No way in hell i am giving a company complete remote access to my servers and clients.

This is not the invention of an IP KVM, those are old. This product just offers the functionality of an IP KVM for very little money.

It is based on completely different hardware. A Raspberry Pi CPU is much more expensive than the CPU that is used here.

Power issues can cause problems that the hardware glitches into states it should not be. Changing something in the BIOS or updating it. Hardware defects. OS upgrade fails (Kernel bug causes the network driver to fail) Etc. Etc.

Those devices are not for the weekly "oh my setup failed" its for the once in 10 years "i am on vacation and the server is not reachable and for some reasons my system crashed and has not rebooted by its own"

And for below 100€ it's a no-brainer.

You want the mail-crypt-plugin in dovecot.

I just set it up. Yes i dislike the fact, that you need another party for syncing it, but i doubt it would be possible otherwise, just too much work to support everyone.

I read up on GoCardless and they do not sound that evil

But not sure if i will keep the connection up. Will see i guess.

Really disliking that discord is used as helpdesk/forum. Not really searchable via the web.

Also no link to the repo.

And how often. have you said stuff that you have not received advertising for? You will notice it when you get a positive match but not on a negative.

Data collecting companies can predict/rate your behavior for more then 20 years based. Since then. it has been perfected. They know that you are interested in those topics without having the need to waste resources on recording and analyzing every single audio stream.

Extracting the key from a TPM is actually trivial but immense time consuming.

Basically this with probably more modern chips and therefore even smaller cells. https://youtu.be/lhbSD1Jba0Q

Also sniffing is a thing since the communication between CPU und TPM is not encrypted.

Wasn't the CVE fixed in a reasonable time frame? I seriously doubt that the maintainers would have ignored it if it wouldn't have been discussed so publicly.

AFAIK, to exploit it, you need network access to CUPS then add the printer and then the client needs to add/select a new printer on the client device and actively print something.

If CUPS is reachable from the internet, then the system/network is misconfigured anyway, no excuse for ignoring the issue but those systems have other sever issues anyway.

TPM is not only used by the system encryption. But no i do not use it for it. Not because of privacy, cause of security reasons.

Basically, when you do not run server side transcoding and instead rely on client side support you will run from time to time into issues. Jellyfin does not have the ppl to get every client to work with all the different formats on every hardware.

1080 h264/h265 does not say much about the media format. Those codec differentiate in things like Chroma (4:2:0; 4:4:4, etc) or in color depth like 8 or 10 bit. So not every h264 media file does run on the same hardware. Audio codecs are even more complicated.

I think since i setup my hardware transcoding I ran into a not playable file once. But depending on the hardware it can be worse. On android TV you may have to play around with the settings.

I understand that this can be a deal breaker for some ppl.

1. Not sure what you mean by that. Jellyfin has had an up to date version in the play store for years.
2. Yes every Profile is separated into its own account, that's by design and will most likely never change. An easy PIN option in the local network existed for years. Now you can even login with your phone app by entering a displayed PIN.
3. I remember very few media that i had issues with in the past. Depending on the transcode hardware you have some things can be tricky

Yes you have. Please explain to me the additional context. I seem to not grasp it.

What else are they doing then asking? Doing some marketing around it? If you get pressured by that you should not lead a company.

If you don't want a permissive license don't license your software that way, your motivation clearly doesn't align with these licenses anyway.

Why does asking for money not align with the licenses?

Any software potentially has security issues. The matter is how they deal with it.

You still need to store those secrets. You would probably refer to a keychain but in the end it is still a password/secret manager.

And the current implementation is not really better, services like paypal still do not allow you to use a passkey on the desktop.

That is why you use an open source manager. KeePassXC for example is not owned by a for-profit company.

Losing the container due to corruption disk failure etc can be easily managed with backups.

Losing the password. Yes this is a real valid scenario. I personally have no problem with that i manage fine for years without having to write it out on paper to backup it. A solution would be to actually write that password out somewhere and hide it/ put it into a safe. An attack then needs to attack both, depending if you use disk encryption it is easy to get access to the password safe or not. There are other things to consider, like you could try to hide it in a very long string of characters like 20 pages of random characters, even if you forget it you will be able to find it cause it is very likely that you remember a few characters.

I know a lot of services that log you out regularly. Or need a password when you change settings or whatever.

Well yea people with the "I don't care. I just press the button and it always works" model do exist.

WTF no. Password managers are reasonable secure. That is no i don't care behavior.

And when you are worried about password managers you should not use cookies. Stealing a cookie is much more simple than stealing and encrypting your password safe.

Differences in the thread model. And of course convince. How to you backup your paper regulary? How do you transfer it? What if you need to access a pasdword when you are not home?

Most ppl will just reuse or use very weak passwords when they have to write every password they have to enter.
