Yes it is completely normal. The Internet is almost but not quite as bad as security wonks claim. Especially since you're not on the default port, most scanners don't have the programming to attempt on Home assistant. Most of them are built for more common exploits.
If you look at your proxy logs, you'll see attempts at various random paths, but those should all be 404 or 403s.
SSHFS uses SFTP which is built into SSH, so no server to install. Its not as fast as NFS, but requires no setup. For something small like a home lab, that is a big advantage.
Google dumped the Pebble OS code on GitHub when this whole "rePebble" thing (not Rebble) started. Now there's a new phone app coming out soon (or out now, depending on your platform and abilities) that handles old and new Pebbles and modern phone platforms.
True, but there's not much one can do about others' stubbornness. I've been using cheap Android boxes with Kodi or the JF client installed. They make sense to my non-techie family. Dedicated boxes are better (something that can run CoreELEC, OpenELEC) but those are harder to find.
Because that basically requires transcoding for modern codecs. H265? Transcode. Subtitles? Transcode. The JF client on the same hardware can usually direct play.
Not OP, but I've been looking for something like this. I've got a couple of refrigerators and a deep freeze I'd like to monitor. I'm not looking for a cooking tool that constantly sends updates. For that I'd like to use a multi-probe Bluetooth device. I've got Zigbee for other sensors, and I'd like to add these to the net
Unpopular opinion from what I've seen in this forum, but for me it is Nextcloud followed by Jellyfin.
I use Nextcloud setup fory whole family, about a dozen all together. I even sprang for the DavX5 plugin for several people so we can share calendars and contacts as well as files and notes. We backup photos from our phones using the Nextcloud app. Several of us use it as a backend for KeePass.
We use Jellyfin for streaming; movies, tv, music videos and music. It is the backend storage and library organizer for four Kodi boxes, five browsers, several phones and tablets and a couple of Roku's. It works like a champ, even with the occasional library re-sync.
Ah. It just didn't compute for me. I'd think stopping the DHCP server or making it not listen on that interface would be easier than trying to firewall it off.
Yeah, blocking thise inbound and outbound will quiet that service.
That is effectively what I had with my EZVIZ doorbell-cam. The image quality was actually really good compared to my basic cameras (2k, 180-degree FoV, daylight and infrared modes). The reason I went this way is that it's damn near impossible to run any sort of wires to the front porch location (Very long story, involving bore-scopes, drills, failure and drywall repairs) which is why I went this way, even with some people being weirded out by the camera on the doorbell.
I may have to go this route if I can't find a doorbell-cam that doesn't suck and is still available for purchase, but that will take months and several tests of the WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor).
Ah, so you're the kind who loves bitching about things online, but won't lift a finger to defend themself, gotcha.
What I mentioned prior doesn't change anything about library management in the slightest, you just wanted an excuse.
