Even with your clarification, I think I touched on that. Steam isn’t trying to push companies to develop for Linux, instead they are trying to make Linux more compatible with games. That’s why they’ve talked wine and turned it into a very game specific thing called proton.

If they wanted to push people to develop for Linux, they wouldn’t put so much time and effort into developing something that removes that need

Simply put, they don’t need to. Linux might be a tiny percentage of the market but thanks largely to steam deck it is growing, which means it’s starting to become more worth it for companies to make sure their game works on it.

Secondly, thanks to proton, some games don’t even need to be modified to support Linux or the steam deck. I play plenty of games that are listed as unplayable or unverified on my steam deck, and sometimes it is listed that way because of one or two minor things that haven’t broken the game for me.

And lastly, as every major company has found out one by one, it’s worth it for them to pay the 30% to get access to steam users.

I do vaguely remember something about it getting changed, but yeah, as you said unless you’re sharing it with a bunch of people, it’s probably not enough to trigger anything on their side anyway

I think theres a nice variety of methods out there now that there’s no “one right way” to do it which I think is great compared to just a few years ago where your only real options were a reverse tunnel or CloudFlare tunnels

Why would you need an expensive switch for CF tunnels??

It bypasses the switch and forms a tunnel directly to the machine and you don’t need to change any configuration on the switch

Both options can expose any service as long as the machine has internet

first your questions

Is the tunnel solution appropriate for jellyfin?

Yes but also no. the tldr is It will work, but video streaming is against CloudFlare rules. I ran this way for about 2 years with Plex just for my own use, so for about 15 hours a week on 480p and I never got my service suspended, but I’ve heard stories of others getting suspended… So just know it’s a risk

I suppose it’s OK for vaultwarden as there isnt much data being transfered?

That’s a good use of tunnels

Would it be better to run nginx proxy manager for everything or can I run both of the solutions?

You can definitely run both solutions (tunnel points to npm, npm towards to all other services), and it saves you setting up tunnels for each service

Now for my 2 cents

As others have suggested, tailscale funnel is a valid option. A reverse proxy using a VPS is also a valid option. And as I pointed out, doing the CloudFlare tunnel is an option if you’re willing to accept the risk.

My current setup is using a free Oracle VPS with a small nginx docker container forwarding all port 80 and 443 traffic through a tailscale. On the other end is a nginx proxy manager docker container that points to all my services across the network. I have my CloudFlare details configured in nginx proxy manager to generate a wildcard SSL certificate that I apply to all my local services

Inside the network, I use adguard to redirect the domain to the local LAN IP of the nginx proxy manager server to avoid traffic going through the internet.

Then all you need to do is point the domain on CloudFlare dns to the Oracle server, and you’ll have several layers of separation between the internet and your local LAN , as well as SSL certs both internally and externally on any services you share

It might not be the most elegant setup, but I share my Plex server (as well as about 30 other things) with several other people and can handle multiple 1080p streams going through it without any issue and it’s been nice and stable for over a year without any issues

So without even reading the article you stated something incorrect as if it was fact?

He will release it in 2 weeks, along with that healthcare plan that’s coming in 2 weeks

Samsung messages was using RCS since 2012… Years before Google messages adopted it.

There are others out there that use it but call it by different names like “advanced messaging”, “SMS+” etc

Google was the first to add e2e encryption and push it hard though, but if you send a RCS message from Google messages to Samsungs messages app, it won’t have e2e, and most likely will be the same with messaging Apple.

But given how much Apple have fought to make it hard (or at least inconvenient) to message between them, and shut down any apps that made messaging between Apple and Android better, this is a big step for Apple

Many years ago I had a Facebook account under my real name, and they blocked it and told me to verify … I did everything they asked and they wouldn’t accept it… I recreated it under a fake name (very obvious it’s fake since it uses a celeb name) and have been using it for messaging a couple of friends for like a decade now with no issue

That sounds like the start of a horror movie

It’s got romance, action, comedy, fantasy, safe for kids and families… Covers most groups

You can do this pretty easily using asterisk and then just point your VoIP clients to it’s IP address

But…

Whatever you do, unless you’re an expert with network security, don’t leave it on its default port if you’ll expose it to the internet.

You’ll have that many bots trying to get in that it’ll DDoS you within a few hours of setting it up. Even if you have it on a different port, you’ll have lots of bots trying to get in.

If you ever see those “unlimited international calls” cards sold in third world countries for like $5-10, those are mostly hacked VoIP systems that have accounts or access to a phone line

This looks great, I don’t suppose you plan on a pre-made docker container?

Given the company is worth over $100b I don’t even think something this value would be mentioned to the board, let alone concern them when they just bought a potential president for cheap

For a bit of context for those not too familiar with CDN stuff. My web server hosts about 20 small business websites. None are heavy on images or video or anything else. Most sites have well under 1k visitors a day, some are under 100.

Each month CloudFlare CDN saves me between 40-60gb of traffic which is nothing my server couldn’t handle, but over a year is ~600gb in saved data so it adds up

If you had a Lemmy instance with even just 100 active users, with all the images and videos and all the federated background communications, that would add up extremely quickly.

It’s a shitty situation that’s causing mods and users alike a lot of frustration and might be a bit before it’s sorted.

Unfortunately I think this is something that will need to be dealt with Federation wide before it’s under control… But even then it’ll still add a lot of extra ongoing work to the mods of instances and communities just to clean up anything that gets through

It’s not just this community, or even just Lemmy… Mastodon and other Federation services all struggling with the same issue at the moment

Oh… I misunderstood that part then, I thought that part of the order was still in place. That’s not as bad for him. My hope is that the monitor digs up a lot more dirt in that time and hands it over, like they did a month or so back

I’m no expert by any means but I think once he’s kicked out of NY, it’s going to be pretty difficult for him to get back in.

He also has the court appointed monitor for the next 3 years which he already complained is costing him money (by stopping him from committing more fraud).

On top of that, banks will think twice before doing business with him in the future making it very difficult for him to make money without risking what he already has

While I agree that it should have been much more, I think (well more of a hope) that the long term damage this will do will cost him and his family far more than if he never committed fraud in the first place… Then again, he’s shown an amazing ability to avoid consequences this far
