  • Jellyfin is not there yet but it definitely can be. It can be done pretty easily without any centralised server.

    1. Sending people magic links to their accounts on their phones that auto log them into Jellyfin.
    2. Make IP dictionary to have people type “cat mug door end” which pings the server with a login from an IP.
    3. Show QR code.
    4. Scan with an authorised app which pings the server to authorise the device on behalf of the user.

    It’s passwordless 4 word input + phone scan that can be optimised for TV pretty heavily since you only need make something 10^12 unique to account for all IPv4.

    It will take around 15-30 hours to code though for a person familiar with Jellyfin on android TV and server.



  • I’m with you that the title and ranking of US as #10 is wrong. The graph is still just a graph of a select few countries with a large population as an illustration.

    The way OP presented it is misleading as if those are the top ranking countries and that this is the entirety of their development aid. The article is specifically for aid provided by the state for DAC/OECD members which excludes private aid where it doesn’t contain ranking and only contains a short list of countries.

    The post is misleading, the Wikipedia isn’t.









  • SS7 protocol for 2G and 3G is vulnerable to man in the middle attack, easy to spy on people with. They use a walled garden approach al the primary defence mechanism and you can gain access through in for the low low price of couple of thousands of USD.

    Couple of exploits are intercepting or monitoring calls and texts and triangulating position by checking what cell towers are in range.





  • As a sidenote here I have a different issue where handing people your CC info is basically handing out the private keys to your bank account to a third party.

    I’d really like it if a credit card would use a public key system where you can verify that I have the funds and that the payment originates from the payment provider instead of getting my full CC details. I don’t really see why it’s necessary for a business to know who I am instead of just getting a green light from Mastercard or Visa to make the payment.
