Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Security reminder! Don't open your Squeezebox up to the internet.
Having looked for myself, I was incredibly shocked as to how widespread the problem is. I couldn't really believe people would do that. Blame iPeng's popularity... many use iPeng to stream from their home while on the road, at the office etc. And from the feedback I've had so far many still thought opening ports was _required_. Often one would have said "you need to open port 9000 on your server's firewall to make it accessible for the players" and users went and opened port 9000 on their routers. -- Michael ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

If you access the map directly can it be zoomed? From your post I don't see anything at the Great Salt Lake. Salt Lake City is just east of what shows as the white salt flats in the western USA.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Interesting map of Squeezebox users
You've worked it out, but it's a sample based on instances that are openly visable to the web at the moment (so assuming a guesstimate that 1% are open, then each dot would represent 100 players?). What service have you been using? Shodan's maps look less detailed (at least those I've seen). -- Michael ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

I couldn't really believe people would do that. I naively thought the level of knowledge required to open relevant router ports would consequently limit it to people who know not to do it in the first place! s2kiwi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=63950 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107862 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Security reminder! Don't open your Squeezebox up to the internet.
I was doing some basic checking on the security of my own system and I was completely shocked to see how many people have opened their squeezebox web front end to the internet. Oh...

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Security reminder! Don't open your Squeezebox up to the internet.
Hi all, I was doing some basic checking on the security of my own system and I was completely shocked to see how many people have opened their squeezebox web front end to the internet. If this is you, please turn this off ASAP. This is a major security hole (at a minimum I'm sure you wouldn't appreciate someone turning your system on full volume at 3am). -(and it you think people aren't really doing this, then 'here's the scale of it' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?107861-interesting-map-of-squeezebox-users) - a lot of those are controllable by anyone on the web!)- s2kiwi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=63950 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107862 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Performance using network drive for music storage? (LMS running in virtual machine)
Many thanks for all the feedback. I think I'll try Jeff07971's suggestion first and try a VMFS datastore first (I can't remember why I chose RDM in the first place). At least I know I have the network storage option as an acceptable alternative if the disk gets corrupted again - subject to the caveat about scan times, of course. itm's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17437 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107853 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Performance using network drive for music storage? (LMS running in virtual machine)
As a network drive it makes zero difference to performance during operation only during scan. Whether that scan is fast enough for you is something only you can answer.. it won't change much as likely the drive itself and the IOPs it supports is the limiting factor. -Transcoded from Matt's brain by Tapatalk- -- Hardware: 3x Touch, 1x Radio, 2x Receivers, 1 HP Microserver NAS with Debian+LMS 7.9.0 Music: ~1300 CDs, as 450 GB of 16/44k FLACs.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Why Flash in LMS?
Would this happen with the main web UI? Or only within settings, or some specific plugin? It is on the main web UI, thanks. I checked the code again. Flash should _not_ be loaded in the normal web UI unless you enabled debugging in the skin (which I myself wouldn't even know any more how to do). The main UI uses a stripped down build of the ExtJS framework. Stripped down for performance reasons. Flash seems to be used in some charting module which we don't use. But only the Settings pages should even load that code (it just loads the full framework). -- Michael ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
