I use last.fm scrobbling so it can learn what I like and provide suggestions based on my locally hosted music.

Just because they want that doesn’t mean they understand how it works. It’s not currently feasible from a technical and resource perspective.

Depends on your definition of "smart’ I guess. ZigBee stuff like buttons and the like probably won’t become obsolete for a long time. I guess you could argue that ZigBee protocol updates could eventually brick them though. Good thing a lot of it is open source

I wish it was as easy as just bailing. I very much want to, but I can’t afford it, and with the coming depression, I especially won’t be able to afford it.

It doesn’t require an internet connection at all unless you want to update the firmware on the cameras 🙂 Oh, and I guess to view the web UI you’d need a LAN connection but it doesn’t need to connect to the full internet.

Frigate and Reolink are a good combo. Frigate is absolutely fantastic and can detect objects, sounds, and/or save clips and recordings to your pool. There’s really nothing better imo.

Quality shitpost

I’m using that one for my heat pump right now! It’s great!

That works when we’re nearby, yep! It’s just when we’re outside or upstairs. We hate mildewy or wrinkly clothes.

Ah, my power isn’t cheaper at certain times, so I didn’t think of that. I wonder if you could control and monitor all of it with an ESP32.

🫠

My washing machine has wifi, but I have never even been slightly interested in enabling it. I set up a monitor to notify when done by monitoring the power consumption of the breaker. Once it drops back down to zero after a couple of minutes, it triggers a notification. I don’t know what else I could ever need.

You can technically still deface coins in a variety of ways, such as with a window breaking tool, and red marker. Not saying I would, of course…

Huh? Did you even read the whole thread? They’re linked above.

They could put a banner in the network settings warning users about these security issues while they get them fixed, that doesn’t require fixing any inherited code. In the GitHub issue linked, there’s at least one upset user because they had no idea this was even a problem.

What about the pwned users of Jellyfin that have unknowingly had security holes for 5 years because Jellyfin doesn’t care enough to even put a banner in their settings to say it’s not secure?

I mean, that’s fine, but it’s still an issue and a risk that would cause me to want to use VPN for remote viewing. It doesn’t seem like security is Jellyfin’s priority at the moment, not that it’s Plex’s either, but it’s not to a place where it’s worth it to switch from a security standpoint, personally.

I’d love to switch. I would do it right now, but the problem is that Jellyfin’s security isn’t better if you open it up to the internet. For example, I’d have to set up a VPN for my remote users for proper security, and most of my users are in other states, not technically inclined, and watch on their TVs. I’d have to at least support a raspberry pi for them, or some sort of site to site VPN, and if it goes down, I’ll be expected to fix it. On top of that, if I do a simple raspberry pi based VPN, it would be made even more complicated since they’d want it to work with their smart TVs.

Again, I really want to switch. But Jellyfin needs to fix their security issues before I can. I’m also happy with the way Plex is reporting this, it’s above the standard “your data is lost” notifications.

Edit: here’s a link to the related GitHub issue I’ve been following: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/5415

And @Saik0Shinigami@lemmy.saik0.com has a great thread explaining more: https://lemmy.today/comment/18923504

Ah, I stand corrected. That’s probably why I’ve never been charged, 2.5k is a lot for my use.

Which part? If you’re wanting to use cloudflare pages, it’s relatively straightforward. You can follow this and get up & running pretty quickly: https://www.hongkiat.com/blog/host-static-website-cloudflare-pages/

If you’re asking about the tarpits, there’s two ways (generally) to accomplish that. Even if you don’t use cloudflare pages to host your site directly (if you use nginx on your server, for example), you can still enable AI tarpits for your entire domain, so long as you use cloudflare for your DNS provider. If you use pages, the setup is mostly the same: https://blog.cloudflare.com/ai-labyrinth/#how-to-use-ai-labyrinth-to-stop-ai-crawlers

If you want to do it all locally, you could instead setup iocaine or nepenthes which are both self hosted and can integrate with various webserver software. Obviously, cloudflare’s tarpits are stupid simple to setup compared to these, but these give you greater control of exactly how you’re poisoning the well and trapping crawlers.
