    There is nothing better than Nextcloud for files, I was trying to use syncthing and seafile - both sucks in one way or another.

    Syncthing is a sync utility wich is different from a cloud service. They both have different purpose and are for different tasks. IMO as cloud service go, they all suck (nextcloud, seafile, owncloud) if you’re just looking for a simple and unbloated selfhosted cloud service.

    Also, I was using vikunja for tasks but it’s UI and UX… Well, strange and not eye-candy. I hope someday they’ll rewrite it.

    I find it’s UI and UX pretty good, I really like it ! But with the new editor update it fucked up the caldav integration with jtxBoard, but it’s in the backlog and he/they are already working on it !


  • I’m thinking of 2 3 issues here.

    Either your file had the propertie flag --forced-display-flag for the audio track 1 and this would force the audio 1 to play even if you changed the flag-default with mkvpropedit. In that case you have no other choice to remux your file with mkvmerge and change the flag to --forced-display-flag 1:no (if it’s the audio track 1) I have no idea why someome would force an audio track…

    Or you didn’t used the --edit track:s1 flag with the flag-default propertie, which uses mkvmerge under the hood. Reading through my notes there is a superuser.com link talking specifically about that, and how it could fuck up your tracks order if you don’t use the track flag.

    Edit: This is only true if your player is capable to select the audio based on the flag default or forced. Otherwise you have to remux the file and change the order of tracks with the --track-order flag with mkvmerge. This could be the case for Plex, you can probably find that info in the plex documentation !

    Edit2: Plex seems to use both but I would suspect plex or bad flags being the culprit here rather than mkvtools.

    That’s true. But it doesn’t take away the possibility to use them in a selfhosted environnement.

    Large enteprises like facebook and google still use them, but they have the backing to secure them safely.

    Also, there is always the possibilty to add all subdomains in one certificate which takes away the wildcard subdomains.

    Thanks for sharing, very cool stuff in there and great job ! Bookmarked !

    While reading through your reverse proxy concept post, I think this statement is wrong:

    As a sub-domain:
    - Cons: require additional certificates for HTTPS/SSL for each sub-domain
    

    There are actually wildcard SAN certificates where you can access all your subdomains with a single certificate: https://*.mydomain.com

    Or you can add all your subdomains in a single certificate.

    Great work and thanks for sharing !


  • Just chiming in, sorry for my bad english.

    Your comments are filling me with sadness and despair. You must be the kind of person who years ago warned about all this and most people just laught or called you some creepy tin-foilhat conspiracist. :/

    The internet is changing very fast and not for the good. It’s somehow comparable what’s going on everywhere in the world… Greedy oppressors who only care about themselves, while millions people are suffering…

    It feels somehow we have already lost…


    • The MIT and Apache licenses are permissive licenses that allow developers to use the licensed code in proprietary projects without having to disclose the source code.

    I understand that some projects needs these kind of license to protect their code, I get it. But this will most of the time shift the project to a closed proprietary/paid service over time… leaving the open source community with a strange feeling of being abused.

    It’s not always the case, but it happened in the past, leaving people to fork the project and strating over.

  • Sometimes, the less you say, the better. You have to manipulate them and do not worry about if it’s bad/wrong. In the corporate world, most are just greedy assholes who don’t care about who you are.

    Don’t ever lie on your resume, just make it glittery on how THEY want to see it, not how you feel about it.

    It’s a sad world we are living in right now, good luck don’t ever give up !
