I’m not sure which clients are used to connect. Perhaps some proof of work challenge for the connecting client to solve first? Anubis does this for http(s) and browsers. I’ve seen it in the wild quite often in the last weeks, so it seems to be effective (until the scrapers learn to use selenium to mimic browsers or so).

Thanks.

Since virtiofs has been developed for this scenario, it would be sane to use it for VMs. Thanks for the hint.

I will look into it. Some users had issues to get it running with incus - older unsupported libvirtd versions in the distri. Also dxa isn’t supported, yet. But maybe it is still better than NFS performance wise.

Moot point. I do not really need the distributed storage part for my scenario. Not right now.

Maybe I start with NFS and explore gluster as soon as storage distribution is needed. Looks like it could be a drop-in eplacement for NFSv3. Since it doesn’t access the block devices directly, I still could use the respective fs’ tool set (I.e. ext4 or btrfs) for maintenance tasks.

Thanks. I will take a closer look into GlusterFS and Ceph.

The use case would be a file storage for anything (text, documents, images, audio and video files). I’d like to share this data among multiple instances and don’t want to store that data multiple times - it is bad for my bank account and I don’t want to keep track of the various redundant file sets. So data and service decoupling.

Service scaling isn’t a requirement. It’s more about different services (some as containers, some as VMs) which should work on the same files, sometimes concurrently.

That jellyfin/arr approach works well and is easy to set up, if all containers access the same docker volume. But it doesn’t when VMs (KVM) or other containers (lxc) come into play. So I can’t use it in this context.

Failover is nice to have. But there is more to it than just the data replication between hosts. It’s not a priority to me right now.

Database replication isn’t required.

Thanks for asking. I left that detail out. An SSD which is attached to the virtualization host via SATA. I plan to use either a LVM2 volume group or a BTRFS with subvolumes to provide the storage pool to Incus/LXC.

Doesn’t work for me. Self inflicted DDOS?

I’m not in their target audience.

Tripwire and auditd can monitor a filesystem and notify you about changes. I don’t know the tools myself, because i never needed them. Maybe these can give you a hint on the responsible service.

If you suspect a certain service to be responsible: what do the logs of the service say? If nothing: increase the loglevel to info or debug?

Sorry. No solution. Just ideas. Good luck.

Good.

Exposing Jellyfin/ plex through routing or SNAT plus dyndns would be a cheap option.

As soon as one rents a VPS (to expose the selfhosted at home service through routing/ tunneling) it would cost at least 2€/ month?

I learned the term sovcit. Interesting concept, it isn’t mine though.

You sound angry because there are multiple point of views for a thing and I don’t agree with your pov. I think i get the gist of your reply. But without arguments this discussion is bound to go nowhere.

You say I’m wrong by using adblocking. You didn’t tell why.

• depriving content creators of their revenue. Yes. One should think about supporting them through donation platforms like Patreon. They get money from direct marketing (holy…) - I’m fine with that (no JavaScript, no tracking, I can skip ahead since I got the message the first time).
• depriving YouTube of the money they need to run their CDN. Partially. Bandwidth usage, maintenance costs. Should I mention that youtube sells/ licenses servers to ISPs… So they get paid by me, indirectly.
• TOS I didn’t sign anything, there is no contract between me and YouTube. Or is there one?

Edit: this is not about me wanting you to take my view or wanting to be convinced by you. You may disagree or even despise me. That’s fine.
Everyone has to decide for himself what’s right and wrong and life with it. And maybe I have to rethink my decisions if there are aspects I didn’t take into account or if I lied to me to justify my decisions.

Umm… Maybe. Let’s take a look.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/267606/quarterly-revenue-of-google/:

In the first quarter of 2025, Google’s revenue amounted to over 89.52 billion U.S. dollars, up from the 79.97 billion U.S. dollars registered in the same quarter a year prior.

… They’ll survive.

I guess the content creators take the hit when users block ads or refuse to use premium.

Edit: your addendum is false. Technically YouTube freely delivers (answers http gets and posts), the user just refuses to watch all of their content or take part in the tracking. No broken windows or climbed fences.

Interesting idea. I would buy one.

Armed with fresh funding, IXI is now planning to ramp up R&D, expand its team of 50 people, and move into a new headquarters with a purpose-built lab and clean room facilities. The company plans to hold the first live demos of its glasses later this year.

But maybe I shouldn’t hold my breath, yet.

That’s good and all. But we should go deeper.

For instance, what’s the conversion factor to planck lengths per unperturbed ground-state hyperfine transition of the caesium 133 atom (second) or maybe even per Planck time unit?

At least you can choose not to use their services.

I guess a smart phone would be a luxury item in NK. So one could chose not to use one instead of being tracked?

In Germany the government and police use the word Quellentelekommunikationsüberwachung (telecommunication source surveillance) when they express their desire to have a Trojan on someone’s phone - to protect the children of course.

So the phenomenon is not unknown outside of NK.

Edit: fixed translation, thanks Muehe

Damn. Another rabbit hole to dive into. Thanks… I guess. :)

The lua queries look promising.

Not so fast! The judgment isn’t final yet. Plus some trials are still pending. Also the CEO seems to be too sick for trial.

To be fair. There are trials. It is not great but it could be worse. Imagine people could be deported and sent to prison for alleged crimes. Or so…

Yes. Light receptors maybe, but eyes…

source

… and light-sensing organs called ocelli, which can sense the presence and absence of light. Additionally, some jellyfish have sensory structures called rhopalia, which contain receptors to detect light, chemicals and movement.

Oh wait! This is unexpected:

… One group of jellyfish, the cubozoan jellyfish, have complex eyes… with lenses, corneas and retinas in their rhopalia.

Huh. Wiki agrees:

box jellyfish are unique in the possession of true eyes, complete with retinas, corneas and lenses.[13] Their eyes are set in clusters at the ends of sensory structures called rhopalia

Whoa.

Good.
