You get some coverage for free but if you’re really getting slammed I wish to stay up they’re not going to do everything for free. I believe They click here to prove you’re not a butt is gratis.

The DMZ is the right idea. But it’s the old way. You definitely want whatever is serving your website to be separated out from your house. You’re hosting should be on an isolated VLAN. The internet should only be able to talk to the server it needs to talk to, no other ports. That box should only be allowed to talk to what it absolutely must talk to and only on the ports that are required. You should run an independent firewall on each one of the boxes that are involved in the hosting with only the proper ports open.
Giving up your private IP Will definitely give away your general location to everyone and your precise location to the authorities.
I would highly recommend using cloudflare or one of the other funnel options. A lot of people don’t like cloud flare because they can capitalize on your traffic, The cloudflare also just won’t shut you down and sell you out like your ISP will at the first request, They don’t do shit about anything until there’s a warrant or a court filing. On the upside you don’t give out your private IP to anyone. You have DDOS protection, and a reasonable layer of anominity.
You need to check daily to make sure all of your software is updated. We’re talking OS, middleware, plugins, application. Preferably via automation. All of the software and plugins you use for this type of hosting end up getting vulnerabilities.
Security is especially difficult on forums. There’s lots of opportunities there for skilled people who are pissed off at what you or someone else is saying to get butthurt. People know exactly what you’re running, then they do some magic behind the scenes next thing you know there’s a bunch of admins you didn’t create.
You don’t need to be hosting your own email but you are going to need an SMTP provider, most free services won’t let you masquerade the from address.

- Comment on 90s band alignment chart 4 days ago:
I went to NIN, Manson opened and Jim Rose Circus sideshow ran in between.
I had shitty seats in the back corner of my mid-sized venue. There were parents all around me in the cheap seats. There were no kids with them, but they were obviously looking for their kids.
The main floor was a sea of 90% under-aged goth chicks smoking.
The parents were all solemn and quiet.
Lights went down
Spot came up, the screeching cheer of 10k girls pierced my eardums. Manson walked out on stage
MANSON: “HOW MANY 14 YEAR OLD GIRLS WANT TO FUCK ME”
The GA seats double down on screaming.
All the parents went from disinterested concern to outright anger.

Unfortunately for a crossfading they need to wait for jellyfin to provide it on their side.
I wouldn’t be surprised to find a normalization plugin though.
- Comment on Optimal Plex Settings for Privacy-Conscious Users 4 days ago:
Remote access is definitely a pain, and just surfacing the ports is a bad idea.
Finamp is close. No visualization, No normalization, and there’s gapless playback but no crossfading.
I use tailscale to watch videos and play music remotely.

LOL private chat with 8 people.
You don’t even need a Derek, all you have to do is have one of the 8 perceive that they are being wronged. One’s mate makes googly eyes at another, next thing you know, it’s all public.
Never post anything anywhere if it ever getting out will fuck you.
Nothing is private and you should strive to be the kind of person that doesn’t say shit about other people behind their backs.

We’ll probably flux forever in between centralized corpo trash and open decentralized projects, until of course to governments collectively outlook decentralized projects because they can’t control/police them.

Finamp lets you listen to music and add songs to a playlist.
I’m missing the crossfade tracks option massively.
I’m missing the AI DJ’s, but i could let them go in the name of privacy.
I kinda miss the visualization.
I really miss Plex’s free SSL, server locator and user management.
- Comment on Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April 2 weeks ago:
Well that’s the beginning of the end for them.
I’m about half-way off the platform already (and I’m a lifetime subscriber)
The only thing I go back for is Roku use (better app), PlexAmp (better app) and offline viewing. I don’t have to go off JF for those, but it’s a lot better on Plex.
But it’s not so much better than I can’t protest.
- Comment on Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April 2 weeks ago:
does jellyfin have a roku app?
Yes, it streams pretty well, it has some UX issues, but it will let you get off plex as it stands right now with most of your needs covered.

We’re due for a pizza night anyway, need to teach the eldest how to do fermented dough. Also, I’m not sure kiwi are in season, will be a bit.

