I can set it up, and you can set it up, but for the average user?

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The average user isn't using Jellyfin

All you need is a little Linux knowledge in order to setup Netbird with Caddy

I'm talking average enough to see an article, or hear about it from a friend/coworker, then follow the insanely easy setup directions for Windows. I know plenty of people who aren't really "computer people" but know enough to open a port because they had to to get a game working at some point or another. Those people probably wouldnt notice "hey this thing is going to http maybe i should rethink this...."

These are going to be the people who think it's smart to just open up RDP and SSH to the wide web though...they shouldn't be forwarding ports...they should use a VPN.

I had to explain to one of them why RDP is a bad idea lol. Thats kind of my point - average people tend to only know enough to be dangerous, not to do things safely. Or as Shakespeare said - "The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.”

[–] Shnog@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yeah. This is why you don't encourage normies to port forward....they make everyone a domain admin and open up RDP...

[–] kieron115@startrek.website 1 points 3 months ago

Yeah I had to convince them to try RustDesk so they would stop using RDP. Like I said, a lot of people just know enough to be dangerous.
