  • I've been running my own searxng instance for a while now. It is very good 99% of the time. Miles better than the garbage that google generally returns.

  • It IS a cloud service. You should be smart enough to understand why.

    How many manual connections have you had to set up for your users? That's right, none. Why? Because Plex does it for you. That's that cloud part that you are so desperately ignoring.

  • Plex pass pricing didn't change for 10 fucking years. You can still stream locally (which is exactly what you're doing if you're using wireguard with Jellyfin, so you can use wireguard with your Plex and have the exact same experience) without a Plex pass.

    If the server owner has a Plex pass then you need do nothing.

    And for FUCKS SAKE, do NOT expose Jellyfin to the internet. It is an insecure pile of shit.

    Plex also warned a month ahead of time without changing pricing so that people could get lifetime Plex pass at the old price.

  • Discord confirms it's moving toward 'becoming a public company' as it hires a former Activision executive as its new CEO

  • The thing is that discord has fostered fantastic communities in the way that forums never could have. I have personally witnessed no less than 5 communities that are thriving due to primarily using discord. Their forums were an utter shit show.

    The fact that you can't seem to understand why people have done this means that you do not understand the fundamental issue at hand.

  • It isn't randomly generated. If you read through you would have known that.

    Also, Rainbow tables.

    tldr, Rainbow tables are precomputed lists of hashed values used to crack password hashes quickly. Instead of hashing each password guess on the fly, attackers use these tables to reverse hashes and find the original passwords faster, especially for weak or common ones. They're less effective against hashes protected by a unique salt.

  • The last set of comments is from 2024. These have not been addressed. The fact that it is possible to stream without auth is just bonkers.

    The entirity of jellyfin security is security via obscurity which is zero security at all.

    "As a cybersec researcher", the limp wristed, hand wavy approach to security should be sending up alarm bells. The fact that it doesn't, means that likely either, you don't take your research very seriously, or you aren't a "cybersecurity researcher".

    "Thank you for this list. We are aware of quite a few, but for reasons of backwards compatibility they've never been fixed. We'd definitely like to but doing so in a non-disruptive way is the hard part."

    Is truly one of the statements of all time.

  • The difference is that PRESUMABLY you aren't utterly dependent upon it. If vscode utterly fucks your repo with a shit command, you'll not really have any trouble fixing it. That's the huge difference. The point is not that all GUI controls are always bad all of the time, the point is that you need to know what the hell you are doing in git as a basic tenant of developer competency.

  • I said that you are probably not very good. Your lack of git knowledge and your seeming inability to learn git means that you'll likely never be able to function effectively in a development team and will only succeed in holding everyone back. Your lack of knowledge of version control overall is a massive point against you from the outset.

    If you're a solo developer and never need to collaborate with other developers then good for you, but you lack of version control knowledge means that you'll also probably end up being one of the ones crying that you lost 6 months of work because of stupid reason x y or z.

    Read up on fallacies, I did not use one. Your pathetic attempt to shoehorn anything that I said into a no true Scotsman fallacy just shows that you also have poor communication skills.

    Holy fucking shit. I didn't even catch the bit at the end. You really think that cli arguments are archaic??? I'm going to go ahead and assume that regex has you scared shitless as well. Fuck me, you are not a good developer.

    Sidenote, something that will help you understand regex and you can test your strings against it in realtime, look up https://regexr.com/

  • The fact that you don't already know why and are dependent on GUI tools that you don't fully understand is the reason that you're probably not a very good developer.

    Git is incredibly powerful. Knowing why and how is infinitely valuable. Nothing about git cli is archaic or even particularly difficult to understand. Also the man page is very excellent.

  • Just a heads up, it you don't know how to use cli git in 2025 you're probably a shit developer. There are undoubtedly exceptions, but I would argue not knowing version control intimately makes you a bad developer.

  • Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April

  • If you have Plex pass, this does not effect anyone using your server.

    It's still a shit asshole move by them, but at least it isn't catastrophic. Hopefully by the time Plex starts to suck jellyfin will not blow chunks.

  • Because comparitively, jellyfin sucks.

    Once they reach some semblance of feature parity, then you can in good faith ask this question.

  • If you have Plex pass (honestly, get the lifetime, it's worth it, jellyfin is pretty shit compared to Plex) it will not effect users of your server.
