Thank you, it’s very kind of you to say. Thankfully, I hadn’t made any changes in the last few days so everything is fully backed up. A silver lining to an otherwise unfortunate event
Ubuntu… But I just realised I’ve been ransomwared.
Guess I’m spending my Monday recovering from backups. Fun fun fun!
I love this. I have to know what the wider context of it is. Is there more?
Cola and cream? 🤔
Alright… I’m in
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
Hetzner got blocked by who?
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
Same, this will plague Rod Stewart just like what Team America did to Matt Damon
This wasn’t just a meme? These candles are real???
Copied from a reddit comment to save others a click through:
Just to make this slightly easier to find. You can opt out of the settings with the following:
Go to https://app.plex.tv/desktop/#!/profile/edit
Click on "Privacy Settings" at the bottom of the page
Dialog pops up where you can change stuff to private
The longer version is as follows, if you want to find the setting more organically:
Go to https://app.plex.tv/
Find "Discover" in the left hand bar, either it's pinned or under "More" -> "Plex" -> "Discover"
Click "Edit Profile" button
Click on "Privacy Settings" at the bottom of the page
Dialog pops up where you can change stuff to private
Does anyone have the original image that accompanies this text? I’ve seen many memes with this tag line, but I dont think I’ve ever seen the original
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
Do you mean something link
subdomain.domain.tld
? Because I have that set up with namecheap
