Teamspeak lived long enough to see an exodus from Discord, but that doesn’t mean Discord is dying.
Did you run into the same problems I did with self-hosting? And if not, how did you avoid them?
Why not?
Thanks! I feel pretty good about the power draw based on what you wrote, even though HDDs are going to add to that, and that’s good to hear about the mini PC running Jellyfin, which gives me some hope for the on-board server in a NAS like the one I’m eyeing. And even if that doesn’t work out, I’ve got my own mini PC that I should be able to leave in place most of the time.
You’re a stranger on the internet. Even if I was so petty as to blame you, I’d have a hard time tracking you down, haha.
So then if I’m evaluating a worst case for what I plan to use this NAS for, it would be that an attacker gains access to movies that I have on my shelf, CDs that I have on my shelf, books that I’d have the right to redownload as long as the place I bought them from is still in business, and my own save files for DRM-free video games that Heroic Games Launcher currently tells me not to rely on them for syncing back to GOG.com. At which point, if some attacker found a vulnerability and locked my NAS from me, they’d have caused me an annoyance in that I’d have to reformat those drives and re-rip that media. With no sensitive information intended to be on this thing, it seems pretty low risk, right?
Oh, sorry, haha. There’s a lot of jargon thrown around in a place like this, and I thought this was one I missed.
Sorry, but the SEO on “Q2” is pretty bad. What are you referring to? And what are the actual risks of a port being exposed to the outside world via an off-the-shelf router? Surely they can always hit my IP, and if this port is only exposed for Jellyfin, it would be just as vulnerable as any other port that calls out, right? I ask that knowing that it must be wrong, but I don’t understand how.
Yes, Fluxer’s self hosting documentation 404s, and Stoat seems to still rely on a central server, which isn’t self hosted enough for my needs. It’s cool that both of them are looking good in the near future, but I want something I can start using in the next few months.
