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...

Understood. Any public-facing server will be bombarded by bots. You need to deploy measures to avoid being hacked:

  1. Firewall: lockdown everything, allow only the strict necessary
  2. Remote login/SSH: update default username and pasword, only allow remote login using Encryption Key authentification
  3. (Optional) configure fail2ban to slowdown the attacks
  4. Keep your server up-to-date: configure auto-update, unattended-update or similare
  5. Setup and keep regular backups: be ready to nuke your server at anytime, with the confidence you can restart fresh in a short time and low effort

Obviously, there are many other security steps that can be put in place, but firewall and ssh hardening are absolutely mandatory

It sounds like you made your Jellyfin server public-facing, which is probably not what you want, even though it is supposed to be secured.

I recommend that you setup access through an exclusive and private connection of some kind. E.g: VPN, Tailscale, ZeroTier.

I have tried openSCAD and FreeCAD, they are both good in their own right, but utimatly they also both have very steep learning curves. I suppose Blender can also be used for CAD but I have no experience with it. I just want to quickly design some parts for 3D printing as a hobby and don’t feel like spending hundreds of hours learning those tools. I am current using Onshape.com, it works well on Linux/Firefox, suits my needs and free to use with some limitations. But it is proprietary :(

I my language, we just call it “American Football”. And it works pretty well since only USA plays it. The real football is just “Football” of course.

I am an engineer. I can’t explain what I do, I just can’t…

What about the “weird black mold” ? Is this something real ? Like some radiation resistant mold that has been observed ?

When I opened the package, I was sure I was missing one of the chair’s leg. I went back to the shop and they told me everything is there. So, back home I started to assemble it, now I am finished and I am left with an extra chair leg. What do I do ?

Generative AIs are capable of creating consistent styles and characters nowdays.

You can go to one of the 120 linux communities to brag about your arch desktop rice!

Maybe someone needs to come up with a better name

Confidence ? E.g: “he is very confident !” = “he has big dick energy !”

Lets be honest, people don’t switch to Linux because it’s better, we switch because of the cute pinguin mascot !

I lost my ability to speak for about 2 year until I could begin a slow recovery.

Really ? I have not encountered this problem. Well my custom domain gets rejected sometimes, because it’s somewhat exotic, but then I fallback to the @protonmail.com and it works.

Today I received a meeting invitation from the CTO (this doesn’t usually happen, I am getting dragged into a mud trap), the agenda for the meeting is “Plan to prepare for the preparation…” and my contribution to that meeting is to come prepared with a timeline of the plan. I am not even kidding.

If only modern phones would made out of proper shock resistant plastic, instead of bendy metal and brittle glass, we wouldn’t need extra case.

I have nothing against glass screen, but glass back-side I find rather stupid, and pretty standard nowdays.

A colleague from South Korea explain to me that his daughter, 11yo, back in korea had school from 8:00 until 15:00, then had extra math class from 15:00 until 20:00 -every day- then spend 3 hours on homework. As a west-european, this sounds to me like child abuse, but ok.

I would do exactly what he did, move to Germany.

The moment when the big triangle bloc tips over and all the snow splatters on the ground. Soooo satisfying.
