I’ve been using an old rack server to run a handful of containers (Authentik, jotty, crap like that) for the past few years… I’d been gathering parts for a while and when I built it I had 768GB of ddr4 laying around, so that’s what it got. Well for the past year I’ve been wanting to shift to something lower power… It might be the time to make the investment into an usff pc and scrap this thing out.

$1400? Damn I hope I get that lucky if ever need an ambulance ride.

I don’t code either but prefer the Gitea instance in my basement over anything MS hosts.

WMIC allows an amazing amount of control for admins that know what they are doing. One of my favorite uses was back when I worked helpdesk, users would exit Lync and be unreachable, well WMIC can allow an admin to open that app back up in the users session and then they are suddenly reachable again.

Some people use the old psexec, others have been using WMIC since before powershell even existed.

Same here… Over the years I even ended up with a modem and HDD for it. Great system.

Man I wanted a Tesla roadster one day, then he touched the company and it turned to shit.

I mainly carry thumbdrives for larger files or things I don’t want hosted online.

That’s what I would go with if I was inclined. Create a volume the size of the drive and add a hidden volume with a different password within like we’ve been doing for years (decades at this point maybe almost).

DrunkenSlug is another great indexer, invite only and about $30 USD per year for their top offering.

Wow, that is amazing to hear. While I don’t want to be pulled over, in the southern US I’ve never been pulled over doing 10% over the posted limit. My wife on the other hand, calls me a slow old man as she goes whatever she thinks feels right.

I was thinking a box of cereal, but I like the cut of your jib!

If I ever end up back in a Walmart and see these, I’m definitely setting something in front of them.

I try a lot of stuff that’s a lot younger than Jellyfin but I respect your position on it. From what I’ve read the most serious identified issue will allow unauthorized playback, but one requirement for the exploit is knowing the local system path for the media. It forked from emby somewhere around 8 or so years back and I managed to trust emby back then so maybe I’m being a bit overly naive.

My main issue with Plex is that it only supports using its auth servers so when their having an outage, so am I; I’d rather control the media server and it’s IdP.

Or feed those steams into Dispatcharr and back to Jellyfin/Plex so you can pause/skip/record what’s on.

People keep saying that Jellyfin is scary to expose to the internet but Plex isn’t. Could you share your reason for it?

Same here, I’ve had a lifetime pass for a bit over a decade but now I just keep it for coworkers and some family members. Jellyfin just runs better 99% of the time.

Which problems? The only one I know of requires the attacker to know the exact media path on the local server, even if they figure that out all they gain is the ability to view that file.

Seriously though, if there is a bigger vulnerability out there, I’d love to know about it (the only one I found would allow unauthorized viewing).

That’s the only reason I opened the comments… To be fair though, I think I’m gonna adopt that term.

Technically he didn’t enter the PIN. When repeatedly asked for it with no way to speak to a lawyer first, he gave them his PIN. Did they ask for his phone PIN, yep, did he give them his phone PIN, yes. Had they asked for a specific PIN for the device, they might have been able to get one specific to a profile on the device but they didn’t.

Did they ask him if this PIN was for a specific profile? Doubtful so it’s kind of on them.

That’s the fun part… There wasn’t one, he just happened to oppose a very unpopular thing happening in his city.
