Seems that celeste has changed peoples lives for the better. Helped them to see through things that are a struggle and not give up.

People probably can be changed by any game since one can speak to different people.

Celeste follows a light story of not giving up, which is probably why is resonates with many.

Tell that to celeste

Probably not overrated, you (maybe) just think so because you personally don’t like the games. The amount of people excited for it and loving it justify the hype I think.

Maybe soo many people using their data at once? Seems crazy though, likely just people who are trying to load steam store, etc through their phone on data and it doesn’t load, so they blame their data connection wrongly

I agree, but only up to a point. If you like to discover loads of music because you listen to tracks all day at work for example (which can make you get bored of tracks/albums quickly when you play them a hundred times in one day), its much harder to do so when you have to use a different service for recommendations & listening.

Not so much that I haven’t done that myself, but it is more time consuming.

So tl;dr its the discovery part thats a pain, at least for me.

(Speaking from experience)

Edit: i just clicked on the post and it covers discovery, ima have to read that later.

Take-Two: Microtransaction Hell

Email magic links are cool (personally hate when a website only allows this login because I don’t have my email available on every device, but that is unrelated sorta).

I probably wouldn’t go with a relatively new project that isn’t guaranteed to stick around long-term (big hassle to swap provider).

authelia and authentik both have a lot of eyes looking over the code so I’d also feel more confident going with them, even if I can’t get passwordless email login (don’t think they support it but not certain).

I think you will be fine as described.

If you want extra peace of mind with 2FA, you can use Authelia (https://www.authelia.com/integration/openid-connect/clients/peertube/) or a similar service that you can put infront of peertube to handle auth.

Bro said ‘no vpn’ a hundred times lol

Unfortunately no software exists that is fully perfect in this regard (any program could have multiple bugs just waiting to be found), but jellyfin being open source puts it in a better situation for finding vulnerabilities sooner.

It’s honestly just a matter of how much risk you are comfortable with for using jellyfin on the open internet.

(If i remember correctly:) The unauthenticated routes thing can only be used for streaming your content without a login (if you can guess the contents ids on your server I believe).

In my opinion, it’s not worth the hassle of using a vpn because I don’t think this risk is worth mitigating with one.

But everyone has their own personal risk assesment of course.

P.s. Easier than a VPN, at least for logging in other users, would be to use some type of proxy authentication like Authelia. I believe jellyfin has a plugin you can use. It can be complicated to setup, but it’s an option. I believe it should protect all routes exposed by jellyfin so that solves the unauthenticated streaming issue. (I still dont think this is necessary but more choice for the risk-adverse!).

do not use default ports 80/443.

In my opinion, you’d be fine using default ports. Guess there’s no harm in using other ports though, other than the pain of having the remember which port to use if you ever forget when adding a new device, etc.

Edit: I should add that im speaking of only ports 80/443 here. If you must expose ssh over the internet (probably shouldnt) for example, then yes, use a non-standard port (I use non standard ports for pretty much all apps except http/s).

Looks like a great resource thank you for the edumacation

Rip. I had a look and have never heard of their license before.

Is that repo not the code or does it have a (bad) license or something?

(Not to poop on NewPipe, but this app is better in my opinion, I swapped after their player was bugged for me and I got a bit annoyed on the devs response to not adding SponsorBlock (you can say no to a feature ofc, but he decided to add reasoning that was bad))
