Snapshots and the contextual information derived from them are saved and encrypted to your local hard drive. Recall does not share snapshots or associated data with Microsoft or third parties, nor is it shared between different Windows users on the same device. Windows will ask for your permission before saving snapshots. You are always in control of what apps and websites get saved in snapshots, and you can delete snapshots, pause or turn them off at any time. Any future options for the user to share data will require fully informed explicit action by the user.

Considering the thread we’re talking in, it’s up to you if you trust MS to implement this well, but they are not uploading the screenshots to the cloud.

Personally I think the idea of Recall is great if it works to help you and only you. The problem isn’t the idea, it’s the trust. If a reputable open source project or Linux distro made a feature like this I think it would be cool, because I know my privacy is going to be respected and the feature is designed solely to help me and nothing more. However, when MS suggests this I’m immediately cautious, skeptical, and concerned about how it could be used against me.

I’m still not seeing how this solves the issue. You either use Cloudflare or your reverse proxy as the auth, which is secure but then people can only use your Jellyfin server through a web browser, or you publish actual Jellyfin and use its auth, but now you rely on its poor security.

Are you saying you integrate fail to ban with Jellyfin’s auth? If so that’s alright, but won’t stop anyone from using an exploit, just brute force attacks. I’m still also not sure why the VPS is required at all.

Wait, Jellyfin doesn’t have per user watch lists? Forget making it externally available to other people, this is something I need within my own household. I haven’t installed Jellyfin yet, but I had not anticipated this feature being absent. How do you work around it?

It does. People often throw this out there as if it fits all situations, but it doesn’t. Plex is handling the proxying for you which is what makes it so easy.

A better comparison, if running your own reverse proxy was too complicated, would be to use something like Cloudflare Tunnels. However that’s still extra steps, they dont want you media streaming on their free plan, and you still have the issue of Jellyfin not being the most secure code that you really want to open up to the whole internet. That’s why a one size fits all answer is difficult.

Ah, understood. I thought you were talking about the hardware.

Sorry, what about it isn’t the same? Is the pixel not using DPAlt mode do handle external montors/docks?

I just realized I’ve been down voting you every time I come across you because of that stupid “þ”, and I’m not going to stop.

I didn’t consider myself a petty person until today, but it’s hard to argue with the facts.

Used to be. Have you seen SSD prices recently? 1TB is now ~$250 CAD.

I get where you’re coming from, but we as a society haven’t even TRIED to hold billionaires accountable. Do they make it difficult? Of course they do, but a huge percentage of the population still look up to the ultra rich and think they’re geniuses who deserve it.

If society ACTUALLY got fed up and demanded they be held accountable, and jail and seizing their assets wasn’t enough, then you consider more severe forms of punishment. As it stands right now we’re barely handing out the equivalent of an occasional speeding ticket to these people and wondering why it isn’t effective.

Wow! This one wasn’t on my radar. I had been using Action Launcher as it seemed to be the only other one that could do the swipe folders, but it seems to have been abandoned. I’ll give this a go.
