The problem here - it’s not me who requires access to my library, if someone isn’t willing or able to do it, I’m sorry but that’s just how it is. People should stop infantilize non-technical people, absolute majority of them is capable of navigating our world without much problems and I’m willing to help them if help is asked.

If my 60 y.o. mother with close to zero technical skills can do it with limited help (due to distance and other constraints) I’m pretty sure that majority of people with sound mind can.

The solution is mentioned already - use vpn, it will solve 90% of the problems that you can encounter. Also you can serve multiple other services this way without exposing them.

Nothing stops you from using it outside of your house.

Don’t expose jellyfin to the internet is a golden rule.

I have something like homegrown pihole (dnsmasq with block lists) , jellyfin, qbittorrent and nfs/smb share. Everytime when such a post appears there is this irrational desire to create cool monitoring and homepage and homeassistant. Never materialises into anything, after all there is always emacs that requires tinkering if needed. :3

I’m always at awe when people do this for their home like I’ve been managing infra for almost two decades and don’t have even quarter of the things some people install and manage. It looks overwhelming to be honest.

I’ve worked in large companies that didn’t use anything oracle, also worked in one that used oracle db and that’s it, I think that oracle is pretty north america specific.

I really like software that is built from plugins, but it needs to have some stable ‘core’ plugins shipped by default, like emacs for example. Nothing by default is pretty useless but it all depends on constraints and requirements.
