Me. Or I did back when I used it. Now I’m on Jellyfin but the point is the same.
I share my Plex/Jellyfin with a couple dozen friends and family members, all of varying levels of technical knowledge. “Install an app called Jellyfin on your smart TV” is complicated enough for most people. “Also search for another app called Tailscale and now log in with my credentials, yes it’s going to ask for control over your device’s network acces, don’t worry, it’s fine!” So now it’s just a public URL served up with Caddy.
Nothing bad has happened yet, there’s not much valuable on this machine other than CPU cycles and movies I definitely obtained legally, and I would notice right away if a cryptominer jacked up the CPU to 100%.
