Do you mean something link subdomain.domain.tld? Because I have that set up with namecheap

Was bought out by dotdash a few years ago. Been on a steady decline ever since. The old content is still there, so it still works as a reference, but the new stuff is not of the same quality

Serious eats 😢 RIP

Do we have a r/rimjobsteve equivalent here?

The point should be to bring everyone up, not pull others down, though

This is true. Would probably be much easier technically and legally if they already own it, though.

That’s interesting. So they buy the domain on your behalf and then rent it out to you. Pretty cool concept

That said, I’ve owned a fair few domains and never had to deal with 3rd parties, so I’m not sure if the added security risk (however small) of them hijacking your domain is worth it. For me, at least. YMMV

So it’s possible to run it without signing up. Thats good news. All the reviews seem to say it’s a requirement for the initial set up

Are there any special steps to get your set up? I imagine you need to side load your apps because the play store won’t work, but is there anything else?

I suppose I could use someone else’s account for initial set up. I’ve had a look and it seems nextdns allows different profiles per device, so I’ll just block as many google domains as I can that way

That’s disappointing, but not surprising. Probably no point in shelling out for a shield if it’s not as powerful with Lineage

Tbh, I’d be happy with side loading both Plex and revanced, but from what I’ve seen, it won’t initialize without a google account

What makes a registrar more privacy focused than another. Just had a read of their website, but couldn’t understand why they’re better for privacy than any other

Down votes is the price you pay for trying to be informative

Are there any of these communities you could recommend?

finance

even stuff like £ is unsupported.

Probably not an issue then…

You can just use ports as if you’re on a local network.

This is the bit I find confusing. Doesn’t Plex need that port to be open to the outside world?

Or is your setup only open to devices on your private tailscale network and therefore seeing it as local?

If that’s the case, I’ll need to see if tailscale can work with osmc, since that’s what I have running on my raspi behind my tv

Is there? What’s this book called… so that I know to avoid it

Yes, there’s the one open port that is required. Otherwise your traffic gets routed through Plex servers and the streams are limited to pretty poor quality video

Tailscale is another one I’ve heard of but haven’t looked much into it.

This article put me off a bit. Seems like an unnecessarily complicated setup https://www.jjpdev.com/posts/plex-media-server-tailscale/

That racknerd price for a vps sounds too good to be true!

Are you guys not concerned about losing complete access to the internet if something drops on your server?

I realise these will be very rare cases, but shit happens sometimes, and always seems to happen at the worst possible moments.

What’s your recovery plan?

Edit to add that this is the reason I’m on nextdns… Make it someone else’s problem
