haha i’m in s03 of my first ever watch. this headline felt like the show jumped out into RL

that’s some Avon Barksdale lvl shit

They should probably add Harada as a DLC final boss

I thought this was going to be about how dead the subway car looks in that photo

it’s infuriating and honestly kind of scary. They’re making gaming a luxury hobby, one auxiliary industry at a time. Every component that goes up in price is another reason for consoles to go up in price. More and more cool hobbies are slowly growing out of reach for the average person. Soon the only thing left to fill your free time will be alcohol and the sound of silence.

in a better world, this would never stand a chance of going through because this would mean a merger of two of the biggest names in streaming. But Lina Khan is in the wind, and greed rules the nation.

it barely resembles the original. It’s an extraction shooter, a la Hunt: Showdown or Escape from Tarkov.

it’s usually just cosmetics though, right?

google should experiment with sucking my ass

Republicans hate small businesses, so this makes sense.

I’ve been on Tidal for a year or so now, as a slightly more ethical alternative to Spotify. I’ve been meaning to work on acquiring albums via Bandcamp or otherwise and storing them on my Jellyfin server - there’s some really good stuff that just isn’t on Tidal cause the artist isn’t big enough. But I really value having a music streaming service for discovery.

yeah, it’s essentially open-source Plex

MP4? yeah, it’s out on the 4th

So this game is landing with a solid Metacritic, but it seems like this is coming from all the blogspam AI-gen sites being overly generous with their scores. Some of the more reliable sites (VGC, Eurogamer) are landing more in a 3-star range. Seems like critics are very split over how to receive this game.

I’m what way? You can remote stream on Jellyfin for zero dollars.

I posted this below in reply to a similar comment. If you don’t like the way the devs have handled the raising of concerns, then fine, that’s kind of a judgment call and I can’t tell you what you should feel comfortable with. In my limited experience with the Jellyfin devs (including reading through the responses on that thread you linked), I do not personally get the impression that they are downplaying or refusing to correct issues. To me, it seems more like they are prioritizing some issues over others, and the outstanding security issues seem pretty minor for most use cases.

idk the full history, but Joshua’s comment here does not give me the impression of devs that are just deliberately ignoring security issues. It seems like they are simply balancing priorities, which is what all good devs should do. Personally I like that client compatibility is valued over everything else - I would be pissed if they broke the Fire TV client to fix a minor security hole on a niche Linux distro, because then one of my users would be SOL. And as Joshua says in that comment:

many other options are now open to us in a post-10.11 landscape now that we have a proper library database ready.

So it seems like now they are better set up to address the security issues without breaking compatibility.

This is the core problem, at the end of the day. Average doctor’s salary in the US is higher than any other country in the world. On top of that, a significant chunk of the money you are paying for your health care is going to the hospital admins and support staff, not the doctors. In this issue, health insurance is a catalyst, not the cause. The core problem is that care providers and drug companies can charge whatever they want for services and items, and there is no real countermeasure to this inflationary problem. Medicare sets payment rates for medical services, but this only applies to Medicare enrollees and only applies to medical services. Health insurance is a parasite that feeds on this problem, and accelerates the inflation of health care costs so they can skim off the excess inflation. But the core problem is that there is no US law regulating the prices of medical services, items, or drugs.

So, I am not going to deny that those security issues exist, but it seems like they would only pop-up in niche situations, or only if someone already had access to your admin profile. Most people are using Jellyfin to share their media with themselves and their tech-illiterate friends in family. In that use case, the only people who even know my server URL are people I have shared that info with privately. Nobody is trying to hack my admin account.

Now, I am no infosec expert. Maybe there are folks that are trying to run larger operations, and for those people I can understand why these security issues may become concerning if you don’t have a tight handle on the circle of people that have access to your server. That said, it’s also a bit silly to expect a free, open source solution to meet your needs in that scenario, anyway. If you know and understand the issues that well, then maybe go join the dev team and patch the holes. That is the beauty of open source, anyone can jump in and fix it.

Setting up a reverse proxy and dynamic domain is not one click

Maybe not for the server administrator, but for users, it’s mega easy. Download Jellyfin app on TV. Enter URL for server. Login like a normal streaming service. Done. As far as I know, Plex requires these same steps, so if Plex works for your 89 year old grandparents, Jellyfin would as well.

Jellyfin has also yet to resolve the unsecured api

In what way is the API insecure? What types of attacks are you concerned about?
