TIL. Nice

Darn thats High-Res. Nice!

Try

(First one is better.) To get .nzb files. Then use a Usenet Access Provider. Those save all files shared via usenet over a predefined time period. – though some archive different usenet publications than others. Simply differs by what servers they connect to afaik.

Not entirely sure on the architectural work here but thats the best you’ll get from me in a minuite.

Search for diffetent providers. Check the link for them. Maybe the available payment methods might be worth a look.

Eweka supports paypal i think, but not sure on this one.

For automation you will need an api access to the sites from the bulletpoints above – the free access gives very limited access via api. Which is why automation tools fail on a free account to automatically download new episodes .nzb files from them.

Usenet for german stuff. Forget about torrents when searching in german.

You go DDL or Usenet. DDL is goof in terms of stuff available but bad in terms of automation.

Usenet is good in both.

Use this to get yourself familiar:

Currently I simply dont.

On Xenn you should be capable with the correct drivers to put a couple of virtual GPU Profiles on your VMs to use.

On Hyper-V there is a command out there, but I don’t know if its a dedicated access or if you are capable of sharing it across multiple instances.

On Proxmox though? Not sure but i think it was possible to forward it to a VM but thats all. Just dedicated acces afaik.

Found in here on the linked pages down in the list. https://wiki.dbzer0.com/piracy/megathread/

Didnt take that much time to search. Maybe the megathread itself also has some additional pages about the usenet.

Well not so much the adress of the AD server.

It should be the domain name of your domain that you have created.

As in [email protected]

The part behind the @ is the domain the user is registered to and even though the AD server might be named prod-ad-001 the text should be the domain you are trying to auth towards and the share you are accessing to should obvioisly have a connection the the AD to forward the credentials and ask if Auth is positive.

In FSTAB:

//192.168.188.52/media /home/shareuser/shared/ cifs vers=3.0,credentials=/home/shareuser/.smbcred,uid=1000,gid=1000,iocharset=utf8 0 0

In .smbcred are the credentials. The content of the file:

username=shareuser
password=shicjwvfiak                        domain=192.168.188.52

Should work.

Instead of the IP put the FQDN of your Share holding Server and make sure DNS is properly working.

Windows 10 21H2 LTSC recieves support until 2027 December.

Nah, probably not. All routers you can buy today will route and by default have their firewall active. Make sure, auto-updates are activated on your router.

Check your server OS’ses and the Software running on them for updates on a regular basis - since they are partially made available to the public and are potential attack vectors.

Though if you only port-forwarded a couple ports that dont include the RDP port or something wildly stupid, you should be safe.

Follow some best practises as:

• try to dont run your Gameserver Software as administrator but instead with a account with as low privileges as possible.
• update your OS’ses, Softwares and Router/FW Appliance.

Don’t let yourself fool by the guys telling ya to setup a full fledged firewall system when you obviously don’t even know basic networking. You would be overwhelmed by the configurationpossibilities.

If you want to dangle your foot in some cold water - try em out and put some machines behind them to learn what behaves how. But dont make em your only protection against the public internet when you don’t know basic networking stuff.

Happy Sailin’ matey!

Just checking in to say thanks for asking that question. Always had that same question as a fellow sysadmin :D

Now since i see all those ideas: hell yes. I will reach out to the maintainers of the next project that I find that could use some support and offer them my support :D

Could you install a basic secondary graphics card and fully forward it to the VM? That should make you capable of using its HDMI Ports - and this way you should also have no HDMI DRM Bullshit errors from apps like Netflix and Disney.
