Isn't the US leading the world in AI?

Yes and no... You just don't hear about the Chinese ones as much but there's some that are up there with openai and Google, and there's a very real concern that Trump's policies will allow/encourage the global adoption of Chinese ai like Alibaba and Tencent's ones. There was a whole report recently about the potential effect a popular Chinese ai would have due to it being able to manipulate facts and history, and people just not questioning it

Definitely nothing new, that's been going on since before I got into 3d printing like 7 years ago.

There was a point where having a good first layer was actually critical to having good print bed adhesion and successful prints. 99% of problems were solved by re leveling the bed and/or cleaning it.

Now, with abl and fancy tools like lidar and better bed surfaces, it's not nearly as essentially to get a perfect first layer, but it's still a sign of a well calibrated printer.

I dare say it's one of those things that's just hung around because as waves of new users join the community (especially around times like Xmas when a lot of new people join), they start researching stuff and see older users posting about their first layer and think of it as some kind of rite of passage, so they post theirs.... And then the next group come in and see it, wash rinse repeat....

You'll only get the nasty letters if you use public trackers... I've been on starlink since it came to Australia and never once got a nasty letter or warning or anything, and I don't have any VPN going

You're right about the upload speed though

Oh that looks cool, is this to stamp things you're making or just playing with it for fun?

I do vaguely remember something about it getting changed, but yeah, as you said unless you're sharing it with a bunch of people, it's probably not enough to trigger anything on their side anyway

I think theres a nice variety of methods out there now that there's no "one right way" to do it which I think is great compared to just a few years ago where your only real options were a reverse tunnel or CloudFlare tunnels

Why would you need an expensive switch for CF tunnels??

It bypasses the switch and forms a tunnel directly to the machine and you don't need to change any configuration on the switch

Both options can expose any service as long as the machine has internet

first your questions

Is the tunnel solution appropriate for jellyfin?

Yes but also no. the tldr is It will work, but video streaming is against CloudFlare rules. I ran this way for about 2 years with Plex just for my own use, so for about 15 hours a week on 480p and I never got my service suspended, but I've heard stories of others getting suspended.... So just know it's a risk

I suppose it's OK for vaultwarden as there isnt much data being transfered?

That's a good use of tunnels

Would it be better to run nginx proxy manager for everything or can I run both of the solutions?

You can definitely run both solutions (tunnel points to npm, npm towards to all other services), and it saves you setting up tunnels for each service

Now for my 2 cents

As others have suggested, tailscale funnel is a valid option. A reverse proxy using a VPS is also a valid option. And as I pointed out, doing the CloudFlare tunnel is an option if you're willing to accept the risk.

My current setup is using a free Oracle VPS with a small nginx docker container forwarding all port 80 and 443 traffic through a tailscale. On the other end is a nginx proxy manager docker container that points to all my services across the network. I have my CloudFlare details configured in nginx proxy manager to generate a wildcard SSL certificate that I apply to all my local services

Inside the network, I use adguard to redirect the domain to the local LAN IP of the nginx proxy manager server to avoid traffic going through the internet.

Then all you need to do is point the domain on CloudFlare dns to the Oracle server, and you'll have several layers of separation between the internet and your local LAN , as well as SSL certs both internally and externally on any services you share

It might not be the most elegant setup, but I share my Plex server (as well as about 30 other things) with several other people and can handle multiple 1080p streams going through it without any issue and it's been nice and stable for over a year without any issues

Thanks :) it's my first time actually trying to plate up a meal properly haha so it's really nice to hear this!!

Glad you got it sorted

Oooh this setup just got installed on a highway in my town, I've been wondering what it was since it was installed just past one of the vehicle counting strips they use

No, because I don't agree with their methods... Just like any extremist group might have a good message but doesn't mean I agree with them bombing oil pipelines or kidnapping people

Attacking rocks does nothing to progress their cause... Attacking things in the environment doesn't even line up with their cause of wanting to protect the environment

As long as they stick to actually attacking the companies and groups that actually are the cause of the problems, I would support their methods and as a result, them as a group

So are caves, yet humans can very easily cause damage to them accidentally, let alone deliberately
