A fair opinion. I simply try to avoid building a personal dependency on something that isn’t maintained so I’m less impacted if it suddenly breaks or there’s a vulnerability.

It’s a great tool though. One of the best security extensions bar noscript.

I did for a long time but Ray stopped maintaining it so I stopped using it.

Stallman would disagree with you, I believe. The Free Software Moment has never been about not making money, it’s about liberty with the software you use. Free as in freedom, not free as in beer; free as in libre, not free as in gratis.

Quote from FSF:

Many people believe that the spirit of the GNU Project is that you should not charge money for distributing copies of software, or that you should charge as little as possible—just enough to cover the cost. This is a misunderstanding.

Actually, we encourage people who redistribute free software to charge as much as they wish or can.

CVEs don’t get issued “resolved” statuses… They are either reserved, published, or rejected (technically NVD have a few extra for published). That’s just junk data in that tool you’re using. Use authoritative sources like cve.org or nvd.nist.gov.

You can see the CPEs on NVD and they’re old versions of Plex (and were old when the vulns were published).

You’re aware those CVEs are only relevant for ancient versions of Plex and were fixed long ago?

You’re going to need to back up your claim otherwise you might as well be lying as there’s no CVE like this I can find nor any public disclosure.

Plex have a bug bounty program and a responsive security team too.

Post your security report.

Have you had anyone with experience with security look at this thing? There’s a lot of really questionable practices in your schedule shell scripts. I especially find how you’re handling VPN secrets kinda worrying. And the backup_challenge_clients.sh script isn’t robust at all. Your nginx config has a few bad choices like lack of try_files, the regex \.php$. It’s definitely not hardened so I hope people don’t put this Internet facing.

I’ve spent like 5min in the GitHub to get a feel for the project maturity. Personally, I don’t think this is suitable for actual use yet.

If you’ve not done any security assessments on your project yet, you might not want to (a) call it “Safe”box and (b) might not want to start charging money for it until you do.

I worry you’re setting yourself up for a hard-to-shake-off embarrassment should a nasty vuln be found. Maybe a name like “selfbox” etc that drops the connotation of security would be safer.

Edit: Kudos on the project website though! Looks fricking gorgeous.

A wild sparkly fart appears

Who can murder someone with a PC this excellent?

Professor Belvedere “Fartsparkles” Tinkletuft was once a respected lecturer at the Neverwinter Arcane Academy. His groundbreaking research into “transmogrified odoriferous manifestations” (or, as the students called it, fart magic) was dismissed as childish and “in poor taste.”

In protest, the Professor vowed to prove that flatulence is the ultimate illusion. Through alchemical experimentation, he discovered how to weaponize his digestive essence into arcane displays — clouds of glittering gas, illusionary stink beasts, and even gaseous duplicates of himself.

Now he roams the realms, performing “scientific demonstrations” and occasionally saving the world — usually by accident.

That’s rather silly. Might as well include road signs “advertising” places to go and how far away they are.

I live in the countryside. You know, that place with all the green.

Zero but I’m neither average nor American.

Do you mean Zen Browser? Zed is a text/code editor.

You should cross post this to !battlemaps@lemmy.world

No

I’m sure there’s a decent fork. Read the code; there’s not much to it!

If you’re on the same network, take a look at snapdrop. It’s basically cross platform AirDrop.

What’s the context in which you’re needing to share files?

My first thought is host your own FTP server and send people credentials to log into it with and upload.

If this passes, piracy websites can rebrand as AI training material websites and we can all run a crappy model locally to train on pirated material.
