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.

Wait do you mean “kates” or “Kay-Eights”? I think either makes sense and I wouldn’t raise an eyebrow

If you said it like “Kuhh-Eights” I would probably laugh

I think software name pronunciation discussions are so hilariously absurd that I sometimes purposefully vocalise nginx as “Nuhh Ginks” just to put a hat on it

Oh damn, I’m gonna be thinking of it as that now too

Oracle actually making products and services is only their side hustle

When this baby hits 200rps, you’re gonna get some hairs on your chest

Of course… even an Arabic programming language has a recursive acronym name

gained popularity as an insult in the 2010s

Me too

Aha! Masking/coping strategy ACTIVATE!

Time to get out my phone/laptop and write that thought down so I can file it away into the kafkaesque disorganisation that is my notes system! (self hosting Trilium Notes btw)

Oh lord no. My eyes!

The money will disappear into a hole, just like it does every time the US government invests into tech

I think that’s part of the fun of an “ask people” forum, the answers reveal the common understanding of the definition of the question itself!

For example, In this question the term “male loneliness” is seemingly semantically meaningful. It seems to be a name given to the popular perception or understanding of a certain phenomenon.

This is legitimately the best usage of this meme I’ve seen in years. Termination signals hnnngg

If only my happiness supported non-blocking I/O

Seriously? Dammit

Networking is always fun to debug… haha. I tried to replicate your issue but was unable to. Are you using docker, kubernetes or something else? Would be helpful if you could post your docker-compose.yml, kubernetes object manifests or other relevant config.
