My favorite was when the behavior of a USB drive in /etc/fstab went from "hmm it's not plugged in at boot, I'll let the user know" to "not plugged in? Abort! Abort! We can't boot!"

This change over previous init behavior was especially fun on headless machines...

I think they mean just the domain name, but not positive.

Getting TLS certs will be complicated

I just use Let's Encrypt with a wildcard domain


same certs for public and private facing domains. I'm sure this isn't best practice, but it's mostly just for me so I'm not too worried :)

I'm guessing it wouldn't work for a variety of reasons, but having cameras digitally sign the image+the metadata could be interesting.

Yeah I don't expose Jellyfin over the Internet, so it doesn't matter for me, and wouldn't work at all over WAN (unless VPN'd to home network).

Also, it's all reverse proxied, and there's nothing preventing having two Jellyfin hostnames, e.g., jf-local.mydomain.com and jf-public.mydomain.com.

An eligible voter who is denied voting for any reason is every bit as bad as a fraudulent vote. CMV.

Another fun trick you can play is to use a private IP on your public DNS records. This is useful for Jellyfin on Chromecast for instance


it uses 8.8.8.8 for DNS lookup (and ignores your router settings), so it wants a fully qualified domain name. But it has no problem accessing local hosts, so long as it's from 8.8.8.8's record.

Sounds like a Musk venture...although that would probably be XXXcorp I guess...

I have set up local DNS entries (with Pi-Hole) to point to my srrver, but I don't know if it possible to get certs for that, since it is not a real domain.

So long as your certs are for your fully qualified domain there's no problem. I do this, as do many people


mydoman.com is fully qualified, but on my own network I override the DNS to the local address. Not a problem at all


DNS is tied to the hostname, not the IP.

Reminds me of that West Wing episode where he "accidentally" makes an offensive gun analogy comment; Harris doesn't really alienate any supporters here, and she appeals to the undecided gun crowd voters. As a bonus, she's "telling it like it is" for folks who are self-described as being "fed up with PC culture."

She reminds me of Joffrey from GoT in that sense.
