  • She could have at least asked him to stop before destroying property.

    We don’t actually know that she didn’t, unless you’ve got another article with more detail. This article is sparse in details, but it’s only his word in it that she didn’t talk to him. That nobody was bothered by it. That it went from 0-100 in the span of a look.

    And idk about you, but that doesn’t sound all that likely to me, when everyone laughs at him for the consequences (seen in video). The whole thing screams this guy is an unreliable narrator. The whole thing to me reads like he knew he was pissing people off, like a YouTube prank channel sort of bother, and expected to walk away from it consequence free.

    This article has a bit more detail and it does make him sound like a shitty prank channel sort that relies on annoying other people going about their lives. But again has no info about the encounter except his own words.

  • If you do that, great! Genuinely good for you. You probably know the risks and how to mitigate them, or fix them if they become problems. Or don’t care, that’s a valid option too.

    I absolutely do not know the risks or how to mitigate them. I don’t want to fuck myself over doing something stupid against the consensus advice of basically everyone who ever talks about it. I don’t even fully understand how to make it accessible in the first place, despite having spent a few days looking into it on and off (same issue with sharing my calibre library, as it seems to be the same process). It’s way beyond my experience level, it’s intimidating, and frankly I’m not super interested in doing something that far out of my understanding comfort zone if it has any significant risks.




  • I’ve basically warned the people who use it that if they enshittify further I won’t be doing anything to try to maintain it.

    I gave them a PSA not to get a subscription, because I got a lifetime pass ages ago, but if they do much else I’m out. I’ll maybe, depending on the changes, keep hosting it in case they want to keep using it, but I won’t maintain it properly (it auto-adds stuff from my folders, ofc, so that’ll still happen, but I won’t fix any mismatches and stuff). I’ve already stopped giving new people access to it, as the writing is on the wall.

    I’m in the process of setting up jellyfin, but I have zero intention of making that available to anyone other than my partner (in IT, and already has access to my home VPN) because I’ve read how risky that is, and how you need to VPN them back to it or some shit and I’m just not willing to do any of that. Too risky and too much work cuz I don’t have a clue what I’m doing.

    I’d love a middle ground, but I’m not sure I’m willing to pay for another closed-source platform, and Idk if any open source platforms are ever going to be particularly good for remote sharing for non-techie users.
