I am saying this is rage for rage’s sake and shouldn’t be in this community now.

If I see someone filming in a restaurant, I am not going in there. I’m probably not alone. I honestly don’t get what this post has to do with cars in the first place.

The number of “why do influencers always film in public” that I’ve seen leads me to believe that if they were filming in a restaurant instead, this post would not exist, but a “Social Media brainrot. That’s why. They think they can just film anywhere.” post in some other community instead.

Look, I agree, “fuck cars”; but eating and filming in the car you own is just not problematic beyond owning the car in and on itself, at all. There’s plenty of valid car criticism to be had, you don’t have to go looking for things to be enraged by.

Eh. Would you rather they sit in the restaurant and annoy everyone with their filming and talking?

I host it publicly accessible behind a proper firewall and reverse proxy setup.

If you are only ever using Jellyfin from your own, wireguard configured phone, then that’s great; but there’s nothing wrong with hosting Jellyfin publicly.

I think one of these days I need to make a “myth-busting” post about this topic.

Got a simple brother laser printer. Duplex, BW only, works flawlessly with Linux and as a network printer.

4-5 times a year I’ll need to print 10 pages. Add an additional one every two weeks.

The printer definitely paid for itself in convenience.

OK, add step above: use wildcard certificate for your domain.

Terminating the TLS connection at your perimeter firewall is standard practice, there’s no reason your jellyfin host needs to obtain the certificate.

Actual answer for 3:

• put jellyfin behind a proper reverse proxy. Ideally on a separate host / hardware firewall, but nginx on the same host works fine as well.
• create subdomain, let’s say sub.yourdomain.com
• forward traffic, for that subdomain ONLY, to jellyfin in your reverse proxy config
• tell your relatives to put sub.yourdomain.com into their jellyfin app

All the fear-mongering about exposing jellyfin to the internet I have seen on here boils down to either

• “port forwarding is a bad idea!!”, which yes, don’t do that. The above is not that. Or
• “people / bots who know your IP can get jellyfin to work as a 1-bit oracle, telling you if a specific media file exists on your disk” which is a) not an indication for something illegal, and b) prevented by the described reverse proxy setup insofar as the bot needs to know the exact subdomain (and any worthwhile domain-provider will not let bots walk your DNS zone).

(Not saying YOU say that; just preempting the usual folklore typically commented whenever someone suggests hosting jellyfin publicly accessible)

A photo of yourself, naked, in that very shower. With your dick enlarged to a comical size. (Or shrunk.) (Yes this is a gender neutral suggestion.)

Yes. No case. Why would I? I specifically got the phone because it’s quite small, and feels nice in the hand. A case would ruin that.

I also have not dropped any of my phones once in the past ~10 years.

No, mate. I don’t need a guide, or a tour. Just a single clarifying sentence.

“My product does x”. Right now, x could be:

• help you scam people
• provide a meditation partner
• help you learn how to code in Cobol
• give travel tips
• …

What does your product DO? And dong you dare answer “it helps you make money”, that does not explain anything.

I have clicked every link on that site and I still have exactly zero clue wtf this is.

Sadly, we won’t see a second season, because some “fans” on the internet got mad that women, people of color and - very shocking - queer people exist in the Star Wars universe.

It sucks that these people exist, for many reasons. One of these reasons (surely not the worst one, but the one I want to focus on) is that it muddies all criticism of a project. Your comment implied that this was the sole, or main, reason that The Acolyte was canceled, so I want to jump in here to say:

Having more women, people of color, and queer characters was the only refreshing thing about The Acolyte, and I wish more Star Wars projects took notice. Other than that though, the show is an utter disaster. It was incompetently written and directed, its story and characters make no sense, and the effects can be jarring.

Characters either have no defined motivations, or their motivations flip flop at the drop of a hat. Scenes dealing with the Jedi order and the republic fuck with established lore and do lasting damage to the Jedi order (not in the sense that they are shown as morally gray, but in that they are utterly incompetent and seemingly don’t remember the appearance of the Sith during living memory, for example).

Speaking of which, yes, the show tries to portray Jedi/Sith as a gray area, but

a) that has been done to death at this point, seriously, every other SW project tries to do a “ooooh but maybe Jedi not completely good!”, and b) The Acolyte is probably the most incompetent version of that I have seen (so far!).

I hope I have demonstrated that this show can be critiqued bar any bigotry, and I think it should be acknowledged that that, together with the giant sum of money it ate, are the reasons it got canceled - I am sure Disney also does not like the bigotry, but sadly, they get that with every project, even those that do not get canceled…

In any case, there is no comparison to Andor to be made, SMH.

FWIW, I have no issues sending mails/having them be received from my self-hosted to Google mail

On many trackers, you get “paid” for time seeded. Usually in the forms of bonus points or the like. You can then exchange these for improving your ratio (or a freeleech token, or an invite,…).

It’s a system that also rewards keeping media available even if you are not uploading to anyone.

Also, keep in mind that often, a large part of the available content is freeleech (meaning leeching it doesn’t affect your ratio), but seeding those torrents usually still does improve your ratio.

Sorry, I should have mentioned: liking bare-metal does not mean disliking abstraction.

I would absolutely go insane if I had to go back to installing and managing each and every services in their preferred way/config file/config language, and to diy backup solutions, and so on.

I’m currently managing all of that through a single nix config, which doesn’t only take care of 90% of the overhead, it also contains all config in a single, self-documenting, language.

Nice. My partner has a Proxmox setup, so we’ve adapted the Nix config to spin up new VMs of any machine with a single command.

NixOS :)

Maybe I should have clarified that liking bare-metal does not imply disliking abstraction

Containers != services.

I don’t think I am better than anyone. I jumped into these comments because docker was pushed as superior, unprompted.

Installing and configuring does not an expert make, agreed; but that’s not what I said.

I would say I’m pretty knowledgeable about the things I host though, seeing as I am a contributor and / or package maintainer for a number of them…
