I suspect somebody could do some damage if they managed to infiltrate one of the reverse proxy containers. That might net you some useful credentials from the home gamers as they’re doing the HTTPS wrapping themselves.

Any container that gets accessed with a web browser could potentially contain zero day exploits, But truth zero days with a maximum CVE value are rare.

I’m down for paying for a piece of software. I bought a lifetime subscription back in the day I feel like until recently it served me pretty well. And to be fair they are caching the movie database, providing SSL keys, epg, low speed proxy through cgnat for people, there’s quite a bit too there cloud operations that they do deserve money for.

What pisses me off is the mining of my watch habits, and the slow and enshitification of features.

14 years of lifetime Plex pass for $75, they don’t really owe me anything, But I am moving on.

I’m slowly digging my way out of sights with algorithms, clawing my way out of Google is particularly difficult. I’m considering spinning my own Alexa with whisper

Assuming you set it up for SSL, and you own and manage your own domain, and they’re using a computer. Easy. So for the 10% it’s cake.

How’s it look for the rest?

Normal people really don’t like to donate,

I’m on a medium-small instance; if %5 of users donate a dollar a month, the hardware would likely be paid for.

If lemmy.world had %0.01 of users paying, they could probably cover their hardware, storage and network fees.

If you’re not paying the admin’s mortgage, it not that hard to chip in. Unlike the other “options”, no one is getting ad revenue or selling your data, if that’s not worth a cup of cheap coffee a month for 1:20 people they have their priorities in the wrong places. .
