Depends on your definition of "smart’ I guess. ZigBee stuff like buttons and the like probably won’t become obsolete for a long time. I guess you could argue that ZigBee protocol updates could eventually brick them though. Good thing a lot of it is open source

I wish it was as easy as just bailing. I very much want to, but I can’t afford it, and with the coming depression, I especially won’t be able to afford it.

Frigate and Reolink are a good combo. Frigate is absolutely fantastic and can detect objects, sounds, and/or save clips and recordings to your pool. There’s really nothing better imo.

Quality shitpost

I’m not sure I’ve ever had naturally carbonated mineral water before, but yeah, the stuff I’m talking about has no sugar or anything, it’s just water. I’m not sure why it does that to me!

Yeah, the heat dome was what made me finally get a heat pump installed. It was 117°F (47°C) and we had to huddle around a crappy dual hose portable a/c

almost everyone has air conditioning, so doors and windows stay closed in summer

When I moved to the PNW, it was a shock to me that most people did not have air conditioning, especially in apartments. My first apartment had none, and summer was pretty unbearable. I think it’s climate change doing it’s thing and maybe it wasn’t needed before.

Is it normal to feel dehydrated after drinking carbonated water? That’s why I avoid it, personally, but I wonder if I’m just fucked up.

Ah, my power isn’t cheaper at certain times, so I didn’t think of that. I wonder if you could control and monitor all of it with an ESP32.

My washing machine has wifi, but I have never even been slightly interested in enabling it. I set up a monitor to notify when done by monitoring the power consumption of the breaker. Once it drops back down to zero after a couple of minutes, it triggers a notification. I don’t know what else I could ever need.

You can technically still deface coins in a variety of ways, such as with a window breaking tool, and red marker. Not saying I would, of course…

The far right guy?

Yeah, I have never had a good experience with Seagate. I’d rather pay a little more for WD drives, specifically recertified HC drives.

Yeah. I just don’t know if I can bite the bullet to spend $300ish more for 4 TB (or technically 2TB when used for parity). Recertified 24TB WD drives are slightly more than $500 on SPD right now, and that’s the biggest size (for WD drives)

Huh? Did you even read the whole thread? They’re linked above.

They could put a banner in the network settings warning users about these security issues while they get them fixed, that doesn’t require fixing any inherited code. In the GitHub issue linked, there’s at least one upset user because they had no idea this was even a problem.

What about the pwned users of Jellyfin that have unknowingly had security holes for 5 years because Jellyfin doesn’t care enough to even put a banner in their settings to say it’s not secure?

I mean, that’s fine, but it’s still an issue and a risk that would cause me to want to use VPN for remote viewing. It doesn’t seem like security is Jellyfin’s priority at the moment, not that it’s Plex’s either, but it’s not to a place where it’s worth it to switch from a security standpoint, personally.

I’d love to switch. I would do it right now, but the problem is that Jellyfin’s security isn’t better if you open it up to the internet. For example, I’d have to set up a VPN for my remote users for proper security, and most of my users are in other states, not technically inclined, and watch on their TVs. I’d have to at least support a raspberry pi for them, or some sort of site to site VPN, and if it goes down, I’ll be expected to fix it. On top of that, if I do a simple raspberry pi based VPN, it would be made even more complicated since they’d want it to work with their smart TVs.

Again, I really want to switch. But Jellyfin needs to fix their security issues before I can. I’m also happy with the way Plex is reporting this, it’s above the standard “your data is lost” notifications.
