Yeah, a company got toasted because one of their admins was running Plex and had tautulli installed and opened to the outside figuring it was read-only and safe.

Zero day bug in tat exposed his Plex token. They then used another vulnerability in Plex to remote code execute. He was self-hosting a GitHub copy of all the company’s code.

Taskkill /f is reasonably close to sudo kill -9

Hitting the X in Windows and hitting the X in Linux both cause the application to start a save yourself routine. From the OS standpoint they’re not far off.

The problem is we have a lot of confirmation bias in windows because every time we want to close an application that’s not working, that save yourself call has to sit around for a hellaciously long time out followed by a telemetry call so that Microsoft can track that it happened.

It’s pretty rare that Linux apps don’t just close.

The crypto is decent, it’s electron so it’s source available. If you want to ignore their hosting solution, you can disable the syncing and just take the vault from its config directory and sync it yourself

The real downsides are that it’s not actual open source, so if they decided to screw around with the security or turn the crypto off somebody can’t just fork it.

I’d vote for anytype or obsidian

Anytype has a learning curve, But it has built-in encryption and IPFS syncing provided by the company. The templating system is really slick and the relational aspect is pretty solid.

Obsidian + syncthing fork is a really solid contender. It’s much easier to work with out of the box but the features are a little more generic.

Neither of these are really self-hosted, so much as they are contained in their own ecosystem. You get some measure of higher availability that you have to really work for if you’re really self-hosting a product.

I use Jellyfin for all my video but I use Plex for my audio. Plex app is just so much better than finamp.

Lol, That’s why I self-host so much crap. The only way I can give it to everybody is to make it a web app, or maintain three separate sets of clients.

I’m kind of apprehensive to open up a really small projects on my home network to the outside world. Kudos for maintaining unraid as a platform though.

I might consider running it at my house but my wife is Mac I’m Linux it would only help my kids.

Could It handle mod packages for Java Minecraft or something?

I mean, you get a lot of advantages from fluffy pretty systems. But extracting data from df and systemctl and curling it into telegram is going to be like a 10 line bash script called from a one-line cron job.

I pump a lot of complicated metrics through Prometheus / grafana to get graphs and history.

Most of my critical stuff is still in Nagios and instead of using nagios standardized plugins I just query the operating system directly in bash.

Slightly different here, when Reddit put the writing on the wall, The people with the lowest tolerance for bullshit left. The signal to noise ratio over there went way up. As the quality dropped off, we saw more waves of people coming this way.

Basically, the people that are left over there are kind of willingly swimming in filth. It’s a filtering event really. Even including the bots, tankies, whatever this is, it’s far less toxic over here on a thread to thread community to community basis.

We have no lack of good people, I dare say we have more good people on any one of those services then the entirety of the top pane.

Brave is my backup for Firefox. I simply never signed up for bat and removed the icon from the bar.

I’m sure they’re collecting and will sell my information to anybody that will pay, But that information will be less reaching than Microsoft or Google, their fingerprinting against other sites is very good so it’s probably limiting my exposure more Even though they’re also a broker. How I keep them around for the ad blocking alone, they actually have a team of paid developers to keep YouTube and browser ads at bay, they’re also doing the ad blocking in the core application instead of the plugins so it’s not something that can be easily bypassed.

Not normal. Check Firefox plugins. Maybe disable that safe browsing check option I doubt that’s it but it can’t hurt.

Screw that You’re all great everybody from slackware to steam deck.

Yeah between the forced binding arbitration and their claims to wanting to start pre-roll ads, Roku is dead to me, I will never buy another device from them nor recommend them to anyone.

Yes this meme is dated. You can run proprietary stuff in bookworm with just a couple of check boxes.

Yeah, I know. It’s just Sunday morning and I’m feeling cheeky.

I’ve been living that for years

Yeah I’ve been using Linux for a very long time. The amount of time I’ve spent on the case being incorrect is non-trivial. I’ve gotten better at not screwing it up throughout the years but the sum of advantages is far outweighed by the sum of debugging time spent.

It sucked when Crashplan’s home client went under. If you installed the client on two computers with internet access, it would let you set the remote computer as a target. Encryption was done at the source, it had dedupe, versioning. It ate a little ram but it was really nice.

Yep, I tried Tailscale at home… 3 weeks later I started using it at work, so insanely easy.
