I’m the administrator of kbin.life, a general purpose/tech orientated kbin instance.
I sometimes run windows as a VM. But generally just for specific software. Radio programming, some have only windows tools that won’t play ball with wine. They need the USB port passed through.
There’s also just some tools only viable in windows. But I generally have always gone for one step up from the current normal RAM amount because 1: Software development likes to eat ram and 2: I really don’t like to upgrade too often.
However, my understanding is that this could be exploited only by authenticated users with permission to add new media. Not like that’s a risk to ignore, but it’s not like it could be exploited by anyone on the Internet.
I wonder if that’s the reason for setting the default live TV management permission to false. Since that permission might well the the route to adding your own malicious m3u link for that second change.
Reverse proxy will let anyone connect to it. VPN, you can create keys/logins for your intended users only. Having said that, from what I could see, nothing in the security fixes were to do with authentication. I think (just from a cursory look), they could only be exploited, if at all from an authenticated user session.
But personally, something like jellyfin where the number of people I want to be able to access it is very limited, stays behind a VPN. Better to limit your potential attack surface as much as you can.
This is kinda my thoughts too. I have a generally “OK” setup now. 7800X3D, 64GB DDR5-6400 (I think it is 6400 anyway), and a 3080. Should be fine for now. At least to wait and see if we’re:
Hell, if the bubble bursts hard enough there might be some cut price action, just like all those juicy cheap enterprise HDDs we could get during the covid times. Maybe wishful thinking though.
Just remember who screwed you over if/when they come back to consumers, cap-in-hand.
From a cursory look at just the security commits. Looks like the following:
I’m not really sure how serious any of these are, or how they could be exploited however. Well aside from the local file in stream files one.
So good, you had to tell use twice?
Yeah but… Is America great again yet?
My body is a machine that is way out of warranty.
Ah OK. I’m on my own instance. So I don’t have any of those communities here. So in my case I won’t.
Yeah. But then to see it, you would have actually made the conscious choice to go to lemmynsfw, no?
Yeah I have 64GB DDR5 6400, and I am kicking myself that I didn’t get more. Yeah 64GB is enough. But might be a while before I can get more.
No, they’re saying Firefox uses so much ram they’re far far more likely to be a victim!
People are still having sex, and nothing seems to stop them!
Oh yeah, I saw that black mirror episode. Good thing it’s only fiction.
You either die a hero… Something something.
Not sure what you mean. I just saw asterisks.
Hmm. Gonna put a few euros on my auction servers. I would complain but the price has been static for 2.5 years.
And it would have gotten away with it, if it weren’t for that darn pesky judge!
I think my least favourite thing about AI is when customers tell me something won’t take as long as I say, if I use AI. Look, if AI can do it why do you need me?
The fact I’m not out of a job (yet) is because apparently AI cannot do everything I can. The very second it can I’ll be long gone.
So I am on the side of the lawyers here. For the first and only time.
I was tempted to get an AMD 9070XT and maybe pass the 3080 to windows (since AMD is generally regarded better in Linux). Somehow (at least here in the UK) the prices haven’t gone up for that card yet.
But then I bought a load of radio stuff instead. :P
