Do you mean something link subdomain.domain.tld? Because I have that set up with namecheap

Was bought out by dotdash a few years ago. Been on a steady decline ever since. The old content is still there, so it still works as a reference, but the new stuff is not of the same quality

Serious eats 😢 RIP

This is true. Would probably be much easier technically and legally if they already own it, though.

That’s interesting. So they buy the domain on your behalf and then rent it out to you. Pretty cool concept

That said, I’ve owned a fair few domains and never had to deal with 3rd parties, so I’m not sure if the added security risk (however small) of them hijacking your domain is worth it. For me, at least. YMMV

What makes a registrar more privacy focused than another. Just had a read of their website, but couldn’t understand why they’re better for privacy than any other

I’ve not heard about this. Does anyone have a link to share? Can’t find one myself

What do you mean with “went to bed”?

This was a well written and interesting piece from someone who knows about the subject matter. What a refreshing piece of content. Thank you for sharing

You can just use ports as if you’re on a local network.

This is the bit I find confusing. Doesn’t Plex need that port to be open to the outside world?

Or is your setup only open to devices on your private tailscale network and therefore seeing it as local?

If that’s the case, I’ll need to see if tailscale can work with osmc, since that’s what I have running on my raspi behind my tv

Yes, there’s the one open port that is required. Otherwise your traffic gets routed through Plex servers and the streams are limited to pretty poor quality video

Tailscale is another one I’ve heard of but haven’t looked much into it.

This article put me off a bit. Seems like an unnecessarily complicated setup https://www.jjpdev.com/posts/plex-media-server-tailscale/

That racknerd price for a vps sounds too good to be true!

Are you guys not concerned about losing complete access to the internet if something drops on your server?

I realise these will be very rare cases, but shit happens sometimes, and always seems to happen at the worst possible moments.

What’s your recovery plan?

Edit to add that this is the reason I’m on nextdns… Make it someone else’s problem

Point taken about backups. I wouldn’t self host something like this without backups.

Backups are obviously a good idea, but it’s a pain in the ass having to restore your data. A disclaimer like this implies that restoring from backup will be a regular thing. That’s why I was curious about peoples experience with it. How frequently does it wipe your photos?

Is anyone using this? It looks great, but that disclaimer everywhere saying you shouldn’t use it concerns me.

If you use it, what is your experience?

I’ve come to accept this as true from making that mistake a few times. I just don’t understand it, though. People really seem to hate it.

He looks like he’s aged 10 years since the war

This is it. How to do bring super powers to a group of nations and tell them they’ll have the same voice as tiny countries. Why would they bother showing up?

The world has changed since then, though. I dont think it makes much sense anymore to have France and the UK as permanent members though. Even Russia has shown itself to be more of a minnow than we thought…

Especially given the fact that France tried talking Russia out of invading before the war and they still went ahead with it. So it’s not like the security council sat around and watched it happen.

Memory is not storage, so you would need to be logging what’s in memory, I guess. Not impossible, but also not trivial either.

Honestly I’m not sure how it could be done, but I’m sure it’s possible
