Mama told me not to come.

She said, that ain’t the way to have fun.

  • I love Jellyfin and use it. I also think the security issues are very serious and it’s irresponsible to not fix them. At the very least they can make a new API and give users the option to enable or disable the insecure one until clients get updated. But they don’t.

    I’ve decided to remove public access to my Jellyfin server until it’s resolved, though it’s still accessible behind my VPN.



  • Some notes:

    • syncthing - a little complex, and the file format isn’t flat files, but they have a FUSE driver you can use if you want “flat” files; it’s wicked fast at syncing data
    • OCIS/OpenCloud - default file format isn’t flat, but there is an experimental POSIX driver to get that flat file layout, in case you prefer that for backups
    • Pydio - don’t know much about it, but it seems designed for large, clustered deployments

    I’m playing with OCIS/OpenCloud and it seems like a good fit. I’m mostly holding off until I can figure out which to use (leaning toward OpenCloud).







  • Sure. I do run some things on the host, but I do default to containers unless I have a good reason to avoid them. Containers make it really easy to move to a new piece of hardware, and I want my disaster recovery process to be as close to:

    1. set up new device
    2. restore data
    3. copy down container configs
    4. start containers

    Some UPSs communicate over the network, and if that’s what you have, containers are a fantastic solution. If you have a USB or serial (??) one, then yeah, maybe the host will give less trouble, just make sure to not forget to document the setup and config.


  • all new posts and comments inside that community will be mirrored to your instance

    And that’s my biggest issue w/ Lemmy. It seems to scale okay, provided you have enough users to make all that traffic worthwhile. However, I’m unlikely to actually self-host since I really don’t want a copy of literally everything I sub to. Ideally, I could host my own authentication server and only the communities I host (which would probably be 0), and I’d just fetch whatever I needed from wherever it’s hosted.
