Are you asking about music, or audiobooks specifically? I haven't tinkered with audiobooks so am not sure if that's handled differently..
For music I've been using Jellyfin as the server. On Android have tried a bunch of different apps, substreamer and Symfonium are the better apps. But I also like Fintunes, Jellify, and Resonus.
It's mainly about the noise but the article does mention
The company said that it’s planning to expand its operations in the footprint in the area, but the city said that it hasn’t received any permit applications.
Haven't heard of torrent clients, or anything related to the bittorrent protocol, running on the Freenet network. They do have a list of their standard apps here https://freenet.org/apps/ , were you referring to some other app enabling bittorrent that isn't listed there?
To be fair I'm way out of the loop, last time I tried Freenet must have been 20-something years ago. Apparently its been forked at some point and now Hyphanet exists as well (https://www.hyphanet.org/). EDIT: Not forked exactly, but there are two versions of Freenet now as explained in the FAQ https://freenet.org/about/faq/#what-is-the-projects-history
The only reason I noticed is that back when I tried Freenet there was 1 file sharing app that people sort of used called Frost (https://jtcfrost.sourceforge.net/) I just looked it up and it still exists but seems to work for the Hyphanet version of Freenet, maybe not the baseline Freenet itself. It's not torrents but it exists if that's something you're interested in.
Also keep in mind unless things have drastically changed Freenet is SLOW, so file sharing is going to be SLOW. You've been warned :P
PS - Maybe check out I2P (https://i2p.net/), Torrents over I2P is a thing and more people should be using that IMO. You won't need a VPN nor need to worry about port forwarding anymore. Downside is that it's slower than regular torrents (but much, much faster than anything on Freenet). Another downside is that not enough people are using it so not a lot of seeds/peers.
I can't say what the issue is but if you're suspecting memory issues then you should definitely run drive diagnostics. Usually that means you want to install gsmartcontrol (the GUI version of smartctl) or smartctl directly via installing smartmontools.
With smartmontools installed you'd do something like this in the terminal (on Debian you usually need to run these with sudo, not sure about Fedora)
smartctl --scan (gives you a list of drives in your system)
smartctl -a /dev/your-drive (outputs SMART info on the drive, should give you an idea of current status)
and if your drive is supported you can also run tests, after testing run another smartctl -a to see if anything changes
smartctl -t short /dev/your-drive (short test usually takes 3-5 minutes)
smartctl -t long /dev/your-drive (long test, longer more thorough test with SSDs that usually means 30-90 minutes or so)
With SSDs you usually want to see how many reallocated blocks occurred vs reserve blocks being used up, depends on the drive and what info it provides.
EDIT: Should be able to do the same with gsmartcontrol if you prefer the GUI.
I'm guessing you're not on Android or iOS since Jellyfin has apps on those platforms - but you should be able to use any Subsonic/OpenSubsonic app once set up with the plugin.
Yes that sounds correct, the traffic would go through the host so if the host is on VPN then the VM should be on that as well when in NAT mode.
Haven't done that myself, maybe just do some testing to make sure that's working as expected e.g. could be worthwhile to test what happens when the VPN drops out on the host and see how the VM behaves in that scenario. I don't know how a kill switch would behave with that setup (or if you even need it, just mentioning).
Not sure how you had it set up in VirtualBox but I'm guessing you should just do the same thing since that's what you're used to.
The other comment is correct but if you need a slightly shorter version
Bridge networking = Pretend the VM is its own separate physical computer plugged into your network. It is receiving an IP address from your network router, it is doing DNS through the network router, etc. And the network router is able to direct incoming internet traffic directly to the VM if configured that way so you could do stuff like port forwarding to a specific open port in the VM if you choose.
NAT = The host system (your Linux computer) is pretending to be a virtual router for the VM, the VM is not doing any direct communication with the network router. The VM gets its IP address from the host computer (the virtual NAT router). Since the VM sits behind the host computer that means it's double-NAT'd, all internet traffic goes through the host first. It is not possible to configure an incoming port forward from the internet router directly to the VM.
Not sure what sort of isolation you're expecting but yes, QEMU + virt-manager will be a very similar experience to using virtualbox. Both offer the same sort of isolation so I don't think you'd run into any surprises.
In both managers the VM does usually have internet access by default via NAT switch on the host system but you could re-configure it to bridge networking if you wanted. You could probably get rid of the NIC entirely if you don't want it to have network access (haven't personally needed to do that but it should be doable).
You do need to do some extra configuration if you need to share files between the Linux host and the Windows VM but I suspect you don't want to do that if you're looking for isolation.
Maybe that's specific to UK? I've never had to upload ID at any of the general domain registrars but am not in the UK. Maybe you're looking for a registrar that doesn't do that for UK residents, specifically. (or you might need to use a VPN or something, dunno)
Privacy aside most people tend to buy a domain at the cheapest registrar (keeping in mind whether to renew at that registrar later or transfer out to a new one when the time comes). There are domain registrar sites people use for comparison, been a bit since I've needed to shop around but sites like https://tld-list.com/ can be helpful. You could try doing a lookup there and work your way down the list until you find one you like.
Or if you're really set on looking for a service that actually advertises no KYC then looking through this list may help https://kycnot.me/?categories=domains (njalla is one of the listed ones there as someone else mentioned).
Windows has an RDP server installed by default so any Linux RDP client will work (Remmina for example), just need to configure Windows to allow those incoming connections.
But RDP won't do screen-sharing, if you need that specifically look at installing a VNC server onto the Windows system, or look at stuff like Rustdesk.
if you need those connections to be more secure you'll want to look at adding VPN or SSH possibly.
For what it's worth Windows does sort of have a RDP screen sharing feature, I think it comes up as Quick Assist on Windows, but that works through Microsoft Account / servers and wouldn't do connections from Linux AFAIK.
I made the jump to OPNsense recently, ended up buying a Protecli to install it on and its been working great so far. For me it sort of made sense since I wanted to have a little purpose built fanless system with Intel NICs, and Coreboot and Console access via USB are nice bonuses too. My original thinking was to try running other services on the same hardware (using Proxmox maybe) but for now it just runs OPNsense and nothing else.. maybe it's better for the network firewall to just be the network firewall, it's the one thing I don't want to crash and have an outage with.
But you don't have to do that, pretty much any Intel/AMD based system with multiple Intel NICs should work with an OPNsense install. The other mini pc vendors will be a bit cheaper for sure, just be mindful of RAM and storage prices right now.
Same, I usually compare the net weight and amount of servings in a package vs the other brands nowadays.
There are definitely brands I stopped buying due to shrinkflation. A few times I've seen shrinkflated items on sale later and then do the math just to realize the price is still too stupid to buy even at sale price.
Sound normal for Windows, back when I was using Windows I usually had to whitelist torrent clients in Windows Defender otherwise the torrent client .exe would disappear randomly during a virus scan. It was always some sort of false positive.
Something like Disroot? Just about all the services they host are done with FOSS software. For email I think (?) they're using Nextcloud and RoundCube. In theory you could look for other providers that are using that software stack, there are paid service/hosting providers that provide Nextcloud hosting for example.
I lost interest in IVPN after they removed port forwarding functionality so it doesn't affect me but it is interesting you'd need to worry about the MTU size at all, wonder if that's due to their software or maybe specific VPN servers you're connecting to on their network have different MTU sizes.
Are you asking about music, or audiobooks specifically? I haven't tinkered with audiobooks so am not sure if that's handled differently..
For music I've been using Jellyfin as the server. On Android have tried a bunch of different apps, substreamer and Symfonium are the better apps. But I also like Fintunes, Jellify, and Resonus.
Fun fact: You can use most OpenSubsonic / Subsonic compatible apps with Jellyfin once you add the Subfin plugin (https://github.com/williamkray/subfin-plugin).

