Why do you want to use Shouko? Yeah it can bulk-tag anime but it doesn’t necessarily do a better job than Jellyfin with AniDB plugin. Also, it tends to hammer their API like an idiot and will get your user temp-banned or even perma-banned (depending on the size of your collection), while the Jellyfin plugin has rate limits.

I used it once when I was moving my collection to Jellyfin and I barely got my account back.

I would strongly suggest using just the regular Jellyfin plugins and adding titles to the directory in small batches and taking breaks if it stops recognizing them because it means the API is throttling you.

Alright, have fun with that. 🙂

If you mean to do that in the public DNS records please note that public records that point at private IPs are often filtered by ISP’s DNS servers because they can be used in web attacks.

If you don’t use your ISP’s DNS as upstream, and the servers you use don’t do this filtering, and you don’t care about the attacks, carry on. But if you use multiple devices or have multiple users (with multiple devices each) eventually that domain will be blocked for some of them.

Generally speaking, a subdomain like jellyfin.myhome.com will work out much better than a subpath like myhome.com/jellyfin.

Very few web apps can deal well (or at all) with being used under a subpath.

I can’t give specifics because it will depend on the version you play and also it’s been a while and I don’t remember all mods by heart. So it’s just gonna be suggestions; in no particular order:

• First of all you’ll need the fundamental bug fixes. There’s (still) lots of bugs in vanilla Skyrim.
• You will need the new improved menus, most mods rely on them.
• Personally I can’t play without improving the aspect of PC and NPCs, so improvements to bodies, faces and hair are a must for me. If you get down the rabbit hole there’s things like mustaches, beards, tattoos, eyes etc.
• Armor and weapons is a close second for good looking stuff.
• You will want a mod that improves polygons as well as something that enhances vegetation, skyboxes, water and weather.
• There are mods that fill the cities and villages with a lot more… stuff. Things like decorative vegetation, benches etc. You will not be able to play without it once you’ve tried it.
• The skill trees and the professions all need specific mods that apply balances and fixes. You can also go one step further and apply mods that actually make them interesting.
• If you can find one for your version of Skyrim, I strongly recommend a mod that improves dragon AI and makes the fights actually challenging. It always seemed ridiculous to me how easy they are by default.
• Better horses is a good idea, lots of convenience there.
• Smithing improvements. Nuff said.
• Personally I can’t stand the default fighting in all aspects of it. I must have didn’t roll and some extra brains for the enemies. Some mods the spruce up the dungeons aren’t bad either.
• You can get lots of extra quests and NPCs with Interesting NPCs.
• I typically avoid shaders and ENBs in favor of simpler mods that let you adjust the game colors (contrast, saturation etc.) They have very low impact on performance and give you that color jolt that’s 90% of why people use ENBs anyway.

On an even more personal note, I like to play like a classic RPG. I get mods that allow multiple companions and interesting NPCs and when I met somebody interesting I take them into my party. There are also mods that let you order them better, you can adjust their flags to set what armor and weapons they prefer, how they level up, and whether they have “plot armor” so they can die for reals. I usually end the game with a party of 4-6 people and it’s a blast. But you may want to adjust the difficulty accordingly as you go out you will start rolling everything.

Another very interesting approach I’ve tried a couple of times is mods that remove all identification clues (no town names, no directions, maximum map fog of war) and start you in some random point of the map. Add some difficulty mods so you have to be really careful who you meet, perhaps some survival mods, and it’s a real blast. You can also use rogue rules and restart when you die (and not save scum).

• What does “authentication” mean if there’s no server?
• How do browsers behind NAT connect to each other?
• How does it verify that the other chat partner is who they say they are?
• Why use this and not Simplex?

I wonder if it works with a joystick…

Contact support and tell them how many you need and they’ll try to accommodate you. There were a lot of people abusing the service and hosting hundreds of domains so now they’re making everybody request them explicitly unfortunately. They’ve also had to suspend their .dedyn.io DDNS service indefinitely because of the abuse.

That’s why we can’t have nice things.

Please read up on DNSSEC because you will be required to turn it on for every domain you host with them.

I’m not seeing bunny.net on that list, it has a DNS service with API. They have a minimum account maintenance fee of $1/mo and when you load up your account you have to load a minimum of $10. So basically it’s $1/mo for which you get a lot of DNS and CDN service included (20M DNS queries and 100GB transfer).

That’s how Amazon works.

If you think all the stores in the internet now are PWA’s you are sadly mistaken. MVC web apps are pretty well suited for things like shops and they never went away. There are entire languages and frameworks like PHP, Python, Java that actively support that style of app. It also lends itself really well to caching.

I wouldn’t say it’s completely JavaScript free though. Client side JS is still extremely useful and attempting to make a store with zero JS might be a bit tough.

There are tons of CDNs out there.

