Yikes on the Nobara experience. Will avoid. Not that I ever felt the need to explore or hop beyond Arch. Discord as the main communication channel? That screams immature project IMO.

I have the same experience as you with Arch. In probably a decade of use I’ve only reinstalled when buying new computers. It’s just so solid. I use it both for work and at home. 👌

Neat, that’s cool.

But Oracle is surely one, still.

Do you find that Arch bothers you in any way, would you say? How if so?

😁👍 Good to hear

Awesome, same 😊 All the best to you buddy!

I’ve got a patch in my boxers right now.

Oh boxes.

Was about to say, “or if you’re running Arch, the last time you updated the kernel or systemd version, so probably last week or summit.”

Alt+L in fish shell, works great. It runs the ls command without having to modify your current command that you’re typing. Or even change your cursor position.

You forgot to say “this is fine”, I take it?

Joking aside, I hope you didn’t lose anything. Was it a big fire?

Deez? 🌰🐿️

Thanks again, mate. So basically, if I’m exposing my junk to the world, and by junk I mean service(s), and by world I mean the open internet, I should do it using a reverse proxy and enable HTTPS, otherwise it’s not really very secure? Would that be a reasonable takeaway?

Yet again, thanks. Especially for pointing out the things you (may) be not so sure about. That’s admirable. 🫡

Okay cool, thanks for that follow-up and confirming my SHH setup seems reasonable. 🙏

There’s one thing I don’t really get though, with the whole reverse proxy thing and how that’s supposedly safer:

putting the resilient software (a good reverse proxy) infront of Jellyfin (or most other software) simply increases your security by having the more safe web server be the one interfacing with end users.

Like, once a user client has contact with the Jellyfin instance, via the reverse proxy, wouldn’t the Jellyfin instance be just as vulnerable as without the reverse proxy? Once a connection is established, or found to be available, you could just start exploiting away in the same way, right? Or wrong? If wrong, how? 😅 Maybe it’s too long for a text reply? Maybe I should watch some helpful video explaining how it works. 😁

Willing to bet you don’t even know. Willing to bet you’re full of shit about it, in fact. Because it just makes no sense. Then it’s probably not true.

Anyway, bye.

You’re on the wrong platform then. Maybe go back to Reddit where this is more the norm? You’ll be among peers.

Before I block you forever with an… appropriate user tag, I just have one question:

Why is this something you aspire to be?

I’m on my second playthrough, this time with my kids. Didn’t think I needed another playthrough but I’m having fun. 😅 At one point I’ll boot up TotK for the first time since buying it on release day. 😎

Will you look back at yourself in decades’ time and you’re gonna be like, “yeah, I’m proud of how I acted during that week”?

Is this the type of person you aim to be? This is your ambition in life? 😐

Yes, even without this current news.

You didn’t like Breath of the Wild?

Could you explain a bit more?

Like, right now, I have two machines on my local network. Both are running sshd on port 22.

In my router, I’ve set the port forwarding to be some high port number in the 19000’s to forward to port 22 on the first machine, and then the same high port number incremented by one (1) to forward to port 22 on the second machine.

Also key based login only of course.

Is this insecure in some way?

Would a VPN make connecting to my computers more secure somehow? I’m not sure I understand how if so.

What I meant with the Jellyfin question was kind of, how is having it exposed via a reverse proxy different from exposing its port right away? Is it because the only allowed connection would be HTTPS/encrypted etc, maybe?

I’ve never set up a home network apart from physical cables and using routers and switches before, no advanced site/network configuring. Definitely interested to learn more though for when I want to serve a real media center using a NAS and like a Pi.
