Firefox Only VPN through SOCKS5 Docker good idea? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

I already have two of those, but it's not as snappy and the intermediate clipboard is also a little annoying. for some use cases they absolutely rock though, lke keeping a session alive or anonymously downloading large files.

I only want the specific browser to connect to mullvad.

I'm hosting a container on a my home server that I access via tailscale. mullvad is just the vpn provider I'm using with gluetun, which is a vpn docker container

I want only the firefox browser to connect to my vpn. can firefox itself just connect to a vpn?

Firefox Only VPN through SOCKS5 Docker good idea? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

I want firefox on my laptop to only go through a VPN and the easiest solution I came up with is forcing firefox SOCKS5 Proxy Docker Container which goes through a Mullvad gluetun docker container. I connect to my home server via tailscale

Browser < -tailscale- > SOCKS5 Docker <

gluetun Docker <

Internet

Is that a good idea? It seems a little overengineered, but simpler than running two VPNs on one machine?

Thanks

yeah I'm only talking about ebooks - I just mentioned audiobookshelf because it can also do ebooks and I've read here that people use it as a ebook management thing

A search, where you could describe what you are looking for in a sentence, which then returns the Article with the relevant part, would be a gamechanger.

Yeah, exactly that

Am using Calibre and audiobookshelf. I'd love a solution where I can search the actual contents of the books. Like being able to search for topics inside all of my books.

Would be a cool AI feature - similar to how immich works.

Does anyone have a solution for that?

Hmmmm. Just when I posted about Organic Maps on Lemmy. Coincidence?

Gotta say, so far I'm liking it a lot. All 3 of them are like 90$. I'm currently on a 180 day free trial.

Organic Maps is the best open source Maps App I've ever tried (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

It's essentially an open source fork of maps.me by the original creators.

I've been using OSMAnd for years, but it always felt laggy and not that reliable. Searching was slow and so on. Many street or things it didn't instantly find.

In the Graphene App Store I jnust discovered Accrescent (another app store thing but only with like 10 apps - they're all gold though, god damn)

An in there I found organic maps. And this shit is google maps level responsive. If you're on the lookout for a google maps replacement - consider trying this.

Byeeee

Looking for Art Magazines/RSS Feeds (pirated) (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

G'day.

I'm looking for pirated copies of art magazines or maybe a ripped rss feed for some of them.

Here are some of the magazines I'm talking about:

The Brooklyn Rail

Art Forum

moussemagazine.it

I mean, most of these sites already feature almost all of the content anyways, I was just wondering maybe there's some sort of PDF paradise for issues out there.

Thanks

Old microserver bad idea? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
submitted 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I'm thinking of picking up an old HP Microserver (gen8) and was wondering if it is a bad idea from a security standpoint.

I mean it's only 10 years old - is there any exploit or something like that?

What about a N36L Microserver?

I'd probably run Debian headless on it.

I'd only use it for Syncthing and as a backup NAS.

UPDATE

Everybody made really good arguments against the microserver and I won't be getting one. Thank you for your inputs

Firefox Docker + VPN is so awesome (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

I've been using the Firefox docker container through the gluetun docker container (runs great with proton and mullvad) and it's been really great.

To me it's kind of like a less restricted tor browser, for when you need something stronger in terms of speed or IP blocking. And maybe something more persistent.

And it always stays open even when you close your connection.

Some of my use cases are:

  • Anonymously downloading larger files through the clearnet.

  • Anonymous ChatGPT usage.

  • Manually looking for torrent magnet links (though I usually do that with the tor browser)

  • Accessing shadow libraries
