Yep, that’s why I call that a tradeoff. Far from perfect and yet so much better than nothing.

Pros:

• Likely cuts 99.99% of attacks.
• Nothing to do on client’s end.

Cons:

• Whitelisting must be updated everytime the client address changes.
• Not 100% bulletproof as operators (notably for mobile networks) can NAT multiple connections behind a single publicly addressable IPv4 address.
• Also IP addresses can be spoofed but I doubt that would be a major concern here.

No, not for remote access over the internet.

For a remote and non-technical user I would say IP whitelisting offers a decent tradeoff.

On your end you expose your jellyfin port to internet, but restrict at the router level to your user’s client IP address as soon as you have it. Obviously in practice this works best if the address does not change often.

KeePass features a built-in synchronization mechanism. I store my password file on google drive for ease of access on multiple devices. I set up triggers (on save, on custom button) to sync between the local copy and the cloud copy, using this guide: https://keepass.info/help/kb/trigger_examples.html#dbsync

Not a turnkey solution, but once setup it works like a charm.

Sysinternals (winternals) tools are so useful ! There is something for everyone there (TcpView, ProcExp are my personal go-tos). MS was well inspired to buy it and hire M. Russinovich.

I got a lot of mileage off my SD with Steamworld games, and they are very cheap right now : SteamWorld Essentials

And if you’re in the mood for puzzle platformers, the Trine games run beautifully : Trine: Ultimate Collection

It’s unlikely you can prevent install or remove entire features when Microsoft does not want you to. Depends on how baked-in they make it. More often than not it’s a game of whack-a-mole where you find out what toggles are available that disable stuff you do not want.

More unwanted bloat to disable, I guess.

Re-enabled experimental wake-on-bluetooth support for Steam Deck LCD, including support for LE peripherals

Just tested this with Xbox Series controllers. They are indeed able to wake up my SD LCD now, whereas only Nintendo Switch Pro Controllers (non BLE) used to work before.

You should make Jellyfin aware of your reverse-proxy IP address or hostname: (in my case localhost as the reverse proxy is running on the same machine).

How to send the X-Forwarded-For header depends on your reverse-proxy. In Caddy which I use, it does it by default.

Interesting on paper, but good luck running games with that setup.

If I understand correctly this basically starts a container which itself spawns a VM running windows. Good for running Minesweeper and probably not much else.

The short answer is: you don’t unfortunately.

You already listed what the options are. The Xbox app and UWP games are not an option on SteamOS, and Windows support is suboptimal. As for Xbox cloud, it’s alright as long as you have a good internet access, which kind of defeats the purpose of a handheld.

Definitely worth it ! Getting rid of the Delta fan high pitch whine certainly made me use my SD more.

On some trackers you can straight up pay to raise to raise your ratio, or even temporarily “freeleech”. This is all kinds of iffy, flirting with the scummy.

I did the fix today, with a small strip of electric tape folded in 2. Hopefully it holds long enough to get to the Steam Deck 2 🤞

I am aware, thanks. I did the whole noisy fan replacement a year ago 😁 https://sh.itjust.works/post/20372232 That worked really well and I am glad I did it.

Thanks for giving me hope for a “light” fix. How long did that hold until your unrelated RMA ?

Maybe if I could find an adequate one, but it’s likely to be expensive and they could as well break it for good.

Do you mean this part [https://www.ifixit.com/en-eu/products/steam-deck-power-button] ? I do not see how this would fix my issue since this does not include the switch, only the plastic button.
