I’m okay with seeing it from time to time - but when my /all would get flooded with PAGES, and PAGES of the stuff with no normal articles in between, I started muting those users.
Why? It’s too much bandwidth, too much upkeep, I already modded/ran communities larger than lemmy; I DON’T want to do it again, especially if I’m paying out of pocket for it. Having to deal with whiny cry-bitches when you DON’T ban something that they don’t like it almost as bad as having the stuff banned in the first place.
Nah fuck that. Mods are power hungry fat morons who exert the editorial discretion of a wet noodle. Almost every community in the fediverse is full of this crap. Things aren’t removed because they’re harmful, they’re removed because some mod disagrees.
There’s also the problem with every instance admin having access to deeper internals; I’m waiting for the day people start getting banned for upvoting the wrong thing.
I found that a total of like 5 people post basically all of the lemmynsfw stuff. Once I blocked them, it almost all went away. Pretty sure the internet is nothing but bots now.
Also, if you’re on the internet expecting all sunshine and rainbows – leave now. The internet is not a place for that. Everything now is rage-bait designed to get more clicks, and the internet has always been the wild west with major hostilities all the time. It’s not a good place to spend your time if you’re looking to relax.
Something is awfully weird here, because Linux literally runs the worlds infrastructure for the internet. It is not unstable by any stretch of the imagination. Something you’re doing between all distros has got to be the culprit - something you do differently than other people.
And again - if you put those behind a fail2ban; and you 404 5x in an hour, which is likely - you’ve solved that issue. Had my jellyfin instance publicly available for 2 years on its own VM with passthrough GPU, and haven’t had any issues. People poke around quite often, and get blackholed via the firewall for 30d.
It wouldn’t stop a dedicated attacker, but I doubt anyone’s threat model here is that intense. Most compromised servers happen from automated attacks probing for vulnerabilities in order to get RCE; not probing for what movies you have – Because having movies on a media server doesn’t prove that you didn’t rip them all off of blu-ray…it just means you have movies.
You’re not going to have 100% privacy when you put up ANY service on your network. Everything leaves a trace somehow; but I’m starting to think half of you are Chinese spies or something with the amount of paranoia people here show sometimes. :P
Hmm, that’s a good point. I just checked my Jellyfin, and I don’t put any of the cert data into its config, I’m using caddy as my reverse proxy to serve it and I didn’t even think about this. No reason it has to be a self-signed cert, it could technically be local only and still be a Let’s Encrypt cert.
If they need SSL certs, they’ve got to. Jellyfin doesn’t accept self-signed certs, which means DNS entries in a domain, and access from the internet.
Really, honestly - what they need to do is just install Jellyfin on the Raspberry Pi and ditch the encryption requirement altogether. There’s no reason to have it on a LAN-only environment. They aren’t going to need it, nobody is going to MITM their lan environment, and VPNs will regularly allow LAN passthrough.
If ProntonVPNs own client doesn’t allow LAN connections, they either need to swap to the Wireguard vanilla client (if that’s allowed on free tier), or upgrade their VPN service.
OR switch VPNs altogether.
There isn’t a way to do this without breaking one of their requirements
Only options here are to publicly host with real SSL certs, on a domain and tunnel out – Or swap VPN providers/software so that you can achieve LAN access and forego HTTPS altogether.
Edit: And sorry – the previous post is gone regarding their only needing access within the home, there’s no way I could have known that.
There’s a bit of paranoia going on here to begin with - There’s no reason they need this level of “security” within their home network on the LAN side anyhow. They could possibly buy a managed switch and make the jellyfin server only visible to a specific vlan that didn’t include the router, but that doesn’t quite match up with what it sounds like they’re needing.
