I have a Jellyfin instance on my local server which I forward to the public web via a cloudflare tunnel. I’m not sure how secure it is, and I keep getting random requests from all over the world. It’s my first experience maintaining something on a public domain so I may be worrying about something obvious, but some advice...
Being up to date is VERY important. There’s a bunch of sites out there that scan the entire internet endlessly and keep information about each IP up to date. For example go here and search your IP.
When a vulnerability is found, attackers will go to sites like these and look for anything to hack. If you don’t update more or less immediately, you’re at huge risk.
Other then that, everyone else is right. Being available to the public means you’re going to have bots scanning you and sending random trash. The only thing you can do is try and block it (fail2ban) or limit it (block certain countries) but at the end of the day its the software that gets the packets (jellyfin) that you need to trust to be secure and discard random junk.

Looking for some advice on my journey to expand my local storage. Currently, I have a mini PC running my Arr setup with Plex and I have an external enclosure with a HDD connected through USB. I can reliably push 4K to my Android TV. This is the system’s only use and purpose....
Just here to say that the *arrs and Plex use sqlite3 databases. If these are over the network then they’re going to run SUPER slow.
At least for me, when running it over NFS the arr logs were full of waiting for locked databaae and Plex started to show similar warnings in the logs after a few people were using it.
I want to get back into reading, so I’m thinking of getting a Paperwhite. But I have no idea if it’s possible to transfer files to it from a computer, and I have no experience with pirating books....
But if you do jailbreak a Kindle, you’ll be able to install third-party apps like KOReader, which bring support for eBooks in formats that aren’t natively supported by the stock Kindle software, such as EPUB and CBZ files
I wonder when they did that. I’ve never updated my kindle, it’s never even been on the internet so I’m stuck in 2021/2022.
Either way I have KOreader now and it’s amazing. Just reading that I can connect it to the internet for more features and reading how to do that while blocking amazon. I still might not connect it or I’ll put it on my IOT wifi that doesn’t have internet access.
I have heard that there iptv services which are really private and don’t advertise openly and provide really great services. I don;t remember but i saw it here/reddit that they are available on private trackers’ forums. I am on Avistaz, bakabt, torrentleech and few others not worth mentioning. I would like to learn more...
There’s a troubleshooting application for MacOS I’d be happy to buy, but the developers only offer it as on a subscription model, which is unacceptable. If I’m going to buy software, I’d better be able to own it and still be able to use that version in 10 years. Subscription is the worst of both worlds – pay for the...
Cracking means decompiling the files, debugging the code and finding the bits that check if you have a key/subscription and changing it in such a way that it passes. Not exactly something you can learn from scratch quickly.
My phone is no longer getting updates, so it’s time to buy a new one. The hardware could easily last 1-2 more years but I’d have to replace the battery, which is a pain on my phone....
I’ve always bought used phones anyway. With eBay/kijiji/others you can request the seller to enable OEM unlocking so you know it can be done and you don’t even need to boot it into android before installing GrapeneOS.
My experience, not many people are willing to do that for you. YMMV.
I have been posting to a community on lemmy.fmhy.ml for a while now. Someone notified me that since it’s down no one else will see my posts. I assume that only people on my instance can see them. Connect app won’t let me post there but doesn’t tell me why, and I’ve asked about that in its community. The web page lets me...
Last time, I used: “Anybody need anything while I’m out?” and that went over well. May not make it through this surgery on Friday, so I turn to Lemmy for top-notch suggestions for my potential last words!
The one and only time I was put under I said “you know what you’re doing, eh?” And he just put me out. I didn’t mean to say that, I was just nervous. I did see a nurse laugh though so that’s nice.
I’m looking to go into Usenet / premiumize / real Debrid but I don’t know which ones are reputable. Which ones have you all had luck with or liked? And what was the cost?
I also use nzbplanet but they seem to have the same options as geek.
Nzb.su and DrunkenSlug are my “backup” but only because they don’t have a lifetime subscription.
In the Usenet subReddit wiki you can find an awesome list of providers and their backbone. Again, I’m cheap so I went with the cheapest one I could find… it’s rare but because I’m not using “the best” I’ll need to use torrents to get anything I can’t grab from Usenet.
If you think about it, for a torrent, it can be posted as soon as someone has it for others to download. Usenet it will need to be uploaded to servers and replicated through the network before it can be downloaded.
Also, what’s the race for? Watch it a couple minutes/hours/days late, who cares? I usually wake up early and watch a show or two before work.
I never really understood the “I have nothing to hide” mindset. I’ve always been for privacy. I self host everything I use, and when I don’t (e-mail) I PAY someone to do it for me. No Google services in my life, no apple, etc, etc.
However, more and more I’m wondering if what I’m doing is worth it. Really, the people who “have nothing to hide” seem fine, nothing bad has happened, and it seems far more likely my information was leaked from a hack (credit carma I’m looking at you). Credit cards know where I am, what I buy… Its endless. Plus now I have stress about my self hosted services going down.
So these guys who share their location and just live in blissful ignorance, are they on to something? I think life would be ‘easier’ for me on their side…
This is kind of my point. I don’t feel there’s a happy middle right now and unless you go tinfoil hat information is going to get out.
My threat model is basically “do my best to be as private as possible”. But there is limits. I can spend $100 cash on gas or I can spend $100 on my credit card and get 2% back. Obviously I’m going to use my credit card. I still email people who use Gmail, People who have the facebook, instagram, X, etc on their phone has me as a contact, likely with my full name, email address, physical mailing address.
So why do I bother keeping my contacts in a selfhosted NextCloud? Why do I avoid the Google Maps app, or anything google when the wife uses all this stuff and I’m with her 90% of the time? I’m starting to think they have my information already anyway so why not welcome google into my life? I have to keep talking myself into the fact that self hosting is worth the extra work I’m causing myself.
I THINK the idea is you don’t need a VPN with a private tracker. Other then that, the selection is usually better, and the seeders have faster uploads.
I’d start there and see if it can be used for 11 or upgraded through the versions. Then I’d take a “clean” backup and use that to re-install in the future, instead of a new ISO.
I purchased an e-bike which was advertised as just needing the batteries replaced. The li-ion batteries had been sitting dead for months.
