Oh yes it’s a thing, to a lesser extent than Reddit though obviously. In order for anything to be done about it though, the bot accounts usually have to do something that betrays the fact that they’re bot accounts though. Such as accidentally passing through a variable instead of the value, such as with your post. Hence why you will see people question you

For good reason. For years bots have been making Reddit posts just to farm for content for YouTube videos or market research

The way it works is that finding vulnerabilities required a lot of technical understanding and mental effort. A software could have a glaring hole in it for years without anyone finding out simply due to nobody really looking. AI just gives you the ability to do rudimentary exploit analysis around the clock without having to spend your own time. This is a wake up call to anyone making software in sloppy fashion.

But it isn’t quite as easy as saying “AI hack into this service”, if the person doing the hacking is using the same model as the person who made the service, and that person already asked the AI to do that and fixed the resulting exploit prior to release.

Even projects that use AI in a limited fashion to code or even not at all, often use AI to at least do some red team stuff prior to release.

I haven’t used Umbrel but I’m pretty sure it predates the AI times

Even with the inflated prices, buying storage is much cheaper than renting it from cloud services.

The target lifetimes for a NAS hard drive is 5 years. A 16TB NAS drive will cost less over that 5 years than Apple’s 2TB cloud storage plan. And that’s assuming Apple won’t raise over those 5 years (they will).

You didn’t know that when you posed a question to the community that people would answer it?

So you asked the question in bad faith because you just wanted to whinge about Jellyfin, got it.

I’m not saying you don’t think it’s polished, I’m saying that if Jellyfin is where you set the bar for what “polished” means to you, then the rest of the open source world is going to blow your mind.

Jellyfin being a duct taped mess on the other hand isn’t part of any subjective opinion, that’s just the state the software is in.

I mean sure it would seem polished if that’s the one one you’ve ever used and have no point of reference lol

I wouldn’t call it subjective. The issues that it has are all objectively there, whether or not you’re bothered by them is what’s subjective.

Running your own crypto miners doesn’t make sense anymore because the cost of electricity. Running a crypto miner using someone else’s electricity on the other hand…

Because Jellyfin is an ugly, duct taped together mess. It’s very utilitarian at best, when everything is working. Ease of use is just not there for your non-technical friends and family.

Nah it’s more like all the sites and services that used blocked links that you have to add to the whitelist or in some cases be able to turn the protection off and on. It’s a regular occurrence for me

Because you have to mess with it all the time. It’s easier to get in and get out to make changes with the nice interface. It’d be different if it was set it and forget it but realistically it’s not.

The main way is it has a built in recursive DNS server so you don’t have to duct tape Pi Hole and Ubound together

You shouldn’t put your IaC out in the public internet for everyone to see.

CrowdSec isn’t really for protection against novel threats. It’s just a crowdsourced Fail2Ban that’s extensible with custom rules.

If you and I are both using CrowdSec, and some foreign machine is trying to brute force into one of my services, then when it tries to do the same to you it doesn’t even get the chance to try. It cuts down on the load.

You can also define your own scenarios. Most of the rules it ships with block IPs using a leaky bucket method but I have a custom rule that instantly blocks anyone trying to log into anything using usernames like admin, root, pgadmin, etc.

Hetzner recently skyrocketed the pricing of their VPS offerings.

Linode? You mean Akamai Connected Cloud?

Tell it to your Discord kitten

Yes, back to enjoying your Reddit moderating

No, no moral high ground or grandstanding…just reality

No it’s 100% grandstanding, sorry.

What I’m pointing out is that, at the end of the day, it’s not your lump of clay to mold even if you disagree with the way it’s being molded.

So ultimately you’re adding nothing to the conversation at all. Yes this is the behavior I’m describing lol. VERY reddit behavior.

Hmm seems everyone is living in the same reality is you though, so your comment has no substance or meaning other than some weird self-enlightened moral grandstanding.

Cool, nobody said you did.

Similarly, there’s no binding contract that says when you remove features from your software’s community edition in order to drive more profits without any added value, I’m disallowed from criticizing you for it.

I’m not a big fan of this sort of pseudo-philosophical contrarian fence-sitting.

I mean sure, he’s not technically wrong, but it also implies that while Developers have the freedom to perform these rug-pulls (they do), the author simultaneously wags their finger at the people who have freedom to react the way they have.

Developers (companies) are not entitled to be free from criticism or backlash for acting shitty.

“HugeNerd”

“Ok so that was a fucking lie”

It is a skill much like maintaining a car yourself, or your own lawn/garden.

It’s pretty easy to get started, and there are certain ways of doing things that keep it pretty simple forever, at the cost of some flexibility.

But no matter how you do it, there will be a non-zero amount of work involved indefinitely. Just like you need your cars oil changed, your garden mulched and weeded, or your server patched and cleaned up once in awhile.

This was the peak of human civilization.

That’s why I switched to Emby and only sometimes regret it lol.

Jellyfin can’t even do smart collections of TV and movies

Since Nextcloud stores your actually data on the disk, it doesn’t actually matter all that much tbh