A bit misleading - This account should have enabled "Bot Account" in its Lemmy profile. Seems to be hiding its bot status (intentional or not).

Jelllyfin + Subfin (https://github.com/williamkray/subfin-plugin) works well, I've been using it with the OpenSubsonic Android apps listed in https://www.navidrome.org/apps/?platform=android&api=opensubsonic without issue. e.g. Substreamer, Tempus, Airdrome, etc. all work fine with Jellyfin + Subfin.
I'm guessing you're not on Android or iOS since Jellyfin has apps on those platforms - but you should be able to use any Subsonic/OpenSubsonic app once set up with the plugin.
Probably better for !reddit@lemmy.ml or !reddit@lemmy.world

At first I wasn't sure if they were suing the (now) dead guy from https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/07/lawsuit-grok-user-made-7k-child-sex-images-xai-only-reported-one-gang-rape-prompt/ but I think that one was in Wyoming per the legal docs. Grok has certainly been busy generating CSAM.

On VirusTotal only 2/67 Antivirus vendors flag it as anything
https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/07550782ba3349e895002dc8886ff266025e4b06efe4d6accdd56355879ee821/
That's the usual sign of a false positive, a real malware/virus issue would show up in pretty much all the main scans.
EDIT: Here's another scan, 0 antivirus vendors flagged in this one - Jotti is a much smaller site but you get the idea
