Plex is a solid meh/10 back end wise, provided you have the knowledge to run the docker container it’s not that bad.
Running it standalone is potentially effort.
My main issue with plex is it’s transition into enshittification as a service.
Apologies, i cannot divulge that information as per the NDA i signed at the time.
/s
I shouldn’t have anything to hide, but I’m part of a group the current fascist leadership in government want’s to eradicate, so hide I shall.
I agree and i think a lot of people who espouse “nothing to hide” as an approach haven’t actually thought it all the way through.
Then there’s the fascists, dictators, oligarchs and other all around shitbags who just want the control.
That said, I also feel like people acting like the remote server they are connected to is tracking what you do on it as some kind of surprise is so stupid. “Facebook is keeping track of the pictures I uploaded to it!!!” There’s a lot of stuff to complain about Facebook, google, or whoever, but them tracking stuff you send to them willingly isn’t one of them.
This always surprises me, i originally thought it was because people didn’t understand how these things work or how capitalist companies work.
More and more it seems like people don’t care until it affects them, which is somewhat understandable, it takes effort to care about this stuff and a lot of people will never be directly affected by the consequences.
What i do still think is that the general population has no idea the extent of what can be done with all of the information they are volunteering.
That’s very slowly changing but the usages of the data are also increasing at a much more rapid pace than before.
Oh yeah, the whole article could be reductively summed up as
“DeepSeek and all the other LLM services are almost as bad as each other, but we think deepseek is worse…because the Chinese government are known for doing bad things”.
The title is factual, if a little clickbaity.
Obviously keystrokes you submit to a website are submitted to the website.
This though, it’s not technically accurate, a lot of forms and input are done client side and then the resulting information is parceled up and sent to the server.
The actual keystroke data isn’t normally sent.
Though this article doesn’t go in to what kind of keystroke data is sent, if it was something more than just which keys in which order then that’s perhaps an indicator that it’s actively being collected for a reason, rather than just incidentally.
If you want to get really paranoid about such things it’s known that you can you can do interesting things with actual keystroke data.
Also, afaict none of the the non-chinese services have specified that they don’t do this.
i mean…yes? that is generally how search platforms work.
I wouldn’t recommend anybody use any google based stuff directly (or at all, if possible) but if you do, then sending the search query is generally what would happen.
Also fair.
If you’ve got nothing to hide you don’t have to worry ?
edit : For clarification, i consider “If you’ve got nothing to hide you don’t have to worry” to be a naive argument, at best, in any privacy conversation, but I’m not averse to a well-reasoned argument to the contrary.
The wording here was unclear, what i mean to ask was:
“do you believe If you’ve got nothing to hide you don’t have to worry ?”
It’s interesting as a subject but I dislike this as a presentation format.
This is the video equivalent of “this meeting could have been an email”.
Also his voice and cadence are irritating, but I recognise that that’s a personal gripe. Certainly an “old man shouts at cloud” moment but coked up youtuber energy isn’t my jam.
Is…that not what’s supposed to happen?
I don’t have any other socials so I’m not too up on what the standards are.
How so?
IIRC licensing monopolies and capitalist bullshit.

“News outlet” might be the most generous interpretation I’ve ever seen.
Do you have an example of this ?
Are you suggesting that generation-specific vernacular is a sign of poor education?
For me specifically, the setup and config oftentimes is what I’m doing with the computer, the learning and knowledge gained from the practice is what I’m after, which is good because it’s significantly less fun than it used to be.
Admittedly mine is probably a non-standard case and it ties in with other things in my life.
Condolences on your loss.
Depends on how you define ‘cost’ I suppose, but seems like the trade off isn’t worth it for you, which is fair.
Some might value the perceived benefits much higher than you do.
What if the life I’m imagining I’m protecting is one where I have the option of choosing a platform/application that isn’t scraping the absolute dregs of the barrel to squeeze out that last bit of profit margin.
That’s a win win right?
The book is great as well, there is also a prequel book “The Boy On The Bridge”
The differences here are that ORM and web frameworks weren’t actively making the job harder and the sheer surface area of the problem.
If you fuck up with a framework or an ORM, it generally just fails to work, the magic internals might not be super helpful with their error messages, but such is the nature of the tradeoffs.
If you fuck up with an LLM you get something that generally compiles and looks like it should work, that’s much more of a problem for both you and anyone who then needs to go trawling through, looking for the issues.
