As a pretty hardcore #TrueNAS and #Plex user my jaw was on the floor reading this review of prosumer home movie server/player equipment from Kaleidescape.
This great snippet should set expectations 😂
"The $2,995/£3,399 needed for the 4K Strato E puts Kaleidescape within reach of way more people than any player before..."
And that's just for the player! You're looking at another $6k for the server, with a measly 8TB of SSD in it.
From a dusty college Vaio to a full-blown Plex media hub, my first DIY server taught me: backups > performance, constraints breed learning, and self-hosting builds confidence. 🖥️💡
Control your tech. Build your freedom.
BOTS ARE EVERYWHERE. 50% of all Internet traffic are bots, 66% of bot traffic is malicious, 43% targets SMBs. @robert
@rolle @robert Going even beyond small businesses... I wonder how much malicious bots target just individual self-hosters?
I was once told that I shouldn't worry that Jellyfin could never send out a "we were breached" email like Plex does.. because nobody would ever try to hack into my Jellyfin server since I'm not a big corpo.
I have a bunch of files I need to move from one hard drive to another for boring reasons, and am wondering if this is a good time to finally rebuild my home server. I have an Intel NUC plus a Synology NAS for storage, and I mostly just run #Plex and #HomeAssistant.
With Home Assistant, I’ve been a bit annoyed with the Docker image not supporting some of the add-ons you can use if you use Home Assistant OS. I wonder if I should run that directly on the NUC, and then Plex on the NAS? 🤔
I did not receive the email from #Plex about the leak (username, password, email).
I change my password, disconnected all my sessions and even changed my email.
Change your #plex passwords now if you didn't know... It was sent to affected users but who knows?

Oh, yeah! #Plex got hacked!
They SAY passwords were hashed, but PLEASE #reset your plex #password and force a sign-out on ALL devices using their interface as follows:
When doing so, there's a checkbox to "Sign out connected devices after password change," which we recommend you enable.
Irritating...especially cos they don't say WHEN this happened!

PS: On Synology search the /volumes/Plex (or whatever you named it) for Preferences.xml - and continue with these instructions. I don't know why they don't include the #Synology instructions... they put out the Synology app!
So, all-in-all they've done a good job of hardening their server-side databases and ingress points, I'd say.
