I'll copy the whole announcement here for those who don't want to click:

I regret to inform everyone that my copy of QBittorrent escaped its sandbox last night and downloaded a whole bunch of content owned by major corporations, and then my copy of Jellyfin broke containment and added those unfortunately-downloaded media files to its various libraries. I'm conducting an internal investigation to figure out how this happened, which will involve consuming these media files until the answers become apparent. Thank you for your cooperation during this trying time.

Just feed it to an AI, that makes it OK. I think having a local speech model on your phone in the same room with you while watching should be sufficient.

I have this new AI tool. Free and open source, model and all, and extremely CPU-efficient. Basically you feed it the training data (like some New York Times articles, but it can be any text or binary), and it can produce a 1:1 output when prompted. I call it "copi"; can I get my five trillion tax dollars now?

This new tool is very efficient as you can use it on your own phone, even with a small amount of RAM. It's called VLC, you train it in real time with "open-source FLAC or Opus files" and you get instant results.

The Jellyfin instance, which normally just plays Ubuntu and other distro ISOs, of course.

DVD/Blu-Ray rips are legal in some countries if you don't distribute them

You can also have open-source songs like the GNU/hackers one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sJUDx7iEJw

There is only one song though.

I hope this is not against rules 4 and 6, but... I fear it might be?

If you want me to remove the post just tell me (or report it to the mods, of course).

I'm only sharing this because I found it very funny :)

It is fun of course, or people don't have a sense of humor.
