Yep, that’s why I call that a tradeoff. Far from perfect and yet so much better than nothing.

Pros:

• Likely cuts 99.99% of attacks.
• Nothing to do on client’s end.

Cons:

• Whitelisting must be updated everytime the client address changes.
• Not 100% bulletproof as operators (notably for mobile networks) can NAT multiple connections behind a single publicly addressable IPv4 address.
• Also IP addresses can be spoofed but I doubt that would be a major concern here.

No, not for remote access over the internet.

For a remote and non-technical user I would say IP whitelisting offers a decent tradeoff.

On your end you expose your jellyfin port to internet, but restrict at the router level to your user’s client IP address as soon as you have it. Obviously in practice this works best if the address does not change often.

I have searched for such a game, featuring both realistic driving and open world roaming.

I settled on BeamNG.drive which can do that out of the box, even though it’s capable of much more. While it lacks the high quality environments of the Forza Horizons it has very good wheel and even VR support and is simply the best automobile sandbox around.

Oh so there is a proper name for this ! I have had those once in a while since I was a kid, and still get them well into my forties.

I do still remember the anxiety the first time it happened.

He manages to toot his own horn and be completely tone-deaf in a single sentence.

He does take portals in the games. But he is quite vocal about hating them.

KeePass features a built-in synchronization mechanism. I store my password file on google drive for ease of access on multiple devices. I set up triggers (on save, on custom button) to sync between the local copy and the cloud copy, using this guide: https://keepass.info/help/kb/trigger_examples.html#dbsync

Not a turnkey solution, but once setup it works like a charm.

This game looks like a major flop in the making. It seems like they are trying to appeal to the Fortnite crowd with those flashy visuals and style.

Overall they are making some weird moves with Horizon, trying to expand it into a multi-genre license. This is a lot to put on a game which could have been a one-shot with a powerful story. The sequel felt kind of forced story-wise and don’t get me started about its ending.

Sysinternals (winternals) tools are so useful ! There is something for everyone there (TcpView, ProcExp are my personal go-tos). MS was well inspired to buy it and hire M. Russinovich.

I like the enthusiasm, but I’m sure you realize why Jellyfin is more suitable for mainstream use. The pretty web UI, user management, watch tracking and device-specific clients are what makes the software actually useful if you want to serve media to “normal” people.

I do not know, but the Vinegar people give it straight:

Also last time around Wine support was broken for like 6 months and no one found a workaround. It was Roblox devs who re-enabled it later.
