Oh, by the way, road works, 80km/h. Aaaand you’re free again! Have f- oh no, roadworks again, 80 pls. Ok done. Now you can really hit the gas! Joke, roadworks again haha, 80! Finally done, now we promise we don’t have roadworks anymore, enjoy! Aaaand welcome to the Netherlands, 100 please.

If that isn’t the most accurate description of driving through Germany, I don’t know what is :D

I always found driving in the Netherlands much more relaxing.

Ah yes, NL = Nur Links … I understand why you feel more at home there :D

At least where I live, the law allows for using flashes to indicate that you want to overtake.

I like it much better, than Eastern EU, where people are also going 150+, and are being assholes in the meantime

You should try Italy. Total culture shock the first time I drove there. Especially, entering via Switzerland where they are completely anal about traffic rules.

That reminds me … another annoying thing Google did was list my private jellyfin instance as a “deceptive site”, after it had uninvitedly crawled it.

A common issue it seems.

Ew

What I used to do was: I put jellyfin behind an nginx reverse proxy, on a separate vhost (so on a unique domain). Then I added basic authentication (a htpasswd file) with an unguessable password on the whole domain. Then I added geoip firewall rules so that port 443 was only reachable from the country I was in. I live in small country, so this significantly limits exposure.

Downside of this approach: basic auth is annoying. The jellyfin client doesn’t like it … so I had to use a browser to stream.

Nowadays, I put all my services behind a wireguard VPN and I expose nothing else. Only issue I’ve had is when I was on vacation in a bnb and they used the same IP range as my home network :-|

This is how I found out Google harvests the URLs I visit through Chrome.

Got google bots trying to crawl deep links into a domain that I hadn’t published anywhere.

all you need is to get a static IP for your home network

Don’t even need a static IP. Dyndns is enough.

PC gamer no longer means tech savvy. My zoomer stepson is a hardcore gamer but can’t figure out shit when something’s wrong with his computer, and does not understand basic concepts regarding hardware, operating systems, networking, … and he doesn’t seem to care about any of it either.