- Comment on Is 33 cents a small amount of money? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, there’s a lot of lessons in school that we’re not actually ready for. We need some kind of continuing education stuff like they do in the medical profession. When we hit our 30’s and 40’s and our bodies handle food differently, we need those diet courses again. And when we move out of home, we need those finance and home economics classes that haven’t been looked at for a decade.
- Comment on Pineapple was never the problem 2 weeks ago:
OK, hear me out.
Roasted sweet red pepper rings, paprika, white onion, sliced kalamata olives, and light goat cheese.
Kiwi, super thin, not cooked but added as an after topping just enough to warm through.
Hot honey drizzle

The nutritional stuff is like 5th grade science, about the time you should be burning peanuts with a bunsen burner.
I’ve seen a few schools that have an elective financials class. But I think they’re still trying to balance checkbooks.
The problem is it’s just one class and nobody takes classes seriously in high school. Most of them have forgotten the things that they used to know when it gets 20 30 40 years past there education.
It’s like we need some kind of driver’s ed test but for living
- Comment on Is 33 cents a small amount of money? 2 weeks ago:
This is absolutely an educational failing. We barely cover taxes in school. At best it’s said once in a class, gets covered in a minor question on a test and if we get it wrong, no one notices. “We” probably still got a B on the test without any CLUE how taxes work.
Yet here we are, dismantling any nationwide effort to make education better.
A LOT of people think 99,999 tax is 27,999 and 100,001 is 29,000, even on the democrat side. If those charts are accurate, it’s probably damn close to 50% of US citizens.
- Comment on Something's wrong with denmark 2 weeks ago:
e a word that just means 80 in people’s mind, it kinda not literal anymore, but the Swiss and Belgian ways are still better (edit the 4x20+10 is s
And if it was 28 syllables, it would still be 80 in people’s minds. But the words are still four twenty eight for what could easily just be nine eight.
I get it, but it is really inefficient for something as oft used as counting.
If it makes you feel better, English is full of crap like that which doesn’t make any sense and I’ll own that as a trash language :)
- Comment on Something's wrong with denmark 2 weeks ago:
Ehh, i’m not giving France a pass either.
The answer to 100 - 8 should not be four twenties and a twelve. We’re counting, not making change.
French counting is bunk. Way, Way, better then Denmark though apparently

- Comment on FuckYourHeadlights - A community for people to organise and vent about ridiculously bright lights 3 weeks ago:
I do have some concerns about polarizing the light. If I can get a hold of some cheap filter material I might be inclined to do some tests. Maybe I can rescue the polarizer out of an old LCD TV.
Polarizing’s not completely magic, It does seriously reduce the amount of light coming in. There’s just usually enough light around that it doesn’t affect us, our pupils dilate a fraction of a fraction and it’s no big deal.
But at night when there’s already relatively little light out, It does reduce the overall light amount.
I’m also concerned that any light that bounces off something but maintains the polarization will be blocked, so there will be a higher chance of you not being able to see some percentage of your own headlight illumination, I would think that the average diffraction off everything in front of you would thoroughly destroy the coalescence of polarization but I don’t really know for sure, it’s possible that would make your own headlights less effective to you.
I suspect if we were thinking about this in the '50s if it were viable somebody would have pulled it off by now. But we only have had windshield sized polarizers in TVs for maybe a decades so maybe?

He’s likely towing the Libertarian party line. We’d be fine without these taxes and all that government waste.
When you start asking about public services, they start, slowly, carefully re-inventing taxes while downplaying corporate greed while putting themselves in a decision-making role where they get to decide what is right for everyone else.
I’m sure he can hardly afford to live in his ancestral home. That SS he paid into all those years doesn’t hit the same as a paycheck and might stop altogether soon. If you don’t squirrel away your own retirement, you have to make concessions.

And we drive all LED elements at 100% of their rated value, no matter what. there used to be a Youtuber that rewired electronic things and dimmed all the lights as he was going through them, it’s been ages since I’ve see him tho.
