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).
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.
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.

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.
You included AirVPN in that list even though they aren’t mentioned in either of your screenshots… maybe a typo? I’ve never heard of them being associated with Kape so am curious why you lumped them into all that.
On VirusTotal only 2/67 Antivirus vendors flag it as anything
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
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.
Yeah I was bit surprised too, are people/bots just starring any repo with “Github” in the name?
That’s interesting, didn’t know that existed. I know OP didn’t ask about cost but I was curious if you’ve been paying for major version upgrades or subscribing for the yearly support? According to their pricing page only minor updates would be automatic for the free installs
so you’d need to manually upgrade the system whenever you need a major OS update to be done. It doesn’t seem quite as automatic as OP was hoping for but maybe it’s not a bad tradeoff if you only need to touch it once a year or whatever the software release schedule is.
Those who bought an Office license back in 2019 are very much likely to have upgraded their packages already
You’d be shocked how often that’s not the case. So, so many people and small businesses don’t feel like buying another new license of MS Office and instead just re-install an old licensed version on their new system when needed. Just in my own bubble of working at different small businesses or helping people with computers I’ve repeatedly encountered ancient versions of MS Office that people cling on to. People that do lots of IT support in the field must encounter this fairly regularly.
When I ask/question people on using their old outdated MS Office it’s some combination of “I don’t want to learn something new” or “I paid for it so I’ll keep using it”.
And nowadays, besides LibreOffice, people also have the option of using MS Office Online or Google Docs but that still falls into the category of needing to do things slightly differently vs what they’re used to.
Not sure if you already know, the Piefed software (and pifed.social site) does maintain a list of default domains they block. It’s mostly right leaning/far right type stuff but still, hosting a conservatism community on an instance that censors/blocks a lot of those related links… is certainly a choice.
See https://lemmy.ml/post/47022286/25574741 and rest of the post discussing it.
I’ve no interest in the community, just letting you know in case you’re wondering why certain news site links don’t show up there.
I don’t know Voidlinux but am curious, what GPU are you using? And is your Linux DE using Wayland or X? Nvidia GPU drivers are notorious for having issues with suspend/hibernate/resume. If it’s Nvidia you could try tinkering with enabling/disabling the driver options or the suspend/hibernate/resume services.
These should give you some hints:

Unfortunately I don’t know what you’d do exactly to recover from a failed hibernate - the thing with hibernate is that the RAM of the running OS was saved to disk so even turning it off completely isn’t going to solve that, the whole point of hibernate is to be able to power off completely after all. When you get your system back up you should do some light testing with standby, not hibernate, just to see if there’s issues. Or do what I do and never standby/hibernate :P
Offhand I’d suspect a finicky adapter. Does the adapter work with other disks? Does the disk work when plugged into a server/computer directly?
Assuming it’s the adapter being finicky - did you happen to try using other USB cables with the adapter?
When plugging into the system - Does the dmesg output display anything else useful, any warnings or anything? I would have thought it would give you the USB drive chipset vendor/model, I didn’t think Sabrent builds their own chipsets but could be wrong.
Also would try doing a smartctl --scan followed by a smartctl -a /dev/YOUR-EXTERNAL-DRIVE and see what comes up. (those are part of smartmontools)
LOL burning through someone else’s stash of tokens is one way to stop them from vibe coding.
