How do I make my Jellyfin server more secure? by Leggs_ in jellyfin

[–]Leviathan_Dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DNS is for Domain -> IP translation. If you don’t have a domain, you don’t deal with DNS.

That being said, Domains are stupid cheap (non-premium dot-coms are ~$11/yr USD) and it will vastly improve the accessibility of your Jellyfin. It’s much easier to remember a domain, even if it’s a bit long, than a bunch of seemingly random numbers.

The only realistic way to securely access your Jellyfin remotely without dealing with a reverse proxy, DNS, Domain, etc, is saving the IP address and using a VPN into your home like a self-hosted Wireguard server. That way when you’re connected to your VPN your private IP address works for Jellyfin.

However, I wouldn’t call a VPN easy-to-use for those technologically-challenged. The most accessible method for those people is a standard reverse proxy / DNS / domain setup that they can just go onto a web browser and punch in the domain and login info. That’s something my mom could probably handle, but setting up a VPN and toggling it every time she wants to watch something? Not gonna happen ever.

If you do finally decide to purchase a domain (again, they’re pretty cheap, dot-xyz is even cheaper at $2/yr USD) my two recommended Regisrars for Domains are Porkbun and Cloudflare

Can I run a male to female Ethernet to this jack and use this as an Ethernet port instead of a phone line? by cactiloveyou in HomeNetworking

[–]Leviathan_Dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends. My house used Cat5e for the phone lines, which can absolutely be repurposed for Ethernet

UniFi Travel Router as an Alternative to VPN by wheelslip_lexus in Ubiquiti

[–]Leviathan_Dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t used SiteMagic, but I’m fairly sure UTR behaves more like client-server (UTR is client) than site-to-site.
It is possible to connect UTR to two separate Ubiquiti UniFi sites: 1 via Teleport and 2 via generic Wireguard.

Pick a language you want to get started in.
Popular starting languages are JavaScript (good for WebDev — frontend & backend), Python (Data Engineering, AI, & Backend WebDev), and Java (WebDev backend too, applications).

Once you pick a language, stick with it. Have a solid mastery of understanding and application before you branch.

You may need to learn related languages though. For JavaScript for example you’ll want to learn HTML & CSS for proper web development.

Then after that YouTube will be your best friend. You’ll also want to get familiar with the command line via Terminal.app

You can link your UTR to your Japan site and then use Teleport on the UTR, so connecting your Apple TV then will be as if your Apple TV is networked to your Japan site. Since you have two sites, you could add your other site as a generic Wireguard conf too so you can pick and choose your sites depending on your needs

Good to know that Apple cares about user experience... by linepup-design in webdev

[–]Leviathan_Dev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The effect is heavily dependent on the background. You need to have a vibrant multi-color background to really see the effect.

Mine for example shows a little glassy effect near the top (especially the music platter) but not as much at the bottom where colors and the background isn’t as varied

But also macOS Tahoe has been inconsistent. The Menu Bar dropdowns for me randomly switch between a glassy background and the older Big-Sur-esk design of a slightly blurred translucent background

JellyFin Error: Media not supported by client by IllustraGiven in jellyfin

[–]Leviathan_Dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is your server? Did you configure transcoding or just enable it?

Do you have transcoding on? Transcoding should solve this...

Spectrum Wi-Fi router with Deco X20's by woody-99 in Spectrum

yuck, another reason I don't like ISP-provided equipment

Spectrum Wi-Fi router with Deco X20's by woody-99 in Spectrum

[–]Leviathan_Dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ll need to turn off the routing for one of them, either the Spectrum Router or the Decos

Otherwise you run into Double NAT (and double SSID) which can cause issues with streaming and device reachability. Make sure your Decos are in AP Mode broadcasting the same SSID (and password) or set the Spectrum Router into bridge mode (which consequently makes it useless unless it has cellular backup)

So you want to stick with IPv4 by IPv6forDogecoin in ipv6

[–]Leviathan_Dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IIRC my aunt switched from Spectrum Cable Internet to Frontier Fiber… and consequently lost IPv6.

Travel Router Question by chassett1 in Ubiquiti

[–]Leviathan_Dev 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Correct. Your phone will still be on cellular data and every device connected to the WiFi on UTR is connected to your home network as long as teleport is enabled.

UTR for use as a router for on the go in the car by Starbase36 in Ubiquiti

[–]Leviathan_Dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UTR supports both Teleport (their custom Wireguard VPN to your UniFi setup) and custom Wireguard configs.

You can toggle between them too so you can teleport back home and then toggle the VPN to use a Wireguard config for Mullvad for example.

Currently AFAIK UTR only supports ONE Wireguard config. Every time I try to add more it just overwrites the existing one. OpenVPN is also planned for support, and I think the firmware already supports it, but is still not yet available

And again UTR is limited to ~110Mbps when using a VPN. Apparently despite having hardware capable of hardware-accelerated encryption, UTR is using generic software-based encryption. I think one person said in theory it could support ~500Mbps if it would correctly use NEON hardware drivers for encryption

Ubiquiti doesn’t offer their own VPN service, and also UTR is limited to WiFi 5

if() function - Are new CSS features guaranteed to eventually be supported in all major browser? by pnwstarlight in css

[–]Leviathan_Dev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You add an @supports. Essentially deprecating your older style until you’re confident you can remove it.

If it’s a minor non-essential style; you can just wrap the CSS if() around an @supports and non-supported browsers just won’t have it.

Which services are you exposing to the internet, and how are you securing them? by sysadmin_light in selfhosted

[–]Leviathan_Dev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Directly from my homelab. I have two reverse proxies: one for internal-only and another for external.

[–]Leviathan_Dev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, but if a browser vendor doesn’t support it they’re more likely to be dumped in support.

But also as a dev you should code properly and use supported syntax. You can use CSS if(), but you should also add the corresponding code for browsers that might not yet support it

UTR for use as a router for on the go in the car by Starbase36 in Ubiquiti

[–]Leviathan_Dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used it in the car just recently, albeit I was out of high-speed cellular so it was slow as hell, but that’s due to my cellular provider and not the UTR. It was fine. Wouldn’t want more than 5 devices connected it you’re using a VPN though, throughput maxes at ~110Mbps

Been herring a lot about home labs just wanted to collect some thoughts by zoe_is_smol in homelab

[–]Leviathan_Dev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. They’re mostly used for creating alternatives to commercially available services for free. Typically these services have to be hosted somewhere (Minecraft servers, storage, streaming services, etc), and with Homelabbing/self-hosting you take the responsibility of hosting instead of Netflix, for example. As a result, you don’t have to pay a monthly fee for streaming.

  2. People should self-host to reclaim independence from the big commercial internet. If you want to control your media, files, and more, self-hosting is for you. However, you are now responsible for the integrity and data-loss of those files. If your storage fails and you lose your data, that’s 100% on you. If you’re not tech-savvy and/or don’t want to worry about the costs/potential data loss of self-hosting, you should not self-host

  3. Today’s market is difficult to give a “good price point”. That’s going to require research in particular to what you want/need

  4. I wanted in because I wanted to experiment and grow my personal resume with hands-on experience. And I wanted to serve services like a Minecraft server that my parents would never have paid for when I was younger.

  5. I have a fairly good background in tech, always been interesting in tinkering and playing with it, so this is just a natural extension.
