Doubts about Stremio
  • Thanks for the reply! Stremio-web does not seem to have a docker package, so I should install it outside of docker? (Or create a docker container myself, but I never tried)

    Also, I found [this project](Thanks for the reply! Stremio-web does not seem to have a docker package, so I should install it outside of docker? (Or create a docker container myself, but I never tried)

    Also, I found this project that bundles both together, but the stremio accounts are still managed by the stremio servers, and I'd like to be independent from them instead. I asked the developer and he said that I need to change stremio-web (see issue), but I can't find any configuration option in the readme.

    Sorry if my question seems confusing, but I'm pretty confused about this

  • Hello! My girlfriend bought a new pc, an HP pavilion x360 with the touchscreen, and asked me to install her kubuntu as in her previous non-tablet pc, and so I did. It works very well, except for the fact that I tried really hard without success to setup a virtual keyboard. fcitx5 was already installed, but I couldn't find a way to use it as virtual keyboard, and apparently it does not bundle a UI. i then installed maliit (the one that I use on my EndeavourOS 2in1 laptop flawlessly) but it seems to have a strange bug where it only works once, then after you close it it will never pop up again. I tried the workaround suggested here but it works once every 4 tries and the keyboard pops up but is unable to write anything.

    Has anyone achieved to install a virtual keyboard on Kubuntu 24.04? I'd rather not switch to X11 because except for the keyboard, the touch support is way better under wayland

    thanks in advance to anyone!

    Hello! on my home server I currently have jellyfin+arr suite installed, but I have often problems finding downloads, probably because of the torrent indexers I have access to. Because of this, I often find myself watching content on streaming websites because it has not been downloaded on the server.

    So I started to consider replacing jellyfin with stremio. I'd like, if possible, to self host it with docker. I tried to follow the instructions here, but I'm a bit confused: if I go to myserver:12470, it says "the connection was reset by the server", while if I go to myserver:11470 I'm just redirected to https://app.strem.io/shell-v4.4/?streamingServer=<myserverhere>.

    am I doing something wrong? I can't find any guide or similar on how to self host it, so I guess it's not something supported, but if it's the case then what's the point of the docker image? I'd like to be independent on the stremio server, it's the point of self-hosting it

    thanks in advance fellow sailors!

    HP Laptop drains battery while turned off
  • I'll try other kernels then, but I don't know how to check if the system is actually powered off or not without waiting 8 hours and checking the battery drain XD perhaps the halt could be the key

    thanks!! I'll update the thread if I'll discover something new

  • how do I check this? This is probably the source of the issue (see this comment), but I have no idea on what to do to understand the actual cause

    thanks for your time and help!

    HP Laptop drains battery while turned off
  • okay, I think we have some news: if I kill the pc by holding the power button, after a night the battery loses 0%! so I guess the problem is that it's not shutting down properly. I tried to sudo halt --poweroff and it drained the battery as usual. I then tried sudo halt -f and something strange happened: the screen immediately turned off, but the red LED on the volume key indicating that the volume is muted stayed on, so the pc wasn't completely off. what could be the problem? and why does this happen only when I force the halt? could it be a kernel issue?

    thanks for the help and for your time!!!

  • I'll try it as soon as I can, thanks for the suggestion! I don't think the battery is dying, because while powered on the battery life is very good

  • Probably there are problems with the report to the OS because the battery health is marked as 100%, which is a bit strange for a 4yo pc. Do you think this may have something to do with the battery drain?

  • The battery health is marked as 100%, which seems strange to me. However, the battery life while powered on is very good, so I don't think the battery is old or exhausted. Do you think that changing the battery may be the solution?

  • Hello! My girlfriend's HP laptop running kubuntu 24.04 has this problem: when it's turned off (either from the GUI or poweroff) it discharges overnight, from 100% to 0% in a few days.

    I searched the web to look for fixes:

    • wake on lan is disabled in the BIOS
    • USB ports have no settings in the bios, but there's nothing connected to them anyway
    • the system is actually powered off, not sleeping (at least if poweroff actually works)
    • everything, firmware included, is up to date

    She doesn't remember having this problem from the beginning, but cannot tell when this started occurring

    Did any of you ever encounter this problem? I don't know what else to do, and it's quite annoying.

