  Oh yes it’s a thing, to a lesser extent than Reddit though obviously. In order for anything to be done about it though, the bot accounts usually have to do something that betrays the fact that they’re bot accounts though. Such as accidentally passing through a variable instead of the value, such as with your post. Hence why you will see people question you

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are you using RSS for?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  For good reason. For years bots have been making Reddit posts just to farm for content for YouTube videos or market research

  The way it works is that finding vulnerabilities required a lot of technical understanding and mental effort. A software could have a glaring hole in it for years without anyone finding out simply due to nobody really looking. AI just gives you the ability to do rudimentary exploit analysis around the clock without having to spend your own time. This is a wake up call to anyone making software in sloppy fashion.

  But it isn’t quite as easy as saying “AI hack into this service”, if the person doing the hacking is using the same model as the person who made the service, and that person already asked the AI to do that and fixed the resulting exploit prior to release.

  Even projects that use AI in a limited fashion to code or even not at all, often use AI to at least do some red team stuff prior to release.

  Even with the inflated prices, buying storage is much cheaper than renting it from cloud services.

  The target lifetimes for a NAS hard drive is 5 years. A 16TB NAS drive will cost less over that 5 years than Apple’s 2TB cloud storage plan. And that’s assuming Apple won’t raise over those 5 years (they will).

  You didn’t know that when you posed a question to the community that people would answer it?

  So you asked the question in bad faith because you just wanted to whinge about Jellyfin, got it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plex vulnerabilities being exploited in the wild to drop a cryptominer⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not saying you don’t think it’s polished, I’m saying that if Jellyfin is where you set the bar for what “polished” means to you, then the rest of the open source world is going to blow your mind.

  Jellyfin being a duct taped mess on the other hand isn’t part of any subjective opinion, that’s just the state the software is in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plex vulnerabilities being exploited in the wild to drop a cryptominer⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean sure it would seem polished if that’s the one one you’ve ever used and have no point of reference lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plex vulnerabilities being exploited in the wild to drop a cryptominer⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wouldn’t call it subjective. The issues that it has are all objectively there, whether or not you’re bothered by them is what’s subjective.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plex vulnerabilities being exploited in the wild to drop a cryptominer⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Running your own crypto miners doesn’t make sense anymore because the cost of electricity. Running a crypto miner using someone else’s electricity on the other hand…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plex vulnerabilities being exploited in the wild to drop a cryptominer⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because Jellyfin is an ugly, duct taped together mess. It’s very utilitarian at best, when everything is working. Ease of use is just not there for your non-technical friends and family.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self-Hosting a DNS Sinkhole is really important⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah it’s more like all the sites and services that used blocked links that you have to add to the whitelist or in some cases be able to turn the protection off and on. It’s a regular occurrence for me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self-Hosting a DNS Sinkhole is really important⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because you have to mess with it all the time. It’s easier to get in and get out to make changes with the nice interface. It’d be different if it was set it and forget it but realistically it’s not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self-Hosting a DNS Sinkhole is really important⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The main way is it has a built in recursive DNS server so you don’t have to duct tape Pi Hole and Ubound together

  He was trying to reach a particular place in the cave but wasn’t where he thought he was. Both the place he was trying to reach and the place he actually was, are extremely tight squeezes that are literally impossible to turn around in. The difference is, the place he thought he was, has a large cavern on the other end where you can stand up and turn around. Once he realized he wasn’t where he thought he was, his only real option was to move forward and hope it led somewhere with more room. Falling into the hole the way he did was largely an accident in pursuit of that goal.

  Nobody who wants a “tighter, tastier” experience is going to like RDR2

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer released early by rockstar after it was supposedly leaked⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago⁩:

  It gets a little better in its last 3rd, but only story wise. It is a remarkably bland experience compared to the first game.

  Theres too much to do.

  There’s nothing to do.

  Which is it lmao
