Random requests to my private Jellyfin instance

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...

nolight,

Thanks! No, that’s exactly what I wanted to do :) I was just wondering if it’s okay to have this many random requests, which seems to be fine.

nolight,

Thank you, these are great tips!

nolight,

Some dogs love cats too!

nolight,

I usually browse Trakt and look for some decent lists, then add what I like to mine. The lists are hooked up to Radarr/Sonarr so I don’t have to bother manually downloading my media.

nolight,

I hate Windows, but this has never happened neither to me nor my friends. (Granted I only have like 3 friends who use it regularly)

nolight,

I’ve never seen capitalism explained better than this.

And what do you get with Trump? Internal genocide? Once they start enforcing their anti-LGBTQ legislations you will very much be able to call it a genocide.

nolight,

There are conditions and individual situations where the meds are crucial, but yes, I agree, the “genocide” thing was surely overblown.

And still, I can’t imagine people willing to reelect him over Biden, there is just no way…

nolight,

There’s a FOSS companion app for AirPods on Android and some features are “locked” until you press “Activate” and choose “I’ve spent all of my money on AirPods” as a payment method.

nolight,

Yes, it’s this app, I didn’t mention it because I wasn’t sure if it was the one with the message.

If a piece of software requires you to re-buy itself for a different platform why would you use such an application? I don’t get why people choose to torture themselves when there are SO many alternatives to literally anything.

Edit: thanks for the clarification on the re-buying part. Doesn’t apply to you then ʘ‿ʘ

nolight,

I agree, though I think LibreOffice is not a great example as there’s very little room for error and something that you would need “dedicated support” for. That’s how I see it anyway. Never worked in an office.

However, the majority of companies that require using paid proprietary software also require the use of Windows itself. A safe bet in this situation would be to just set up a VM for work and use Linux for everything else.

nolight,

If treating users like garbage is one of the features I would much rather use less functional software.

nolight,

Switching an operating system doesn’t come without tinkering. Even reinstalling an existing installation doesn’t. You have to be ready if you are willing to make a switch.

That said, LibreOffice gives you exactly what you would expect from an office suite. And it doesn’t only apply to office apps. Pretty much every field is already filled with FOSS solutions that “just work”.

nolight,

I meant to convey my thought in the context of the person above refusing to switch to Linux because of “re-buying stuff” (they’ve already clarified they were talking about games). I do agree that people of little technological literacy wouldn’t be willing to put in the work to get everything working.

My stance on it is that everything comes down to individual situations. I’ve installed Ubuntu on my mother’s laptop and she’s been nothing but happy about it. I just think we shouldn’t gatekeep FOSS and encourage others to use it. Whether to actually try it or not is always up to the end-user.

nolight,

It’s funny how you completely missed the point. Isn’t it an obvious satire portraying people who pretend to be better just because they use a specific distro?

nolight,

Damn, sounds like a dream.

nolight,

Can’t argue much as a Fedora user myself :)

nolight,

There are more of “us” than “them”.

nolight,

What I meant was that “they” can not just simply erase “us” from existence once we stop providing them enough value, I believe in a revolution of some kind if such practices were to be tried.

Though I do not believe it would be rational nor beneficial for the elites at the first place, I was just pointing out that there is little chance of that happening.
