I suspect the issue is more about what gets funded, and what doesn't. Then, not far behind "network effects".

Reply to 2022.09.18 : HACKED TODAY!!! KiwiFarms net FULLY hacked by paid ANTIFA today! EVERYTHING compromised: emails, IPs, passwords, control of all servers. Crappy web code by incompetent programmers was to blame, not the new Epic.com anti-DDOS, DNS, or Epic.com Domain registrant. Nor the Ukraine backup. by smartypants
The site was hacked because Josh added a shitty insecure chat applet to the site which was otherwise totally secure.
It was an XSS exploit that allowed session stealing. This means that the attacker was able to log in as other users and potentially reset passwords. The attacker ATTEMPTED to download a list of username/email/IP/password-hash of all users but it failed with an error instead.
This means that at worst the attacker may have reset some users' passwords. But the site will be restored to an earlier backup before those resets. So the attacker basically accomplished nothing. And everyone just needs to re-log in after the site comes back up.
Despite all the FUD being spread by OP and Josh himself, the attacker did not get full passwords because sites don't typically store full passwords. Sites store hashes based on the passwords. At worst the attacker has hashes, emails, and ip addresses. But probably not even that because as Josh has stated the download failed.

As a registered member of antifa, I can confirm that we work with all of the government agencies listed above. I was personally involved in staging multiple “clintonings”, and all where highly successful. However, you got one thing wrong. I am not paid by the globalists/internationalists. I am paid by you. Take your fucking meds.

Are we saying the kiwifarms site had crappy code or the media site or both? I'd say when your whole site is compromised with all user data there is enough "fault in the code" to go around.

Reply to 2022.06.22 - LIED AGAIN! Mega says it can’t decrypt your files. New POC working exploit shows otherwise!!! So far, only Apple's iCloud is proven opaque and secure to the server side without passphrase. Shame on Mega. by smartypants
Not sure how it is lying when they do everything they claim and someone just found a way to defeat the encryption to which Mega responded with a patch so that this vector of attack won't work any longer.
Cryptography is a cat and mouse game like that, but at least Mega tries, so no complaints from me.
Also.... if you put something truly sensitive on third party servers you are doing it wrong anyway.

Ive yet to have any of the issues you mention with your install of jellyfin; I think its time you hone in on your basic OS/software knowledge as most of your issues seem to stem from lack of knowledge on your part. RTFM much ?
Wahaha wrote (edited )
I've been using Jellyfin for years and am quite happy. Not really using it myself, but let people in my family use it. Back when I decided I went with it since I wanted to have multiple users.
It's nice that it supports not only video and music, but also pictures and ebooks.
Though, I had it a lot easier installing, since I just used docker, so I was done setting everything up in ten minutes.

You need physical access, which means you already have access to all the data through much easier methods.

OP, do you have brain worms? If these people you seem to hate so much were as incompetent as you say they are, then how did they purposely create a backdoor this sophisticated?

I don't get how you get from this sophisticated computer stuff to racist bullshit. I don't even know who the offendingly mixed-race person is you blame for all this. But whoever it is, it ain't the one who designed the server to be utterly dominated by remote-control hackers - that was a design choice made by some "computer entrepreneur", by which I mean a corporate seat filler who gets most of his money from three letter agencies in thinly disguised packages. Is there anybody in the computer industry whose business model is significantly different from an old-time Kapo's?

This seems vastly too optimistic. China has shown how quickly governments go from forcing people onto VPNs to banning those VPNs. Microsoft so far as I understand is already well on the path to banning arbitrary code, such as the code you need for your alternative networks. People hosting nodes for the alternative networks have always been at risk of being targeted and convicted for "distributing child porn" coming encrypted through any peer-to-peer network that doesn't spy on people. And they can still go full-on Russia and jail anybody for any reason and none.
With hundreds of animal species breeding Covid variants, with runaway carbon emissions from a burning Arctic fueling ever-faster global warming, with nuclear war coming at a moment's notice, we all know we're looking down the barrel of the end of the world. What we can do is to adjust our attitude - to stop seeing it as something to fear, but something to give us hope; not an error, but the will of God. We can start thinking about how long we're going to try to hold out and when we're going to stand aside and let the end come. Who knows - maybe something else will do better.

Reply to comment by TallestSkil in WARNING !!!!! ZERO Day exploit in fake JPGs being served to Browsers. A revealed exploit on July 21 2021 to add to long list of remote WebP exploits, and now CATBOX suddenly involved! by smartypants
Its worse, and you are right, as always, because on ConPro hours ago a NEW Feb 2022 WebP zero day unpatched on 60% of all Apple users showed up :
https://consumeproduct.win/p/142BTB1ZSP/fuck-around-and-find-out-shitbul/c/
So the new owners of scored.co (formerly .win) are now exhibiting their funding links more and their glowie tendencies on ConPro links march 21 2022.
This is all so tiring.

As you say, not many people know what an RSS feed is. But offering it whenever you are asked for your email could spark some interesting conversations. That's a good idea.

This will really be accelerated if people who are being censored tell people "subscribe to my rss feed" instead of "give me your email address and I'll email you". The main convenient thing about sites like reddit, facebook, etc. is that you can see a lot of different content you want to see in a convenient format while staying on one website. Lots of people don't even really know about RSS, but if there's a comeback, that will make it easier for people to follow updates on multiple personal blogs and websites.

Reply to The One Week Command Line Challenge by HMTg927
My response to this challenge is the same as the one to the cold shower challenge. I always take a cold shower. Every day. Forever.
I always use the command line only unless utterly impossible. Every day. Forever.
Browsers are were this falls apart. I'm using qutebrowser, which is kinda close, but it isn't a CLI browser. Most websites are incompatible with CLI browsers, so that's not going to work. I'm also still using a GUI music player and email client. The former because it JustWorks™, but I'm planning on replacing it with mpd and ncmpcpp or whatever it was called. The latter because it JustWorks™ and I'm using it so rarely that it frankly doesn't matter.
I'm doing most of my image manipulation from the cli, though. I also use a script to crawl Youtube for me, so I don't have to actually visit youtube anymore. Newsboat (RSS reader) to "subscribe" to channels and the script to search for videos. Works pretty good.
The reason I mostly use the CLI is because it is more convenient.

I don't think it's half-nigger-women fault it's there in the first place, every corporate monstrosity has it's own arsenal of backdoors. But it may be half-nigger-women fault it was discovered and made public.

Reply to This company, Envisioning, has federal governments as clients. Its description of a social credit system says that it will be "generally based on parameters predefined by the authorities in compliance with universal fundamental rights". by ghast
universal fundamental rights What those may be I wonder? Let's go on trusty wikipedia which totally never lies nor promotes interests of israel and learn. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_rights third sentence says you have no rights and links on agenda 21. You have been opted out of your rights it seems before you had the chance to opt out of technocracy.
Also that's one hell of bloated website. At least when wannabe masters use it they suffer as much as us peasants.
