  • Happy to help. One further point of clarification: Netbird traditionally was a VPN solution that required client software on the end user device, that’s what you were thinking of presumably. However they recently-ish expanded into offering reverse proxy services as well: https://docs.netbird.io/manage/reverse-proxy

    So if you are looking for a cloudflare tunnels alternative and don’t want to go the fully selfhosted route, then Netbird can do that. I can’t speak to it’s reliability though, because I run a selfhosted Pangolin for my setup, and Netbird themselves mention that the feature is currently still in beta.


  • That’s what pangolin is. Your users don’t need to use anything special. The VPN is used internally to connect your server and the VPS. It’s not actually public facing. For the enduser it’s the same as if you used cloudflare tunnels.

    One word of warning if you choose to go with Cloudflare: Using their tunnels for streaming video is technically against their TOS. It’s not really enforced most of the time, but you might run into problems, if you plan on really high usage.

    An alternative service is Netbird. Open Source, based in Germany and as far as I know they don’t have this limitation

    The reason is simple: we want to get you security updates faster, and give you more control over your own machine.

    Security work has sped up across the entire Linux world; vulnerabilities are found faster than ever, in packages and in the kernel itself. A Fedora base lets patches reach you more quickly, and on your own terms.









  • What changes with the return of Chat Control 1.0—and what stays the same:

    • What is coming back: US tech companies are once again allowed to scan private messages without a warrant or prior suspicion. This affects direct messages on platforms like Instagram, Discord, Snapchat, Skype, and Xbox, as well as emails via Google’s Gmail and Apple’s iCloud.
    • What remains unchanged: Public social media posts and files hosted in cloud storage could already be scanned without this law. Furthermore, private messages can always be reported by users, or monitored by authorities using targeted, court-ordered wiretapping.
    • What is still NOT being scanned: End-to-end encrypted chats, such as those on WhatsApp, have always been exempt from these scans. Additionally, European providers of messaging and email services have never implemented chat control measures.




  • I assume, you are asking how to allow remote (as in outside of your network) access. There are multiple options to achieve this goal:

    1. Local reverse proxy and port forwarding: You essentially poke a hole through your firewall to expose your Jellyfin to the internet. Only works if you got a static IP and your router allows it.
    2. VPN: Sometimes your router has a VPN option built in. Otherwise Tailscale is a simple option. Requires some setup on the playback device. Not recommended if your users are using a lot of non-Android smart TVs
    3. Tunneling to remote reverse proxy: generally the recommended option. Pangolin and netbird are two providers of such services. Your users connect to their servers and then they are automatically redirected to your server. Both services are also open source, so you can selfhost that part of the setup as well, if you want (that’s what I do)




  • While the law requires men to request the permit, the [army] spokesperson clarified, it also obliges the military career center to issue it, if "no specific military service is expected during the period in question.”

    "Since military service under current law is based exclusively on voluntary participation, such permissions must generally be granted,” the official added. (…)

    When asked, the ministry spokesperson pointed out that "the regulation was already in place during the Cold War and had no practical relevance; in particular, there are no penalties for violating it.”
