I can easily say that the amount of my friends and family that have become interested in my Emby setup has expontentially consistently increased every round that these streaming providers have increased their rates.
The experience of launching 7 different streaming apps to find something, content constantly vanishing or moving platforms, and just an overall poor user experience coupled with doubling/tripling of each platforms costs....
Japan is very similar but not exclusive to parks, even in the middle of Tokyo. Pretty much EVERYWHERE in Japan expects you to carry your own trash.
The only exception to this really being at restaurant's, street food markets, and "some" vending machines (which will have recycling for cans/plastic).
And you know what? There's very little trash on the streets. The dirtiest areas I experienced was Osaka near Amerika-mura (young trendy area) which was mostly just stuck gum, cigarette butts, and in the early AM maybe an empty can of beer.
Personally I trust Bitwarden more than myself to keep all my passwords secure AND available. They've got a good track record as far as I'm aware.
For general security hardening though...
I use Shodan to help me identify if anything is misconfigured and what is visible from the web. You can pick up an account for usually $1 for life when they run a deal, then you can just monitor your DDNS, domain, and IP address and have it email you when any new services are detected.
Cloudflare Tunnels, to remove the need for a nginx reverse proxy (with the added benefit of easy failover as well as simplifying your stack). Then I'm utilizing Cloudflare's WAF to handle filtering out known malicious, foreign IP addresses, and other malicious traffic.
Another route you can go is a Nginx/haproxy reverse proxy behind something like Suricata. Then you can utilize something like fail2ban or crowdsec.
Authentik. Get everything behind a SSO experience and don't expose your backend services to unauthenticated local traffic (utilize http basic auth with header passthrough in authentik). So many people setup auth wrong and then have something like auth.domain.com going through auth but then mistakenly have their external IP address setup to allow traffic in authenticated.
Must be an old screenshot because there's now half a page of Gemini AI garbage at the very top now.
Highly recommend using the uBlacklist extensions to filter out the garbage, spam, copycat, useless sites that somehow seem to always beat out legitimate sources in SEO.
The brain dump docs are real from my first-hand experience.
We can hold someone responsible for their own actions while still acknowledging that people are a product of their own environment and try to study and address the underlying societal/economic conditions that led to these situations occurring in the first place.
Not if you properly setup your limits... and symmetrical fiber has become much more common.
This is actually something my dentist recommended as it helps reduce the amount of acid and sugar from the soda from saturating your teeth.
Booooo
Starting to understand why he'd hit the reset button
You obviously didn't read the article.
What they don't advertise is how many of those "new" subscribers are actually from their "emerging" markets such as India, where a subscription price is peanuts. Also, im fairly certain these numbers are intentionally skewed to paint a better picture as they lump in all the "free" accounts people get with their other subscriptions.
I get Paramount+ free with Walmart+. I get Hulu/Netflix/AppleTV with Tmobile Mobile. I get Max with ATT Fiber.
I'm sure that these streaming companies have more new subscribers when they literally give it away and simultaneously strangling their existing consumers. It's more of a question of how long is it sustainable for them to raise prices every time they're not going to have a record quarter.
Does skip intro not require everyone to have pass? Yes it does, https://support.plex.tv/articles/skip-content/
Also app installs requiring either a 1time unlock per user or the end user to have plex pass? Yes it does
Just use Cloudflared then, no need to port forward. Or use a VPN with port forwarding and a dynamic dns
Most benefits require both the server user and the end user to have Plex Pass.
Personally I prefer Emby or even Jellyfin over Plex.
I mean... aren't they both?
The entire pandemic, our security operations team got constant commendations for how rapidly we scaled up, and they touted the increased productivity we had WFH. I was officially reclassified as a remote worker at the start of Covid.
Then we got a new manager after 2 years who decided everyone needed to RTO "as needed", then monthly, then weekly.
My disabilities and medication prevents me from safely operating a vehicle to commute and my respiratory disability puts me at an extremely high risk of complications from Covid (was bedrested for 3 days from Covid, took almost a month to mostly recover, after multiple booster shots).
Tried to get accommodation, which I had never had to formally get before. Was surprisingly easy to get from HR, but my manager on the other hand made my life hell.
My manager, though, pulled out all the stops.
Jokes on them, though, I left with a very short notice, little to no documentation on key projects that I was the sole driver and maintainer on. Literally left 2-year project with 2 pages of documentation that weren't even up to date.
