there’s just 2 official servers. the default selection is the one in the USA. you can use any of them regardless of where you live.
there are other public servers too, and it can also be selfhosted.

Oh! you are right, this page works but I didnt realize I need to whitelist scripts and script requests for it.
But even on this view I can only go until the 14th page, where it says the same thing:
Sorry, guest/bot limit reached. Please login (register) to increase the limit (or unlimited with MobyPlus!)
Dont you also see this?

this page says so: www.mobygames.com/game/
after sending that comment I noticed that I can also just browse by platform, but those lists are limited to 6 pages :/ see the notice at the bottom below the page switcher: www.mobygames.com/platform/win3x/…/page:5/
- Comment on [UFO 50] Hamter attacks 5 weeks ago:
well I actually know neither. I have very slight memories of it. I think I was using windows XP at the time. the game, as I remember, was a bit like those physical fidget games today, in that there was no story (or I didn’t understand it yet) or any kind of goals (that I could understand?). there were multiple different locations in the game, one of them us a kitchen similar to this one, but I’m not sure if I could regularly walk across them, or just click on doors or something to move to another location.
given that I couldn’t yet read at the time (I think), I have no memories of its title or the desktop icon, or at least I wasn’t able to recall it in any degree for a long time.I expect that back then there were much fewer games released in a given timespan than today, but I don’t even know where could I see even a list of them that I could go through.
- Comment on [UFO 50] Hamter attacks 5 weeks ago:
this kitchen reminds me of a game that I played relatively lot as a little kid, around 2005 or so, probably even before I learnt to read because I don’t remember its name at all.
how do you even start to find such games?

- Comment on Tech Companies Apparently Do Not Understand Why We Dislike AI 1 month ago:
it does. it locally aggregates, collects data about what you do on your computer across the days and weeks.
- Comment on Tech Companies Apparently Do Not Understand Why We Dislike AI 1 month ago:
it is, and that is still happening.
- Comment on Tech Companies Apparently Do Not Understand Why We Dislike AI 1 month ago:
the point is that making it local-only is not significantly better. it does not solve a major problem.

I have been using IPS displays for many years, and I had to look up what is IPS glow. now I see it, but it doesn’t bother me. what bothers me is that my dell monitor is absolutely garbage on reproducing dark colors, while my much older cheap LG is very good in that. like, the black background of the terminal shows a very visible difference

Your smart TV is (presumably) on your local network
often, but not always. sometimes the TV is at a different house, when you are a guest or at a second property

oh, in your firewall. I think I can count the percents on one hand about how much of jellyfin users run a firewall applience besides it

I’m not exposing jellyfin, but for sure I wouldn’t let my plex server even see the internet (I bet iy wouldn’t even work that way).
jellyfin is perfectly accessible everywhere it needs to be. been using a VPN on my phone for ages for all traffic.
- Comment on I don't know who needs to hear this, but DO NOT EVER expose Jellyfin to the internet 2 months ago:
that’s but no. I like my privacy more
- Comment on I don't know who needs to hear this, but DO NOT EVER expose Jellyfin to the internet 2 months ago:
is that a feature in Jellyfin? and since when do all ISP subscribers have names in DNS?
- Comment on I don't know who needs to hear this, but DO NOT EVER expose Jellyfin to the internet 2 months ago:
wireguard has been going fine here for 5+ years. only problems were when that garbage raspberry crashed as it always does (but that’s an issue with the hardware) and when the IP changes, but that’s mitigated by dynamic DNS
- Comment on I don't know who needs to hear this, but DO NOT EVER expose Jellyfin to the internet 2 months ago:
aaaand now you smart tv can’t connect. none of them. the clients dont even support http basic auth creds put into the URL for some crazy reason.
for advanced HTTP-level authentication you would need to run a reverse proxy on the TV’s network that would add the authentication info. for the VPN idea you would need to tunnel the TV’s network’s internet connection at the router. or set up a gateway address in the TVs network settings that would do that. or use a reverse proxy here too so that it repeats the request to the real server.
but honestly, this is the real and only secure way anyway. I wouldn’t be comfortable to expose jellyfin even if the devs are real experts. I mean vulns get discovered, in dotnet, jellyfin dependencies, linux filesystem, and reverse proxy, and honestly who has time to always tightly keep up to date with all that.
that’s not to discount the seriousness of the issue though, it’s a real shame that jellyfin is so much against security

I remember when they were arguing that you don’t need a VPN or proxy basic authentication in frontbof it because their team knows how to write secure code…
