Wikipedia says “As of February 2014, the extent to which open-source clients meet this requirement remains unknown.”

That’s old but may still be the case. However, I’d imagine if RHEL wanted to comply with mpeg’s h246 patents, they will do the same for rdp.

I saw that RDP was proprietary. I know that some proprietary protocols have open source implementations, is that the case here?

Mobile wikipedia on computers looks nice

Not even that bad, they are learning about electricity in a hands-on manner. USB standards protect against short circuits so this is over exaggerated heavily.

cloudflare would, but you dont even need it if you are comfortable with port forwarding. a reverse proxy just forwards traffic to and from a device through a device. nginx is a popular platform for reverse proxies because it’s easy to set up and configure.

Jellyfin is not designed to be exposed directly. It can be but I wouldn’t recommend it. If you are insistent on doing it, I would absolutely recommend engine X reverse proxying with a rate limit to prevent any brute force attacks as well as hiding your family’s account on the login screen so not just anyone can see them. Also remember you need an SSL certificate which you can either self-sign or get from a free CA like let’s encrypt.

Tail scale works quite well but can be limiting in speed. Your family does not need any technical knowledge. They just sign in on the app and you can add their account to your tail scale domain. Keep in mind you may need to pay if you add more than three, I believe, users.

The third and best option for you in my opinion would be a VPN. It doesn’t suffer from the same speed issues that tailscale does. Technical setup would be a bit more difficult than tail scale, but you can do it on your family’s device once and it should just always work. Youll need port forwarding, but that’s really easy. One thing though, your internet service provider might change your IP address periodically. So you might want a domain name and dynamic DNS, which I would suggest you get from a service called FreeDNS. Like in the name, everything is free, unless you choose to donate , of course. They have it very intuitively laid out where you can use CRON to run a script periodically that just sends a curl ping to their servers so that they know what your new IP address is if it changes. It’s a pretty simple setup.

can you link the bot here

Not only that, but they make popular watches(forerunner, fenix, instinct) and outdoor devices like their inreach satellite communicator and gps handhelds. They also make automotive, marine, and aviation gear for navigation.

NOOOO GARMIN

Don’t connect your Roku to the internet.

And chances are it’s all cloud work that they’re doing on the computers.

I don’t know about yts, but last time I checked 1337x is totally safe as long as you download from trustworthy sources.

On lemmy default UI, it lets you automatically replace the link with an archive link.

Is there a viable replacement to google assistant that’s self hosted or local?

Yes, I’ll look into how hardened that unsafe browser is, because that would be an ideal solution for me. Thank you very much.

Is that browser hardened to the extent the tor browser is? I looked this up and have seen conflicting reports. If it is, that would probably be a viable solution.

I appreciate your attempt to help, but I do also realize that what I’m asking for is rather niche and may not exist.

It’s frequently blocked by CloudFlare and other “web security” services. I find that I don’t need the anonymity that it provides as much as I need working websites.

I would like an already hardened environment from boot. That includes the kernel hardening and browser hardening that Tor has.

I get what you’re saying, a live USB does 80% of that with a bit more work, but I would still like to find a solution to this out there.

If there isn’t one, I’m ready to accept that and come up with my own solution.
