i should be gripping rat

  • google should experiment with sucking my ass

  • I've been on Tidal for a year or so now, as a slightly more ethical alternative to Spotify. I've been meaning to work on acquiring albums via Bandcamp or otherwise and storing them on my Jellyfin server - there's some really good stuff that just isn't on Tidal cause the artist isn't big enough. But I really value having a music streaming service for discovery.

  • yeah, it's essentially open-source Plex

  • I posted this below in reply to a similar comment. If you don't like the way the devs have handled the raising of concerns, then fine, that's kind of a judgment call and I can't tell you what you should feel comfortable with. In my limited experience with the Jellyfin devs (including reading through the responses on that thread you linked), I do not personally get the impression that they are downplaying or refusing to correct issues. To me, it seems more like they are prioritizing some issues over others, and the outstanding security issues seem pretty minor for most use cases.

  • idk the full history, but Joshua's comment here does not give me the impression of devs that are just deliberately ignoring security issues. It seems like they are simply balancing priorities, which is what all good devs should do. Personally I like that client compatibility is valued over everything else - I would be pissed if they broke the Fire TV client to fix a minor security hole on a niche Linux distro, because then one of my users would be SOL. And as Joshua says in that comment:

    many other options are now open to us in a post-10.11 landscape now that we have a proper library database ready.

    So it seems like now they are better set up to address the security issues without breaking compatibility.

  • So, I am not going to deny that those security issues exist, but it seems like they would only pop-up in niche situations, or only if someone already had access to your admin profile. Most people are using Jellyfin to share their media with themselves and their tech-illiterate friends in family. In that use case, the only people who even know my server URL are people I have shared that info with privately. Nobody is trying to hack my admin account.

    Now, I am no infosec expert. Maybe there are folks that are trying to run larger operations, and for those people I can understand why these security issues may become concerning if you don't have a tight handle on the circle of people that have access to your server. That said, it's also a bit silly to expect a free, open source solution to meet your needs in that scenario, anyway. If you know and understand the issues that well, then maybe go join the dev team and patch the holes. That is the beauty of open source, anyone can jump in and fix it.

  • Setting up a reverse proxy and dynamic domain is not one click

    Maybe not for the server administrator, but for users, it's mega easy. Download Jellyfin app on TV. Enter URL for server. Login like a normal streaming service. Done. As far as I know, Plex requires these same steps, so if Plex works for your 89 year old grandparents, Jellyfin would as well.

    Jellyfin has also yet to resolve the unsecured api

    In what way is the API insecure? What types of attacks are you concerned about?

  • such as...?

  • Until jellyfin can be 1 click accessed from anywhere securely over clear net it’s not a replacement.

    It can be, speaking from extensive personal experience. I followed their Reverse Proxy guides, now my tech-illiterate friends access my server over https via a duckdns url.

  • is there some security incident you have in mind involving jellyfin?

  • It's kind of the last slice they have left for gaming. Windows remains the de facto platform for PC gaming. It's not as big as the segments you are describing, but it's critical to Xbox's near future plans. If they lose that advantage in gaming (Linux gaming is on the rise), Xbox becomes just another third-party publisher in the games space.

  • Gotta get on a private tracker, bud. They are real quick on it.

    Microsoft AI CEO pushes back against critics after recent Windows AI backlash — "the fact that people are unimpressed ... is mindblowing to me"

  • Great visual pun, but I think it's a narrow slice of people that know of Jojo Siwa and Curtis Sliwa. I think that's gonna be mostly TikTok kids that were political enough to pay attention to the third place NY mayoral candidate. I only know who Sliwa is bc of the SNL parody of the mayoral debate.

  • maybe it worked like that at one point. it's clear that it no longer works that way, not when the "innovators" also control all the levers of the economy. Everything is a pump-and-dump scheme these days.

  • Finally, an actually beneficial use case for AI. This is what this technology is good for, pattern predictions based on ridiculously large datasets. But noooo it's new technology so everyone wants to use it to make themselves rich. I hate this world.

  • You can never be ready for the death of parent. It's like your whole world gets turned upside down, something that has been true for your entire life is suddenly no longer true.

    Sorry to hear it, and I hope you're taking care of yourself and surrounding yourself with your favorite people. you're in my thoughts today

  • You're right, but still. Reduction of options is never good for the community.
