Imagine downvoting “Be careful what you expose to the internet”. I thought I’d got away from Reddit.
The core message is (to me) fine.
What I kind of dislike is the delivery.
Btw: Can someone tell me why he path-guessing is so dangerous?
I don’t care if someone can guess the path for
the.rise.of.the.linux.ISO.720p.DD.H264.mp4and wants to download it.Not like any damage or (interactive) intrusion was made into my network
Cause organizations like Sony have already done things like installed rootkits on people’s computer. Now imagine they realize this is a flaw in some media setups the their legal departments start actioning on it. (generate a rainbow table of common names for files, and common paths used in linux/docker containers… running 10000 http requests on a server over a few minutes is child’s play)
All it takes it one thing to parse on a list that never had a physical release and now your whole server will be subject to discovery at the court case.
If you have literally no illegal content on your server, no problem… other than that you’ll be on the hook to provide proof of rights to have the content… and possibly at worst rights to distribute (they accessed it without authentication, so literally anyone else could have too).
Edit: Oh but hold on! I hear you say that it would be illegal for them to scan your computer like that…
Except it isn’t. There’s no law that says you can’t try to navigate to a URL. There are laws that say that you can’t bypass attempts to authenticate/protect content… but remember the endpoint isn’t behind authentication.
I’m betting most of it is because some terminally online folks here have seen me post similar things before (the last time was like a month ago though… so I dunno)… So they think I’m some misinformation campaign or something. I don’t know. Anywhere I go on the internet it seems I trigger people by pointing out obvious things regularly. I just accept that society is fucked at this point.
Edit: Yup, went and doublechecked. Last post I posted about plex in was 1 month and 5 days ago… https://lemmy.ml/post/28376589

All over a month ago… So I guess I must be a super shill to not even talk about plex for a whole month! I hope they don’t cancel my checks.
That’s based on the assumption that’s your only account, though. Not that I’m calling you a shill, just pointing out the obvious flaw in your logic. Any actual shill would have sockpuppets to spread out their comments and hide their history.
… Check my instance… Would be weird for me to shill for someone on my own instance that I’m an admin for, no? Wouldn’t I not shill for something directly on my admin profile? Also I think there’s one other mildly active user on my instance… Nobody else here to shill with.
I suppose I could make accounts on other instances… Nothing I could do to prove that isn’t the case… Just like I could say the same that all of lemmy is tankie bots.
What the other guy said. I repeat, I’m not actually calling you a shill. I even agree with your point about JF, I’m just pointing out your logic is faulty.
You’re just ignoring the point - we wouldn’t know that without doing some work, and it still doesn’t mean it isn’t being done.
I believe you when you say you aren’t doing it, but just like the issues with this reviewer, we just don’t know the extent.
Well then the obvious answer would be that if I had all these sock puppets… wouldn’t I just also upvote myself? Wouldn’t that make a malicious intent much more effective?
