Honestly if you do know what you’re doing that’s still true. They’re really good at looking like good code which makes it not always obvious when it’s not, even to an experienced developer.

Or maybe more bluntly, they’re really good at volume, not necessarily quality.

Plex logins go through their login server so you’ll also have login throttling and probably other bot protections.

Definitely.

But I think more than copium it’s them understanding their users. It’s advice for people that will figure out how to run Jellyfin but won’t stay on top of updates, setup a waf, use a firewall/reverseproxy to limit access, etc. There are surely a lot of those that just one clicked an installer etc and for them it’s good advice.

I’m sure undermining your officers like this is great for morale and discipline of the troops under them. Great job Dumb McNamara.

I’m not going to defend this garbage but is this really slop? Just seems like your average ad injection.

Like father, like son.

Doubt

Seems fishy… Can it do the reverse for proprietary code? If not, seems like it’s relying on being trained on the original code and not “clean room”.

That said, you fork it, you own it. Not technically a fork I guess but conceptually. And all code has bugs so welcome to your full time job maintaining 50 different previously freely maintained libraries.

A lot of times I feel like its more than lazy, its rude.

Either its something I’m supposed to know and you think I’m dumber than chatgpt or to dumb to look it up myself.

Or it’s something you’re supposed to know and don’t think I’m worth the time to give me your opinion.

Either way, feels like a fuck you.

Man probably needed to eat. What a system we’ve got.
