I have a reverse proxy set up already. The path from the outside goes:

DNS -> my IP -> reverse proxy -> server

I’m just wondering what happens when my own devices on the same network go to the domain.

The FLIRC Skip 1S might be your best option. The software for it is a little finicky but you can program the volume button up/down to fire multiple volume commands. One button press could control a bunch of different TV brand volumes.

I’m not sure if it can control the shield, but you may be able to program it.

So all the people who want to use your Jellyfin server have to deal with a VPN first?

That’s my point. Plex was easily accessible for friends and family with minimal setup. Jellyfin requires a bit more knowledge.

That means it can’t be shared (easily) with others. That’s the appeal of Plex and the reason why switching entirely to Jellyfin is not an easy thing to do.

Right, but if you’re hosting Plex then you’ve likely shared it with friends/family. Jellyfin isn’t as easy to share.

The hard part about Jellyfin is that it requires your own domain and some more self-hosting knowledge that a hobbyist might not have yet.

It’s not a super hard transition, but it took me a few months on/off to learn the basics of hosting a website from my house.

I’m still trying to figure out headscale on a VPS so I can mask my home IP

I host rustdesk on my own domain and it works. I don’t have my tinfoil hat all the way on though.

Just checked out Seal. My impression:

It uses the same backend as MeTube (yt-dlp), so they have the same capability as far as website support and file formats.

Seal looks like a good option if you don’t have access to your home network or if you don’t have a dedicated machine to host things.

I still prefer MeTube because it’s a web UI that I can access from any machine. I use a VPN to stay connected to my house so I could still use MeTube while away.

Is it primarily for iPhone users?

MeTube is just a web UI, not a phone app. It is accessible by any device that can see the local IP and port of the host machine.

Yeah, that’s about it. You can watch it directly in the browser as well.

MeTube, for when my friends send me a video on a service I don’t use (facebook, instagram, tiktok). It supports a lot of sites.

“This update reinforces our culture that fosters discipline — and discipline equals readiness,” Michael R. Weimer, the sergeant major of the Army, said in the statement

Threatening to kick out 40,000 people doesn’t equal readiness.

A 2021 study in the journal Military Medicine said that grooming techniques and topical medications could be effective in treating mild-to-moderate cases of pseudofolliculitis barbae, but more severe cases responded best to laser therapy. Long-term shaving exemptions “may be needed for treatment-resistant cases,” the study said.

I saw many cases first-hand that did not resolve with topical treatments and would have led to scarring unless a permanent waiver was granted. Laser treatment is a terrible compromise on this issue - would you permanently alter yourself to conform to the standards or would you say “Fuck that” and get out when your contract ends?

With how bad the military as a whole is hurting for people, I’m surprised they’re threatening more bullshit like this.

Sometimes the only reward for digging the biggest hole is a bigger shovel
