FMHY has some good ones for high quality music. Organizing your Library will also be real easy with Musicbrainz Picard.

As for mass downloading there should be some Spotify downloaders out there. Every other way will proly not be able to get 100% of your library. Just make sure to use a trusted one, because you’ll most likely have login with your account to access your saved stuff & playlists.

Personally I download from Tidal for HiFi (yt-dlp + hifi-tui) and Youtube Music (yt-dlp) for everything else.

Snouds like this issue

Like others said, disable password auth and setup auth keys instead.

Bonus points for moving the ssh port, using fail2ban and also setting up a tarpit with something like endlessh.

If you wanna go extreme use Wireguard to connect to your server and only allow ssh over wireguard in your firewall.

It might be important to them, so why judge?

Cheers mate ;D

Well, kinda. But you’re right, almost all of our actions come with consequences which can also affect more people than just ourself. But in this case our action or inaction doesn’t change much if at all

Corporations and by extension many people will sadly do and say anything to accomplish their goals

Well, thanks for letting me know :)

Felt kinda weird, but I actually know some people think like that so it didn’t feel to much off

Yeah, it’s great. Just fyi in case you wanna family share with your friends and Steam tells you “…not living in the same household…” is easily fixed by login into your friends account on your PC and vice versa.

You can use Rustdesk for that, so you don’t have to tell each other your passwords. Just keep in mind that families are restricted to 6 members atm

You’re absolutely right in thinking that way, but this isn’t the only tool of it’s kind. The most popular one is GreenLuma, which has multiple thousands of users. So me making a similliar one for Linux doesn’t really matter in the grand scale of things

Well then sorry for spewing false nonsense. I know Lemmy will flame me for this but Valve is still a soulless corporation fucking everyone over. Just not as much as most others

Added brief instructions and a download that doesn’t require registering to the post. I hope everyone is happy now

Alright, fine. My activity here is a lot less than on CS RIN though, so support & updates might take longer

No problem Mr. Ace! :)

They will ban your account and you will be crying because they took away all your games.

Projecting much? I’ve been using mods like this for a good decade. Also Valve has way bigger fish to fry with their shitty abusable shop system, all the people selling Steam market items on other websites and so on. The list is long

Dont abuse the system is pretty generous already.

You know what community this is in, right? It’s all about bypassing and abusing the system to get shit for free

Edit: Corrected some false statements on my part. Edit2: Undid first edit because seems like I got fed false informations

The lock is client sided, that’s the magic. You can play online just fine, I use it all the time to play multiplayer with my friends :)

Registration required.

Yeah, sorry CS RIN is semi public. But having an account there is definitely very useful, considering their forums are full of Steam games and useful tools for different stores.

Was the best forum to post into, because it fits perfectly on topic.

Tools like this have existed for maaany years already. Just look at GreenLuma, which has quite the userbase. Nothing’s happened to me yet and I’ve been doing this for 10+ years.

But you’re right, as always use at your own risk since Valve can at any point and time disable your account/revoke your licenses etc

For example if your family sharing library has 1 license for a Game only one of it’s members will be able to play it simultaneously. This modification disables that lock for everyone using it

No, AllowedIPs should be set to your internal Wireguards IP range to only allow access to your Wireguard peers. You could also add more like your Servers LAN for example (which will need packet forwarding, as I mentioned before)

Here’s an example of one of my client configs:

[Interface]
Address = 10.8.0.2/32
PrivateKey = 

[Peer]
PublicKey = 
PresharedKey = 
Endpoint = 192.168.0.3:51820
AllowedIPs = 10.8.0.0/16

Just be careful to not mess up your subnet masks. For example my [Interface] Address ends with /32 because that only leaves 10.8.0.2 In the [Peer] Section i set it to /16 which will allow the client to connect to 10.8.x.x iirc

Best is to just try it yourself and see if it works, I’m by no means good at networking stuff

Iirc setting AllowedIPs in your clients config should do exactly that. Their respective [Peer] entry in your servers config should also have the same AllowedIPs, otherwise they could easily circumvent this

Further finetuning should be really easy by using any firewall on your Wireguard server

If you want your clients to be able to access other devices in your servers LAN you need to setup additional packet forwarding rules though. Optionally setup NAT aswell
