Yea I haven’t tried Pangolin myself - looks a bit bloated for my tastes, but I have tried rinetd across Tailscale and it worked brilliantly (very simple conf file), and I’ve done reverse ssh before (using autossh) which was a bit fiddly. frp does look promising though, just as a VPS<->home bridge.
I mean, anything with a web server can have vulnerabilities. Just look at the LastPass breach where hackers got in through an employee’s exposed Plex library.
This video addresses many of the concerns of hosting stuff in public, and details a way (and some tools) to do it relatively securely. (There’s always a risk there’ll be a zero-day vulnerability in a web application like Jellyfin, but you can mitigate against them if you use the right strategies/tools, and you’re vigilant enough.)
Since you’re on cgnat, you can set up Pangolin on a VPS, or Tailscale–>rinetd–>Tailscale tunnel, also on a VPS. (Apparently frp is another similar solution, with p2p proxying.)
MURDERER!

Oh wow, there’s a name I ain’t heard in a while.
Fantastic rebuttal kindergartener, you convinced everyone.
Yes I read it when it first came out, and again after a recent update. It’s very opinionated and I remain unconvinced the criticisms amounts to very much. At the least, certainly not to the point where words like nazi and fascist should be thrown around!
For example, I dislike Yarin’s and Lunduke’s politics but I did at least watched Yarin’s interview. (Did you? It was boring, and entirely tech-oriented, nothing controversial at all.) But… trial by association I guess. And anyway, it’s not the article itself I have a problem with - it’s the borrowing of second-hand opinions as if they should be your own. Sometimes, it’s prudent to reserve judgement (until ‘verifying every single thing’), or criticise specific ideas, without leaping to ad hominem per consortium.
I find it wild in this day and age how questions like (“why do WE hate” such and such) are being asked in the first place, then answered through one person’s opinion piece mindlessly linked from all angles. Please, for gawd sake, stop listening to random fedditors/redditors about what opinions you should adopt!
IMHO (<- there’s a novel approach), the criticisms of FUTO are just as biased and political as FUTO themselves, and everyone should be sceptical of bias from all sides. Apparently, focusing on ‘privacy, decentralization, and right to repair’ - is being too political, and they’re not allowed to have a philosophical take on what they imagine successful open source to be. (Incidentally, I’m not necessarily on FUTOs side, just pissed off at the nature of social media to obviate the need of critical thinking and make everything black or white.)
Is this really much of an issue? They provide documentation and a repository of scripts for working with WG for instance. And I’ve been using this docker container for many years without issue.
You maybe right about the authoritarian part, but I guarantee you they don’t know a thing about technology - evidenced by their unwillingness to listen to experts on matters like the Online Safety Act or on trying to outlaw e2ee. Starmer made Peter Kyle Secretary of State for Science, who said “For everyone thinking of using a VPN, verifying your age keeps a child safe … so let’s not try find a way around, just prove your age, make the internet safer for children.” Authoritarian certainly is an adjective to describe these people, but so also is clueless.
Nah. The monarchy absolutely is not part of our identity. More importantly, they don’t have any part in making decisions - parliament and the current govt. do.
We have some croaky institutions (the Lords) and a stupid voting system (first past the post - just like the U.S) but the monarchy is just a figurehead with some unfair land ownership laws - but the monarchy itself has no authority on this. Today’s bs comes down to heir Starmer’s cluelessness/arrogance.

Spent most of that time in a HP Microserver N54L Windows 2012 R2 server with DrivePool, Scanner and SnapRAID. Now they’re in a custom build Proxmox in RAIDZ1. Have no intention of retiring them. :)

BiglyBT (aka Vuze previously Azureus) has a decentralised chat feature akin to IRC. It’s not very active but it’s technically very interesting and still working. Rooms can be based on per-torrent, language, region, general purpose and even custom.
It’s a crying shame more people didn’t adopt AceStream. It functioned exceptionally well, when the streaming sites put up links (hashes basically) instead of just http5 web streams. The fact it wasn’t open source probably didn’t help, but it did have a modified VLC client and was truly P2P.
TERF island or the 4th Reich
I get wanting to boycott Israelis due to what their government is doing, but you do realise blocking (the good-ish) half of America is gonna seriously hamper your ability to complete torrents? And if you think the UK is full of TERFs, you probably need to verify your news sources and statistical acumen. You shouldn’t always tar with the same brush…
Aside from this, on a technical merit this is gonna have absolutely zero effect - because in a torrent, you’re part of a mesh - those bits will instantly funnel through peers one way or another, and you’ll never convince enough of the swarm to have an impact. Presumably, the ‘content’ you’re torrenting aligns with your personal ethics anyway, and you’re not spreading hate. So why bother?
Complete and utter waste of time.
WTF! How did it hit target already? Hope there wasn’t any bot farming involved…
Otherwise, pleasantly surprised!
Damned if they do, damned if they don’t?
Are people not capable of forming their own opinion these days?
I’ve been happily using FF since v1 and the only issues I have every now and again is I may need to update my CustomCSSforFx - with my chosen customisations (i.e. keeping the tabs on the damn bottom). I regularly have 1000+ tabs loaded at any time (with Auto Tab Discard), uBlock Origin has never failed on me, and everything just works.
So, I really couldn’t give a monkeys what this clickbait article says. I’m not saying Mozilla is perfect, but when people complain about the privacy stuff, they’ve also forgotten FF is one of the only browsers that lets you turn that shit off.
The latest hysteria about FF adding Perplexity AI as a bloody search shortcut - no different to Wikipedia(!) - tells me all I need to know about other people’s opinions.
They opened it to the internet - that’s the big difference (and the topic at hand). Security is a multi-layered thing, but if your weakest point is a gaping hole, the rest doesn’t mean much. To my point - assuming Jellyfin ain’t gonna have vulnerabilities even when you’re fully up-to-date, is foolhardy.
