I have also heard that you can bind your hypothetical torrent client to your hypothetical VPN network interface meaning it would be unable to even send out any data if the VPN was not connected.

Or in the case of docker use a prepackaged VPN+Torrent container or pipe all container network traffic through a VPN container like gluetun

I think there was a specific app for google TV which I used. My main problem was probably the lack of a wired connection since the Chromecast doesn’t have an ethernet port

Some cars that have this literally tell you to get it serviced by the manufacturer :/ In my limited experience, that’s mostly cars after built after 2010. Mine (Skoda Fabia 2) only shows a little wrench in the display which I can simply tell to go away.

Meanwhile I can’t even use steam in-home streaming to my chromecast because the artifacts and input lag is too bad to use.

Maybe he means the automatic service interval that pops up on a lot of cars? I personally treat that one as more of a reminder to check the oil and tire pressure

Definitely this. There are so many minor things regarding formatting or how something you wrote may sound off to someone else that you generally won’t know or notice wirhout an outside perspective

Huh, guess I was wrong. I was pretty sure the text part alone was that much

The lack of a good server-side managament software for ebooks keeps astonishing me. I check back ever so often but the recommendations are always the same. It’s either calibre-web, calibre with library on a network share or Kavita.

I’ve seen that audiobookshelf and jellyfin can apparently also handle books but I don’t know how well the support is implemented.

Because I have a very peculiar way of organizing my book collection I need a utility which can export to a specific folder structure and file naming scheme and ideally allows exporting the entire library at once.

wuthout the images obviously

What about NAS systems? I don’t recall seeing any for 10" before

I believe DVDs do have DRM actually but it has been broken so long ago as to be a non-issue

Actually ignore my previous reply. I just noticed that google drive has 15GiB of free storage instead of 5 like I thought. I sent you a link via PM to a shared folder in my google drive where you can upload it if you are still offering.

Thanks for the offer. Unfortunately I don’t know any free cloud upload services that support that much data. I tried creating a file upload link for my synology NAS but based on the given URL that one would only work if you were in my local network and I don’t believe there is a way to share that without exposing the entire NAS to the internet.

Thanks for the setup tips, especially about the masquerade rule and safe mode.

I’m not too worries about the loss of speed since internet here in germany is on average slower than 250mbps and anything data intensive like access to my Mediaserver should be handled over Ethernet anyway. If it does become an issue I can always throw a second AP at it I guess?

I’m not sure how to find out whether it has two access points. Performancewise I believe the specific model I have selected should be fine.

Thanks. I wasn’t sure about the VLAN thing so that’s one of my main reasons for this post. I will probably buy a VLAN capable router anyway because I am pretty into home automation stuff and the ability to separate the IoT traffic and play around with networking a bit seems nice

I read about the issue regarding the halved connection speed somewhere but I don’t believe that will be an issue. Considering the average internet speeds here in germany are below 250mbps I don’t expect to saturate the WiFi connection even with half speed. Anything data intensive like accesses to my mediaserver will primarily be over ethernet.

I’ve heard about DMZ before but I never knew what it was. That will probably not be an option unfortunately. While I don’t know what router is currently used by the other residents I assume it will be either a FritzBox (which allow some configuration but are mostly idiot proof routers that are very popular here in germany) or a locked down router by the ISP. On neither case will I be able to configure a DMZ.

Regarding the WAN port, I was planning to use the stock RouterOS from MikroTik but I believe that the router can be configured this way already without OpenWRT.

Ah that makes sense. I thought I needed the VLAN to separate my network out from the rest.

I am a bit confused about your last paragraph though where you mention 2 APs. Do you mean my private AP and the AP used by the rest of the apartment or do you mean that I have to get 2 APs?

Hey, I just went through my old saved comments and stumbled across yours. Do you know if there is a way to download the entire Worm audiobook from the page you linked without having to click each individual download button? I typically use audiobookshelf for my listening so I would need to download everything first :/
