I just assume anything that promises free stuff on Instagram reels is in fact a scam or a hack.

Also I’m not getting on that shit site to confirm it’s true.

Lots of places do a better job providing DRM free or DRM Lite ebooks (Chicago press only ties your name to the files so you’d have to doxx yourself to share it, but you can share it), but the sheer library of self published books on Amazon is hard to find.

There’s an author I’ve become good friends with who I pay him (in coffee) for his books because I disagree with giving Amazon a cent. But he noted that’s just where the masses are still and it’s hard to break that momentum.

An AI project that’s ultimately just trying to cash out? Say it ain’t so!

Checked the videos you posted

This is just a ChatGPT front end isn’t it?

More I’m even more curious what you’re doing here. Are you selling access to your own API key for $30? Why LMAO

Okay so it’s something I can use to automate some sort of data processing and then be compensated for it.

How is it processing the data?

Where am I getting the data?

What is it doing to the data?

Who is paying me for processed data?

That’s not a bad call.

There’s fortunately pretty tech literate people at both locations. I can walk them through most of it with very little a long the lines of finger puppets and crayons.

That’s me! Gotta love Spectrum baby!

I actually got into this because I used to have sporadic hour+ long Internet outages when I was trying to watch all of Star Trek.

15 minutes drive to my MIL and 4 hours to my own Mom.

My dad used to do tech support and wants to learn some of this stuff while he’s recovering from surgery and I’m at my MILs several times a month anyways. So it all works out. Also it’s only fair as the FIL has helped me do so much with my car over the years I wanted to pay them back and he likes movies more than me.

Hell yeah

I already have a stack of Optiplex 30XX SFF PCs. It would be cheaper spending the $100-$200 for a high capacity HDDs TBH. And the idea is that I manage the content on it from my own 30tb store.

12-16tbs of TV and movies is kind of a lot lol.

Is it pretty easy to set up on a CLI?

I’d want to do that if possible.

Fair, but if I’m technically violating TOS and CF tunnels aren’t working anyways, I might as well try it.

Didn’t work.

Gonna go to bed and kinda just hope this starts working and then try again after work when reality sets in.

I assume a Caddy set up would get me a URL? I might look into that.

unless you’re a neo Nazi

I hate being torn between my hatred of tech monopolies and love of seeing Nazis get their shit rocked.

I don’t know what that is. So no.

And obvious it’s all movies and TV shows I own that’s just conveniently ripped for sharing with friends and family :)

I’ll try swapping it to http unless you think I should run nginx or something to certify it. I don’t know if that will help.

The actual config uses

https://localhost:8096/

Not sure why I decided to “censor” it like that.

I’ll try swapping it to http:// and removing f2b for now.

I believe this is incorrect. I can’t find the forum post from Cloudflare but you cannot use the CDN to deliver video without paying for it, but you can use CF as a reverse proxy via Cloudflared to deliver video so long as you aren’t on the CDN

They even have blog posts on using Cloudflared for hobby video streaming projects like a RPi pet cam. Unless it’s assumed I have an enterprise account.

https://www.cloudflare.com/service-specific-terms-application-services/#content-delivery-network-terms

Unless you are an Enterprise customer, Cloudflare offers specific Paid Services (e.g., the Developer Platform, Images, and Stream) that you must use in order to serve video and other large files via the CDN. Cloudflare reserves the right to disable or limit your access to or use of the CDN, or to limit your End Users’ access to certain of your resources through the CDN, if you use or are suspected of using the CDN without such Paid Services to serve video or a disproportionate percentage of pictures, audio files, or other large files. We will use reasonable efforts to provide you with notice of such action.

I download the YouTube tutorials I followed, upload them to my UAT Jellyfin server, and then when my server is having issues I can’t get to the videos!

A flawless system really
