  • Being up to date is VERY important. There’s a bunch of sites out there that scan the entire internet endlessly and keep information about each IP up to date. For example go here and search your IP.

    https://search.censys.io/

    When a vulnerability is found, attackers will go to sites like these and look for anything to hack. If you don’t update more or less immediately, you’re at huge risk.

    Other then that, everyone else is right. Being available to the public means you’re going to have bots scanning you and sending random trash. The only thing you can do is try and block it (fail2ban) or limit it (block certain countries) but at the end of the day its the software that gets the packets (jellyfin) that you need to trust to be secure and discard random junk.




  • I didn’t know how to feel about the headline when I read it, is it possible to do that? I still don’t know. It’s not really for me to decide how SHE feels either. It just sounds… Weird? And not possible? I don’t know.

    Regardless, in my mind, it depends on what the action was. If I send a text to your phone to hack it, then I guess I’m “assaulting your phone” but if the phone is the medium used to get to you then obviously it’s towards you.

    And this can all be made moot by the software devs with an input box “keep non-friends N meters away”. Its all tech and virtual. Whatever she has a problem with can be an option to toggle for her.

    You will very likely waste hours of your life. you will have to google “rsync ssh non standard port” every time you want to use rsync. you will have to remember scp flags. this is also bad. probably worse.

    I feel personally attacked. I use an SSH config file so its not a problem (anymore) but wow.
