My first encounter with AI.



I quoted Plex documentation where it explains in detail that you need port 32400 OPEN for remote access. https://support.plex.tv/articles/200289506-remote-access/
I linked the CVE but here is the plain language version because you didn’t read what I linked:
https://www.howtogeek.com/over-300k-plex-servers-are-still-vulnerable-to-attackers-despite-emails/
"The flaw has been assigned a CVSS score of 10.0, the highest possible level of severity. This score indicates that the vulnerability can be exploited remotely over the internet, is easy to execute, and requires no authentication or interaction from the server’s owner. A successful attack could result in a total loss of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. An attacker could access, modify, or delete a user’s private media files, or even disable the entire Plex server. "
What the fuck is wrong with you?


The reason to run the reverse proxy with Jellyfin is for the encryption. It’s written in the documentation that way. It’s why I still run Plex. I never finished getting through their steps to get the reverse proxy setup for the encryption.
It’s like I said you use a car to go to work and you reply AKSUALLY a car runs on TIRES. The OP didn’t say CAR.


You obviously don’t use Plex to claim it doesn’t need an open port for remote access:
I already posted a CVE that allowed hackers access to a Plex server running at home.


He said an encrypted tunnel does nothing. I don’t even run Jellyfin but that statement is false.


Which Plex does by default. He doesn’t understand that running Plex at home opens itself up to the Internet. I specifically referenced a CVE that let hackers into your home if you ran Plex.
His claim that securing Jellyfin with an encrypted tunnel does nothing is false.


Jellyfin doesn’t open up your network unless you specifically allow remote access exactly like Plex. The only difference is Jellyfin doesn’t have the encrypted tunnel built in- you need to know it needs it and add it yourself.
Plex has had bugs that allowed remote access into your home’s Plex server. https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-34158

It’s likely Marge did the actual writing and let Homer take the credit.


It’s not the binary. It’s that the logs it writes are in binary so can’t be read without a program.


That’s the joy of open source though: you can stop it.
Not really. Unless you are prepared to devote your life to changing the source code to what you want, you have to accept it. And because you forked you are no longer downstream and will have to spend the rest of your life keeping up with patches.
It’s not much different than Windows. You could write a OneDrive uninstaller but you will have to spend the rest of your life with patches every time MS updates and breaks your uninstaller.


If your favorite thing is being ruined and you can’t stop it, I can understand frustration being displayed as anger.
It’s the same when Windows users get angry at things like OneDrive. It’s forced on them and they don’t want to have to work around removing it like people having to work around how Gnome is integrated into systemd.


Ok, I’ll capitalize the first letter and add an exclamation point to the end. Happy?
I bet brute force hash checkers assume the first letter is capitalized because of current password policies.


There are many legitimate complaints. Bundling a bunch of services into a single binary goes completely against Unix philosophy. Systemd changing from text to binary logs is my pet peeve.
Copying how Windows does things isn’t necessarily the best.


Yes all those features (compression is one of many ) are stupid, few if any actually use them, and it unnecessarily complicates everything.
I even hate edid. It keeps kvms from working.


I honestly don’t know what you are arguing about. If someone has $100 it is technically worth more than $100. If they give you that $100 you now have that $100 which is also technically worth more than $100. It’s the same $100 + unspecified future value either way.
If you argue the $8.4 trillion in net worth of Billionaires is worth more than the $8.4 T, then if that $8.4 was taken from them it is also worth more.


Display Port has fancy features like Display Stream Compression where the driver compresses the image going to the screen.
The solution would be for MS to move those features into Windows rather than allow manufacturers flexibility in implementation. MS would get bad publicity for monopoly and then have to deal with fixing Windows for every off brand monitor because the manufacturer didn’t follow the standard exactly.
Yes that’s the Atari 2600.
