I regret to inform everyone that my copy of QBittorrent escaped its sandbox last night and downloaded a whole bunch of content owned by major corporations, and then my copy of Jellyfin broke containment and added those unfortunately-downloaded media files to its various libraries. I'm conducting an internal investigation to figure out how this happened, which will involve consuming these media files until the answers become apparent. Thank you for your cooperation during this trying time.

Are you looking for investers?

    Great incident response! Don't forget, you're not alone! Have you considered using any other resources? For instance, a bag of potato chips can greatly improve efficiency during the intital analysis of the media. If you have the funds, a bottle of beer can sometimes sharpen one's analytic faculties, I hear.

    Dear akunophana,

    Hope you are well,

    I would like to add that popcorn is essential to the incident response process. Neglecting it could cause unmitigated damage to the investigation.

    Sincerely

    Dear themachinestops

    I have received Your message and I must say, it is an honor to have one's ideas be given this much thought and deliberation!

    I have reviewed Your claims regarding puffed corn kernels. While I do see the initial benefits that they bring to the investigation, such as approaching the matter from a greater variety of angles, I must respectfully voice my protest against incorporating these "popcorns" into the process at hand. The main reason being that there simply is no way to efficiently interface each and every popcorn with the condiments - such as hot holiday dip sauce - without which I do not see how the media in question could be analyzed, let alone consumed for recreation if that was ever the purpose.

    Let us keep an open line of communication!

    Sincerely

    Dear Akunohana,

    Thank you for the prompt response,

    These types of investigations typically takes time and resources to complete, thus it involves a variety of tool sets. I believe that even if there is no way to interfere the popcorns with the condiments that the popcorn will be required at a later time. Hypothetically after completing the investigation partially using the chips and the dip, the forensic Investigator would need a new tool for the remainder of the incident investigation that is were the popcorn comes in. Additionally if the investigation requires additional hands, the popcorn would be indispensable.

    Kind Regards.

    As long as it doesn't hack my Kodai. This super intelligent being has been faithfully serving me the best music, videos, and games. I'm so grateful for my best and smartest friend. \s

    Just feed it to an AI, that makes it OK. I think having a local speech model on your phone in the same room with you while watching should be sufficient.

    I have this new AI tool. Free and open source, model and all, and extremely CPU-efficient. Basically you feed it the training data (like some New York Times articles, but it can be any text or binary), and it can produce a 1:1 output when prompted. I call it "copi"; can I get my five trillion tax dollars now?

    I mean it’s OK - you’re not copying it, you’re using it to train an intelligence.

    Yes, my own personal human intelligence. I promise training it will bring value to me and the community.

    It's just a copy. The original still exists somewhere. That's not stealing.

    Reverse Sony logic.

    Warning! ⚠️ do not consume!

    See the real loophole is that I have de-registered myself as a conscious observer. In the eyes of the government, I have never seen a movie, or watched a TV show, or listened to an album.

    The Jellyfin instance, which normally just plays Ubuntu and other distro ISOs, of course.

    I hope this is not against rules 4 and 6, but... I fear it might be?

    If you want me to remove the post just tell me (or report it to the mods, of course).

    I'm only sharing this because I found it very funny :)

    It's too advanced to be released

    Does that person explain what exactly they mean by "breaking confinement" resp "escaping sandboxing" and how it happened?

    edit: I clicked the link now and there is no explanation. I'm not sure they're even serious. I think this is some kind of netizen dada.

    end-users are rarely prosecuted or sued over piracy so idk why corporations wouldn't get the same deal.

    this is a big nothingburger if you wanna be honest.

    piracy is much like drugs, where the occasional dealer gets nabbed if they're too ostentatious but otherwise things just go on and on and on and on.

    Because corporations aren't pirating for personzl consumption, they are pirating to ingest huge amounts of data for commercial use.

    I would be okay with it if it was all leading to a post-money society and it allowed art and trchnooogy to be created for whomever to access. But it ain't, someone else is just getting rich off it.

    That wasn't always true. The RIAA sued many people over music downloads (via bittorent since they're technically hosting at the same time as downloading). They only stopped once the major studios figured out it would cost less to force the ISPs to do it for them.

    I remember a time when the gaming community's darling, CDPR, sent lawyers to people's homes, demanding they pay because they pirated The Witcher 2.

    I don't know how times have changes, but it definitely happened depending on when and where you lived.
