I have several services on my home server, most of which I access using Tailscale, and it works great. I had a couple services on Cloudflare tunnels in order to access them from devices that I can't put Tailscale on.

Plex is going to start charging for remote access. So I figured now would be the time to migrate to Jellyfin. But using Jellyfin on Cloudflare tunnels is against their TOS. I have a Roku TV at a remote location that I use to watch Plex. I won't be able to do that anymore. And I can't put Tailscale on it to serve Jellyfin that way.

I was going to set up Nginx Proxy Manager to use my domain name for Jellyfin so I didn't have to use Cloudflare tunnels. But in setting that up I found out that my ISP is double NATting me, and I haven't been able to find a way around it.

So I'm left with two options: 1) buy Plex Pass so I can continue to stream remotely; or 2) get a VPS, run Tailscale and NPM on it and switch to Jellyfin.

I'm looking for a sanity check to make sure the VPS thing would work the way I think it would. If it's running Tailscale then the double NAT would be a non-issue, correct? Is there another option that I haven't thought of yet? Which of the two options would you choose?

EDIT, just in case anyone comes across this later, I suppose: I ended up going with a Tailscale funnel and it's working beautifully so far. Setting it up gave me a little bit of trouble but it took nowhere near the amount of time to get working properly that any of the other solutions would have.

I've been using Kraken for a few years and liked it a lot. It had a very nice system of weekly purchasing. Now they have stopped operating in my jurisdiction and I need to find an alternative.

I previously used Coinbase and quit them when they wanted me to "re-verify" my driver's license with a new third party company, after I had been trading there with no issues for multiple years. I signed up on Gemini, their account verification "usually takes a couple of minutes" and has been pending in my case for nearly a week now. Not instilling a lot of confidence.

What's everyone's other favorites aside from Kraken, Coinbase, and Gemini?

Browsing Reddit at work like I've literally done every work day for the last six years, suddenly Reddit won't let me vote. Says my account has been suspended, but all I have to do is reset my password, using the email address I have on file. I don't have one. Can't get the email to reset the password, can't add an email now. I can be logged in but can't vote or comment or post. A 12 year old Reddit account down the drain. The password was unique, 20 characters with upper and lowercase letters, numbers, symbols. Generated by my password manager. No way someone compromised my account. Thanks, Reddit.

I'm trying to de-Google my life and self-host more. One tricky point with me is calendaring. I can get a CalDav server running and syncing with my Android phone without much hassle, but I haven't yet found a server or client that can send e-mail reminders for events, rather than just pop-up notifications.

I've been told to try Nextcloud. I tried installing it but it's overkill for me, and I don't want to deal with setting up a domain. Surely there can't be exactly one CalDav option that can send email reminders. But I've never heard anyone say anything other than "Nextcloud."

I'm looking for a community where discussion about the Lemmy software itself is discussed. I have a feature request and although I can't see any such request on the Lemmy github, it seems nearly impossible to me that no one has asked for it yet. I want to chat about it with other Lemmy users before determining if I'm way out in left field or not.
