  • I use Nginx Proxy Manager and whitelist my remote users. They all have static IPs though, so its a workable solution for me.

    Before I used a whitelist I would go through the access logs, and could never find any attempts to exploit the endpoints - only some random bots trying to find some admin page assuming it was another service. Not saying you shouldn’t take it seriously, but you are likely not subject to these attacks the moment you expose it.

    That said, there is a discussion about these endpoints on their repo. At some point they will be fixed (my impression is that they are hampered by legacy Emby code). When they do, you could do this more securely.


  • But I don’t actually know what the new behavior is. I think it is that it never receives a termination signal, and is then just killed instead, and if that is the case, how can I modify it do catch that?

    What I intend to do tomorrow is to rewrite all the output (which I had hoped to avoid having to do for this) to write directly to a log file instead of trying to capture the print statements for this initially “only-meant-for-me” piece of code. That way I won’t have to do anything but run the Python script and it should receive the termination signal as intended. But as I said, I would still like to understand what is going on.




  • I use this for archiving news and magazine articles as well (with snapshots), sorted on topic so that I 1) might be able to remember where I read something and easily find an article again if I discuss it with someone and 2) have a good starting point for researching something I don’t have time for or the will for now.

    I have set up the file sync on a self-hosted WebDAV server as well as it quickly racks up storage space with all those snapshots and you fairly quickly reach the top tier storage plan they offer.

    Zotero 7 brought some good UI improvements, but it is really resource heavy (at least on Linux). A CLI-interface as was mentioned under here would be interesting.
