Do you mean something link subdomain.domain.tld? Because I have that set up with namecheap

Was bought out by dotdash a few years ago. Been on a steady decline ever since. The old content is still there, so it still works as a reference, but the new stuff is not of the same quality

Serious eats 😢 RIP

This is true. Would probably be much easier technically and legally if they already own it, though.

That’s interesting. So they buy the domain on your behalf and then rent it out to you. Pretty cool concept

That said, I’ve owned a fair few domains and never had to deal with 3rd parties, so I’m not sure if the added security risk (however small) of them hijacking your domain is worth it. For me, at least. YMMV

What makes a registrar more privacy focused than another. Just had a read of their website, but couldn’t understand why they’re better for privacy than any other

even stuff like £ is unsupported.

Probably not an issue then…

You can just use ports as if you’re on a local network.

This is the bit I find confusing. Doesn’t Plex need that port to be open to the outside world?

Or is your setup only open to devices on your private tailscale network and therefore seeing it as local?

If that’s the case, I’ll need to see if tailscale can work with osmc, since that’s what I have running on my raspi behind my tv

Yes, there’s the one open port that is required. Otherwise your traffic gets routed through Plex servers and the streams are limited to pretty poor quality video

Tailscale is another one I’ve heard of but haven’t looked much into it.

This article put me off a bit. Seems like an unnecessarily complicated setup https://www.jjpdev.com/posts/plex-media-server-tailscale/

That racknerd price for a vps sounds too good to be true!

Are you guys not concerned about losing complete access to the internet if something drops on your server?

I realise these will be very rare cases, but shit happens sometimes, and always seems to happen at the worst possible moments.

What’s your recovery plan?

Edit to add that this is the reason I’m on nextdns… Make it someone else’s problem

Point taken about backups. I wouldn’t self host something like this without backups.

Backups are obviously a good idea, but it’s a pain in the ass having to restore your data. A disclaimer like this implies that restoring from backup will be a regular thing. That’s why I was curious about peoples experience with it. How frequently does it wipe your photos?

Is anyone using this? It looks great, but that disclaimer everywhere saying you shouldn’t use it concerns me.

If you use it, what is your experience?

Memory is not storage, so you would need to be logging what’s in memory, I guess. Not impossible, but also not trivial either.

Honestly I’m not sure how it could be done, but I’m sure it’s possible

This is possibly what’s happening. So a VPN is the only way to bypass this? That’s rather annoying.

Might look into getting a local sim

Main language is set to English

Main language is English, and I’m running calyxos, so if any os can change it, this one must be able to

I’m using Firefox with ublock and I have it in private mode by default

Chat apps are only part of it. It will force iOS and android to offer competing app market too.

The bridges need to decrypt your messages before encrypting them again to send them to you. This is done in memory, so it’s not impossible for your messages to be read by beeper, but quite difficult.

That said, self hosting will always be a safer option. It’s just not for everyone
