This is reassuring. Thank you for the clarification. I’m familiar with affiliate links, so I really should have dug deeper to check if this guy was using one. Their vetting process does seem very loose, but that’s a much more common and understandable oversight (one that I’ve seen a lot of good people/services make).

My understanding is that Vincent Lapierre was a direct partnership, but Proton have already addressed this. Hopefully, his endorsement remains a one-off abberation.

See timestamp 8:26 for Proton banner adds. I don’t speak the language so I can’t tell what’s actually being said, but it has all the aesthetic of an advertisement.

I’m very disappointed in Proton. This level of carelessness has been enough to make me permanently avoid some software/services. I feel like I’m clutching at straws to find a reason I shouldn’t stop using them. Shooting from the hip and sponsoring multiple far right folks should be disqualifying to anybody patronizing them for ethical reasons.

I’m hoping that I have not correctly understood the situation.

I think this is an excellent suggestion. I used Cloudflare tunnels until recently, and it was very effective. However, I stopped because of a minor issue, which I’ll mention in case its a deal breaker for anyone.

Technically, using Cloudflare tunnels for Jellyfin is a ToS violation. You’re only allowed to do so if you have an enterprise account, which is quite expensive.

I heard from a “friend of a friend” that everyday users don’t need to worry about this. Cloudflare are aware of people using tunnels with Jellyfin and they aren’t fussed. The rule is supposedly there to combat large scale piracy.

However, I have heard that cloudflare does decide to start caring if they can use jellyfin use as an extra excuse to kick anybody involved in other ToS violations.

In all likelihood, this won’t be a problem for you. While I used tunnels, they worked perfectly. However, given that you are going to go to the effort of sorting out some level of infrastructure for yourself, its something to keep in mind.

I overestimated the popularity of that quote!

It’s as described elsewhere in the thread. She was an academic with good but incomplete early work, that pivoted hard into the conspiracy world. However because of some almost spooky but incidental similarities to the excellent Naomi Klein, the two were constantly mistaken for one another.

I highly recommend Klein’s book Doppleganger. It’s an analysis of the modern tech/media space that I imagine would very much appeal to the Fediverse user base.

“If the Naomi be Klein/ you’re doing just fine./ If the Naomi be Wolf/ Oh, buddy. Ooooof.”

Jumped a little when I saw the name.
