i duct-tape a 22 to the side of the server with the trigger trip-wired to the wan port.

your move, iptables

my kids went their entire childhoods without suffering commercial-filled television (still dont)… its extends well past the pre-k stages.

cuz my kids are awesome, and most of the schools sucked. its cool, they were consistently the best performers.

they earned being treated like they might some day be adults.

its kinda crazy having your own personal netflix, right?

i originally used it so my kids could watch cartoons in school

im a simple user

I don’t really like watching things

then this shit aint for you. just because you can do something doesnt mean you have to want to do it.

im old and have been doing this for almost 30 years. long before jellyfin; my kids never suffered commercials, never had to worry about some streaming service going up or down. they never had to care whether some source had the show they wanted. even when away from home, they were streaming my shit.

my very large curated collection may be less random than some iptv streams, but sure as fuck is more reliable, dependable, quality controlled and well, i dont even need to have fucking internet access for my shit (my library) to work for me.

i get it. i ran my own server for 15 years… and i stopped ~ 8 years ago. it was just too annoying between the spam filtering and -todays-new-security-enhancement-

email is the one service im happy to pay someone to do… from a bunker in switzerland. google not required.

…but you cant not use email and function in the technological world of today. email isnt about communication any longer. its about security and authentication.
