  • It’s trivial to prevent them from being able to chat with anyone else in roblox and if they’re under 13 it’s set to that by default. As far as I’m aware the main thing these pedophiles do is try to get your kid over to discord where they can get and send photos and videos. Just letting your kid play roblox doesn’t automatically make you a terrible parent.









  • There’s a few ways, but it’s similar to hosting anything yourself. You could, if you’re not too bothered by it, just forward the port that jellyfin is using. You do this in your routers settings and you can see/change the port in jellyfins settings. Then you give your friends the device that’s hosting jellyfin’s ip address and they type it in when logging into the app. That’s simple and quick and not secure at all. But it’s really one of those things that 99 times out of 100 it’s fine.

    You can use something like tailscale to connect your friends devices to your network, I didn’t do it so I don’t really know the details, but you’d need it installed on all of their clients. This is (probably) the most secure way but it’s a pain in the butt for users, compared to other ways. https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/post-install/networking/tailscale/

    I ended up using nginx as a reverse proxy, and bought a domain name so I could just tell people “go into jellyfin wherever you want and type in domain.com, then pick the profile I made you.” I was really new to this nginx thing when I did it, so I don’t have a deep understanding of why it’s better than just forwarding the port but it is.
