I might have phrased that badly with the 5 years thing. Obviously no one doing open source owes anyone else their time or effort. I do think that projects which stay afloat for a significant amount of time are those where the maintainers keep using the software for their own purpose.

In any case, I wish you good luck with that project, and might become a user if it comes to fruition too.

Most of these "project-but-without-" forks tend to be abandoned rather quickly unfortunately. Maintaining compatibility with a large codebase that is not yours is not the fun part of software development.

I would say clbre and arcalibre are already abandoned, looking at the activity on these repos (none in clbre, and issues/PRs piling up in arcalibre). If you can envision yourself still dedicating your time to this endeavor 5 years from now, you might as well move forward with your own thing.

GloSC used to be the way to go, in order to use the original Steam Controller with UWP games from Xbox gamepass. It is no longer developed or maintained due to ViGEmBus being EoL'd. Could still work though.

Seems the author of GloSC has moved on to SISR, which you already know about.

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.

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.

I have searched for such a game, featuring both realistic driving and open world roaming.

I settled on BeamNG.drive which can do that out of the box, even though it's capable of much more. While it lacks the high quality environments of the Forza Horizons it has very good wheel and even VR support and is simply the best automobile sandbox around.

For me the must-have are:

  • Democratic Detonation (everything)
  • Freedom's Flame (fire resist armors and cookout)
  • Servants of Freedom (ultimatum and hellbomb)

Then optionally:

  • Dust Devils (elemental resist armors, coyote and harpoon)
  • Control Group (warp pack, epoch)
  • Urban Legend (siege-ready armors, AT emplacement)
