I don’t disagree, and I am one of the VPN advocates you mention. Generally there is no issue with exposing jellyfin via proxy to the internet.

The original question seemed to imply an over-secure solution so a lot of over-secure solutions exist. There is good cause to operate services, like jellyfin, via some permanent VPN.

I would not publicly expose ssh. Your home IP will get scanned all the time and external machines will try to connect to your ssh port.

Over the top for security would be to setup a personal VPN and only watch it over the VPN. If you are enabling other users and you don’t want them on your network; using a proxy like nginx is the way.

Being new to this I would look into how to set these things up in docker using docker-compose.

You have a mini sword breaker. It’ll be fine…

Edit: autocorrect…

Eternity, I just wish it was updated more frequently.

Edit: I can’t spell.

cough

I have, never fix this. It’s a fidget spinner built in…

Set aside a few weekends and mess around distro hopping. Think of it as a small scientific study. Use what you determine to be the most comfortable.

I suggest being clever in your partitioning keeping /home and any other areas personal to their own partition if not their own disks. If you want to experiment you lose nothing by wiping / and installing something else. Also, you should decide on an effective backup strategy.

I would not vote guilty on your jury.

As good as it would feel to support this sentiment, every one of these “antivax idiots” that catches covid gives the virus more generations to mutate. Creating a danger to us all.

If you wanted to go overboard, don’t even make the server accessible publicly. Distribute keys to a Wireguard network that is accessible publicly. Mandate your players obtain keys from you to play.

Gotta make replacement laborers. If you put restrictions on that whose children will work in the meat packing plants?

👏👏

I would not just default to exfat because it is “newer,” it does have compatibility issues on non-windows systems. The implementations differ wildly.

Veracrypt. Make a file on your disk.

Don’t want a storage file?

Make 2 partitions, put veracrypt portable exe on the first normal storage partition. (fat32 is likely ideal here) Second partition formatted with veracrypt.

Factory games. Resource management… I get all caught up rebalancing inputs and outputs… This building needs an expansion to fit the new gears project… Over here we need more room for screws… Plates??? Why are all the plates gone!!! 🤬

You still don’t read.

You asked a simple question about “better” which is pretty subjective for whooping out the references along accusations of falsehood.

“virally open source”

Which answered the original question quite succinctly. I wish you would have read more carefully before…

That’s how things are done in the USA.

I was born into a car centric society. So much so they design the places we live around them. Including dense residential far away from employment that requires transportation. Chop all attempts at decent public transit and now you have created a market of completely artificial demand. Which the law says cars must become more expensive. I have to have a car because of the awful design choices made by unqualified politicians past. Fuck the auto industry. They could have been out saviors by being the example of what union companies do but instead chose violence.
