This vulnerability made it possible to collect user data simply by knowing someone’s email address or phone number.

Another example of where it pays off to have separate email addresses/aliases for every website/service you use.

Now with Trakt doing their best to get rid of their non-paying users, I'm looking for self-hosted alternatives to track my movie/show catalog and my progress in watching it.

So far, I've found:

  • devfake/flox - the original, hasn't been updated in 5 years
  • Simounet/flox - fork of flox - started further development early 2024, added ActivityPub, reviews and some more features
  • MediaTracker - "highly inspired by flox" and also tracks books and computer games

These all come with (one-way) Plex integration to track what you're watching.

Before trying all the other ones mentioned in MediaTracker's README - is anybody using one of those already? Or some similar product?

EDIT: Suggestions from this thread:

Even then, are shops selling kitchen knives (mind you, despite the name, youtube-dl can be used to download videos from various sources) held liable for people doing murders with them?

EDIT: On a sidenote, the Hamburg courts are renowned to know jack shit about technology and often produce rulings against any common sense.

But when you report obvious fake accounts that merely exist for 5 days, follow 5000 people already and only have 3 followers themselves but a nice spammy link in their profile, they allegedly don’t violate any terms of services…

There was a discussion about this topic on Hacker News a few months ago:

One ex-Googler pointed out that due to the machine learning stuff and every new employee trying out the latest “AI” stuff on top of it, no human can understand and thus debug the search engine properly anymore.

The fear of naked (intact) female bodies, i.e. censoring of even the slightest nudity, when at the same time, it’s totally fine to have minors play computer games where they can dissect other humans in great bloody detail.

Oh, and chocolate that tastes like somebody barfed into it during manufacturing.

The brown paper-bag thing with alcohol in public. I mean, everybody and their dog knows what's in there, right?

And the fact that people ask if you need help if you decide to NOT take the car but instead walk the 5 minutes to somewhere.

“I have no idea who locked it in 2015,” she said. At that time, the iPhone displayed a message saying it would unlock in 80,000 hours.

This usually happens when you hand your phone to your toddler.

Maybe try to understand his point first?

From what I’ve gathered, Nix will create an immutable state of HA, but HA requires for additional packages to be downloaded - which NixOS doesn’t support/allow.

So users will end up with a broken HA install.

And guess where they will file bug reports about this? (Hint: It won’t be Nix…)

In the comments the victim said that the police said it were two emails they got. Not even a call.

Have they not heard of the TS100 or the Pinecil?

Both run an open-source firmware and work with any USB-C PD battery pack and still allow you to configure the temperature.

Even the 100MB/sec won’t work for long as these stupidly small MicroSDs tend to heat up A LOT and then go into throttling where the transfer rate goes down to <1MB/sec.
