You'll never guess what was the first post in my timeline today

Few months ago I read a blog post (I'll link it if I find it, really well written) explaining how running those 'curl ... | sh' installation commands is more dangerous than we think I mean, even opening the script's URL in the browser to check it out first is unsafe, it's fairly simple to create a server that shows you a legit script when seen in the browser and a malicious one when fetched with curl So today I came out with this stupid simple script to help make this process safe a little easier. It's called shelp, and all you do is replace sh, bash, fish, etc. with shelp, bashelp, fishelp... The script will then show you the program you're about to execute, then ask you if you actually want to run it It's a very small and stupid bash script but I guess it can be useful for some people

@kap@social.sunet.uk do you wear underwear

I'll take that into consideration

@TheZupZup@mastodon.social A few other things:

• I'm listening to #darksideofthemoon, an album that's mostly enjoyed without breaks between tracks. Even if I saved them all for offline play, Linthra causes a very small delay between tracks, if you could make it more seamless it'd be amazing
• In my setup, I'm using Yubal (https://github.com/guillevc/yubal) to download tracks to my Navidrome server. You basically paste a YTM URL and it downloads the playlist or track with yt-dlp, then organizes it with beets. It has a browser extension too that quickly allows you to start a download job from a YTM page, so I assume it has an API. It would be really cool to integrate it in the app, e.g., by having a section that simply allows to paste a YTM URL and sends the download to a configured Yubal instance, maybe showing the progress too. Shouldn't be too much of a challenge I think, and it would be a great addition for users like me that rely on it. Still, it's is a pretty personal request to be fair
• I know it's an early beta and it's not the main concern, but some theming or customization options would be cool in the future
• Home screen widget when?? (Again, cool idea to implement in the future)
• Is it cool if I keep posting these requests and bug findings here or is there a better place for me to do so? Lol

Expect a LOT of requests from me 😂

@TheZupZup@mastodon.social I finally managed to configure my Navidrome instance and were able to give Linthra a try from F-Droid I have to say, not bad at all, I'm using it as I type One bug (possibly?) that I noticed is that it didn't fetch the album/tracks' covers from my Navidrome, it shows the default track image, no idea whether it's a configuration or even connection issue on my end (I'm on a poor connection rn), but it's been a while and even after a sync and app restart it didn't show anything Also, another feature I think that's missing is being able to select multiple tracks and perform actions on them, e.g., download them all at once For the rest, it's pretty cool, I think I'll stick around and use this for my new Navidrome setup, keep up the work!

@fox@social.hostnetwork.xyz @mcaputo@social.sunet.uk I literally sorted domains on cloudflare with "price (low to high)", .uk was the first option

@fox@social.hostnetwork.xyz @mcaputo@social.sunet.uk nahh man sunet.win is crazy And my corpo cocksucker friend @mcaputo@social.sunet.uk wanted Cloudflare so

@fox@social.hostnetwork.xyz @mcaputo@social.sunet.uk Contabo

@fox@social.hostnetwork.xyz @mcaputo@social.sunet.uk cool, more general purpose Still, I wish I didn't have to use it at all 😭 Mf @mcaputo@social.sunet.uk got a free static IP from their ISP and not even my VPS provider is giving me one brother

@fox@social.hostnetwork.xyz @mcaputo@social.sunet.uk no, there is an (unofficial) Docker container that uses Cloudflare's API to update the DNS: https://github.com/favonia/cloudflare-ddns If I remember correctly though there is an official page in Cloudflare's docs talking about setting up DDNS with them and it mentions a few project like ddclient and this one I believe

@fox@social.hostnetwork.xyz @mcaputo@social.sunet.uk Trust me, get a VPS with dynamic IP and you'll get suicidal 😭 I have a Cloudflare DDNS too (for the above reason), I was mostly referring to dedicated DDNS services like DuckDNS The selfhosted DDNS works but you cannot say that it is better than having a Dynamic IP straight up

@fox@social.hostnetwork.xyz @mcaputo@social.sunet.uk the DDNS way isn't a dumb idea, it's actually great if you can't get a static IP. I personally used DuckDNS for a long time for my homeserver. The problem with it is you have to rely on an external service for your server. I personally was locked out of my server more than once due to DuckDNS outages. Don't get me wrong, it's an amazing free service, and it's normal for it to have outages. The point is, in my opinion, if you have the chance to get a static IP, than that's 100 times better than any DDNS/Tunnels setup you can have. These setups are workarounds for dynamic IPs or closed NATs. You don't rely on any external service. Anyways, it's a Cloudflare Proxy hater that's talking here, so it's veru subjective, but I'm pretty sure a static IP + port opening + regular DNS is way better than any DDNS or Tunnel service up there.

Fortune quote of the day

Don't confuse yourselves, our instance ends in .uk because it was cheaper. We are not br*tish. @mcaputo@social.sunet.uk
