Eh. I use Usenet and honestly the reliability sucks. I almost never successfully get quality media from there. It’s either missing too many blocks, doesn’t exist, or is grossly mislabeled.

It’s reasonable to be annoyed by this.

I’ve built automatic tools within client software that handle file types and basic security better than this, < 5 years into my career as an inexperienced dev.

It’s crazy that not only is executable downloading not blocked by default for a media downloader, but as fast as I can tell it’s not even doing magic bytes based format detection…?

Wait, wtf, this isn’t on by default??

I have a literal HDD in a pelican case.

I plug it into my NAS periodically, clone over to it, scrub for bit rot, put it back in the case and drop it at my BILs.

Plenty good enough.

Yeah, it should balloon out to 15TB or more I think

It’s literally says in the link.

I use jellyfin, and jellyfin is not safe to expose to the internet.

They have a handful of vulnerability and security holes that have been open for like 5+ years now. And the old emby architecture is quite difficult to work with.
