Credit where due, it is just my best guess. I have no evidence.
I simply think if you have custom code on a machine to ingest data, creating a federation interface may be more suitable and stable in the long run than a scraper. The extra server load may draw attention or run amuck with security policies designed to obscure scrapers.
But that is certainly an option.
Personally, that crosses my mind. But I came over in the reddit revolt and saw lemmy as a fresh start. Privacy isn’t easy, but at least make them work for it.
Also, I figure (if it hasn’t happened already) some federated instances out there are nefarious, set up to harvest data.
We just had a helicopter doing low passed over our house and watching the flight on a tracker, it was clear it was casing chosen neighborhoods. The lengths someone went to sell whatever info they grabbed means it’s highly valuable. The fediverse is open and waiting for it to be datamined.
When has AI been for the benefit of the people more then a trinket to toy with.
It will benefit companies to streamline workflow (replace employees) and lock in patents at an alarming rate. Calling “First!” will cement decades of profit.
Oh, and don’t forget behavioral training. You thought invasive ads were bad now…
Fun times ahead! 😁
I’ll chip in too.
Wait, what?
So you take a pic, it’s analysed, the analysis is encrypted, encrypted data is sent to a server that can deconstruct encrypted data to match known elements in a database, and return a result, encrypted, back to you?
Doesn’t this sort of bypass the whole point of encryption in the first place?
Edit: Wow! Thanks everyone for the responses. I’ve found a new rabbit hole to explore!
Ohh good point. Have a call center friend; heard stories…
I don’t think it’s terrorism either as I understand. Terrorism targets citizens for leverage.
Not saying you are wrong about the marginalized, but in this case she made, what could be considered threatening, a call to a health care provider that was not only actionable, but entirely recorded.
“The system” won’t make an example out of her, “Exhibit A” will. That’s the difference.
I imagine the “Delay, Deny, Depose” didn’t get her in trouble nearly as much as the “You people are next” part. Yeah, that’s a bit hostile there.
Should I worry?
I’ve had this stuff in logs since the late 90’s. It was concerning at first, but port scanning and scripts are the internet’s background static now.
Is this normal internet behaviour?
Yup. Welcome to self hosting!
Should I expect even worse kinds of attacks?
Not that it will happen, but good security expects attacks. I like to say “Obscurity is not security.”
What can I do to improve security on my website and try to block these kinds of requests/attacks?
As these scrips are targeting code you don’t run, they can be ignored relatively safely.
You can take a couple steps to lock things down like not responding to ping on WAN (less enticing to port scanning) locking down firewall settings, geolocation blocking, authentication, etc.
That said, if the script changed to something you DO host, you may be in for a bad day. Good to stay on top of security patches in that case.
“Donation”
Someone bought $1M of something behind closed doors. Plus a sweet tax write-off.
Google reeeeally thrilled at handing over $60,000,000 licensing reddit content for search now.
Lmao.
Not sure I’ll answer your question, but I would think the root folder would be /movies so I’d double check those settings. You may have to manually specify /movies/Star wars an another root folder.
If that is all set up right, I believe the *arr apps organize media too. You may have a user/app conflict with your file structure so you’d have to do all that manually.
AI is a plaque upon housing in America.

It’s the first thing after the title. At least it wasn’t an AI article I suppose.
I kinda get that vibe from the police too. Just $10,000? Don’t try too hard there, now.
I was denied emergency life saving medication by my insurance (not united iir) and ended up in the hospital the next day for a week. Billed an average $15,000 a day each day.
After the bills came in, it was apparent someone/algorithm put me in the hospital to bill the most money for profit. It was a nasty trick.
Anyways, $10,000 seems like chump change to them. More of a “well, we tried” bounty.
You can use an expansion unit DX517 to add more dives or upgrade existing to larger ones if you use some form of Raid/SHR.
The swap-drive-and-rebuild-array route can take it’s sweet time.
Pedestrians were not part of this study.
This is my hunch too. Perhaps the UI is more distracting with Tesla’s implementation of screens/menus/feedback for car functions too.
Just pointing out the study emphasize occupant fatalities which I take as to exclude external fatalities such as other vehicles.
Still use mine in my cannon point and shoot. (Just as a storage device though) The software support has long ago suckified when “cloud” became all the rage, but it was awesome to sync camera <-> PC without messing with adapters or cables.
Sounds like a great idea, but a significant portion of 1-star reviews point out massive data collection issues.
More information necessary before I install this on my system.
