You should ask your instances admin(s) if they could investigate a bit. Maybe something is wrong with the instance.

Thank you! These are interesting.

For suggestions, I think it would be interesting to know how many pixels out of those I placed contributed to the final image (meaning the pixel was not overwritten at any point). Maybe you could even have another leaderboard based on that?

While personally I would have preferred to keep the EU mural for EU flags, I think you’re being way too dramatic about it. It’s just meaningless pixels on a meaningless canvas

Thanks. This is kinda important info so I’ve edited my initial comment.

They are not saying anything on why they are removing it.

Jellyfin is dropping HTTPS support with a future update[…]

What’s the source for this? I wasn’t able to find anything with a quick google search

I see everyone in this thread recommending a VPN or reverse proxy for accessing Jellyfin from outside the LAN. While I generally agree, I don’t see a realistic risk in exposing Jellyfin directly to the internet. It supports HTTPS and certificates nowadays, so there’s no need for outside SSL termination anymore. (See Edit 2)

In my setup, which I’ve been running for some time, I’ve port-forwarded only Jellyfin’s HTTPS port to eliminate the possibility of someone ending up on pure HTTP and sending credentials unencrypted. I’ve also changed the Jellyfin’s default port to a non-standard one to avoid basic port-scanning bots spamming login attempts. I fully understand that this falls into the security through obscurity category, but no harm in it either.

Anyone wanna yell at me for being an idiot and doing everything wrong? I’m genuinely curious, as the sentiment online seems to be that at least a reverse proxy is almost mandatory for this kind of setup, and I’m not entirely sure why.

Edit: Thank you everyone for your responses. While I don’t agree with everything, the new insight is appreciated.

Edit 2: I’ve been informed that infact the support for HTTPS will be removed in a future version. From v10.11 release notes:

Deprecation Notice: Jellyfin’s internal handling of TLS/SSL certificates and configuration in the web server will be removed in a future version. No changes to the current system have been made in 10.11, however future versions will remove the current system and instead will provide advanced instructions to configure the Kestrel webserver directly for this relatively niche usecase. We strongly advise anyone using the current TLS options to use a Reverse Proxy for TLS termination instead if at all possible, as this provides a number of benefits

What if a bad actor acquires one of these once popular tracker domains? Could they somehow take advantage of it? For example, what if they make the tracker advertise a large number of “fake” peers that serve malware instead of the actual files? I only have a crude understanding of how BitTorrent works, so I’m not sure what kinds of protections, if any, it has against this type of attack.

He would be the perfect host for the show

My use case is a bit different than yours but still worth mentioning, I think; I have Sharry running in Docker and it makes sharing and receiving files super easy. All downloads and uploads are resumable so they work well even in unstable networks.

I think this time the manufacturers will be pretty quick at adopting the new branding; if there’s two competing devices next to each other, one marked with “USB 3.2 Gen 2x2”, which no one understands, and other one with “USB 20Gbps” I think the latter will sell more.

Sure. I’m not recommending anything, just stating what has worked for me. For simple use cases, I think most of the DDNS services are pretty much the same anyway and it’s easy to switch to an another one if one stops working for some reason.

I’ve been using No-IP free plan for years without issues. Inputted the credentials to my routers DDNS client and then basically forgot about it. Free users need to confirm their account once a month via email but that’s just one click.

If your domain registrar happens to have an API to update DNS entries, you could implement DDNS yourself by writing a simple automated script to check the external IP (e.g. via ipify.org) and if it’s changed from the last check then call the API to update the DNS entries.

It’s still unclear if he’s allowed to use the logo and such. The national broadcaster Yle (which itself has a strict policy against advertising) allowed it in the national show and argued that (quote) “Windows 95 is no longer a protected trademark today. The product is hardly used by anyone anymore. Thus the name and the costume are allowed”

But EBU might have a different stance ofc

Good luck, because last time they tried to replace the Start menu with a new UI went so well…

IIRC this feature used to only be available in English locale and needed a registry hack to enable it on other locales. That might not be the case anymore

Lots of great recommendations in this thread. One I use and didn’t see mentioned yet is StreetPass. It automatically saves any Mastodon rel="me" verification links you come across while browsing. I’ve found it very useful for finding interesting accounts to follow
