The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where...

You get the idea

I just spent $200 on a Samsung 990 Pro 2TB :/

I'm finally swapping my main PC to Linux full time and ended up buying an entire new boot drive rather than dealing with shuffling files around to make space.

You'd need to set up a firewall rule on your router to block that device from accessing the internet. If you've got a fancy enough router you could set up a VLAN and second SSID for all your IoT things and only whitelist connections and devices you want to allow. That can get a little tricky to set up though

This is actually a valid brainf*ck program, but it results in 19, not 10.

Lol, this is news? Where have they been the last 15 years?

In other news, the sky is blue.

Call it survivorship/selection bias if you want, but basically every hack I've been exposed to is from centralized servers getting exploited that serve millions of people. Plex, along with any other public facing service with lots of users, receives targeted attacks constantly. All my server receives is automated bots looking for 10-year-old Wordpress .php exploits (I don't even run php on my server).

AI has had very measureable negative effects on society in the last several years. Someone's race doesn't have any relation to if they're good or bad, which is why being racist is irrational and stupid. It's not the same argument.

In terms of art, it's the difference between being critical of all art because AI slop is common in general (what I've been talking about as rational paranoia) vs only being critical of one specific style because you don't like it and label all of it as bad AI (maybe the analogy for racism you're talking about).

Yeah, I'm not really worried about it. I changed my password and moved on. It's just that hackers have every reason to try and exploit Plex, while individual servers are hardly worth someone's time and effort to go after when the payoff is maybe 1-2 usernames and emails

Ironically AI doesn't have perfectly recall either, and that's kind of one of the main problems with it and hallucinations. It can easily get poisoned by a handful of data points in it's training set. But even then, it can only really blend 2 data points together, it's got no ability to extrapolate and think outside the box.

I think you're missing the point here a little. This bias towards being critical of where something is from is entirely justified. The reality is, there's more gen AI content out there than ever before, and if you're not questioning things constantly, things will slip past.

I'm viewing this kind of like a "phobia" vs a "fear". If you're genuinely in danger of being mislead by AI slop, then having a paranoia about it is perfectly rational.

If you have a static IP, or dynamic DNS set up, you can set up your own remote access with a reverse proxy like nginx. The nice thing is I get to use my own SSL certificate and all the actual streaming goes directly to my server, not through their proxies.

The only "hacky" part about it is that the Admin dashboard shows "Not available outside your network", even though everything works perfectly.

The security thing is ironic because my personal Jellyfin server (nor anything else on it) has been hacked, but Plex itself has had their database leaked recently. It's actually the main reason I switched because I don't like their auth servers being a giant common target. (Also, technically it theoretically means Plex employees can just let themselves in to people's private servers)
