Honestly, I found it really easy. I don’t have a background in IT or anything either.

What did you find difficult? Setting custom firewall rules is harder to understand, but the general functionality of setting up a NAT and even installing and configuring ZenArmor were super super easy.

OPNSense is generally pretty easy, more powerful, and more open than pfsense. I started with pf but went to OPNSense and have loved it!

Are you sure that docker is configured properly? What do you see if you do docker ps

That won’t keep it constantly in sync though

Okay, just clarifying that you don’t mean the Beeper server, you mean the beeper desktop/mobile client. You can self host something identical to the server and use a the client that Beeper’s client is based off of, which is very similar.

Self-hosting may become even more like using Beeper’s server and client soon, as I expect they will not continue development on the old android app and just work on the one currently in beta. The beta app feels pretty similar to element to me, so I’ll likely self host when they do that.

Yeah I tested it out. The feature in ARD that I am referring to is that you can do any of the main functions (observe the screen, copy a file, install a file, run a terminal command, shut down, etc) to any number of computers at the same time. You just shift click command click to select multiple computers and then press the button associated with that function. That you can’t do is control multiple computers at the same time, since that wouldn’t really be practical, but you can observe all of their screens and then double click on one of them to start controlling it.

Really the most useful thing here is the ability to send an arbitrary terminal command to multiple computers at the same time, which you can’t do in Remmina.

Technically this exists, right? It’s just matrix with a bunch of bridges?

The app is closed source, deprived from element.

Does remmina let you send an ssh command to multiple computers at once? I use ARD for that almost exclusively.

Apple Remote Desktop. Batch control of computers through SSH and VNC would be amazing.

Can you ping the two devices private IP’s from each other though? That narrows down where the issue is.

Can you ping the tablet from the device running searx, or the device running searx from your tablet? Termux is a good app to test.

What device are you trying to access it on? The same device?

Ahh got it. My search history says I read the follow up, but not the initial article.

That’s ridiculous and unsettling, especially that they claimed it wasn’t possible initially. I wonder if they were not aware that it was possible or whether they were lying. I’m not sure which one is worse.

I have a eufy doorbell cam, and I’m genuinely very happy with it. Since it’s not actually looking into my home I’m less concerned about this particular security issue. I hope they do better moving forward.

Is your local IP a private, or public IP?

Does it start with 192, for example?

How are you determining your local IP?

Why not?

I absolutely did! I was really hoping to teach a class about audio at a nearby university, but was told last minute that they can’t give it to me for bureaucratic reasons. It’s my dream to teach someday so I’m hopeful that I will find another University that will let me teach

I work in audio and had a thesis in DSP, so I’ll try to explain this. It is an interesting idea, and in some cases could work, but wouldn’t be practically useful in most.

So there’s 2 types of audio encoding: Lossy and Lossless. All audio starts as lossless, and in many cases is converted to lossy to reduce the file size. The processing for this is NOT like compression, and is somewhat context aware in that it removes frequencies you wouldn’t hear because something else is more present and causing your ear not to really hear it (this is called masking).

If you were to upscale something that is lossless, it would probably work. Barring any inter sample peaks, you’d be inferring additional points in a waveform and that’s fine. They’re actually some audio plugins that do this as an intermediate step when processing a signal.

If you try to upscale something that is lossy, you can’t recreate what was removed, because there isn’t a way to infer that information anymore. It would be like if you were trying to upscale a photo but you’d already removed a dog that was somewhat obscured by a man’s hand. Even if you upscale the picture you can’t add the dog without somebody telling you that it was there before removal.

The other part of the equation is “why?”, and while I’m a bit of an audiophile and I have my collection of lossless audio, the limitations of the system are typically the human ear. CD quality, (16-bit at 44.1 Khz), is really all you’d ever need. Most people can’t hear above 20 kilohertz (if you’re over 18, you’re lucky if you even get close to that). In digital audio, you can reproduce any frequency in equal to or less than half of the sample rate. With 44.1Khz, that frequency is 20,050hz. If you want to go really crazy, DVD quality (24 bit at 48Khz). I consider anything about that nice to have from a archival and measurement standpoint, but there’s no point in terms of human listening.

I have thought about that, the issue is I’d need to re-run all but 1 of my Ethernet cables to a place where I can put the Celeron box. Once I start messing around with VLANs this is probably what I’ll do, but it’s going to be a big project.

I’m definitely going to give Adguard Home a shot.

Any thoughts on the best solution for now, basically putting the firewall in between the router and modem? If I plug it into a LAN port on the router and set up DHCP so it is the new gateway, that should work, right? I really wish I could plug it into the WAN port but I don’t think DHCP will traverse the WAN to LAN ports on the router.

What are the bitrates, codec, and containers of those 2 files?

Ahh, didn’t see which community this was posted in. You’re right, not foss
