    You can share jellyfin over the net.

    The security issues that tend to be quoted are less important than some people claim them to be.

    For instance the unauthorized streaming bug, often quoted as one of the worst jellyfin security issues, in order to work the attacker need to know the exact id of the item they want to stream, which is virtually impossible unless they are or have been an authorized client at some point.

    Just set it up with the typical bruteforce protections and you’ll be fine.














  • It doesn’t really makes much sense.

    The amount of power is the same. They don’t get more power by voting a pope every 5 years rather than every 30 years. They still vote for the pope, the person in that position is always there because it was voted by the Cardinals.

    If something it would be the opposite. Selecting a person for a longer period would give you more power as your decision is more time in place unable to be challenged.






  • Some people like to travel in Minecraft. There’s something in just picking a direction and moving there for days, exploring. In Minecraft you would never reach the end. In Luanti you’ll hit the end of the world in a few hours.

    Also for massive multiplayer purposes. Servers with hundreds of people are impossible in luanti’s size.

    And it’s not just me. You go to Luanti’s forum and one of the biggest threads is one asking for infinite worlds, players want it.

    They used to say the the world size was embedded deep into the code and that a massive rewrite would be needed for that and that it was not worth it. But someone already made a fork that has this feature and didn’t change that much so… And no, the fork is not a solution due to Luanti “modular” approach that fork is incompatible with any Luanti game so there’s no game really just the base “engine”.

    I don’t have high hopes of devs ever addressing that, so I stopped following the project. I hope be proven wrong, but something tells me that it’s a change that will never me made.
