On my Rpi4B I run syncthing 24/7. It acts as my sync hub. All other machines are connected to it.

The box on which the dns server runs will need a static internal IP address.

It doesn’t call home to makemkv so OP is played by this again, he/she won’t have this issue.

This feels like a paid advertisement ”review” to me. There is basically nothing negative or critical at all. No places to improve? Here is the most critical bit in the entire post:

If you use GNOME, you should definitely be giving Ghostty a try. To be completely fair, I did not dislike using it on my other KDE Plasma — based machine either, but it does not feel as “native” yet. One day it will, though…

Mmmmm 😕

That is something that a pihole can sort completely, no?

I took a quick look at your website. The projects look really interesting. But just fyi, you might consider putting the website description text through an English grammar checker.

Physical disc in a cd/dvd/bluray drive

A 1080p player does not require internet connectivity but 4K/UHD discs need to phone home in order to get decryption keys on a per disc basis. There is a lot of discussion about this in the MakeMKV forums if you want to do a deeper dive.

It does but I use makemkv for the Blu-ray decryption

MakeMKV handles my Blu-ray decryption for VLC

It tried to. I use an opnsense firewall which caught it. I copied my logs and submitted the domains to a popular dns blocklist and they’ve already been merged.

I’m all good. I really wasn’t asking for tech support. Just sharing something with the community. Don’t worry, Sony didn’t get my data.

Thanks for the helpful thoughts though.

VLC on a Linux laptop. You think my Blu-ray player has the ability to take screenshots?

It’s not a secret. They’re all on the Awesome Piracy Github page. The abbreviations are in parentheses next to the actual name.

Edit: for some reason you aren’t brought to the linked part of the page. Press enter again after the page is loaded and it should take you to the “Private Trackers” section.
