I’m also very skeptical. I just didn’t want us to put words in their mouth, because people often do it in bad faith and I hate it.

It’s very difficult to get unbiased view of what’s happening on the ground for us far away.

But in other wars in history, after the dust had settled, it turned out there were cases where insurgents had raided local villages and blamed it on the invading force. I don’t know when the dust will settle on this one, but afterwards I suspect we’ll find there were no good guys.

Edit: it looks like my client posted this as a top level comment, instead of the comment I was replying to. I’ve reposted it in the correct place because it looks really bad without context.

They didn’t actually say it’s the Israeli settler outposts that HAMAS is attacking.

First version of Kodi was released in 2002.

It’s now 2026, so that’s more than two decades of development.

If you mean limitations in the client, I discovered that there’s a Jellyfin for Kodi plugin.

Kodi has had decades of development. It’s super customizable, has every feature you can think of, direct plays every video format, and is fast.

Having it act as a Jellyfin client has been amazing and given me the best of both worlds.

Yes, but ported C# usually doesn’t make for the most idiomatic Python.

99% of the time that doesn’t matter, but a highly security sensitive reverse proxy shared by multiple users most likely part of the stack to be attacked might be an exception.

No, it’s pretty clear that you’re the one that LOVES where the world is going. You have zero interest in changing where things are going, you just want the satisfaction of saying “I told you so”.

Well, guess what. Everyone else already knows everything you do. The volunteers are systemd aren’t going go to jail for you. They haven’t implemented age verification yet (no, an optional field in a schema is nothing close to verification) because they haven’t been forced to yet. If laws pass such that they have to add it or go to jail, yes they’ll implement it.

And when that happens, it will be because people like you took the effort to divide us instead of presenting a unified front against the corporations that are lobbying to take away our privacy.

But you won’t care about the last part, because you’ll be feeling too smug from “calling it”.

And you can go contact your local/state/federal government representatives (I mean actually call, or go to town halls). But you won’t, because hating on systemd is more important to you than your privacy.

It’s as plain as day. You’ll agree with me in a few years.

You’re shooting the messenger. Meta and others are lobbying governments hard for this. They’re the ones causing you to lose your privacy. Not the volunteers that maintain systemd.

Yep. Tailscale uses wireguard under the hood so that setup sounds exactly the same.

The Cloudflare tunnel is free. They don’t seem to have a traffic cap either. They’ll charge you if you want to use a non apex domain (e.g. subdomain) or if you need their more advanced bot detection/defense products. But a basic/standard setup like what us self hosters have is free.

Yes, and yes.

Their Android app feels like an exact clone of the Google Photos Android app.

To access it remotely, you can use Tailscale like someone else mentioned. But you need to have Tailscale installed on everyone’s phones.

You can also use a Cloudflare Tunnel to allow it to be accessed over the Internet without exposing anything from your home network directly to the Internet.

The latter is useful when I want to share a secret link to a photo album after hanging out with people so everybody can upload the photos they took to one place (something I used to do a lot with Google Photos)

Does everything Google photos does. Their app looks/feels exactly Google’s app, including sharing links. Assuming you’re running it on reasonably powerful hardware, it does all the same face recognition and ML based search that Google photos does.
