My mouse kept nagging to install their special software until I tracked down a registry key to disable it.

Hardware vendors, you sell a piece of equipment, quit trying to be a damn marketing company too

Only? I would have to guess at far greater given secondary factors like chip manufacturing and power consumption

How about we compromise by saying remove them all, give back the money spent, delete all data and in exchange you don’t get the treatments due one helping enable orwillian levels of suvelance

Bosses cashed out and left the carcas to rot

Low level anti-aircraft system design sounds like a fun engineering hobby

More alarming was the upshot of that lawsuit: a judge ruled that because Anthropic was turning the physical texts into digital ones and destroying the original copies, it was “transformative” and therefore didn’t violate copyright law.

So by that token if someone digitizes a physical medium and makes it available to the public copyright is no longer valid. Otherwise, having it ingested by an AI has no purpose it it’s not meant to be referenced in response to requests by the end user.

There’s that, and also part that’s donations by viewers and sponsors. While they need funding to maintain operational costs I don’t think they have the typical pressure of expecting a return on investment to deal with, so volunteer supported archiving, hosting via things like peertube or youtube without needing to show ads, there’s room for some novel operations that other content producers don’t have.

I keep saying, if this stuff is publically owned works made by the corporation for public broadcasting, put up some official torrents and let the public archive it for free. Mr. Rogers would surely approve of sharing for the common good.

But because it was an AI of course nobody get’s held responsible.

Encrypt before send, and if you want to have protection against deletions of the data have a cold backup offline other than during the copy.

Plenty visible just reading some old books. It took a bit to parse through reading Robinson Crusoe just for the way sentences are formed sometimes.

I’m meant to be getting it this summer when they finish building around here. Very much looking forward to not having that bottleneck at the edge of my local network.

Mine has tended to spawn descendants along the way, random bits and parts being assembled for others in and out of the household.

The purist part of my head wants to define self hosting as something done on your own hardware that no actor external to your net can influence directly, even to the point of requiring a licence check against an outside server is not ‘self hosted’.

By that definition it gets a bit dicey with a lot of projects that are at all complex though, so you have to decide your own line.

Firewalls are typically built using ‘in’ rules, but it’s not referring to ‘wan > lan’ but rather if the rule is processed on the ingress of the firewall or the egress.

Stateful firewalls sessions are always going to allow responses, the old request that someone needs a rule ‘both directions’ is something of a running joke at this point honestly.

A pcap would explain a lot, the fact that the error cites a specific domain does sound like an outbound attempt, but if it was a specifically inbound region block that wouldn’t add up.

Assuming that the ‘enter.domain.here’ is a masking of the real domain, I would have to wonder if the acme client is actually trying to use the http validation rather than DNS. You could pcap on the outside to look for it coming in to confir.

As for filtering to specifically allow their addresses, I think their system has a unique user agent that you could filter against, or use an inbound proxy to allow global access to the ‘/.well-known/acme-challenge/’ path while keeping the rest of the site blocked.

Yeah, the whole ‘you now have a mandatory account’ made for a mad scramble of how to disable every possible scrap of data sent to them. It may have been some small push into the self hosting game too.

I’d gotten a lifetime premiere key, mostly for the ldap functionality at the time. Something I can buy once and use rather than subscribing to everything is always a winner for me.

I poked at Jelly a bit ago, but as I recall the auto organize was abandoned (kinda a big deal to me) and something about conversions being a problem. Basically I just didn’t see anything that would make me inclined to go through the hassle of reworking what already works.

Any reason it wouldn’t work with Emby too? Have had it since before there was a Jellyfin spun off so I’ve just rolled with it.