    Thank you for your time!

    Hello! I have jellyfin+qbittorrent+radarr on my home server, but I can't make it work with hardlinks. When a download finishes, it just copies it to the /movie folder, doubling the disk space. at least, I think that it's just a copy, because the disk space is double and find ./downloads -samefile ./movies/path/to/file.mkv returns no result, meaning if I understand correctly that file.mkv is not hardlinked to any file in the download folder (but it should).

    this is the docker compose: yml radarr: image: lscr.io/linuxserver/radarr:latest container_name: radarr network_mode: container:gluetun environment: - PUID=1000 - PGID=1000 - TZ=Europe/Rome volumes: - ./radarr-config:/config - /media/HDD1/movies:/movies - /media/HDD1/downloads:/downloads restart: unless-stopped HDD1 hard drive is formatted ext4, that supports hardlinks (in fact I can create them manually), and in the radarr settings the checkbox "use hardlinks instead of copy" is checked.

    Ideally I'd prefer softlinks instead of hadlinks, but I don't think there's a way to do it natively, I think I'd need an external script

    Any tips? Thanks in advance!

    Hello! I was wondering if running periodically a script to automatically pull new images for all my containers is a good or a bad idea. I'd run it everyday at 5.00AM to avoid interruptions. Any tips?

    EDIT: Thanks to everyone for the help! I'll install Watchtower to manage the updates

    Hello! My disk space was out of space left, so I decided to remove some snapper snapshot. snapper list listed over 360 snapshots. I removed them, and freed 50Gb of space. One of these hasn't been deleted successfully: Cannot delete snapshot 166 since it is the next to be mounted snapshot. it's description is writable copy of #156. How can I remove it? should I do it using btrfs subvolume delete?

    here's the output of sudo btrfs subvolume list -t /: ID gen top level path -- --- --------- ---- 256 178487 5 timeshift-btrfs/snapshots/2023-09-18_18-25-33/@ 257 341688 5 @home 258 341680 5 @cache 259 341688 5 @log 260 26 256 timeshift-btrfs/snapshots/2023-09-18_18-25-33/@/var/lib/portables 261 27 256 timeshift-btrfs/snapshots/2023-09-18_18-25-33/@/var/lib/machines 708 341688 5 @ 710 341680 708 .snapshots 2781 178991 5 timeshift-btrfs/snapshots/2024-05-07_12-20-43/@ 2968 326034 710 .snapshots/166/snapshot 2969 341679 710 .snapshots/167/snapshot

    all those timeshift subvolumes are there because before snapper, I used to use timeshift. I tried to remove them: sudo btrfs subvolume delete timeshift-btrfs/snapshots/2023-09-18_18-25-33/@/var/lib/machines ERROR: Could not statfs: No such file or directory

    If I understand correctly, it means that I should give an actual "system" path instead of the path in the table, but I don't understand which path

    thanks in advance to everyone!

    Hello! I have a problem: sometimes I instinctively refer to a movie by the English name (for example, Star Wars), but if I search for it in jellyfin it is not found, as the italian translated name is "Guerre Stellari". I'd like to be able to search for it with both the original name and the translated name. The original name is present in the metadata, it just isn't used as a search parameter. Is there a way?

    ------- EDIT: I understood the problem: i'm stupid

    Star wars episode IV had both the translated and the original title, and was correctly find when searching "star wars", but episode V and VI didn't have the string "star wars" in the original title! and this is why jellyfin didn't find them. I edited the metadata and added it, now it works perfectly. Thanks to everyone!

    Hello guys! sometimes I watch movies with friends over jitsi meet, and in order to share just a single window with just its own audio I use chromium, that has the "share tab" option. However, I'd like a more general solution (I cannot play mkv files on browser, for example). I'd like a compact way that creates a virtual device sharing the window (even if the window gets minimized or hidden behind other windows!) and its audio, without the audio of all other windows (I don't want my notification sounds to be shared too). a quick online search gave me only "complex" answers, that I'll try only if a more convenient way is not available.

    [I'm running EndeavourOS KDE Wayland]

    Thank to everyone in advance!

