My #Helm chart for a complete home media/streaming stack, Flex has been updated to version 0.2.0 🎉

Previously, it supports #Plex as the streaming service, #Bazarr for automated subtitle downloads, #Flaresolverr for bypassing web protections/challenges, #Jackett as proxy server for #torrent trackers, #Overseerr as an interface for requesting media, #qBittorrent as the torrent client, #Radarr for downloading/managing movies, and #Sonarr for downloading/managing TV shows.

Now, to reduce reliance on Plex and lean towards a completely #FOSS stack, I've added in support for #Jellyfin as a drop-in replacement for Plex, #JellyPlex-Watched for syncing watch states between Jellyfin/Plex servers, and #Jellyseerr as a drop-in replacement for Overseerr, which not only works with Plex but also Jellyfin.

I've been using this for over a year at this point and it works perfectly. For me personally, I have everything supported deployed using this on my #Kubernetes cluster except for Jellyfin, Plex, and qBittorrent, which I've deployed as individual VMs instead on #Proxmox cos I find it less resource/bandwidth taxing on my cluster that way - this shouldn't be an issue if your cluster is a lot beefier. During non-peak loads, the (Flex) stack uses up a total of only ~0.19 CPU core and ~1.6GB memory.

The new #Gnome background apps feature is nice, except that I still can't turn off the AppIndicator extension, because if I do #qBittorrent suddenly has some sort of non-existent window that shows up in Activities and the window switcher, so the feature is actually totally useless for me…? Is this a bug just with qBt or is the feature just not finished yet…?

A very simple app could manage a #qBittorrent via its api, and click on a file, select Torrent This, you get a nice torrent file ready for uploading!

Peertube is still a little experimental, but does have livestream abilities that could be useful for seminars. #nextcloud has their video chat thing, haven't used it, but if it were distributed like a torrent or load shared by ForwardErrorCorrection like Swarmcast was…

Why does #qbittorrent for Windows open a http link in the browser after you click "yes" when it notifies you of an update? Why doesn't it just open a magnet link, downloading the update as a torrent from within qbittorrent? That would be much more convenient IMHO. When there is a #Filezilla for Windows update and you click "yes", it just opens an FTP link within the running Filezilla instance, then closes Filezilla and runs the installer, qbittorrent should do it like that, only with a magnet link to a torrent, of course.

I've been tracking this split tunnel #windows memory leak issue with #qbittorrent + multiple #vpn services for over five years. Every now and then someone reports the problem is gone, but i think that's simply because their hopefulness never gives the problem enough time to expose itself again. It also seems like three separate parties between win, qb, vpns and external libs could all be partly to blame github.com/qbittorrent/qBittor

#qBittorrent fixes flaw exposing users to #MitM attacks for 14 years
The flaw, introduced in a commit on April 6, 2010, was eventually fixed in the latest release, version 5.0.1, on October 28, 2024, more than 14 years later.
qBittorrent is a free, #opensource client for downloading and sharing files over #BitTorrent. Its cross-platform nature, IP filtering, integrated search engine, RSS feed support, and modern Qt-based interface have made it particularly popular.