Both your ISP and CF will drop you like a hot potato if you’re ever under that kind of attack.

CF has other features that are nice like, like WAF, bot detection, geo blocking, caching etc. But it’s only a taste.

All their real services are paid and the whole reason they offer a free tier is to upsell you to their paid services.

It’s not the only free DNS service.

It’s only a good registrar if you don’t care about privacy and you’re ok with their selection of TLDs (selected only from registries without privacy).

The free accounts do not benefit from DDoS protection. Re-read their terms of service, they’re vague on purpose. If you were ever DDoS’ed (I don’t know who would bother btw but that’s another discussion) they’d just drop you.

You can establish the tunneling thing on your own with any VPS.

The problem with cloudflare is that we’re missing three other cloudflares to move to if they decide to pull evil shit.

You can and should diversify your services and spread them to different providers that are easy to switch. I’ve been with “all in one” providers before, they inevitably end up leveraging their convenience into all sorts of crap. But until you get burned a couple of times they look really good.

polito.it may not be the best example because its A records point at private IPs (192.168.x.x). Such records are often filtered by ISP DNS servers because they are used in certain kinds of attacks.

Double check your results using DNSChecker.

Edit: also, using just dig will not resolve all possible records related to a domain. I use a script that asks dig explicitly for a variety of record types:

#!/bin/bash
echo "SOA NS A AAAA MX CNAME TXT SRV DNSKEY"|\
xargs -n1 dig +noall +answer +nocrypto "$@"|\
sort -u -k4

What do the Unbound logs say?

What upstream servers are you using?

not depend on Google/Adblock/Whatever upstream DNS server

I mean, you’re gonna have to get your DNS information somewhere. You can choose and pick your upstream but you still need one. You can cache the DNS info but you will still need to refresh it eventually. You can use a DoT or DoH upstream server so your ISP cannot spy on your DNS traffic but, again, you still need an upstream.

Direct debit transactions are done by companies not by the customer. They’re used for allowing utility companies to pull the monthly bill automatically from the subscriber’s account.

the phone shop must arrange that with a bank and does not have the option of taking on risk

That’s correct, any and all loans go through a bank. But please note that the bank won’t advise if it’s a bad loan, for example a ridiculously overpriced phone and/or phone plan. They just check if you can afford the monthly payment.

I heard SWIFT/IBAN transfers were permanent

These were card payments not transfers. Any payment done with a card, whether online or at a POS machine, can be reversed. And yes it was done for free in both cases.

Over here it’s not necessary for a person to restrict access because access to the credit records is restricted to banks, allowed only when a bank is asked by you explicitly for a credit, and all loans must be done only by banks. So it’s basically impossible for anybody to access it outside very specific circumstances initiated by you.

I’m many EU countries there is a state-run Credit Bureau of sorts that keeps track of each citizen’s debt.

The debt data is only available to banks and usually reduced only to the answer to the question “can this person be allowed to take on this credit”. So not what their running debt is but only whether they can take on a new, specific one.

The rules for determining that vary from state to state but generally it’s related to the person’s income and not allowing their credit payments to drop that income below what’s considered viable. Some states may use a percentage on top of that.

For context, most people in EU do not usually use credit in day to day life, only debit.

They tend to resort to credit for large purchases, the most common being a house/apartment or a car. Some stores may offer the ability to resort to credit for things like home appliances (refrigerators, AC, washing machines/driers etc.) that can put a strain on a person’s finances. Some may even offer it for more trivial purchases. These deals go through a bank as well and become a rate that you have to repay monthly. It is not related to a credit card.

There are other types of credit that are related to cards and resemble what you are familiar with in the US — ability to spend above the money you actually have and some perks on top of that. But they still work like a regular credit, they are done by banks, they are recorded at the Credit Bureau, they count towards your total indebted ability etc.

In the US people also use credit card purchases add a form of shopper assurance. In the EU this is done by the state. The entire EU has strong consumer rights in the law and there are state run national and regional consumer bureaus that will take complaints, investigate and fine the company. The law is very consumer friendly and puts the burden of responsibility on the company/bank in the case of unauthorized/unproven purchases.

You can reverse payments through the bank in the EU as well but it’s seldom necessary, since the companies tend to revert the charge willingly when confronted by the consumer protection bureaus.

I’ve only had to resort to bank reverse a couple if times.

One was when I ordered a pair of shoes of what appeared to be an Italian website. It later turned out it was a scam site that listed popular models that were not made anymore and then sent you a ridiculously poorly made knock-off copy from China. I explained the issue to my bank and showed the knockoffs I got and a week or so later the charge was reversed.

The second was while vacationing in another EU country, I started getting the same amount withdrawn (about €50) from the card each day by an entity in the country I was visiting. No idea if it was a scam or some sort of automated payment gone wrong. I blocked the card and contested the charges and they were reversed.
