  • Yes I realized this too late, after I had already used the private email adresses from proton pass everywhere.

    My solution ( while not completely private but better than using the same one everywhere) Is to use my own firstname.lastname@domainicontroll.com for thing already linked to personal info and then set up custom domain for proton pass hidden emails to @fuckgoogle.otherdomain.com

    Then if proton ever goes to shit I can still go to another email provider and all I have to do is move the domains. Yes it isn’t free but there is no such thing as a free lunch, self hosting isn’t free either and I don’t have the mental bandwidth to self host an email server right now.





  • This is INSANE, my entire household could make imense use of theese with our shitty eyesight! I don’t cary about any reviews because anything like this will be 1000x better than existing bifocals, I will be preordering 3 pairs of theese as soon as possible. I just hope they don’t patent the shit out of them so there will be competitors and the prices won’t be astronomical.









  • I have a slightly overcomplicated setup, but I use audiobookshelve to download all my podcasts for archival purposes and then antennapod on android to listen to them (the rss feeds generated by aufiobookshelve) which syncs everything to gpodder for nextcloud. I also occasionally listen to the pods via Kasts on my desktop, also synced with gpodder.

    I specifically use audiobookshelve inbetween, since I have some paid podcast subscriptions and I don’t want to loose that content if I ever stop paying or they go under.






  • I was just in your exact Situation with my Jellyfin home server. I was using Tailscale for a while, but ran into a problem: my new server is really bad at encoding, so I can only use direct play, which uses more bandwidth than the tail scale relay servers can give.

    The problem with tail scale is, I basically only ever use the relay servers because my home is cgnat and most of the time when I want to stream outside of home I am on mobile data with cgnat or at college (restrictive firewall).

    My solution which I implemented last weekend was to buy the cheapest VPS I could get from my trusted provider and harden it and install nginx proxy manager and tailscale. With that, I can make a direct (no relay server) connection to my home server and proxy Jellyfin to a public domain.

    I am still figuring out how to secure Jellyfin, but I have also seen some comments that Jellyfin is secure by default and therefore ok to have exposed.

    Actually no, it is insecure, do not expose it to the internet. I will be adding separate authentication to access it via proxy.


  • I wouldn’t rely on the thief not knowing how to read linux partitions. That very well may be the case, but the person they sell your hardware to will know better, considering they are in the market of purchasing used server hardware.

    I self host and my threat model is the thief selling my server to someone who knows what to do with it, but not knowing how to extract encryption keys from the memory of a running server before unpluging it. That being said I haven’t figured out encryption yet so watching this thread.
