I did that and it works well. The only problem is that when the battery goes to 0 on a long outage, the UPS can’t recharge it. I had to pull the battery, charge it with a lifepo4 charger, then reinstall.

Short outages are fine.

If you are using a buck converter you might as well use a ups. They’re both going to be ~ 95%.

I don’t understand the purpose of the exposed daisy chained cables. If it is not meant to be frequently unplugged, then why not wire an internal bus of 14 awg with Wago?

I quoted Plex documentation where it explains in detail that you need port 32400 OPEN for remote access. https://support.plex.tv/articles/200289506-remote-access/

I linked the CVE but here is the plain language version because you didn’t read what I linked:

https://www.howtogeek.com/over-300k-plex-servers-are-still-vulnerable-to-attackers-despite-emails/

"The flaw has been assigned a CVSS score of 10.0, the highest possible level of severity. This score indicates that the vulnerability can be exploited remotely over the internet, is easy to execute, and requires no authentication or interaction from the server’s owner. A successful attack could result in a total loss of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. An attacker could access, modify, or delete a user’s private media files, or even disable the entire Plex server. "

What the fuck is wrong with you?

The reason to run the reverse proxy with Jellyfin is for the encryption. It’s written in the documentation that way. It’s why I still run Plex. I never finished getting through their steps to get the reverse proxy setup for the encryption.

It’s like I said you use a car to go to work and you reply AKSUALLY a car runs on TIRES. The OP didn’t say CAR.

You obviously don’t use Plex to claim it doesn’t need an open port for remote access:

https://support.plex.tv/articles/201543147-what-network-ports-do-i-need-to-allow-through-my-firewall/

I already posted a CVE that allowed hackers access to a Plex server running at home.

He said an encrypted tunnel does nothing. I don’t even run Jellyfin but that statement is false.

Which Plex does by default. He doesn’t understand that running Plex at home opens itself up to the Internet. I specifically referenced a CVE that let hackers into your home if you ran Plex.

His claim that securing Jellyfin with an encrypted tunnel does nothing is false.

Jellyfin doesn’t open up your network unless you specifically allow remote access exactly like Plex. The only difference is Jellyfin doesn’t have the encrypted tunnel built in- you need to know it needs it and add it yourself.

Plex has had bugs that allowed remote access into your home’s Plex server. https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-34158

I have argued that vlans do very little for home users.

Vlans with firewall rules mean that every room in your house has a rule that you have to go out the locked front door before going back into another room. But if an external threat can bypass the front lock, having a rule that everyone inside has to use the front lock does nothing. Either the front lock works in which case everything is safe or it doesn’t work in which case the rule to use the front door lock every time you go from inside room to inside room does nothing.

A cheap way to start is noip.com. You can get a domain name for free, you just need to check in every 3 months to say you are still using it. It’s big enough that many routers support it.

After 2 years of checking in every 3 months I paid for their next tier of service where you don’t have to check in and get multiple domains etc. So their free service marketing worked.

I agree somewhat. Second panel showing Gandalf’s expression but no text.

I have family photos starting in 2001, scanned/captured photos and video going back 50 years, music, and backups of all my Xbox DVDs (WTF is the original Xbox even called today?). But that’s a few terrabytes. It can all fit on a few USB sticks. (Which I do as a third level backup.)

The real space killers are the TV shows and movies that I will watch at most once every 20 years. I could delete almost all of it. But I don’t. Instead I keep looking for bigger storage options.

How did you handle the reverse proxy in Windows for remote access?

You are wearing an Eva T-shirt and can’t name 3 Angels!

But the op is complaining about the much lighter .net where the shared libraries for all apps are a fraction of the space of bringing in an entire OS environment for each and every app.

.net isn’t Windows.

Don’t even get me started on .NET or the various and sundry “redistributables” constantly required by every tool you try to use.

It’s absurd but Linux is far worse. Instead of addressing library bloat and versioning we have Docker which just throws EVERYTHING into a bag and makes you download an entire OS environment space to run one app.

Unless you are on a private tracker, the trackers go up and down and require changes every few years too.

Thanks but as I said, it’s about the collecting, not the watching. I captured/filtered/converted shows like Buzz Lightyear of Star Command for my nephew 25 years ago. I’m not going to delete it despite that no one is watching it or will watch it for decades (maybe when nephew has kids or if I have grandkids). It’s not even available on any streaming.

I think if I ran maintainerr, it would tell me to delete everything except the home videos that my mother in law likes to watch.
