  • The only logs from Pangolin are from me accessing https://overseerr.dom.tld/. From Plex’s GUI console though, I get this:

    Request: [172.18.0.2:46974 (WAN)] GET / (6 live) #18eb GZIP Signed-in
    Completed: [172.18.0.2:46974] 401 GET / (6 live) #18eb GZIP 0ms 464 bytes (pipelined: 1)
    

    That 172.18.0.2 is the IP of the Newt container (that subnet is its bridge network, anyway). So it’s making some request to Plex and receiving a 401?

    From Mozilla:

    The HTTP 401 Unauthorized client error response status code indicates that a request was not successful because it lacks valid authentication credentials for the requested resource.

    So what would cause Plex to throw a 401?





  • When you click that RSS link, it downloads a file that you can then import into your RSS reader of choice. It’s just a easy to aggregate anything you’d want to read via RSS (think of it like your own personal magazine subscription). If you mod a community you could set it up to get notifications when someone posts through that same reader application.






  • I think someone posted a video from that domain? I just checked my phone and realized I had downloaded the video, and sure enough, it appears to be from that domain… Hopefully no one trying to spread malware?

    Edit: looks like it came from the post about the Brazilian reporter commenting about Bolsonaro getting sentenced. Can’t find it to link now.




  • I think it was more prevalent when there were “console wars” i.e., fans of Xbox, Playstation, or Nintendo would shout at the other two about how great their system and games were. Some of it was probably marketing, some of it was overly excited and fanatical people making arguments for a thing they like. Generally, PC gamers get to enjoy a little bit of everything, from PC ports to emulators to their own exclusive swathes of games, but the label of “PC Gamer” feels marred by the idiots over at r/pcmasterrace.

    Nowadays I’d be very surprised to see this bickering, considering how cross-platform everything is now. Playstation games are on PC, Xbox games are coming to Playstation. Nintendo is… well, Nintendo.




  • I don’t mean to add to the discourse here or to keep giving you hypotheticals but, while learning to self host is fun and cool, you really do not want this thing on public Internet. Even if you can delete files to prevent uncouth things, what if someone uploads something while you’re asleep, or away from your computer? Do you have others monitoring the instance to take down CSAM or other illegal material? What if someone uploads malware and it executes on your machine? If you must leave it exposed, you should allow only family and friends to access via a strongly passworded account(I think that is configurable with copy party).

    If you really want to expose services, try a media server like Plex or Jellyfin. You don’t want strangers to upload things to your machines.
