Own domain for Jellyfin and privacy concerns - Lemmy.World
Hi everyone, a couple of friends and I have a Jellyfin server running which is
exposed to the internet via a reverse-proxy and https by using a free dynDNS
provider. The setup is working fine besides the dynDNS provider. We constantly
face connection issues, making the dynamic DNS functionality very unreliable. So
I started looking into possible solutions and one particular would be to buy an
own domain which would only cost a few bucks each month. With this I could keep
the current setup and would just need to change the domain (and possibly the SSL
certificate). I found a provider over which I could buy (rent?) a domain and
which also provides dynDNS functionality. But I am not too sure if I understood
this correctly: - if I have an own domain, why would I need the additional
dynDNS functionality? I would guess that I would just continue updating your
server’s IP address to the domain name like we are doing now - can the provider
over which I rent the domain with servers in my country actually see what our
traffic is? Especially since we are streaming our movies etc. - is there a
better way of obtaining and setting up your own domain also in terms of privacy
and reliability than with a bigger company offering such services? Thanks a lot
for your feedback!

Arch user looks for ease of mind - Lemmy.World
Whelp, here I am. Been an Arch user for over 10 years now, and to this date I
love it. But something is bothering me lately. Almost two years ago I jumped
ship and completely switched to Wayland (using Plasma first, then Sway). I
tasted modernism with all its features and it was sweet. But those last two
years were a timeframe where I had to troubleshoot quite a lot compared to
before where I used XFCE which was a very stable and reliant experience. I am at
a stage in my life where I do not have the time, nor the energy anymore to
troubleshoot problems on a regular basis. I am now almost afraid of installing
updates, because something new could fail again. But I cannot go back anymore.
Wayland is too sweet. So although I still love Arch, maybe it is time for me to
look for something else which gives me more ease-of-mind. I am specifically
looking at immutable distros now since the concept seems to be exactly what I am
looking for (stable, low maintenance, up-to-date packages, easy rollback). But I
am a bit lost with the options and hope that you can help me with some
recommendations. - I mainly browse the web, watch movies, game, do some
scripting and run qemu VMs - I am comfortable with the terminal - I don’t do
fancy customizations - I don’t like GNOME Distributions that I find interesting
so far: - Aurora - Bazzite - NixOS I am still trying to wrap my head around what
the differences between NixOS and the other two are. Afaik, with Nix you can
configure your system once (including what packages you want to use), save this
configuration in a file, and load it up whenever I need to set it up again. And
it seems to have the same concept of updates, such that you can easily roll back
if needed. But it seems to be aimed more at professional users and that I might
overshoot at what I was aiming for. So for someone who likes to setup a system
once and then just wants to use it indefinitely without too much maintenance
what would your recommendation/advice/critisism regarding my situation be?
