A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Do we even know that Plex is better? It’s closed source and hasn’t been audited afaik

Yes... because you can take the raw request your browser makes... remove your auth cookie and replay the same request and it fails.

Closed source doesn't mean that it can't be tested for problems. Just means that you can't go to the code to understand why it's a problem. You can still see that the problem exists (or doesn't in this case).

Edit: I haven't tested every api endpoint myself... but for video files it doesn't work. It's not vulnerable to the same thing that JF is in that specific case.
