Was it Sarah Connor?

So, I cannot buy new books or download my current ones. But, I can download them without paying and then install them still over USB? OK Amazon, that clears things up fine for me.

Yes, I am wishing I bought a spare drive or two for my home array. When one fails it’s going to get costly now.

The thing about peertube is… It’s actually a tough one to run for non-profit. I run an mbin instance and it’s fairly easy to afford the hardware to host that and securely back it up.

But for peertube, you need storage, and realistically you also need backup for all that storage. That can be pretty costly unless you self host. In which case even with fibre your home connection will be hammered.

Video content eats storage like nothing else.

The enshittification will continue until… No man, it’ll just continue.

Enjoy it while you can. The age of enshittification will be upon us. With fully locked bootloaders and the only way to install true FOSS mobile OS is to pay 3x the price for half the capabilities of a normal Android phone.

Yep I’m hearing a lot about this and there’s a few Lora nodes on it in my area. So am considering looking into it.

I was tempted to get an AMD 9070XT and maybe pass the 3080 to windows (since AMD is generally regarded better in Linux). Somehow (at least here in the UK) the prices haven’t gone up for that card yet.

But then I bought a load of radio stuff instead. :P

I sometimes run windows as a VM. But generally just for specific software. Radio programming, some have only windows tools that won’t play ball with wine. They need the USB port passed through.

There’s also just some tools only viable in windows. But I generally have always gone for one step up from the current normal RAM amount because 1: Software development likes to eat ram and 2: I really don’t like to upgrade too often.

However, my understanding is that this could be exploited only by authenticated users with permission to add new media. Not like that’s a risk to ignore, but it’s not like it could be exploited by anyone on the Internet.

I wonder if that’s the reason for setting the default live TV management permission to false. Since that permission might well the the route to adding your own malicious m3u link for that second change.

Reverse proxy will let anyone connect to it. VPN, you can create keys/logins for your intended users only. Having said that, from what I could see, nothing in the security fixes were to do with authentication. I think (just from a cursory look), they could only be exploited, if at all from an authenticated user session.

But personally, something like jellyfin where the number of people I want to be able to access it is very limited, stays behind a VPN. Better to limit your potential attack surface as much as you can.

This is kinda my thoughts too. I have a generally “OK” setup now. 7800X3D, 64GB DDR5-6400 (I think it is 6400 anyway), and a 3080. Should be fine for now. At least to wait and see if we’re:

• Totally cooked and will eventually be forced to compute on the cloud
• Things return to some level of normality as the AI hype bubble bursts and people start using it as a genuine tool and not the panacea for all of our problems that needs the insane level of investment it’s been given lately.

Hell, if the bubble bursts hard enough there might be some cut price action, just like all those juicy cheap enterprise HDDs we could get during the covid times. Maybe wishful thinking though.

Just remember who screwed you over if/when they come back to consumers, cap-in-hand.

From a cursory look at just the security commits. Looks like the following:

• GHSA-j2hf-x4q5-47j3: Checks if a media shortcut is empty, and checks if it is remote and stores the remote protocol if so. Also prevent strm files (these are meant to contain links to a stream) from referencing local files. Indeed this might have been used to reference files jellyfin couldn’t usually see?
• GHSA-8fw7-f233-ffr8: Seems to be similar, except for M3U file link validation and limiting allowed protocols. It also changes the default permissions for live TV management to false.
• GHSA-v2jv-54xj-h76w: When creating a structure there should be a limit of 200 characters for a string which was not enforced.
• GHSA-jh22-fw8w-2v9x: Not really completely sure here. They change regex to regexstr in a lot of places and it looks like some extra validation around choosing transcoding settings.

I’m not really sure how serious any of these are, or how they could be exploited however. Well aside from the local file in stream files one.

This story amused me a bit. I was on their side initially. I mean generally if a bike is on an approved locked roof rack, car insurance would pay out for this.

But, it’s not car insurance. It’s house insurance and they never declared the valuable bikes. So now, I’m stuck in a position I don’t want to be in. Defending an insurance company. Eugh. I feel dirty.

So good, you had to tell use twice?

The thing is, they won’t ALL do it. The big names will. Real chocolate will become more of a luxury thing you have less often (which, to be fair is probably a good thing) and the established brands might survive on some blind brand loyalty, or die out.

If you feed data to fr24, you get the same perks as the extremely expensive subscription which includes the same filters. Hint: It is actually very cheap and easy to provide data to them.

No, they’re saying Firefox uses so much ram they’re far far more likely to be a victim!

Yeah, it’s obvious they want to replace the front page (of the front page of the internet?) with the same personalized algorithmic doom scrolling generated crap that every other social media pushes on you.

So glad I killed off my content and don’t use it any more.

Please feel free to keep him.
