Nope. I don’t talk about myself like that.

    Would seem so. The project is open source, and nobody is getting paid. So the lack of update makes sense to some extent.

    As cool as it is… and as much as I want to make plex shove it completely. Jellyfin just isn’t ready for prime-time.

    I run both… Jellyfin isn’t allowed to talk outside of my network at all, and I can access it over my personal VPN… But Plex is where all my users are because anything else would just be too annoying to maintain.

    Because a reverse proxy doesn’t resolve any of these major issues.

    https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/5415

    Your content can be probed, identified, and streamed all without auth. Your users can be enumerated in certain cases.

    Edit: If you host legit content, like family videos… All of that can be leaked. If you don’t host legit content… and the public site gets probed and they identify the illegal content… expect to be named in a very large lawsuit… either situation is bad.

    Edit2: and hosting it behind a proxy that does it’s own auth would break ALL app-based jellyfin clients.

    No. I’m telling you that “They paid almost 3 percent” is bullshit. I’m telling you that you’re lying. I make no claim for anything else other than you’re full of shit. You’re making shit up to complain about “orange man” and not looking at what’s actually made them pay. Which was Russian aggression.

    And no, you can’t just take the average when there’s a clear pivot point of an event. Someone had to make up the shortfall in the pre-Russian invasion time-frame. That wasn’t just free. They were average 1.6% in the 6 years prior to Russian invasion of Ukraine. Well below the benchmark.

    But wait! Turns out I copied and pasted the wrong table… I grabbed it from a page down because I was an idiot and scrolled too far!

    Here’s the real data… Denmark 1.15 1.11 1.15 1.14 1.28 1.30 1.38 1.30 1.37 2.01 2.37

    1.556% as an average… with pre-invasion looking closer to 1.2%

    So even now they barely make the benchmark even after Russian invasion (post-invasion averages 1.7%). So not only are you really full of shit, but you’re SUPER full of shit. They’ve never paid anything close to 3%. Let alone actually maintaining their 2%.

    Edit: fixed wording to be more clear on post Russian invasion benchmark.

    Bush also brought the PATRIOT act to open a lot of authoritarian doors.

    What sort of history revisionism are you peddling here? The Patriot act was bipartisan. We have records of the votes. like 75% of dems approved it. And 98-1-1 in the senate… https://www.justice.gov/archive/ll/subs/detailed_vote_2001.htm

    Hell if we’re making this partisan, the republicans have a better claim that they’re trying to end it…

    In November 2019, the House approved a three-month extension of the Patriot Act which would have expired on December 15, 2019. It was included as part of a bigger stop-gap spending bill aimed at preventing government shutdown which was approved by a vote of 231–192. The vote was mostly along party lines with Democrats voting in favor and Republicans voting against. Republican opposition was largely due to the bill’s failure to include $5 billion for border security.[253]

    You using crypto to buy your toilet paper is not a mass scale use case and it is irrelevant.

    So then you claim that being able to buy stuff isn’t a “mass scale” use case…

    You realize that’s fucking stupid right?

    As I said, I can and do buy things regularly (though “rare” comparatively with the normal fiat purchases) with crypto. Other’s can do with me as well as the sites that I do it on do it as well. I can prove that by looking at the block chain and seeing the traffic in their wallets.

    So “way to go man!” Unless you actually have something more meaningful than “nuh uh”. You’re kind of full of shit.

    Edit: Lack of “big” vendors doing it != not possible at mass scale.

    Dell at one point accepted crypto. They stopped because of regulation, not because of technical limitation. And sites like Newegg still accept it.

    Jeffrey Epstein, a billionaire hedge fund manager, settled in court Tuesday more than a decade after his saga of sexual exploitation of underage girls was revealed by the Palm Beach police in 2005.
    According to an investigation by the Miami Herald, from at least 2001 to 2005, Epstein lured underage girls to his Palm Beach mansion to partake in a network of sexual exploitation.
    From 1989 up until 2003, Epstein donated more than $139,000 to Democratic federal candidates and committees and over $18,000 to Republican candidates and groups, according to data from OpenSecrets. Notable recipients include former President Bill Clinton and former Senator Bob Packwood, a Republican. In 2003, a couple of years before a full-scale investigation into the allegations of sexual exploitation of underage girls, his political giving abruptly stopped.
    From 1999 to 2003, Epstein donated $77,000 to Democrats John Kerry, Richard Gephardt, Chris Dodd, and other high-profile politicians and committees. Dodd received a $1,000 contribution from Epstein during his reelection campaign in 2003, however, the contribution was returned in 2006.

    So unless you’re insinuating that Bill Clinton and John Kerry are republicans… I deeply, deeply doubt it.

    Over the 15+ years that we’ve had crypto, there have been only two viable uses. All others have failed:

    Criminal activity (including brutal stuff like enabling NK/Russia and drug cartels)
Financial speculation (in of itself often a malicious activity where the goal is to dump your worthless bags on a mark)

    Huh, Weird… Every use I’ve ever used crypto for doesn’t fall into these two categories. So I guess your assumptions and thus everything you based your logic/responses on must be faulty and incorrect.

    I use Crypto much like I use my second language/citizenship. Rarely… However, that doesn’t mean I don’t use it legally. And simply holding onto the crypto != financial speculation. Nobody treats a savings account as “financial speculation”.

    I’ve paid for plenty of things from my crypto wallets. Ranging from several to thousands of dollars.

    And yes, I would like my payment for toilet paper and bell peppers to be private. Strictly for the fact that I don’t want Mega-corpo stores to be able to track and advertise to me based on my payment method. “Club cards” to advertise/track you are a thing. Large chains can do this same thing with payment methods details. So yes, being “real” here, I not only require it, but demand it.

    Your premise is bad. And based on your other responses you don’t care to address it at all.

    Indeed… And from the eyes of a potential service who’s looking at this feature.

    “Ew, a toggle that could potentially save me from liability because they’ll detect shitty passwords when I don’t have the manpower/developer time to implement that check in my server itself! Or pay for access to HIBP/other service for millions of requests a month.”…

    This is low hanging fruit… And while I’m not the biggest fan of Cloudflare (I do use it only because it’s the “best option” I have for what I need). This isn’t it… This isn’t what you get mad about. Checking and disabling known compromised passwords is literally best practice… While this isn’t the “best” implementation. It is one that gets us closer to best practice with minimal effort, which means it’s more likely to actually be implemented. High barrier security features are simply ones that will never get implemented. Does this have it’s own risk? Sure… But I’d rather a known risk with a well known company that can be actively sued should they fail, vs “anonymous” who can dox, steal, harass, etc… with virtually no repercussion.
