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

Do we have a r/rimjobsteve equivalent here?

The point should be to bring everyone up, not pull others down, though

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

Down votes is the price you pay for trying to be informative

What do you mean with “went to bed”?

Are there any of these communities you could recommend?

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

Is there? What’s this book called… so that I know to avoid it

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!

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…
