> as a software engineer I know enough to install NixOS and Jellyfin and I even get some kind of masochistic enjoyment from fixing things when they inevitably break, but I cannot imagine my mom going through anything like this, so for her the media landscape has gotten only worse.
Jellyfin supports multiple users, she can mail you some disks ;)

- A4ET8a8uTh0 3y agoYep, the moment money changes hands, things become messy. It is relatively easy to argue 'personal use, fuck off', but it is much harder to defend 'I am only getting $x for this'.
- account42 3y agoThat's your opinion. Anything to back it up?
- generalizations 3y agoWhy don't you tell me why you think I'm wrong.

- tracker1 3y agoReverse proxy with a dns name via Caddy... you'd need to know the domain name, everyone else gets a 404 on default response.
- kadoban 3y agoDomain names aren't secret, that doesn't sound very reassuring.
- tracker1 3y agoIt's not a replacement for passwords, just an obfuscation in terms of what sites are on a server... you don't know what host names point to a given IP only knowing the IP... you'd need to have a man in tne middle.
- kadoban 3y agoCan't you just look up the IP in rDNS? You definitely can, I just tried, but it's not 100% clear to me if you can keep a name out of there if you try. I don't think you can, I mean DNS is public.
