Those who have not been burned yet often don’t expect it to happen to them. Usually it isn’t anything big causing it but some typo in a config or software not updated on time.

Remember that with services facing public internet it’s not about if you get hacked but when you get hacked. It’s personal photos on someone elses hands then.

Your reply just raised so many questions but most importantly why would you need a VPN with Jellyfin? I mean it’s just server like any other which means install, add certificates or reverse proxy with certificates and if you’re behind NAT you would need to setup port forwarding.

I mean if you’re worried about server being exploited if not updated then opening it to the internet wouldn’t be good but isn’t that the case with Plex already?

So expected. Now anyone who’s able to support the non exploitative alternatives like Jellyfin please do. It’s how you keep the good things going.

Well that wasn’t in US or Japan but in French court so might not be as easy to pull that bs there. Still I was surprised a bit about the result but I guess it’s in line with how France is handling online services now.

What court case doesn’t big company with unlimited funds win?

Whatever floats your boat.

So companies lie and misuse the power they have without any real punishments. What a world we live in.
