Ah sweet, my left-pad is coming today!

VERY hands on, wouldn’t recommend it haha.

But that’s the beauty of open source. You CAN do it

I think my approach is probably the most insane one, reading this thread…

So the only thing I expose to the public internet is a homemade reverse proxy application which supports both form based and basic authentication. The only thing anonymous users have access to is the form login page. I’m on top of security updates with its dependencies and thus far I haven’t had any issues, ever. It runs in a docker container, on a VM, on Proxmox. My Jellyfin instance is in k8s.

My mum wanted to watch some stuff on my Jellyfin instance on her Chromecast With Google TV, plugged into her ancient Dumb TV. There is a Jellyfin Android TV app. I couldn’t think of a nice way to run a VPN on Android TV or on any of her (non-existent) network infra.

So instead I forked the Jellyfin Android TV app codebase. I found all the places where the API calls are made to the backend (there are multiple). I slapped in basic auth credentials. Recompiled the app. Deployed it to her Chromecast via developer mode.

Solid af so far. I haven’t updated Jellyfin since then (6 months), but when I need to, I’ll update the fork and redeploy it on her Chromecast.

It’s a vibe seeing solar panels cover those iconic Southern China valleys

Ah but at least those garish lights are all LEDs these days with energy usage a fraction of what it would’ve been in times gone by

It’s fantastic. Unless you’re playing a specific few multiplayer competitive games, it’s just like windows (sometimes even better in terms of performance - and sometimes better in terms of retro compatibility)

Depends how far you want to keep going back ….Wessex dudes talking about Russia and Ukraine like we don’t still occupy all of Mercia.

Where ADHD and SelfHosted combine: I self host Trilium Notes to attempt to solve this problem. Most of the time it works.

That Zen5 rumour is one hell of a rumour…

Also, curious to see how Battlemage goes.

Applies equally to Frostpunk… hmm…

It reads like ChatGPT with the bullet point styling removed. At least, the half of the thing Medium would let me read without signing in did. No Medium, I’m not creating an account or paying you to read AI copypasta garbage

That’s how I spent most of last year…

HAHA yes yes I do that

I rip them out even if it damages the shirt a little bit… (if it can’t be done without completely destroying it I just won’t buy it to begin with)

No idea who thinks it’s perfectly fine to add itchy scratchy annoying tags right where they’re most annoying!

Reverse the polarity!

Ah yes Julia, an unreasonably effective name to give your child

Someone messed up the quantisation when rolling out an update hehe

So fucking annoying to see support for PWAs diminish. We can’t fucking have nice things.

Yes, I am mad.

Untested AND fictional. And thermodynamically impossible

I had the exact same experience. Was just trying to sign up for an account, not join anything
