  • Yeah that’s a good point. The joke is mostly for my own enjoyment or any random user who happens to forget the jellyfin. subdomain.

    I have had a few hits to /wp-admin, but cloudflare actually blocks those for me (I don’t use a tunnel but I do use them for the domain name which helps a bit). I might just shut down the main page then.


  • While technically not strictly necessary, it adds more robust authentication methods, and makes it easier to build out other apps if you want to in the future without having to re-do the sign-in process for all of your users. You can have things like 2fa and other things that make it harder for bots to get in and easier for users to stay in. It also makes it easier to keep track of login attempts and notice compromised accounts.

    Edit: There are also alternatives like authelia that may be easier to implement. I don’t really trust most web apps to be ultra secure with internet-facing sign-in pages so it just feels like “good practice” to hide behind an auth service whose sole purpose is to be written and built securely. Plus once you learn how to set up fail2ban with an auth service, there will be no need to re-learn or re-implement it if you add a 2nd app/service. Very modular and makes testing and adding new things much easier.

    Another benefit is that it has a nice GUI. I can look at logins, add services, stuff like that without touching config files which will be nice for those who don’t like wading through text files to change config.









  • I was rocking an S22 for a while too and almost bought one of these. I have up on the S22 because of a few restrictions related to android versions.

    Now I’m using the razr 2024 and LET ME TELL YOU. It’s so good. It’s a vertical flip phone but it has a square screen on the exterior. Now let me tell you my secret. I never open the phone. I never need to. Almost. But it makes the phone a mega-compact. It’s not perfect but it’s the closest thing to a “small smartphone” that I’ve been able to achieve and better for me than something like the S22. I highly recommend trying it out. It’s also very cheap.

    Don’t get the fancy version, just the standard razr 2024.






  • Yeah I actually know about that. Pop’s whole shtick of versatile tiling and workspace management doesn’t really benefit me at all, and I reckon the new DE will heavily feature that as well. That’s not necessarily a downside, but it doesn’t really make me want to use it over anything else either. What I do know is that KDE is great, I love using it, I love using its apps, and many of its apps don’t work quite right on POP as it is.

    However, I AM interested in Cosmic’s support of nvidia hardware, variable refresh rate, and support for obscure nonsensical monitor setups (which I have haha). So I think I’m going to give it a try, and hope it isn’t worse than gnome. I’m not particularly a fan of gnome, but it does have some cool plugins and wide support.




  • Thank you so much, that was very informative. Tumbleweed is looking more attractive the more I think about it. Or bazzite. I’m going to trial run both of those plus Endeavor OS.

    At the very least I want any Ubuntu derivitive to be as good as pop OS, which means no snap and mildly acceptable package maintenance, so that rules out a few options. Pop OS does seem to be one of the best Ubuntu based distros for Nvidia support, and already checks a lot of my boxes so I may even make the decision to stay on this until I can build a red team PC for much easier hardware support (which I already planned on doing eventually).
