I have a cheap ZigBee thermostat and some automations to control temp. Works ok, but I'm trying to smarten it up a bit in the next few weeks.

You use more data on one iPhone via cell service than my entire family across 38 devices? Impressive! Though I'm not entirely sure which number you're suggesting is wrong.

Those emails have warned me something was pooched in advance many times. I do find them useful.

Sad to see them go, but nice they mention an alternative.

It's like a computer virus but spread by a human. Everything is becoming a Trump media megaphone. Hate and arguments are now good engagement analytics.

Prepare for a wave of unmoderated enshittification the likes of which has no rival.

Ahhh reminds me of my youth.

Tried to build these in our garage with PVC pipe, a blowtorch (to heat and bend tubes), and a shop vac.

Went about as well as you can imagine, but still had a blast.

1999

I got a cable modem for my birthday that year. Ha!

No speed caps, and I hit a whopping 4Mbps download. It was faster than the local highschool. Sweeeeet.

There are some really efficient systems out there, but power requirements depend a lot on what is run.

A simple website is very different that a photo gallery running content ID for example.

Should I worry?

I've had this stuff in logs since the late 90's. It was concerning at first, but port scanning and scripts are the internet's background static now.

Is this normal internet behaviour?

Yup. Welcome to self hosting!

Should I expect even worse kinds of attacks?

Not that it will happen, but good security expects attacks. I like to say "Obscurity is not security."

What can I do to improve security on my website and try to block these kinds of requests/attacks?

As these scrips are targeting code you don't run, they can be ignored relatively safely.

You can take a couple steps to lock things down like not responding to ping on WAN (less enticing to port scanning) locking down firewall settings, geolocation blocking, authentication, etc.

That said, if the script changed to something you DO host, you may be in for a bad day. Good to stay on top of security patches in that case.

Google reeeeally thrilled at handing over $60,000,000 licensing reddit content for search now.

Lmao.

Not sure I'll answer your question, but I would think the root folder would be /movies so I'd double check those settings. You may have to manually specify /movies/Star wars an another root folder.

If that is all set up right, I believe the *arr apps organize media too. You may have a user/app conflict with your file structure so you'd have to do all that manually.

AI is a plaque upon housing in America.

It's the first thing after the title. At least it wasn't an AI article I suppose.
