I’ve not looked but if the video id is based on its path, then surely the path includes the filename no? You can’t split a hash into its separate original parts, you either guess the entire thing or not. So in that case, the hash is going to challenging to brute force.

Ah okay. When I used Plex it had hardware acceleration. But I’d been a Plex Pass lifetime pass user for years so forgot the distinction between that and non pass. Thanks

no local hardware accel

What do you mean by this?

If you want free, there are alternatives. Plex is a business, with employees. Plex pass is their business model.

I think locking remote play is entirely enshitification however, but I get it. Plex model has them provide authentication and relay services. They are now trying to push their own streaming services which I expect is a real money sink.

This is more about familiarity than difference in ease of use. I’ve used both, they are both super easy.

If you are the only user then use seafile pro. It’s free for up to 3 users.

I recently decommissioned my old poweredge T620. Beast of a thing, 5U heavy af. It had 8x10T drives and was the primary media server.

Now that it is replaced I bought 2x Synology RS822+ and filled them with the old disks. Using SHR2. They are mixed brands bought at different times so I’ve made sure each NAS has a mix of disks.

Lowest is 33k hours, highest is 83k.

I read that all the popular chat services provide similar information to law enforcement agencies. I don’t think telegram is special in this regard.

Isn’t your use case exactly what Ceph is for?

The keys I received during my education years were all deactivated sometime after I left university.

In 2010 I self hosted a Xen hypervisor and used it for everything I could. It was fun!

I had a drive failure in my main raid 5 array so bought a new disk. When it came to swap it out, I pulled the wrong disk.

It was hardware raid using an Adaptec card and the card threw the raid out and refused to bring it together again. I couldn’t afford recovery. I remember I just sat there, dumb founded, in disbelief. I went through all the stages of grief.

I was in the middle of a migration from OVH to Hetzner and it occurred at a time where I had yet to reconfigure remote backups.

I lost all my photos of our first child. Luckily some of them were digitised from developed physical media which we still had. But a lot was lost.

This was my lesson.

I now have veeam, proxmox backup server, backuppc and Borg. Backups are hosted in 2 online locations and a separate physical server elsewhere in the house.

Backups are super, SUPER important. I’ve lost count how many times I’ve logged into backuppc to restore a file or folder because I did a silly. And it’s always reassuring how easy it is to restore.

I like their ColorVu night vision technology so was going to buy a bunch of these for my next home.

Same as what I have done here, I put the cameras in their own isolated VLAN with no internet and they only rule is to allow the NVR to access those cameras streams.

Blasphemy!

Is that really 1% of the population incarcerated? Wow

https://demo.scrypted.app/ is the new kid on the block. Intuitive interface, easy to configure, not free, great system.

Not really the only reason. It would be better to just return “token invalid”.

It could occur by someone messing with the URL from the reset password email, like accidently adding an extra character before pressing enter

Or a poor email client that wraps the URL and doesn’t send the complete one when clicked.

Or someone attempting to find a weakness in the reset password system and sending junk as the token.

I have my dream domain. It was being squatted for a similar amount. I offered £100 and it was declined, I offered £250 and they replied to tell me the domain is easily worth the £2K, well sort after etc. I told them that this is my surname, and I’m not a corporation with unlimited funds and they can take the offer or leave it. 15 minutes later the offer was accepted. I was so happy. Still am chuffed about it.

I tried to get a squatted .UK domain through this process. Nominet are the authority for these domains. After acknowledging the request to both parties, I am then asked to pay £100 to assign a mediator. I guess this puts off frivolous requests, but it put me off going further.

Whilst it’s a shame this implementation sucks, I wish we would get intelligent traffic light controls that worked. Sitting at a light for 90 seconds in the dead of night without a car in sight is frustrating.

The logo looks like an ASCII butt.
