What could go wrong ™

True for content that is available this way, and if you have a flatrate broadband connection.

That’s what they’re doing:

Recently digitalized bunch of DVDs and BluRays.

it’s going to run across something it can’t do. And then what?

Experience shows that more often than not it will just lie to you.

Isn’t it also - at least in practice - bound to Google servers?

One reason why they were called grotesque in their early days.

*sigh* reminds me of a former coworker who asked if Linux wasn’t illegal. I think many IT-illiterates (and that includes many politicians) still think about it that way. Something fishy. “How can we make sure it’s safe when it’s free and open?”

Yet in the end many of the commercial (and partly closed) solutions already contain a lot of FLOSS. But politicians aren’t interested in that, they need to placate “The Economy”.

Please don’t do a witch hunt - it was censored for a reason. Sorry I didn’t do it thoroughly enough.

I’m not. But if this post should evolve into one, that’s on you. Do the sensible thing and remove it.

I have no idea who that is - your alt?

Downvoting is valid. You saying it equals hate says more about you than about the downvoters.

edit: hm, apparently this is about the user doing the downvoting, not being downvoted? Still, this is badly anonymized, and that’s my main point.

Yes, Ryanair. But even they could itemize what you had to pay extra for. OP got this instead:

What confuses me is how these things can be “volatile” and “fluctuating” before they bought the ticket?

edit: somebody made the Ryanair experience into an operetta song! https://youtu.be/ZAg0lUYHHFc

That’s like renting a flat and being charged extra for doors.

volatile, unpredictable or fluctuating operating costs and fees

Socialize the Costs and Privatize the Profits

Wir treffen Jill und Joe und dessen Bruder Hip
Und auch den Rest der coolen Gang
Sie rappen hin, sie rappen her
Dazwischen kratzen’s ab die Wänd’
Dieser Fall ist klar, lieber Herr Kommissar
Auch wenn sie anderer Meinung sind
Den Schnee, auf dem wir alle talwärts fahr’n, kennt heute jedes Kind

Jetzt das Kinderlied

Drah di ned um, oh, oh-oh
Schau, schau, der Kommissar geht um, oh, oh-oh
Er hot die Kroft und wia san klan und dumm
Und dieser Frust macht uns stumm
Drah di ned um, oh, oh-oh
Schau, schau, der Kommissar geht um, oh, oh-oh
Wenn ea di onspricht und du waßt warum
Sag eam, dein Lem bringt di um

Not sure if I love or hate the name

This really sounds like it would be illegal in many countries. Where are you?

But wherever you are, imho LIDL sucks ass. Around here they were the first discounter to hit the country, and forced established chains to lower prices, and so people like LIDL and believe in their slogan. But the truth is that they just package the cheapest option nicer than other supermarkets, and apparently that is still enough to make people think it’s quality stuff.

First of all, most media players are streaming/network capable, they don’t even advertise it. Just feed it the URL.

You can even integrate user/password combos for http simple auth into a direct link. Not the safest; just to avoid people getting wind of a free radio station and overloading your server. Unless that’s you want, but then you should be aware of legal stuff.

On the server side, you can run your own radio station with something like Icecast. That’s its own topic.

If you want to choose what you listen to remotely, you are most likely looking at something Subsonic-compatible (apps exist). People say Navidrome is good. I am currently running jellyfin, it’s not subsonic compatible but apps exist, too.

If crowdsec works for you thats great but also its a corporate product

It’s also fully FLOSS with dozens of contributors (not to speak of the community-driven blocklists). If they make money with it, great.

not exactly a pure self hosted solution.

Why? I host it, I run it. It’s even in Debian Stable repos, but I choose their own more up-to-date ones.

Allow me to expand on the problem I was having. It wasnt just that I was getting a knock or two, its that I was getting 40 knocks every few seconds scraping every page and searching for a bunch that didnt exist that would allow exploit points in unsecured production vps systems.

• Again, a properly set up WAF will deal with this pronto
• You should not have exploit points in unsecured production systems, full stop.

On a computational level the constant network activity of bytes from webpage, zip files and images downloaded from scrapers pollutes traffic. Anubis stops this by trapping them in a landing page that transmits very little information from the server side.

• And instead you leave the computations to your clients. Which becomes a problem on slow hardware.
• Again, with a properly set up WAF there’s no “traffic pollution” or “downloading of zip files”.

Anubis uses a weighted priority which grades how legit a browser client is.

And apart from the user agent and a few other responses, all of which are easily spoofed, this means “do some javascript stuff on the local client” (there’s a link to an article here somewhere that explains this well) which will eat resources on the client’s machine, which becomes a real pita on e.g. smartphones.

Also, I use one of those less-than-legit, weird and non-regular browsers, and I am being punished by tools like this.

All the self hosters in my internet circle started adopting anubis so I wanted to try it. Anubis was relatively plug and play with prebuilt packages

edit: I feel like this part of OP’s argument needs to be pointed out, it explains so much:

IMO this is largely Debian-specific: this distro seems to hold backward comaptibility in very high regard, so any problem is bound to have a multitude of solutions. In addition, the Debian Wiki is not as well maintained as you-know-whose.

I see nothing untoward here.

Except maybe that last sentence, what “s” are you talking about (fwiw, the man page that comes with an installed package should™ be the ultimate authority)?
