Unless you’re running a virtual GPU (and changing it often enough to remain anonymous), tracking pixels are pretty difficult to obfuscate (the exact thermal environment your PC is in will even effect timing).

And thanks to big tech this state of the art tracking is on essentially every website.

Clearing site data/private mode is a way to ask nicely that websites don’t track you, but user intention hasn’t been respected for around 3 decades by now.

With the same IP, CPU, GPU, and networkcard??

Easily fingerprintable

What about something like LVM cache? Would it be worth setting up an X% empty partition on the drive, just for empty space reasons?

I only personally have experience with jellyfin, but the docs of Emby look to support the same remote access as Plex (without the TURN server).

So essentially you can use a login instead of a server IP, but it does require port forwarding or upnp on your router - which you may already have enabled.

I mean containers make the networking pretty easy, everything beyond that is optional based on your threat model.

Same as hosting anything networked, you can do it easy or do it safe.

(but also wireguard is kinda an O(n) problem while exposing to wan is an O(1) problem - at least IT man hours wise)

Funny enough I’m in the “open it to the wan just practise basic web access hygiene” camp, I hope that makes me at least a little frothy

Beats frothing for a company, if I gotta froth

To be fair Plex also requires open ports (or worse upnp) to remotly stream at full quality, without transcoding.

But also benefits of both, reduced cost with easier remote setup, while simultaneously not being plex

No reason to connect jellyfin to any sort of local network, router will still hairpin for local connection.

With that setup its honestly more secure than 99% of IOT devices, and like 50% of routers.

edit: and if youre running it in the pentagon or something just toss authentication like keycloak in front of it, plus a bit of crowdsec/fail2ban and an IP whitelist, I’d be surprised if you’d even get an attack, much less one violating that strict of a threat models.

Got a link for the dev recommendation? I hadn’t heard about that

I think NVK is the default implimentation these days

I’m not at all experienced this stuff so sorry if this is obvious - but how is that different from hardware?

Its not like valve is reimbursing cash for the hardware after bought, theyre both just some materials (that can be sold elsewhere for cash) right?

Dont the cards have value?

Ive thought about trying this before, but do you have any experience with how to actually hook up the power supply?

Never thought breaking a drive was worth the risk, but theoretically you should be able to solder a buck converter to the laptops motherboard if the voltage requirements vary.

Rig up the 12v barrel adapter right to the laptops battery

I think you can use the service to remount using the fstab entries/options. (Like “mount /dev/disk/by-uuid/XXX” and it’ll automatically apply the options and mountpoint)

Arguably cleaner depending on your setup

Its crazy how walking into a corn field can feel like a Martian wasteland on the surface
