I think I tried it out once, but I wasn’t able to figure out how to to make this cake-autorotate thing work, was gonna use it on my starlink connection. Didn’t really get past that lol. I’m getting fiber on wednesday so it’s not really a concern anymore.

This reminds me, I actually installed OpenWRT on an ER-X. I need to go poke around on it and see how it works.

EdgeOS is a fork of Vyatta, which is itself based on Debian.

lmao send it to Bringus so he can install Steam on it

is this a Rush reference?

then it would be time to switch all my LXCs to alpine, i guess. if they’ll even still work. they’re all debian 12/13 right now.

Tille suggested that, if such obligations arise, they would likely affect redistributors or commercial entities building on Debian, rather than the Debian project itself.

if my edgerouter 4 adds age verification i’m going to burn everything to the ground

If you have the skills to setup a Jellyfin server you also have the skills to setup wireguard.

They appear to offer a guided installation for windows users.

uhhh did i? https://github.com/ZoeyVid/NPMplus is the link I meant to post for npmplus. its a fork of npm.

Jeez, so it’s meant to be a literal home media server. Able, but not designed, to be used for sharing.

Primarily for the CrowdSec integration (one less thing to set up manually)

I run pretty much all my stuff through NPMplus. Then I have a firewall between my public and private networks in case something does get compromised. But I’ve had Plex exposed (on a non-default port) for literally years and nothing ever happens.

Yeah I had to convince them to try RustDesk so they would stop using RDP. Like I said, a lot of people just know enough to be dangerous.

They also do some SSL shenanigans to get every user a unique, valid public certificate created during setup. https://words.filippo.io/how-plex-is-doing-https-for-all-its-users/

also fyi starlink has public ipv6 available if you DO wan’t to set it up. been hosting a minecraft server off a starlink connection lol.

I had to explain to one of them why RDP is a bad idea lol. Thats kind of my point - average people tend to only know enough to be dangerous, not to do things safely. Or as Shakespeare said - "The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.”

When I set up wireguard it was just more complicated when one side didn’t have a public IP. Whyyyy can’t we adopt ipv6 already.

I’m talking average enough to see an article, or hear about it from a friend/coworker, then follow the insanely easy setup directions for Windows. I know plenty of people who aren’t really “computer people” but know enough to open a port because they had to to get a game working at some point or another. Those people probably wouldnt notice “hey this thing is going to http maybe i should rethink this…”

Sure, but being mostly secure by default isn’t one of them. One advantage of running a service that offers optional subscription services is that they can offer security features like built-in SSL and AAA that just work. Any average user can install it and have a reasonably secure service running. Hell, until a few months ago you didn’t even need to open a port to have remote access to your content, whether you paid or not. Now they’ve made that a paid feature though.
