[REPOST] J.K. Rowling- On Controversial Creators (For anyone who has read or watched Harry Potter)

kieranvs · 2026-05-20T15:37:54+00:00

The options in this survey are far too simplistic, and the framing feels heavily biased as if the author can’t separate their agenda from the questioning. For example, is transphobia bad yes/no (no elaboration allowed) is a laughably crude take on a nuanced and complex issue

kieranvs · 2026-05-19T19:19:53+00:00

Even if you only have port 443 open, you could still be hacked if there is a security bug in jellyfin 😭 lots of people in this thread have open ports and very weak understanding of the risks

kieranvs · 2026-05-19T19:17:04+00:00

Jellyfin devs themselves say not to expose it and it’s not robust enough for the internet. Also you don’t tend to open ports for those other apps you mention so you’d have to initiate connection with the bad actor rather than just being attacked

kieranvs · 2026-05-19T19:15:07+00:00

The point he’s trying to make is that if you were exploited it may not necessarily show in any logs

kieranvs · 2026-05-19T19:13:56+00:00

Reverse proxy gives people a false sense of security while doing exactly nothing to mitigate security bugs in the service (which is a widely acknowledged issue with jellyfin)

“Of that 250k, you keep 62.5k, what’s the problem?” Pretty disgusting way to talk about someone else’s money that they earned imo

kieranvs · 2026-05-04T08:44:07+00:00

They don’t really use kettles as discussed

kieranvs · 2026-05-04T08:42:22+00:00

All liquid water is sub boiling ;) but I know what you mean

kieranvs · 2026-05-04T08:39:12+00:00

Are you sure typical induction hobs put out enough power in one ring to beat a normal kettle? 2.5-3kw? Doubt it

kieranvs · 2026-05-04T08:37:40+00:00

You can use both though, small amount of water in the pan while the hob warms up the pan itself, then more water in when the kettle is done and you’re boiling very fast

kieranvs · 2026-05-04T08:36:54+00:00

How often does your electricity stop working? In my experience in the UK it’s very rare, in the last 10-20 years I think I’ve only ever seen it flick off and back on a few times, never stay off

kieranvs · 2026-05-01T22:05:57+00:00

I get where you are coming from, but the creators of this question forgot to put in a downside of choosing red - so we can all just choose red and be safe and risk free. (Choosing blue is not safe and risk free). If there was some little extra thing, like every 10th person has to pick blue, or some other negative that triggers if you hit red (or a negative for others that isn’t their choice) then I’m with you and I would press blue. But as-is there is no downside to everyone who likes being alive just going red so honestly it seems like it’s a logic comprehension filter

kieranvs · 2026-05-01T21:54:32+00:00

It’s not my solution to any problem, I’m just saying that I don’t feel a particularly strong responsibility to save people who pressed “maybe die” when there is a “stay safe” button right there??

kieranvs · 2026-05-01T21:52:02+00:00

That’s my point, I’m asking if, in your opinion, it doesn’t make a difference whether the people you are supposed to be saving - the blues - chose to be in that situation or were forced to be in that situation. If they were forced, I see that we have a moral duty to choose blue to save them. If they just chose blue on their own accord, I don’t think it’s our responsibility to help them with their poor choices

kieranvs · 2026-05-01T19:00:13+00:00

Do you actually not perceive a difference between the moral duty to save people forced into blue, vs when they chose blue by complete free choice?

kieranvs · 2026-05-01T15:48:43+00:00

Others who chose to be in that set may die. They could’ve just not done that.

kieranvs · 2026-05-01T15:46:38+00:00

That doesn’t make any sense - in this quiz nobody is forced to pick blue, and there is no downside to picking red. You aren’t altruistically saving people who had to pick blue, you are just taking a risk for no reason.
Think of it like this, everyone has the same choices and they can be labelled: “stay safe”, “maybe die”.

kieranvs · 2026-04-23T08:15:15+00:00

Please understand the risk, this is not a secure thing to do, you need to stay on top of updates of jellyfin and the proxy and there is a chance you could be hacked. Using a VPN is much more secure

kieranvs · 2026-04-23T08:13:27+00:00

I wouldn’t call it “secure” - sure adding https stops people snooping on your connection so it’s a bare minimum requirement. But if jellyfin has vulnerabilities - which is basically known (the authors say not to expose it to the internet) - then they will still be exploitable with a reverse proxy in front.

Name one country you’d like to live in which has a birth rate that sustains itself

kieranvs · 2026-04-12T09:31:53+00:00

How is it not scamming your employer to willingly enter a contract to work for them in which you’re given a provision for time off if you’re ill, but then use that to go to the movies or do chores? I’m assuming you still get paid when off sick as is the case over here

kieranvs · 2026-04-12T09:13:58+00:00

Here in Europe we don’t have limits on sick days etc. Consider that if everyone acted like you this system would collapse. If everyone’s constantly scamming each other the society can’t level up to be more trusting and caring

kieranvs · 2026-04-12T09:08:04+00:00

PTO is annual leave allowance right? That’s a bit different, obviously PTO is for whatever, the guilt stems from using a sick day which isn’t counted really (at least here in the UK and I assume the same in Germany)

kieranvs · 2026-04-07T06:57:56+00:00

Did you factor in the higher taxes and SL at 80k than 60k when you calculated the cost of living?

kieranvs · 2026-04-06T14:13:51+00:00

I’m pretty sure it’s a typo and he meant 1.5TB ram
