I have done no research, but my guess is it will be a waste of money right now. Any existing linux phones are too new for everything to be figured out. Pricing is likely very high for what you get right now too, since they don’t have the scale yet (and probs other things).

I believe they are mostly an enthusiast type deal at the minute.

With some more time I believe they will become very appealing.

Found out about no build mode when I was asked to play recently and the game is, to my surprise, fun without the building.

The people who have mastered building and can create a fort around me in 0.32 seconds are cringe in my book. Not sure how that was ever deemed a fun game mechanic, it’s frustrating (to me, someone who only plays with their hands).

I would be hopeful that competitors bring the price down or even bring a much better experience with a higher price tag, which I think will only help cater to a larger audience (the budgeteers & the ballers).

Nothing will stop actual crap (e-waste level) from coming out, but I’m sure ppl match the experience to a brand name rather than a form factor.

Dam i bothered looking it up after seeing your comment and 10 years of seeing it online makes sense to me now

Givin us what we want yipeeee

We wanna play on release!!! We want them big booties in our face on day one!!! Not day 365!!!

Sorry, I wasn’t clear. When I said “why do you care?”, I didn’t mean YOU specifically with OPs potential problem of losing users.

I meant why do people in general, who self-host software for friends/family, care if their friends/family stop using the software.

E.g. I have friends on Plex, but for whatever reason, I decide I want to move to Jellyfin. My friends stop streaming my media because they dont like jellyfin for whatever their own reasons may be. I personally wouldn’t care about losing them as “users”, because it’s not like they are paying customers. I let them access my instance for free, if they aren’t bothered enough to use it, then thats on them, not me to cater to their needs by keeping Plex around.

Hope that cleared up my meaning. I wasn’t attacking you for caring with your original response.

p.s. you are at risk by hosting Plex too, just in different ways. Plex still requires your server is open to the internet, right? Even if only Plex’s servers can access it, who’s to say Plex themselves don’t get hacked. Always a risk/reward type deal with hosting software, in my opinion, either are fine to expose.

Yes, you are right, but I think my point was missed.

Theres not much reward for hackers to hack private jellyfin hosts (unless there is some big exploit that gives remote code execution that im unaware of), sure the bots will scan and try exploits on open ports, but are they specifically targetting jellyfin?

There is always a risk, but in my opinion, the chances of being hacked through jellyfin are way too low to bother with over-bearing measures, like a required vpn connection.

Running jellyfin in a secure manner (without root, only access to your content, etc) reduces the risk of much harm too.

My guess is they were making popcorn and fish sticks for a movie night.

When shaking the air fryer to get all the corn cooked, a single fish stick stuck itself to the top.

Competition is usually always a good thing, but sadly no launcher has ever brought anything new to the table that Steam hasn’t already been doing (they usually just bring headaches).

Epic doesn’t want to compete fairly (by providing a great user experience, etc). They want to compete by paying for exclusives & bribing users with free games. Obviously this hasn’t worked because they are loweri g fees, likely to try to get the growth they just aren’t seeing.

I find it hard to believe that there are bots scanning for jellyfin exploits, since as far as I’m aware, the exploit is for viewing content without auth. 99% of bots are scanning for old instances of wordpress or other outdated software to exploit.

If my content on Jellyfin was illegitimate, the person scanning for my files would have to prove that before they can sue, no? I don’t think this makes sense for anyone to do.

p.s. I won’t argue that YOU should setup software that you dont want to, just that this particular reason not to may be a bit farfetched.

I agree with you, it’s likely this vulnerability is only known because Jellyfin is open source… how many are hiding in Plex’s proprietary source code…

Anyways when has anyone ever been pwnd by this “exploit”, I have seriously never heard of anyone being “hacked” by one of them.

Definitely overblown as far as I am aware… don’t post your instance url all over the internet and you will likely be fine.

Using Plex (is fine, do whatever u want) and giving them your data instead doesn’t really help you (or at least sending your data through them).

you will absolutely lose a bunch of them

I always see this and I have to ask: why do you care?

They likely aren’t paid customers of yours, if they don’t follow your rules and the software you like to use, then they are free to use any other method of consuming media.

VPN

Have to agree with the other comment that asks why do you need to use a vpn. Fax

My question is, where are you posting the address to your jellyfin server that someone who finds it will go through the trouble of even doing this?

Also how could they start litigating you based on the content you have? If I had illegal content on my server, I would be really dumb to expose it on the internet on a public jellyfin server. Otherwise my movies, tv, etc are my paid for content…

I don’t know why the car has the persons name, but it’s the same thing with most peoples smartphones. People usually never turn off bluetooth when not in use and it’s always blasting their name. Though it is of course easier to see who Oscar is when there’s a whole car model to match it to.

For car’s, I wonder why they can’t only blast a device name while in pairing mode. Dunno of it’s just not a possibility, but that seems smort.
