Don’t get me wrong here, I understand the pushback from the community in this regard and i’m not try to defend proprietary software licensing.

I’m more of letting the original commenter know that they actually don’t own the game or game files they purchase from common store-fronts, they simply own a license to download and play the game.

People don’t like being proven wrong, and often try to dismiss it with some variation of “Im not gonna sit here and be told the whatfer by some random idiot”

Sounds like you’re describing yourself here.

• Refused to accept documentation from a valid source.

• Instead of having a discussion, you proceed with a pointless “Sure, buddy” at an attempt to deflect from the topic.

So when it came to registering on Lemmy, that popped up in my head and bobs your uncle.

Real nice honeypot too, every time someones wrong and backs themselves into a corner instead of admitting they are wrong, they inevitably give some variation of “living up to your user name, huh”, which just continues to prove that the actual idiot is the one lashing out like that.

You chose to make the two comments above, I simply humoured your ignorance and lack of understanding of the subject.

Username checks out.

Suggest reading into software licensing and understand the different types of licenses that could be used.

Make us individual game owners pay license every time we download and install the game?

This is how it’s been done for decades now? Every game you purchase off of Steam, Xbox, PlayStation is just a license to play that game.

If I remember correctly, Walmart does have televisions up in the tech department displaying advertisements and trailers for movies and games.

Ffs be a parent and this never would have happened. Sounds like father is the delusional one.

His son was 36, his responsibility to babysit every little thing his child did ended at 19. The Father is not to blame for what his adult son had done.

Matrix runs great out of the box but once you start joining large rooms your server has to synchronize with every instance, this is very taxing on the network and in my experience was essentially DDOS’ing me until I started a cache at the reverse proxy level and forced it to use my secondary PiHole.

Sheesh enough with the conspiracies, y’all are out of hand, and this is coming from a conservative leaning voter.

Finds a comic strip that i don’t like.

This must be before my time, I must make my opinion known to all.

Shit.

GrapheneOS is great and all but I refuse to willingly give google a single dollar for their hardware.

When GrapheneOS can be installed on any device is when I’ll gladly make that switch, and hopefully one day Apple iPhones can run other operating systems.

Huh, swear I’ve seen this somewhere.

Oh I am fully aware it just cosmetic, that’s why I added this line In my original comment:

but be warned if you take this route that the CSS can be re-enabled on the login screen using your browsers element inspect

hence why I also suggest just outright blacklisting all IP’s and only whitelisting the known few at the reverse proxy level.

I’ve been looking at VPNs, but it feels weird, to route everything through my home IP when I’m also trying to use a commercial VPN for privacy / to combat services fingerprinting me based on my IP.

My ASUS WRT router (running Merlin Firmware) forwards my Home WireGuard VPN server through one of my Proton VPN clients, I get all the added bonuses of being connected to my home network, utilizing my PiHole an such, while benefiting from appearing across the world.

I’m currently considering a reverse proxy setup with an authentication provider like authentik or authelia, but as far as I understand, that wouldn’t work well with accessing services through an app on my mobile device (like for jellyfin music for example.)

This is correct, you cannot host an authentication service in front of Jellyfin’s proxy otherwise the Jellyfin Media Player will not connect to your server however, there is a Jellyfin SSO plugin for authentication which is what I use and I disabled the manual login form via CSS but be warned if you take this route that the CSS can be re-enabled on the login screen using your browsers element inspect, I wish you can disable it outright but it’s heavily baked into Jellyfin from what I’ve read.

I suggest setting up a IP-Blacklist for Jellyfin and only whitelisting the known IP’s.

Edit: 1 Day since it was DNS, lovely way to wake up in the morning.
