Doubt.

I could disappear and my friends wouldn’t be able to find me again.


Honestly my friends ask me tonnes of questions like this, including “what happens when AI takes over”, or “when everything mines your data”.

I don’t think people realise how close me as an IT person is to going and living in an off grid cabin in the woods.


There’s been tens of dozens of annoyances over the last decade.

Literally not even boiling the frog at this point, the frog is fried.


Yeah you probably need a second IP address on the VPS though.

I open a wire guard tunnel from home to the VPS and then tunnel an Nginx ingress down the VPS.


Also

“Don’t you want to support the creators”

Yeah, preferably them rather than the majority share go to Spotify or Netflix.


The US is especially authoritarian.

And if you think you actually have a choice in candidates, let alone any good ones you’re sorely mistaking.

Voter suppression is a widely used tactic to influence votes away from low socio economic areas and black communities.


Oh yeah I’m not denying that.

I’m just saying its short sighted to take any shots at China when the west are authoritarian themselves.


The US government is a dangerous authoritarian government and they heavily influence private business in very nasty ways.


EndeavourOS

Check your games on ProtonDB. But I stopped letting developers dictate which OS I used 10 years ago. If it doesn’t work on Linux, I don’t buy it.


10 years strong on Linux and still the only windows laptop I have at home is the one my work gave me to use.


Meanwhile the writers of assembly - the root of all programming languages - are shaking in their boots.


Real alternate title: EV manufacturers are trying to be like apple and misrepresenting your ability to repair your shit for profit.



Because when I’m looking for where all my RAM went and realise I’m running 7 instances of Chrome browser for no reason. Meanwhile an actual instance of Chrome with ~20 tabs is still a single instance, but with multiple threads.


You’re looking for Coder.

You can even set up your DE with the bits required to build your apps.


Encryption + POP should be part of every privacy conscious person’s repertoire.




I’m not the person to answer the quesrion, I’m advocating for hot opening it up to the internet.


You’re absolutely not to run them without a VPN or other authentication portal in front of them.



Change your downloader to freeleech only and continue downloading.

Also helps if you pick up something like large freeleech ROM or movie packs.



Yep if you’ve got the requisite skills the linuxserver guide is the best for authelia.

I’ve also ran Keycloak via the red hat documentation.

That’s really as easy as it gets…if you want to learn, be prepared to pile through the documentation.


You probably need to realise that this is advanced self hosting here.

I might suggest you start off with something a bit simpler.

Run an application, do DNS, point Nginx to it, get certbot and follow the instructions on their site to implement it. Read logs. Update stuff. Break stuff.

You need to build up to it, because Authentication is a compilation of 5-6 different basic tasks that you need to be across. And if you mess up any of them, it won’t work and you need to work out why.


Secure Web Application Gateway.

And something like “swag selfhosted” or “swag linuxserver” would have been a better search term. You need to lead the horse at least slightly in the direction of water when it comes to Google searches.


Simplest would be Authelia and Swag.

Swag comes with prewritten config files and all you really need to do is uncomment a few lines and make sure it’s pointed to your service.

Linuxserver.io guides are good for this.

I ended up landing on Keycloak and I believe I set mine up using the ansible script, again it’s a matter of plugging in some details.


Not op, but I only give my initials. They dont need my full details. They’re lucky they get initials.



If you’re pirating purely because it’s free you’re an asshole.

If you’re pirating because the current platforms are too expensive, just as bad as cable, shows missing and routinely has service issues - you’re good.




This has been exceptionally done to death on Reddit but I’ll say it here since Reddit is dead.

Authentication -

If what you’re looking for is a login front end you could check out paper merge - personally I’ve got Keycloak and Nginx running so I can just make my own login page anyway and put paperless behind it.

Stuff with sensitive documents should probably not be on the internet anyway unless you’re a really advanced user.

Encryption -

In app encryption offers no security because the encryption key is stored in RAM and likely a database entry that must be unencrypted.

So the Devs are 100% correct in stating that it gives people a false sense of security to offer it as a feature.

Best bet is to have an encrypted filesystem or alternative encrypted storage buuuut, also understand that encryption key is also stored in RAM.

TLDR: There is no point in Devs offering in app encryption when you should already be encrypting the filesystem.


There’s absolutely zero way that is going to get pulled into the actual Jellyfin project, hence a fork is unnecessary.

It’s unreasonable to take responsibility for apps a user runs on their server.

But when you all of a sudden see a heap of Plex IP addresses hitting your provider with mass media sharing rings you’ve got problems.

Jellyfin however is just serving HTTP/S. Thats it. You can’t ban Nginx or Apache.


Google TV.

Your “smart” tv never needs to touch the internet. They’re usually going some sort of spying anyways.



It is literally that easy.

The torrent client will just see the file in the correct spot on disk and assume it’s downloaded already.



CalyxOS has a firewall built into it.

Install app. Firewall it. Enjoy your free game, provided the Devs aren’t assholes. Provide 1 star rating if they are.
