It's not FUD if it's real. I could say the same shit for people screaming Jellyfin at literally every chance they get when the topic is Plex. Instead I further the discussion rather than telling other people they're spreading FUD.

it’s possible to randomly generate UUIDs

It's an MD5 hash of the file path. Not randomly generated, and not a proper UUID.

Edit: for others that might not understand... Docker files will standardized the path side... *arr suites and general human nature will standardize the file name.

So a generally guessable file path exists for a LOT of users out there... It's absolutely possible to guess that many people running jellyfin would store their version of bigbucksbunny as /movies/bigbuckbunny (2008)/bigbuckbunny.mkv or similar conventions and I've probably already nailed the path to generate the MD5 for a lot of people running Jellyfin just now.

Yup already addressed this in another thread.

You have to take on supporting them now... supporting family is just like loaning money to family... or renting to family... or anything else with family. Stressful.

But even silly problems like what happens when their wireguarded phone connect to the wireguarded home wifi vpn... I can't imagine that it wouldn't cause problems that you're going to get blamed for.

But even then this is still jellyfins problem. It's clear the platform is MEANT to be public, otherwise there would be some integration with these other features that just don't exist.

If you're support ANYONE other than yourself who isn't technical, it's a hurdle. And likely a significant one.

I would not be able to educate my wife properly on the times when she would need to enable wireguard on her phone to use it properly (and when to disable it for other scenarios).

This has nothing to do with running a pirate service.

Sure... but now you're supporting their whole network because you need the vpn in place. It quickly becomes a whole thing of support just to let your cousin's kid watch some old shows you have in your library.

Yeah this "revamp" is just bad. I dislike it a lot. I'm seriously debating on rolling it back... but I don't tend to watch media on my phone and the new update hasn't hit any of my TVs yet.

use a VPN

No VPN apps for TVs. You know, the most likely thing older people would want to use to access your server to watch movies with.

Edit:

Not that they’re really an issue unless you are exposing your server to untrusted clients.

And the fact that many endpoints are completely unauthed...

Leaving this for people to realize that there's a literal chapter's worth of book of security issues that haven't been fixed and seems to keep getting the can kicked down the road... for over 4 years now.

I love Jellyfin... people need to implement it sensibly knowing the potential risks.

Edit: Ah yes! I MUST be a shill for saying "Implement it sensibly".

Here, let me "de-shill" myself.

You have several options to make Jellyfin serviceable to users outside of your literal LAN network.

1. setup a VPN. Pray you don't have a user on a device that doesn't have a VPN app that you can work with.
2. setup whitelisting on your server. Pray that IP addresses don't change.
3. setup fail2ban or crowdsec. Pray that you users don't piss off either by doing user things and getting locked out.

If anything above fails... you're likely on the hook for support. Hope you plan for that!

4. Obfuscate your paths (change /movies/title (year)/title.ext to something like /9ZHBrvNH4dKQDYFa2parH32qqSFpjsWTataVkjy4NqPxpVktT55PkEee5YSVRvUQ/movies/title (year)/title.ext). MD5 is now much harder to generate/guess... pray that there isn't some other vulnerability. Gotta go back and reconfigure and organize your shit. Oh and make sure that your docker mounts aren't crushing the path!

Am I still a Plex shill? BTW I run Jellyfin AND Plex. Literally side by side. Different uses for different cases because Jellyfin just can't compete with Plex for sharing with dumb-ass relatives.

an LLM.

I don't think that Saudi Arabia has a "meals on wheels" program. Or if they do it would likely be named something else.

You’re wrong and didn’t contribute anything meaningful to the conversation.

So you think that out of all the hate on the internet... NONE of it is constructed shit in people's own head?(keep in the mind that the article itself talks about personality disorders and DSM-5, literally talking about things like schizophrenia and ADHD... mental disorders that affect how we think are in that book). That this number is so infallibly 0% that my thought doesn't contribute ANY meaningful value to discuss at all? You sure that it contributed nothing to the conversation and that's why you downvoted? Cause it would appear to me that you've just chosen to ignore the words, ascribe your own meaning to stuff that wasn't there and then downvoted because you didn't like it.

It's clear that this is happening on the internet in many cases. In saner parts of the internet (sometimes even here on lemmy) you'll see two people arguing, a misconception clear up, and magically all the "hate" dissolved away and both parties walk away amicably.

Hate is stuff like: ableism, misogyny, racism, homophobia, transphobia.

https://www.dictionary.com/browse/hate

It only means that as an adjective, or under pretense where it's clear that we're talking about a class of people, if that's the case it wasn't clear to me and I just took it as a general overall "the world seems more hateful". Which it wasn't used any other way in the comments up to this point this way nor the article itself. So now you've constructed some other thing that nobody has referenced just so you can argue some other point that nobody else was apparently making. Keep in mind that the whole thread started with "Hostile" from the article, and not "hate". The article doesn't reference anything about any specific classes of people, and even talks about personality disorders (so medical perspective) rather than " ableism, misogyny, racism, homophobia, transphobia" and other... uh... character flaws(? might not be the correct phrase to use but maybe the point comes across) that shitty people have.

Edit: Oh and I don't care about downvotes. But the fact that YOU downvoted the comment was part of the point. It literally is adding context to the actual discussion we're actively having. It's directly related behavioral response that's worthy of discussing in this particular discussion. Trust me I get down-voted plenty on Lemmy and couldn't care less otherwise. Usually for not immediately jumping on a bandwagon.

Okay? I never said "ALL HATE on the internet is bullshit"... I said "I wonder how much is just people constructing shit in their own head."

This is exactly my point. You chose to interpret my words in a way that I clearly would have never intended if you actually spent time to read the words and understand them for what they were rather than some magical interpretation that clearly was never said.

Edit: Thanks for the downvote too! Proves the point further.

Edit2: And on your specific point I would argue otherwise. In the past, humans would just kill each other rather than yelling words through a machine. Literal murder -> Mean words is a de-escalation. We can do better for sure... do not misconstrue that, but to claim that we're more hateful now, when history shows us murdering each other for less is a bit silly of a stance to take.

but it takes tow to argue

Eh... It really doesn't though does it? One side can be sincerely stating points of fact/logic and others often can and do often ascribe that as "you're a terrible person for saying that!".

We are all responsible for what we say , good and bad

Good and bad are subjective though. There is often no black and white. I often cite and source things to show that I'm not stating anything as a matter of opinion... and out of the blue some rando comes out and tries ascribing some sense of moral straw-man claiming that I must believe something or another. Here's an example from literally last night...

I made no statement that could even be construed as putting words in other people's mouths... yet someone straw-manned me by definition (and didn't even know the word for it) by Smee there trying to make some grand point that nobody was even making at that point but they thought I was.

Edit: Actually you don't even need to look at an entirely different thread... Just look at the other response to me. Someone who wasn't even in the conversation comes out of the blue and ascribes something I never said nor could ever have been construed as and took it to some straw-man end game nonsense.
