    If your reverse proxy only acknowledges jellyfin exists if the hostname is correct, you won’t get discovered by an IP scanner.

    Mine’s on jellyfin.[domain].com and you get a completely different page if you hit it by IP address.

    If it does get found, there’s also a fail2ban to rate-limit someone brute-forcing a login.

    I’ve always exposed my home IP to the internet. Haven’t had an issue in the last 15 years. I’m running about 10 public-facing services including NTP and SMTP.










  • What really irks me is that ConnectEast/Transurban somehow get away with it. If you miss a $2 toll they’ll get the police to send you a $150 fine for it.

    What’s worse is that their systems actively block you from paying the toll afterwards.

    Actually, the most fucked thing above all is these companies are using government resources to protect their revenue stream whilst paying zero taxes.

    I almost copped the fine once in a brand new car that I hadn’t assigned my tag to yet. The only reason I managed to dodge the fine is because Transurban had me fly from Melbourne to Sydney with zero notice to oversee the deployment of their air quality monitoring systems in the M5 tunnel. Because, ya know, they couldn’t open the tunnel unless it was operational. I was driving to the airport at 5am. For them.