    Hello fellow selfhosters! I have a laptop and a tablet (both running endeavourOS), and I want a certain folder to be always in sync. I also have a very potato server. My two options currently are Nextcloud and Syncthing. The laptop and the tablet are rarely online at the same time, so I need the server as middleman (so, no syncthing laptop <-> tablet, but laptop <-> server <-> tablet).

    Which one do you recommend? The power consumption (of the client) is also very important, because both the laptop and the tablet are battery-powered

    I'm also open to other options as well!

    thanks in advance to everyone!

    --------- Edit: thanks to everyone for your precious help! I finally set up syncthing and it's working flawlessly!

    Hello! In qalc I can do calculations using measuring units like this: ``` > 5 W * 3 s

    (5 watts) × (3 seconds) = 15 J ```

    I'd like to be able to do something similar also in GNU Octave. I think the symbolic library could be a place to look at, but I found nothing "already done". Do any of you know of a way to achieve this functionality?

    Hello! I'll try to explain what I'm looking for: I sometimes have to write simple web pages (not just text, also buttons and video players and so on), but I really really hate writing html code. What I'm used to is QML, which I like a lot, because of the ease of placing objects exactly where I need using the anchors and the Layout objects. What I'm looking for is a language or something with a similar syntax, that can then be "built" to plain HTML/CSS/JS. Is there something like this? I know I can compile Qt/QML for webassembly, but I'm having huge amounts of problems, and also I'd like to have the possibility to have a plain HTML result, not necessary bind to the server side.

    thanks in advance!!

    Hello! I'd like to follow some niche meme pages on instagram with my RSS reader app (feeder), and found out about RSSHub that seems exactly what I need. However, I tried using some of the public instances and except for the first time after requesting an RSS feed, it got rate limited and completely blocked. Does self hosting it solve the problem? Is any of you using it reliably?

    Hello! Today I learned about the existence of LibreY, and the project seems very interesting. I was wondering, how does it compare with SearXNG? which one is easier to self host, and which one is lighter on resource usage? Which one gets rate-limited less? I'm particolary interested in opinions of people who used both

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello fellow pirates! I'm tired of having all the telegram premium ads and antifeatures in the client and I'm looking for a client that removed them even if it's against the TOS. Any tips? I'd rather use an actual open source fork than a cracked version of the original

    I'm looking for both Android and Desktop (Linux)

    What I want is to remove the hateful ads in the channels and the "buy premium to unlock these emojis", and also to be able to arrange the folders in whatever order I like, without being forced to keep the "All messages" as first

    thanks in advance!

    Hello! I just came across Presearch, and it looks very interesting to me. If I understand correctly, at the moment it's just another metasearch engine, but they say they're planning to add their own index. How would a distributed search engine index work? Opinions on this?

    Hello! I know this is probably not piracy, but I think that this community is the best one to ask this. I'd like to stream live TV on my jellyfin server, and in the future perhaps try to implement a way to silence the audio during ads, but I want to start a step at a time: Before going in jellyfin, let's try with VLC that is easier. The live stream I'm trying to stream is taken from raiplay, the official website of RAI, the main italian tv station. I ignorantly just downloaded all the 4 .m3u8 files with this extension and, one at a time, I tried to open them with VLC, but all I obtained was VLC loading forever. What's going on? did I missed something important?

    [if you know of better ways to do this, any recommendation is welcome!]

    thanks in advance!

    Hello everybody! I just learned that I can get a free .eu.org domain, but I'm not sure I understand the domain creation process. Any of you has one?

    Hello! I'm still not satisfied with my note taking app. I tried dozen of them, read tons of lists on random blogs on the internet, without any success. I'll try to ask you then.

    I'm looking for a note taking app with just this 3 features:

    • richtext/WYSIWYG (i don't want to write plain text and then press a button to see it rendered)
    • it has to support CHECKBOXES! Most of the apps I tried does not support them, or supported them only if all the note was a checklist. I don't want a checklist, I want a note where I can put some checkbox inside!
    • FOSS and active

    The one I'm currently using is obsidian, but it's not FOSS and it feels very overcomplicated for a simple note apps.

    Any suggestion is welcome!

    EDIT: forgot to mention, I'm talking about Android XD
