I run a jellyfin server and give access to about 10 friends. I just kicked everyone out and the new rule is, that I will only stream to linux devices.

So there will be a few streaming boxes at friends places and I thought this could be a nice opportunity.

**Some ideas I’ve had: **

  • distributed backups
  • botnet (I always thought about playing around with a smal botnet on socials to do some fun experiment)

If anybody has cool ideas, please share : )

Edit: Everything runs on tailscale

    Sometimes I wish I were like OP, being creatively greedy to snitch lots of money. Then I realize, that requires money and influence to work out… Life.

    You know how people don’t like paying for streaming services because they have enshittified and grown more expensive?

    Yeah, you’re just doing that for your own self hosted service.

    Are you friends okay with you doing that? I would not be, especially if my so-called friend didn’t disclose the secondary operations of the device that’s in my home, on my internet connection, under my name.
