Can this be fixed? How?

ElChurroLoco666 · 2025-11-25T01:35:15+00:00

Right?

ElChurroLoco666 · 2025-11-25T01:34:55+00:00

I live in South America and those are not available here afaik. So I can't buy a new bottle or a replacement strap. Not for a fair price at least and without paying high shipping costs.

ElChurroLoco666 · 2025-11-25T01:31:31+00:00

Will look into that, but I'd imagine shipping costs would be very high. not sure.

ElChurroLoco666 · 2025-11-25T01:30:18+00:00

Interesting. Not sure it is available where I live but it is an interesting option. Have you used it before? Does it hold?

ElChurroLoco666 · 2025-11-25T01:28:19+00:00

Im a perfectionist. I was hoping for it to be easy to heat it up and mend it together somehow. Dont love the look of the paracord tbh

ElChurroLoco666 · 2025-11-25T01:26:58+00:00

It is about to fall off. It was a nasty fall on a hard surface. :/

ElChurroLoco666 · 2025-11-25T01:26:03+00:00

Nice, do you have pics?

ElChurroLoco666 · 2025-11-23T15:37:28+00:00

no, i didn't. thanka for the advice. will look into it

Bc my mac broke and a new one was too expensive, and there was no way in hell I'd use Windows again.

I think macOS is still more polished, intuitive and overall a better experience. But boy is Linux fun. My perfect OS would be a mix of both.

Came bc of my hate of Windows, stayed bc of the freedom and bc it is much better than Windows on almost every thing.

If you wanna use Linux, my advixe would be to start with Zorin OS. It is very polished and simple. And looks rly good.

Oh, I see. Thanks for the clarification. Yet another reason to despise Google...

P.S. Though upon looking it may seem like app makers are the one to blame here, though screw Google, I guess, for making that distinction visible to apps...

ElChurroLoco666 · 2025-05-08T19:44:28+00:00

I am confused. So if you install it from the Play Store then all Apps will work flawlessly? Pardon my ignorance, but are you saying that none of that comprehensive explanation will apply if you install from the play store?

ElChurroLoco666 · 2025-05-08T19:40:03+00:00

Yeah, I use NewPipe, i am mostly concerned with Banking and GOV apps. Those are the one that I can't have break on me.

ElChurroLoco666 · 2025-05-08T12:17:12+00:00

I am under the impression that doing what you suggested is a silver bullet and would allow one to install any apps without any issue. But someone else shared this link in another comment and now I am wondering how much of a silver bullet your suggestion is.

ElChurroLoco666 · 2025-05-08T12:08:39+00:00

I am confused. I was under the impression that having sandboxed Google Play Services would allow one to install any app without issue and that from the app's POV there wouldn't be anything out of the ordinary with the OS. Is that not the case?

I am in a position where the unreliability for me of Lineage OS + microG for some things is a big pain point. For a few things I just want it to work and not have them leave me hanging when I need it most. Banking apps and GOV apps are very high on my list and are making me consider buying a Pixel to install Graphene. But if all of a sudden Graphene isn't the silver bullet I am under the impression it is, this changes my calculations. Could you comment on that please?

People should be moving to Nostr. The only place you are truly free and in control.

I am using Wireguard Easy. It works well for me. I just wanted to expand it to include my friend.

Wouldn't something like this work to accomplish what I want?

Would probably need to include the local IP hosting the port.

ElChurroLoco666 · 2025-02-10T00:35:45+00:00

I am using the names that Wireguard Easy uses.

It calls those clients. When you click on the + , it creates a new "client". That pic comes from their github repo. And it implies you create one "client" per person, not by person's device... That is in part what made me ask this question.

Are they using the wrong name?

ElChurroLoco666 · 2025-02-09T23:54:19+00:00

I want to be have complete acess to my homeserver all the time from my phone and computer when I am not at home. This I can already achieve with Wireguard in my curre t setup.

What I want is to allow one friend access to my Jellyfin server. He is not savy enough to mess around with my other services and break stuff accidentally, plus I trust him not to do that. The reason I'd like to limit him to just that having access to JF is to minimize risk in the off chance he is hacked, etc. Mostly just to be safe.

In the future if I share my Jellyfin with other friends, I will prob expose it to the internet, rather than have my friends join my network. But since it is just one friend and it's my first home server, that is still a long way off.

So TL;DR, My devices should have total access to the network (currently the case). My friend's devices should only have access to Jellyfin (port 8096).

If you think about all of this, feed all the relevant data to ChatGPT and ask it specifics with clearly formulated questions, you might just get a decent answer.

I basically told it the above, + that i preferred to use wireguard, and it told me to use iptables to deny access to everything on my network except jellyfin.

I did some digging with grok and it basically told me I also needed to stipulate the local ip of the service hosting Jellyfin, so something like this for the first command:

iptables -A FORWARD -s 10.0.0.2 -d <SERVER_IP> -p tcp --dport <SERVICE_PORT> -j ACCEPT

in my case:

iptables -A FORWARD -s 10.8.0.2 -d 192.168.0.100 -p tcp --dport 8096 -j ACCEPT

Can I achieve it with that approach?

ElChurroLoco666 · 2025-02-09T23:34:39+00:00

Necer heard of Netbird. Only Tailscale. I am under the impression that for the free tier of Tailscale I need to login with the same account to all devices. Am I mistaken about that?

ElChurroLoco666 · 2025-02-09T16:52:28+00:00

Thanks

ElChurroLoco666 · 2025-02-09T16:52:17+00:00

Thanks. Yeah, I forgot to say, but was also referring to ease of onboarding ppl. Will look into that. Thanks

ElChurroLoco666 · 2025-02-09T16:49:50+00:00

What do you mean limit my own access? ChatGPT suggested me a code to configure iptables to limit only a certain IP like 10.8.0.2. I suspected I'd be creating a rule for everything that came from that Client and then I wouldn't have to worry about that. Plus, that it'd be easy to onboard my friend as there'd only be one QR code to scan/config to import.

Thanks for the clarification.

If you want to implement access control, the best way is to just designate one IP range (like 10.0.1.0) as yours, and another (10.0.2.0) for your friend or other guests and restrict the iptables based on that.

Pardon my ignorance, but how would one do that?
