Anduril’s autonomous surveillance towers have been used on the U.S.–Mexico border to detect and track migrants, as part of DHS programs. This has drawn criticism from immigrant rights groups and academics who argue such systems dehumanize migrants and enable policies that align with authoritarian nationalism.

Anduril is privately funded (by VC firms like Founders Fund) but markets and sells directly to governments and military agencies, without the typical government R&D cycle. It builds weapons and surveillance systems first, then offers them to the state. This “build first, ask later” model can lead to unchecked corporate influence over the military-industrial complex, which some critics argue is a step toward a techno-authoritarian fascist regime.

Anduril founder Palmer Luckey was ousted from Oculus after it was revealed he funded a pro-Trump meme organization (Nimble America) known for spreading far-right content during the 2016 election. While this doesn’t make the company fascist, it raises concerns for critics about the political leanings of its leadership and how those ideologies could influence product deployment.

Anduril is deeply involved in developing autonomous weapon systems, like the ALTIUS-600M loitering munition. Critics warn that the use of AI to identify and kill targets without human input could lead to violations of international law and facilitate mass violence or authoritarian control. Anduril’s heavy investment in such systems leads some to see it as advancing a dystopian militarized fascist future.

Still if Im going to give my time I will go copyleft.

Also NEVER accept a Contributor Agreement License (CAL)
Which allows the devs to also publish a dual licensed or closed source version.

They want you to use Oracle ZFS instead, they have a lot of money riding on this.

When I last tried to setup openwrt+iPXE I kept ending up on their forum but I don’t get what are they actually for ? Is that just a netbootable disk imaging thing ? Live OS netbooting ? Installer netbooting ?

Is it like iVentoy the non-open source netbootable version of ventoy ?

Are these options going to require installation of specialist software and then entering of special configuration parameters on the client computer as rather than just using any standard browser on any internet connected computer and typing yourjellyfindomainname.com ?

You have to port forward a port and setup dynamic dns, for 99% this is a insurmountable difficulty.

The person doing screensharing runs sunshine.exe
they tell their hostname from the watcher, example.com the watcher runs

if not paired already Moonlight.exe pair example.lan — > (then a number appears, they tell the number to screensharer, who then types this number in https://localhost:47990/pin )

once paired (pairing key exchange is permanent until manually revoked by default) the watcher runs Moonlight.exe --display-mode windowed --absolute-mouse --resolution 1920x1080 stream example.lan desktop

A screen appears on their device, showing the other device, the latency and quality are excellent, you can watch youtube videos, play doom, it’s almost like it’s your own computer, you can fullscreen the window if you want.

Me and my friends, we use an extra computer with sunshine on it. We all connect at the same time to this extra computer and share it, show stuff to each other. It works really great

As for connectivity, there is no STUN/TURN coordination, either you open a port forward on your router or you use a VPN like zero tier, tailscale, hamachi, softether etc…

Here is the latest moonlight client

https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-qt/releases/download/v6.1.0/MoonlightSetup-6.1.0.exe
https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-qt/releases/download/v6.1.0/MoonlightPortable-x64-6.1.0.zip

And here is the latest sunshine server

https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine/releases/download/v2025.924.154138/Sunshine-Windows-AMD64-installer.exe
https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine/releases/download/v2025.924.154138/Sunshine-Windows-AMD64-portable.zip

I use sunshine/moonlight there is nothing as good as that.

Both the server and client run in portable mode

By default it will fullscreen and use relative mouse but use this command line to one-click start moonlight

Moonlight.exe --display-mode windowed --absolute-mouse --resolution 1920x1080 stream yourserver.lan desktop

Only little hiccup, the client need to pair with server before connecting, the client will give you a number and you type it in the sunshine management interface

Check out zoneminder, it’s the defacto open cctv server.

As for anything that offers a service for external access, that’s just setting up dynamic dns and setting up one port forward, I don’t understand why so many people struggle with that that they pay a third party a monthly fee to do it for them.

I got two of those for 100$ USD for the purpose of hosting openwrt in proxmox LXC containers. One thing I noticed is they have no cooling. I put a 10 GBe mellanox card in it plus a very low end radeon gpu and it gets quite hot in there. My recommendation, instead of trying to embiggen it as much as possible, by putting 2 more sticks of ram and the biggest cpu, I would recommend just buying another. The performance boost per dollar isn’t as much as the performance capacity of a second, third or 4th machine.

I understand the concerns about blobbification of all these system into a technical monolith that you have to swallow whole or not at all, that you can’t really break down into it’s individual components. So if the thing you need isn’t in there, you have to chuck the entire systemd thing and switch back to SysV

However, I quite like systemd so far… except for having dozens of processes, that’s not super chill to have so much stuff I don’t use running but OK, convenient.

At least it’s not like Wayland, that we have been forced into while it was barely working, and still today it’s only kinda working with lot lot lots of non-working stuff and mega jank stuff while now X11 is rotting and dying. So we’re stuck with half-dead half-lobotomized graphics system… I hope they eventually get their shit together and I wish they would have made wayland working before killing X11.

I have a G3 and, this might be counter intuitive, but buy an older model that uses DDR3 ram, old ram like that is obsolete and no one wants it, but more ram is more important in self-hosting than fast ram. Of course that limits how much you can do at once, but if you only have 8gb of ram instead of 32 or 64, the lack of ram is going to be very limiting in the sense that you’ll have to run very few things at one time and that becomes cumbersome to manage services “on demand”, starting them and shutting them down to save on ram, instead of letting them all be ready and idle.

I had something similar when I used XMBC (I think it’s called kody now) and it seems it was because there was some confusion with the scrapper to imdb and it needed some manual override file. You had to create a .nfo file or something like that, that told the scrapper the right imdb number or other exact identifier for it. I wouldn’t be surprised if the people at plex have some way to know of all the custom fixes people do and with that, when you have some issue recognizing some content, they can figure out what most people do.

I would be surprised if jellyfin has any way to to know what the users are doing so that wouldn’t work

What do you mean with glitching UI ? Is it more than just not responding while scanning ?

I haven’t installed jellyfin, I’m never installing plex, I would just use samba shares over vpn instead of that.
I wanted to know what’s the problem with jellyfin ?
Is it more than the weekend-destroying linux-jankiness ?
Because I can deal with that

What are the 3 biggest shortcomings of Jellyfin ?

That could be a very interesting feature for a reverse proxy to have, wake-on-lan-on-demand, I guess it could show the server’s ping status with a “please wait server is starting” image and a countdown to the next retry / how long it usually takes to wake up.

I found something similar called WOL proxy

I get what you mean, I only use L3 top-of-rack data center switches, what a bunch of amateur peasants !

You can do data scrubbing with PAR2 or filesystem level with btrfs on top of LVM (or even in a traditionnal partition)

I think you can ram cache with bcachefs or a ramdrive, and unless you’re in a VM then your file system driver would already do file caching in ram ?

Well, it taints the kernel, probably runs some background processes, it should be removable ?
