I mean, just look at Brexit.

You take these things seriously because they can have adverse consequences, and that minority may not be as much of a minority as you might think.

If you’re in a room and a quarter of the people in that room want to burn the room down, do you not take them seriously because it’s only a quarter of the room?

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??

And your point is?

Does the amount of time that you’ve been doing a crime excuse that crime?

So the executive branch, exercising power it literally doesn’t have to exercise?

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.

To be fair, most of Lemmy isn’t either. Same dog piling and emotional based crowd behavior here as there is there. If you want to speak critically about something not well aligned to the viewpoint and opinions of others here you get shot down and shit on the same, if not worse, than on reddit (echo chamber effect seems stronger here).

I’d say the ratio is about the same, it is the Internet after all.

Difference being that reddit also has platform abuse and manipulation that Lemmy doesn’t.

Exposed endpoints that have no authentication and various other things like that.

It’s application level security issues.

Yes for yourself on a device that supports it but that doesn’t address what my post stated.

The devices that I listed in my post are still going to run to the same problem in that sense that you’re not going to be able to run tailscale on them either.

It is incredibly difficult to get jelljfin ypen into your friends or your parents or grandparents house without considerable setup and maintenance over time.

And effectively none of the Jellyfin clients support this…

So that’s not going to work anyways on your friend’s TV or their Xbox or their Roku or something else like that.

Problem is access outside your home for family and friends.

There are serious security gaps that make it a non starter to expose to the internet.

I’ve been using Jellyfin ever since they forked out of Emby, and honestly, it’s the biggest complaint that I have. It is incredibly difficult to make it available to friends and family who are on various devices, networks, so on and so forth.

Whereas Plex “just works.”

I think a statistic I saw recently was that nearly 50% of American consumer spending is attributed to the top 10% of consumers.

Which would largely indicate that it doesn’t matter because those who have the money will continue to spend it and those that don’t will continue to get poorer.

Paving the way towards giving overreaching governments and corporations power over what you’re allowed to print

Voter suppression

Oh yes, the routers and gateways that most people have that are isp provided that may not actually have open VPN or wireguard support.

Those ones?

Also putting a VPN in someone else’s house so that all their Network traffic goes through your gateway is pretty damn extreme.

Nor will the VPN work on things like their TV or Roku or game console. You know the things that people typically sit down and watch media on…

Which doesn’t work for The grand majority of devices that would be used to watch said media.

Tvs game consoles rokus so on so forth typically don’t support VPN clients.

The Jonathan clients for these devices also typically don’t support alternative authentication methods which would allow you to put jellyfin behind a proxy and have the proxy exposed to the internet. Gating all access to jellyfin apis behind a primary authentication layer thus mitigating effectively all security vulnerabilities that are currently open.
