#1223598 NordVPN-Connector for DreamOS and OE2.0

Posted by WanWizard on 21 June 2020 - 23:11

Please note that a "Smart DNS" is something completely different from a VPN.

 

What is does is on every DNS request respond with the IP adres of a old-fashioned proxy, which will proxy your connection to they requested address. Which means for the destination, the client IP is no longer your public IP, but the IP of the proxy, which will be in a country of your choice.

 

Also note that it is not very complex to detect the presence of a proxy, and in case the client is a reasonably smart http client, also what the real public IP is. So it might not work for all services.

 

And finally, in terms of security both have the same potential issues. The chosen service provider will see EVERYTHING you are doing, and might use that for all sorts of purposes. And that includes https offloading and capturing.




#1223586 OpenPLi 7.3 » Pre-release test images

Posted by WanWizard on 21 June 2020 - 22:48

The releasenotes haven't been compiled yet, but nothing major.

 

We needed to get the latest changes out before we're moving to OpenPLi 8, whis is based on a much newer OpenEmbedded version.

It is work in progress, the screen hasn't been skinned yet.




#1223274 Multiboot VU+ 4K Ultimo

Posted by WanWizard on 21 June 2020 - 16:46

VU+ doesn't support true multiboot (it needs bootloader support).

 

There is hack called OpenMultiboot, but as I have never used it, I can't comment. Don't even know if it works on a VU+.




#1223186 7.3 Pre-release image of OpenPli....Question Please !

There are two ways of making a backup.

  1. The Autobackup in the menu makes a backup of all configuration and all installed plugins.
    It does not backup anything that is installed manually, and it also doesn't backup files in non-standard locations (like plugin configuration in the code directory), you need to tell autobackup manually to include those.
    The backup is autodetected after a flash, and you will be prompted to restore it. After restore, your box should be operational as before. So this is the best for "normal" end-users.
     
  2. There are plugins that create a full disk image from the box, that you can flash to restore the exact situation at the moment of backup.
    This can not be used to restore after a flash, and is mainly used by people that manually change things, and want a way to undo those changes.

I personally have never used option 2, and use option 1 several times a day (when flashing development images). All my boxes have a USB stick connected for this purpose, and I have autobackup configured to make a daily backup.




#1222482 Difference, OSCAM vs OSCAM-EMU?

Posted by WanWizard on 20 June 2020 - 11:36

As a famous chinese philosopher once said: "If you don't know what it is, you don't need it"... ;)




#1222310 Difference, OSCAM vs OSCAM-EMU?

Posted by WanWizard on 19 June 2020 - 22:44

oscam-emu contains an emulator, like cccam, so it can work with keys. Which is illegal, and therefore not part of the Oscam code.




#1222242 VU+ Ultimo 4K geen beeld, alleen geluid

Posted by WanWizard on 19 June 2020 - 19:31

U heeft gelijk mijn excuus hiervoor. 

Ik zal een aparte post aanmaken.

 

Ik heb 'm even voor je afgesplitst.
 




#1221554 VU+ Dual Band Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter in Vu+Uno4kse

Posted by WanWizard on 18 June 2020 - 15:47

I don't know, he didn't say.

 

But this will lead to issues when reflashing or updating, so I'd thought I'd better mention it...




#1220942 Wifi dongle is not recognized

Posted by WanWizard on 17 June 2020 - 14:32

I don't know, I personally stay away from any wireless if possible.

 

A cable is a lot more stable, and for most applications 100Mbps is more than fast enough.

 

Don't forget wifi is a shared medium.

 

If your kids iphone in the bedroom makes a connection to the same AP, your box can report 400Mbps but still only have 1Mbps throughput because the iPhone connection limits the speed of the AP.




#1220710 ET9500 naar Ultimo 4K backup probleempje

Posted by WanWizard on 17 June 2020 - 10:30

Ja, daar staan alle enigma instellingen in.

 

Die kun je overigens niet zo overzetten, de Ultimo 4K heeft een hele andere tuner setup.

To be complete, these five need to be translated:

  • &lt; (<)
  • &amp; (&)
  • &gt; (>)
  • &quot; (")
  • &apos; (')



#1218578 YouTube storing op mijn HD 51..

Posted by WanWizard on 13 June 2020 - 17:27

Ik heb ooit lang geleden een business training gehad van een psycholoog, en die zei "Alles wat een mens doet is gedreven door de GPA factor, een combinatie van 3 facturen, Gein, Poen en Aanzien".

 

Voor de poen moet je niet in open source zitten, dat is maar weinigen gegeven. Zij die het voor het aanzien doen zijn uitsluitend voor zichzelf bezig, willen niks delen, en moeten overal hun naam op ("Ik ben lid van ..."!). Zij die het voor de gein doen laten zich door niets en niemand sturen, en doen vooral waar ze zelf zin in hebben.

 

Het is maar weinigen het gegeven om lol te zien in je voor niks een bult te werken, om dingen te maken voor je gebruikers en niet voor jezelf. En juist zulke mensen heb je nodig eens je open source project het niveau "zolderkamer" ontstijgd.

 

Want op een dag wordt je wakker, en heeft je hobby project ineens gebruikers, met verwachtingen, en verlangens. En moet support gaan verlenen, vragen gaan beantwoorden, releases op tijd uit gaan brengen, features voor anderen gaan maken en ondersteunen terwijl je ze zelf niet gebruikt, etc.  Een moment waar menig project op struikelt, en waarmee, laten we eerlijk zijn, ook PLi al tijden worsteld...

 

Maar goed, we gaan wel erg off-topic zo... ;)




#1213770 Internet Radio zender streamen

Posted by WanWizard on 4 June 2020 - 17:26

Ok, ik denk dat ik het gevonden heb. Bij downloaden plugins zie ik de lijsten staan. Ik zal daar kijken of ik het kan vinden. :)

Bedankt. Ik laat weten of ik het gevonden heb. :)

 

Als je een lijst uit de download installeert, dan ben je je eigen lijst kwijt, dus even nadenken of je dat wel wil.
