I have no thoughts, but Matrix isn’t only text based.

You should of course try different clients first to see if it’s viable, I don’t know if it’s gotten good yet.

Voice chat should work quite well now though, I think.

That’s true, reading your comment reminded me of SUBURBIA!!! Definitely not easy to fix that.

Certainly a good place to start with better zoning as you say.

Luckily major european countries that have well designed streets publish a lot of their found research, it just has to start being adopted in the more car-centric places.

The US as an example is pretty far gone, but if the major cities went fully in the correct direction, it probably would only take a few decades to look completely different (amsterdam is decent proof of this).

Assuming you mean commericial grade hauler trucks and such, I absolutely agree with all your points.

Oh yes, I mean commercial hauler trucks, etc. The ones that do their job well of course. Of course theres other types of trucks for maintenece, last mile deliveries, etc.

(Side note, europe has nice delivery vans)

Definitely not the things the average american has started calling a “truck”, which has 5mpg and is used solely for one person to go to and from an office job, etc, never hauling anything.

And plus 1 for bikes, idk about motorbikes though, sadly they seem like death traps because of how fast you can go, one mistake by you or someone else on the road and you could see black.

Postgres or sqlite are the only ones I ever consider nowadays.

Seems obvious to pick a new transit paradigm for personal cars, obviously trucks can stay.

Also in the current era, coal plants already have a good replacement: nuclear. At least for bigger countries, but most are shutting down rather than improving. This might be (hopefully) starting to change though in recent times.

Also I don’t know what fusion power is, I shall be on wikipedia now. Good day sir.

To one feature of cloudflare, maybe.

Not to mention how apparently 2.5 and 5ghz bands suffer on the Flint 3 just to get Wifi 7.

Hope no one’s buying them (though I imagine a lot of people see 3 > 2 and blindly trust it’s better in all cases).

Flint 3 probably would’ve been better as a different product line. As it currently stands, It seems a bit misleading to attach it to the Flint 2 when so much is different at its core.

To explain ur downvotes: git != github

Looking at you Flint 3 DOWNGRADE!!!

It’d be nice if that header was default for all users, unfortunately it can (and has, probably) end up being just another data point for uniquely identifying you.

Probably will never be default since 99% people use Chrome, and we know who owns that…

Extensions seem the only way without making your traffic more unique.

Maybe easier to setup because routers that support vpns come with nice-ish web uis.

That said, if you have a server (pc, pi, etc), setting up wireguard with wg-easy is mostly painless (comes with a nice web ui), so there is no reason to replace your router in this case!

Instead of replacing a router, I’d prefer buying a pi anyways.

Unless you want to route all outbound traffic through a vpn with zero config on devices, I can’t see why you’d replace a router.

Final note: most people prefer hosting a vpn on a server, even if their router supports it as far as I’m aware at least (edit: this might be erong judging from the rest of the comments saying they use their router).

(I don’t wanna be that guy, but nothing you said sounds like an inconvenience to me. I say this because using proton > google isn’t an inconvenience, just a choice… etc, I guess installing an os could be an inconvenience but not really, they make it super easy nowadays. Anyways didn’t wanna poop on ur parade or put you down, but ur post might scare people into trying alternatives, when it’s really not thst different from what they have now, just better)

Sounds weird they are mixing work and pleasure on the same machine, but anyways +1 for dual boot.

VMs haven’t been a great experience for me if you need to get real work done.

I’ve been dual booting on one drive for years, never experienced any issues. Heard doing it on separate drives is even better though.

Probably extra points if your linux partitions are encrypted.

I mostly found it funny they felt the neet to upgrade from mint on a family members computer to anything else, because I can’t imagine mint not already working fine for them.

I fail to see the benefit in “Upgrading” to kubuntu (or anything else) in this case.

But yes u right hehe arch btw but also mby mint btw 🤔

Upgrade Mint to Kubuntu 💀

Hehe yep, that’s a good takeaway and the same as what I think.

Thank you too, i enjoyed this discussion.

No problemo.

Thanks for pointing out the reverse proxy comment. I think I was wrong to say simply putting jellyfin behind a reverse proxy will increase your security.

The benefits may only be minute or non-existent if you don’t use the reverse proxy for handling other stuff like HTTPS (and redirects to https, etc), restricting access or adding extra authentication requirements (mainly https).

It may also be good to note that Jellyfins docs explicitly do not recommend directly exposing jellyfin ports to the internet (a reverse proxy or using a vpn are recommended instead).

Still I will continue to feel safer always using a reverse proxy when I expose to the internet (maybe my misconceptions).

Your SSH setup is good.

ssh is a very resilient piece of software so I doubt with your setup you would encounter any issues.

Enforcing use of a VPN to get into your network before being able to ssh into a machine is mostly just an extra layer of defense, though using a non-standard port, only allowing key logins and disabling root user login are all layers of defense you have already added.

I thinj you’ll be fine, but if you are worried, you could setup a VPN or alternatively something like Fail2Ban if you notice any brute-force attacks (which may be unlikely with the use of a non-standard port).

What I meant with the Jellyfin question was kind of, how is having it exposed via a reverse proxy different from exposing its port right away? Is it because the only allowed connection would be HTTPS/encrypted etc, maybe?

It’s down to how secure the software is really.

Jellyfins (and other software) don’t use really secure web servers for getting themselves accessible via the network.

Caddy (a reverse proxy, for example) is made to be exposed to the internet and so it is more resilient and safe to use.

So putting the resilient software (a good reverse proxy) infront of Jellyfin (or most other software) simply increases your security by having the more safe web server be the one interfacing with end users.

Have fun on your journey!
