Maybe, but even experienced devs seem to want to fall into the trap of thinking their expertise will mean they can skim review AI code and spot it’s mistakes rather than taking the time to properly review and understand the code. Low effort is low 3ffort regardless of your expertise.
I think anything over the “assisted” threshold in the OP is low effort and should be dumped.
What advice do you expect from a Linux discussion group? I suggest you do what you feel is right for a subjective decision like this, all hearing other people’s opinions will do is confirm your feelings.
So all the bad things of both, still a proprietary product that you can funnel your cotent through servers you don’t control while simultaneously not being plex.
The misunderstanding that funneling your data through plex servers is functionally equivalent to exposing it to the internet.
It’s a LOCAL privilege escalation vulnerability. You need sufficient access to be able to execute arbitrary code locally on the machine. You would need a remote code execution vulnerability in an exposed service (VPN, web server, game server and so on) before an attacker could chain to this to get remote root on your system.
This disclosure has been rushed for the views and hype IMO, none of the big distros had fixes ready to go on this this morning.
There is a significant difference between AI assisted and AI produced from what I’ve seen and experienced so far.
Assisted takes generated code and uses it to inform the code actually written, letting it fulfill a boiler plate function or the place of a junior coder at worst.
Then there are those project committing the AI produced code largely unreviewed and unchanged.
Former is mostly fine but needs an experienced coder who trained writing code unassisted (where are new coders of that caliber going to come from now?), the latter is a morasse of slop.
I’d argue that it’s self managed but not self hosted, it’s still running on somone elses computer and they ultimately control what you can and cant do with it. The distinction is murky though because a lot of the discussion here is about managing services rather than the hosting infrastructure (though of course there is some of that too).
Can you do letsencrypt dns challenges against the free tier now? This was one reason I moved to duckdns. Plus I kept forgetting to login to keep the account alive so it would just stop working until I logged in and reactivated. Duckdns do emulate that experience with their random downtime though 😂
Those are the the ones that somone has managed to find in closed source software…
I don’t think it is that is more polished, it’s just you pay for them to do the stuff you need to do yourself with reverse proxying, opening ports, securing stuff. This is only an issue if you are sharing outside your network of course.
Why bother self hosting at all then? Paying somone else to do it for you and the deal constantly getting altered is pretty what you signed up for.
That’s because you had somone elses servers doing that part for you.
Fully aware and autonomous? Sounds like AI talk to me…
It’s a donation that is deceptively framed in my opinion, bit of a dark pattern, but the product is fully open source so most give it a pass.
Worse they often report issues that affect them but still don’t commit resources to resolving those issues.
You can run a separate db server using local storage and use NFS only for the data volumes for the applications themselves.
IMO these kinds of poor man’s automation scripts are only useful to novice sysadmins but those are exactly the kind of people who shouldn’t be running scripts they piped from the internet for both the fact that it’s risky behaviour and the fact they don’t then get the experience doing this manually for themselves to move on from being novice.
That said, let’s not gate keep. If novices don’t want to gain experience actually doing sysadmin work and level up their abilities and just want stuff that will probably work but that they’ll not be able to fix easily if it doesn’t, at least it’s a starting point and when things break some of them will look deeper.
Of the options I would say 2 but you forgot option 3, have a hardware router handle it and trunk the ports to the proxmox hosts.
