It’s being deiven by the browsers. Shorter certs mean less time for a compromised certificate to be causing trouble.

Will we need to log in every morning and expect to refresh every damn site cert we connect to soon?

Automate your certificate renewals. You should be automating updates for security anyway.

His biggest issue was Premiere Pro not working on Linux, and Davinci Resolve not supporting the AAC Audio codec which VLC recorded in which he then wasted a ton of time on to get it to work and eventually tried to vibe-code his own video editor which didn’t really work out so then he purchased Davinci Resolve premium to get AAC support.

Holy hell, why would he do that? Just “for the content”?

Runs kali linux. Blames Debian when it breaks.

“Bare metal” has traditionally meant without any os either. Your code executes directly on hardware and has direct control over everything. Like a micro controller.

Code in a container executes on the hardware in exactly my the same way as code not running in a container - with the os as an intermediary.

“not running in a container” is not “running on bare metal”. It’s just running outside a container.

And how often does it happen?

You kids think HDDs just failed daily or something. I flew all over the place with a laptop with an HDD for years, as did many others. It’ll be fine. Especially since it’s unlikely they would be using the drives while traveling.

Lvm isn’t hard to use and works well. Any reason to not use it other than it’s not the new hotness?

Either way, traveling with that much spinning rust there is always a good chance for bit-flips or damage.

What? Lol no. They’ll travel fine.

enough, a lot, more demanding.

You need to give some sort of guidance here.

How much money are you willing to spend? Resiliency is expensive.

Self-hosting is trivial and everyone can do it.

So is open heart surgery. Unless you want it to end successfully.

Have you forgotten that you too started at 0?

Not at all. In fact I remember the day my server was hacked because I’d left a service running that had a vulnerability in it. I remember changing passwords, calling my bank to ensure there had been no fraudulent charges, etc. I remember “war driving” to find vulnerable WiFi networks. I remember changing default passwords on a service setup by a client of mine.

As I said - it’s not gate-keeping it’s experience.

Yes, it sometimes can be difficult and frustrating, but so long as someone, anyone, is willing to try and learn and fail and retry, they can get my help

Teaching is “gate-keeping” apparently. You can’t tell somebody that they need to learn something! You just need to give them a link to a url and say “run this thing as root and your stuff will work - totally not a scam tho”.

“Has anyone noticed that medical doctors gate-keep people doing open heart surgery?”

Why do you assume self-hosting is and can be trivial? It is NOT for everybody. You should have some base level of technical knowledge. You should expect to need to learn some things. It’s not a badge of honor, it’s experience.

My project focuses on building a tool that makes self-hosting more accessible without sacrificing data ownership

Good luck with that. Don’t get your users pwned in the process. You’re now responsible for the security of people who think “opening a command line” is too difficult.

You are waaaay over-thinking this…

I’m happy you’re discovering the Linux CLI, but this is pretty ridiculous. mpv, vlc, mplayer, etc. all serve very different uses from jellyfin.

I don’t.

Clearly you don’t know.

If I wanted to run updates frequently I would run arch lmao. Even if I did apt update every day, debian stable doesn’t get that many updates.

You’re not updating for features you’re updating for bug and security fixes. That’s why Debian stable doesn’t have many updates. But the ones they do are typically important.
