yes my world will burn when they crack into my jellyfin instance and magically break out of its docker container and then what? goo nowhere on its vlan?

literally thousands of self-hosted jellyfin/emby instances and the support forums are just chocked full of people getting hacked via it! so many!

oh wait, no there arent

oh noes! im so ddead!

eh, maybe. for me it was opening a port and adding a dns record. took me all of 4 minutes

im kinda lucky in that my isp uses ‘sticky’ ips so while its not static, ive had the same ip for 5 years

friends don’t let friends use plex.

its paywalling yourself

im a firm believer in task appropriate stuff… 24/7 server apps should be on a dedicated server box… network storage should only perform storage tasks. i wouldnt use a primary workstation also as server cuz i want to do crazy shit on my workstation. i wouldnt ever want to interfere with my ‘production’ stuff on the server.

ive been quite happy running a headless server and various nas boxes for storage redundancy… my home related i.t. tasks are very minimal now that everything is solidly automated.

i feel this… i donate time to senior citizens, and its mostly mint upgrades from windows as they do not want to have to update their windows machines.

its very easy. they know many of their users are not experts.

ive been through many of these upgrades and have a dozen or so machines runnin mint… upgrading has never gone sideways on me. its one of the benefits of mint. their upgrade processes are very well tested.

imagine your mom using an llm to write an app…

i found containers helpful… it was simple to spin up a VPN container (gluetun), and push through any services/access/other containers (like pihole) through that. i really appreciated this because if the vpn goes down i’m not suddenly leaking my ip.

what kinda storage ya runnin?

if its a spinning rust drive, it could be failing. ive seen behavior like this after a big data change (like an OS install) on a drive thats on its way out. its spinning its wheels re-reading data.

prolly not the issue if its an SSD

decentralized cloud storage

isnt that kind of an oxymoron?

i manage all files and metadata outside of jellyfin/kodi using mediaelch… it scrapes, renames and sets up all the local metadata files for ingestion perfectly into both my media services.

i dont get this… im technically still usin emby, but user management is beyond simple and requirs no upkeep. no one has asked me to reset their passwords and ive got a few dozen people usin my instance.

very interesting. i use mint as a default workstation and i put it on a lot of older machines for older people as a windows upgrade. it just seems to work except for a very occasional audio issue.

cool, thanks for the info!

Ubuntu was pushing snap,

interesting… ive not seen anything regarding snaps in mint… flatpak is the other option in the software manager

formatting. learn it. use it.

what distro?

smells like the mobile data isnt honoring the split tunnel dns comin from the vpn. the mobile provider is doin some funny business with your dns on that device

i was under the impression ssl is port-agnostic except in configuration where you apply it to a service on a port.

80/443 are just defaults… configure it right, and it shouldnt matter what port you need it on
