  • I guess I’d describe myself as agnostic, but I find them to be annoying, generally. This includes my grandmother who must bring up God in every conversation. Weather? God. Politics? God. What people are up to? God. Her particular flavor of “Christianity” involves judging others, so the shit she spews isn’t taken very seriously in our house. If I were in your friend’s shoes, I’d probably just distance myself from this friend of his, since she doesn’t really seem to respect him.

    I like to discuss religion and people’s particular beliefs, mostly because it’s fascinating how different groups and cultures have decided how to get through life with ultimately the same conclusion. But it’s hard to do that when someone’s view of the subject is voluntarily one-sided. I think it’s ignorant to claim your religion as the way to believe, and the only way to get to some so-called heaven or afterlife.



  • The only logs from Pangolin are from me accessing https://overseerr.dom.tld/. From Plex’s GUI console though, I get this:

    Request: [172.18.0.2:46974 (WAN)] GET / (6 live) #18eb GZIP Signed-in
    Completed: [172.18.0.2:46974] 401 GET / (6 live) #18eb GZIP 0ms 464 bytes (pipelined: 1)
    

    That 172.18.0.2 is the IP of the Newt container (that subnet is its bridge network, anyway). So it’s making some request to Plex and receiving a 401?

    From Mozilla:

    The HTTP 401 Unauthorized client error response status code indicates that a request was not successful because it lacks valid authentication credentials for the requested resource.

    So what would cause Plex to throw a 401?














  • I don’t mean to add to the discourse here or to keep giving you hypotheticals but, while learning to self host is fun and cool, you really do not want this thing on public Internet. Even if you can delete files to prevent uncouth things, what if someone uploads something while you’re asleep, or away from your computer? Do you have others monitoring the instance to take down CSAM or other illegal material? What if someone uploads malware and it executes on your machine? If you must leave it exposed, you should allow only family and friends to access via a strongly passworded account(I think that is configurable with copy party).

    If you really want to expose services, try a media server like Plex or Jellyfin. You don’t want strangers to upload things to your machines.
