  • Without authentication; it’s possible to randomly generate UUIDs and use them to retrieve media from a jellyfin server. That’s about the only actually concerning issue on that list, and it’s incredibly minor IMO.

    With authentication, users (ie, the people you have trusted to access your server) can potentially attack each other, by changing each others settings and viewing each other’s watch history/favorites/etc.

    That’s it. These issues aren’t even worth talking about for 99.9% of jellyfin users.

    Should they be fixed? Sure, eventually. But these issure aren’t cause to yell about how insecure jellyfin is in every single conversation, and to go trying to scare everyone off of hosting it publicly. Stop spreading FUD.





  • I’m not sure I agree.

    We’re the ones that destroyed their homes/private spaces to claim them as our own ‘public spaces’. (keeping in mind they can’t exactly build fully enclosed private spaces like we can, at least not all species)

    In many places, You would also still be violating privacy laws if you used/required binoculars or other vision enhancing devices in order to observe people having sex.

    For example: using a mirror to see over a tall fence and watch your neighbours fuck in their backyard, Or watching through a distant apartment window with binoculars.





  • "If you’re going to start a meeting with fat shaming me, then yes; I am going to fire back. Don’t dish it out if you can’t take it yourself.

    If you have a problem with that, we can get the lawyers involved and discuss it further."

    But I also live somewhere that actually has labour laws and where ‘at-will’ employment is a ridiculous concept. If you want to fire someone (after their three months probation), you’ve gotta have a good reason and you better document it throughly.












  • Yeah; Emby was originally called MediaBrowser and was a free open source project. ‘MediaBrowsers’ developers decided to move to a closed source paid model to establish some more consistent income and support the dedicated developers they have. Thus Emby was born.

    Some users were really unhappy with this decision and forked MediaBrowsers last release to create Jellyfin. Their development has been quite a bit slower, but they’ve made some significant strides in recent years. It’s a more and more attractive option.

    One of my biggest reasons for sticking with Emby (besides already having a lifetime premier license) is the dedicated clients available on more platforms. Xbone is my primary streaming device, besides android: Emby has a dedicated xbox client you can install, where as Jellyfin you’ve gotta use the web browser.
