Pardon me, do you have the rule? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

A comic strip titled "WONDERMARK by David Malki!" featuring five panels. In the first panel, a dodo bird asks a seated man, "Pardon me, do you have the time?" The man responds, "Yes, it's—". In the second panel, the dodo exclaims, "You have the time!" The third panel shows multiple dodos excitedly saying, "He has the time,"...

Yikes, how Draconian. Id be fucking pissed if someone came in and forcibly open sourced a product I had invested millions in developing.

Is it worth using the windows app vs. just using Jellyfin in Firefox?

I have my JellyFin on a dedicated server outside my home. I use a domain, with and SSH certificate. Before I moved to the domain and the cert I just had an IP:Port setup.

A VPN would not be practical for my situation, as the instance is used by various family members and friends. I'm happy for them to use my JF instance but I'm not providing VPN services as well.

If you're not referring to any specific vulnerabilities in JF then I feel confident there are no exceptional risks from allowing web access to JF? Just the usual ones?

That's overly complicated for some of the users - most of them aren't very tech savvy, and they're watching via all kinds of devices - TV's, iOS, Kindle, etc.

I don't see any major security reason for access requiring a VPN. Are there particular vulnerabilities that you're concerned about, or just those that generally come from having a web-facing service?
