Just for my own education, if you don’t mind - how were you able to tell someone was hammering on the port if it was closed? Would fail2ban have been an option to stop them?
Haha okay, thanks! And I’d just forward ports 80 and 443 from the router to ports 80 and 443 on the Pi’s internal IP address in the router settings, right?
Thanks for the tip! I’ll back the refresh rate off to be safe.
I’m not sure I entirely understand your concern about putting Jellyfin on the internet. A large part of my interest in selfhosting is being able host my own music library, my own cloud storage, etc, and access it as an alternative to Spotify or Google Drive. Doesn’t that inherently mean that they need to be on the internet, if I want to be able to access them when I’m away from home?
My goal has been to find a way to do that safely, but if that’s not possible, that’s good to know too, so I don’t keep trying to do the impossible.
I just want to be able to figure out how to configure my system to be able to safely expose a single service for my use away from home. Because I’d like to eventually expand from Jellyfin to Nextcloud and Vaultwarden as well, but I know I’m not there yet
Thank you! What is the most beginner-friendly way to do that?
I’ve been trying to figure this all out for so long, but it feels like every time I overturn one stone I discover there’s another setting or program I need to configure that I didn’t know about
Oof, that sucks. Ballot initiatives have been huge for progressive victories. It’s how Michigan legalized cannabis and put abortion rights in the state constitution. It’s a shame they aren’t everywhere.
It happened here in Michigan a few years ago. It took a ballot initiative, but it’s made a positive difference - it broke the Republican gerrymandered grip on the legislature
I read it a couple years ago, but Doppelgänger by Naomi Klein. It did such a good job helping me understand what happened with the conspiracy mirror world that rose up during Covid.
More recently? Yes, You Are Trans Enough by Mia Violet helped me come to understand myself a lot better.
Getting qualified as an electrician is not a simple undertaking. That would be beginning an entirely different career path. Not to dissuade from it, but it’s not the kind of thing you can just do on the side like tending bar.
It’s also worth considering that many people change career paths entirely, even after getting degrees in one field. A bachelors degree, more than anything, demonstrates that you are able to be taught and you can complete a long term, self directed project. Exactly what you get a degree in matters, but maybe not as much as you’d think, especially if you broaden your studies with taking a minor, or volunteering, or doing internships.
Yeah, I’m going to echo the other comment - I don’t think doctors should ever be able to deny trans people healthcare. If it’s something out of their expertise, a referral might make sense. But right now there’s a lot of movement towards denying us healthcare, and I don’t think we should be giving that side any more excuses for their bigotry.
