  • Without authentication; it's possible to randomly generate UUIDs and use them to retrieve media from a jellyfin server. That's about the only actually concerning issue on that list, and it's incredibly minor IMO.

    With authentication, users (ie, the people you have trusted to access your server) can potentially attack each other, by changing each others settings and viewing each other's watch history/favorites/etc.

    That's it. These issues aren't even worth talking about for 99.9% of jellyfin users.

    Should they be fixed? Sure, eventually. But these issues aren't cause to yell about how insecure jellyfin is in every single conversation, and to go trying to scare everyone off of hosting it publicly. Stop spreading FUD.

  • This capital battery is not yet used up; it may not be ejected.

  • At least you know he likes you...

  • The majority of protests involve taking over space temporarily; that alone doesn't make them not peaceful.

    They weren't invading/forcing their way into spaces that they weren't already openly invited to be in, nor were they violent towards officials that were demanding they leave (self-defense aside).

  • If peaceful protest is going to be consistently met with violent police response; maybe they should stop being peaceful from the outset.

  • Not far off

  • ARCADE

    Jump
  • Walk up to the first employee you can find and ask them if there's an arcade around here and where you can find it.

  • After destroying the USs reputation (even further), but before collecting any meaningful value/revenue.

  • Stop. FUCKING.

    TOUCHING. ME.

    MONCH

  • Most of the time you can't just join a couple having sex either...

    Like, if you just stumbled across a couple people doing the sideways tango in the woods; they probably aren't going to just let you strip down and join in.

  • Lived in Australia for a couple years and those were super common in all sorts of public bathrooms. (schools, bars, libraries, clubs)

    Basically just a wall covered in stainless steel, with a slope to a drain in the corner.

  • Yeah; Emby was originally called MediaBrowser and was a free open source project. 'MediaBrowsers' developers decided to move to a closed source paid model to establish some more consistent income and support the dedicated developers they have. Thus Emby was born.

    Some users were really unhappy with this decision and forked MediaBrowsers last release to create Jellyfin. Their development has been quite a bit slower, but they've made some significant strides in recent years. It's a more and more attractive option.

    One of my biggest reasons for sticking with Emby (besides already having a lifetime premier license) is the dedicated clients available on more platforms. Xbone is my primary streaming device, besides android: Emby has a dedicated xbox client you can install that will take full advantage of the the hardware(more content direct plays, HEVC video for example), where as Jellyfin you've gotta use the web browser which is cumbersome and forces the server to transcode media a lot more.

  • In the case of plex, it's not 100% selfhosted. There's a dependence on plexs public infrastructure for user management/authentication. They also help bypass NAT by proxying connections through their servers so you don't have to setup port forwarding and can even easily escape double NAT situations.

    I can understand paying for that convenience, but cost keeps rising while previously free features continue to get locked behind paywalls.

    Tbh, having users required to authenticate with plex.tv was enough for me to look elsewhere. The biggest reason to self host for me is to remove dependency on public services.

  • I got the same email.

    I haven't had plex installed for over 7 years, and I've NEVER used the shared libraries feature.

    We noticed that you’ve accessed libraries from friends and family in the past

    They've apparently noticed activity that's never occurred.

  • You could setup a user account like the share you're describing. There's a setting to prevent the user from changing their password.

    Just pass out those credentials to anyone you want to collaborate with; they don't need their own individual accounts.

  • I'll try the unsubscribe link, if that fails I'll directly email addresses like contact@company.example, info@, support@, service@, hr@, admin@, abuse@ requesting I be removed from their mailing lists.

    If all those fail (I'm still getting spam later), I whois lookup the domain and send a complaint to the listed abuse address for the registrar. That typically goes through AWS who follows up asking for the email source headers to investigate.

    It usually ends there.

  • I use https://filebrowser.org/ for this.

    Nice lightweight filebrowsing/sharing with user management. Users can have their own dedicated directories, or collaborate.

    You can also create share links that allow anyone with the link to view/download files. Optionally password protected.

    Here's a demo you can mess with: https://demo.filebrowser.org/ User: demo Pass: demo
