Authentik is your friend fam. Might take a minute or two to get it spun up the way you want, but then you can support using a single IdP (that you control) for all your hosted stuff (except Plex). If you want MFA you’ll have to set it up differently than I, I just use an LDAP lookup but it works great.

Plexamp is all that’s keeping it installed in my homelab.

I’ve still got my Plex up, I only use it for Plexamp though, and my brother watches stuff on it (lifetime pass since forever). I quit watching stuff on it because in order to log in you have to hit Plex’s servers (even when logging in directly to the self hosted server); that doesn’t work for me because we block them at work. If they would let me use my own IdP, I’d probably stay. At least with Jellyfin I can authenticate how I want.

I’m not positive but I believe that is a setting, it defaults to a poster view but I think it can be swapped to a list view.

Yeah, over the past 5 years or so I can’t say I’ve had to do a lot with it either. There was a time I accidentally nuked it, but that’s why I had a backup.

The one with shitloads of RAM has 768GB and a pair of Xenons… My default VM gets more RAM than my desktop, but it’s great for the rare occasion I need a big-ass ramdisk or something. I was going to build a small jbod and get a couple USFF systems (possibly thin clients) to host my docker containers… Then disk prices went through the roof.

Yeah, I’m feeling the pain from my old enterprise gear but moving away from it has been hard. Right now I have an old 720XD for storage (12, 6tb spinning rust, 2 smaller SSDs for cache), an old Intel server with shitloads of RAM, an old R610 (at this point it’s only there for a service or two that I could surely migrate), a couple old HP MicroServer gen8’s, and an old HP SFF desktop. There are months my power bill looks like a mortgage.

Oh my Lord, that is so much easier and in hindsight, so obvious. Thank you brother!

I started using linkwarden to archive their documentation for various things just so I know I’m not crazy when it changes.

My mom used to keep an old photo she took back in '65 or '67 (she said she was a little girl at the time but took the picture so I assume around 10-ish). It was a photo of my grandmothers back yard and clear as day there was a classic disc shaped craft.

The story she told about it was that it came in over Tampa bay and got really close to the water, she said the water was churning under it like it was boiling and there were tons of dead fish floating on the water after it passed. My grandfather was an arial photographer at the time and had a darkroom at home and they had copies drying when the government showed up to talk to residents. They confiscated all the negatives and pictures save the one she had with her to show her friend, and gave the explanation that swamp gas had killed the fish and was the reason for the churning water.

I don’t know how I feel about it, but having lost my mother 25+ years ago and the look in her eyes when she talked about it, I’ll keep on believing it was real.

Much more fun to use linuxgsm and docker, also a bit easier in my personal opinion… https://github.com/GameServerManagers/docker-linuxgsm

Try a 22.5 degree downward impact about 45 degrees to the left or right. Pissing straight at the urinal always creates some backsplash.

IPv6 is disabled at the firewall. I’m just not in a hurry to redo my network.

Personal opinion, IPv6 has been on the table so long it’s no longer something I think about. 20 years ago I thought it was going to be amazing.

Yeah but any authentication I cannot control, is to me, not that secure. I can’t even log into my Plex setup from work because even though it is hosted at my home, it requires a connection to Plex’s infrastructure for login and I haven’t been able to find any OIDC options to use my own IdP. I’m definitely in the minority of their users for wanting to be able to use my own personal authentication.

I remember an article about this I cited in a paper 20-ish years ago. We really are on a cycle lately lol.

Totally not the software your asking about, but Remotely worked really well when I needed to help out the mother-in-law (https://github.com/immense/Remotely).

I think that as we get older words have more meaning, so we say them correctly by default. Mississippi or one-thousand both take longer to say and they’ve never kept the correct time for me, so I learned as a child to use ‘and’ instead. Most of the kids I knew would try to say it so quickly it was never the full word (Mississippi was the most common and would sound to me like they were saying missip), but for whatever reason my brain has always wanted to use the full word and my timing would constantly be off.

It’s just a thought though.

That’s getting to be an old reference but still 100% accurate!

I’m in the camp that believes I’m not that interesting of a target, Bitwarden is a much better target than my Vaultwarden instance. Do I believe that makes me invisible to attackers, nope; if someone is targeting you, relying on an external company doesn’t protect you, it just shifts the risks to them on paper.

I’ve kicked myself in the ass over that decision a lot over the years. It’s far behind me now, but I still kinda regret it.
