  • I agree with this. Self-hosting requires the user to understand their network, their software, how it all interacts.

    If you provide a hardware product and call it a solution, people are going to expect a turn-key solution like a plug-and-play router.

    You’re going to end up supporting a bunch of newbies who, by no fault of their own, can’t tell you an error code in the console let alone whatever UI you give them.

    I think a better solution would be a course that walks newbies through self hosting.






  • I really don’t know the architecture of fmovies but my guess is that it works similarly to sudo-lol but with specific providers instead of a long list of available providers.

    Even still, I’ve wondered how those providers load new content since I’ve never seen a way for end users to upload new files.

    Shows like Last Week Tonight get uploaded almost the same day.

    Anyway, to answer your question, I think fmovies is back with their .lol tld though I’ve moved over to sudo.

    There’s always going to be a replacement because clearly there’s a market for it. If only the people who actually hold the rights would realize that.




  • The government is cagey about how, exactly, this criminal activity was unearthed, noting only that Herrera “tried to access a link containing apparent CSAM.” Presumably, this “apparent” CSAM was a government honeypot file or web-based redirect that logged the IP address and any other relevant information of anyone who clicked on it.

    It looks like a combination of bad opsec and clicking on a download link.

    I know there has been some back and forth whether it’s good to use a VPN with tor and feel like this is just going to open up that conversation again.









  • You need a line break between your paragraph and your list.

    Depending on the car you might be able to physically disable telemetry. Here are some thoughts/ideas I’ve been collecting:

    • Hit “SOS” button and opt-out of all services through customer service. This of course requires trusting the company to actually do it.
      • It’s possible that the info could be stored locally and then uploaded when it gets serviced though
    • Remove the fuse to the modem/data communication module (DCM)
    • Disconnect wiring to the LTE antennas
    • A number of people have mentioned that they can get the dealer to disconnect the telemetry as a precondition to buying. For instance, here.
    • Jump the data communication module (DCM) cable with a ~$70 dongle to bypass just the telematics components
    • Disconnect the DCM cable, which will likely gimp the infotainment if not other systems, or remove the entire DCM unit
