you could try deprioritizing qbit and upping the priority of pi hole.

    Even if it's not CPU bound I will give this a try, didn't know that was possible, thanks for the insight !! Also while rewritting my response, I though of maybe to increase the swap file/partition, and I'm not even sure I have one, so I have 2 things to try out when home !!

    Thanks for your anwser !

  • Yeaaah, that's my point... It should be capable but it chokes on a single download file while uploading works without even giving a sweat.

    lots of bad experiences with qbt @ pi3,

    Yeah so it's not just me. It's kinda sad I though I could use it as a low power mini qbittorrent server and DNS service.

    I guess it will only run piHole then ! Thanks for your personal experience.

  • Actually, there are ways for home customers to replace their XGS-PON to use your own hardware (Orange, Free, SFR...) And some other cool stuff and very helpful info at lafibre.info forum !

  • AKA: Disk Destroyer ! 🫣

  • To give you a concrete exemple, while it isn't directly relates to EU laws, France enforced age verification for pornsite to protect the children !

    So it seems to me they are slowly, bit by bit, enforcing those stupid laws not EU wise, but country by country ^^!

  • God... Canadians are dedicated as fuck !
