Depends on your definition of "smart’ I guess. ZigBee stuff like buttons and the like probably won’t become obsolete for a long time. I guess you could argue that ZigBee protocol updates could eventually brick them though. Good thing a lot of it is open source

I would rather use dialup.

It doesn’t require an internet connection at all unless you want to update the firmware on the cameras 🙂 Oh, and I guess to view the web UI you’d need a LAN connection but it doesn’t need to connect to the full internet.

Frigate and Reolink are a good combo. Frigate is absolutely fantastic and can detect objects, sounds, and/or save clips and recordings to your pool. There’s really nothing better imo.

She didn’t do that, Ethan just wanted a scapegoat.

I didn’t say they didn’t. But if a site is blocking you, that’s the site admins configuring that, not Cloudflare.

Do you have “Allow Loginfallback” enabled in the YouTube plugin?

I’m able to use it at the moment, could be either my fallback settings or they’re doing a staged rollout of what breaks things.

I’m not sure why you’re trying to bring that up when this comment of yours is what I’ve been responding to the entire time:

Nope. Cloudflare use a complex set of fingerprinting tools that determine security scores. It’s literally social credit system for web user agents and the site admits have little control over that.

Cloudflare does force nor opt in site admins to use the score. You said that site admins have little control over that. That is not true, because site admins do not have to use the score when configuring WAF. If they do not configure blocking based on score, they do not block the scored traffic at any point, no matter the score.

Your comment before this one said:

You control the score but not how its calculated. My score is incredibly high just because I’m on Linux with Firefox - how important is that to you as an e-commerse site admin?

So I said that the score doesn’t matter if you don’t block based on score. Since my client with an e-commerce site isn’t configuring any WAF rules based on the determined score, then it isn’t important to me (as a site admin plus their Cloudflare administrator), because it’s not a factor at all.

Now, if you were to enable the rule to block based on score then it could certainly affect users, because it was configured to do so. It comes down to proper configuration of the tools provided. If I were going to use the WAF rule based on score (again, I don’t do this, because I use other rules to check for malicious traffic), I would configure it with a managed/interactive challenge and not block them entirely. Cloudflare provides you with a percent metric based on how often this challenge is passed.

I said that in my original comment:

just not over the calculation itself

If you don’t use the score, it’s not a factor. I don’t use the score at all for my clients. You are not required to use it.

It’s literally not limited. If you don’t put a WAF rule based on the score then it doesn’t get blocked based on the score. It’s that easy. I’ve got clients and my own site on Cloudflare, so I know how it works. You don’t even need the pro subscription to do that.

While true that there are security scores, the site admins set which score (if any) to block at. So, they do have control over that. Same goes for the bot fight mode as well. So, site admins do have control over whether or not to block based on the associated score, just not over the calculation itself unless configured otherwise.

I’m using a VPN with my cloudflare reverse proxies right now. That blocking is configured by the website owners, not Cloudflare.

I posted this elsewhere, but CAPTCHAs have always been used to train models, and have always had to improve themselves even before LLMs blew up. This article was posted from a site with an .ai tld, and seems to be doing the whole Sam Altman “I’m scared of AI, AGI is right around the corner! I certainly don’t have a vested interest in making you think it does more than it actually does”

So, if I click the block button (which, trust me, I plan on doing regardless of your answer), you think that it somehow prevents others from seeing you be this dumb?

If someone walks away from you in person after you tell them the dumbest thing they’ve heard all day, does that somehow mean they’re censoring you?

Please post your browsing history so I can see it. Unless you’re trying to hide stuff?

Huh? Did you even read the whole thread? They’re linked above.

They could put a banner in the network settings warning users about these security issues while they get them fixed, that doesn’t require fixing any inherited code. In the GitHub issue linked, there’s at least one upset user because they had no idea this was even a problem.

What about the pwned users of Jellyfin that have unknowingly had security holes for 5 years because Jellyfin doesn’t care enough to even put a banner in their settings to say it’s not secure?

I mean, that’s fine, but it’s still an issue and a risk that would cause me to want to use VPN for remote viewing. It doesn’t seem like security is Jellyfin’s priority at the moment, not that it’s Plex’s either, but it’s not to a place where it’s worth it to switch from a security standpoint, personally.
