This dude was surprised that a celeron - from 8 years ago - can have trouble with BR-rip transcodubg on the fly, and didn’t bother to look for a solution like, oh I don’t know, having plex transcode it at rest and save a copy (it’s lazy but takes 60 seconds to set up). Then we find that the guy gets hit with ransomware, which is a bit sus because it (probably) means default ports, obviously accessible to the wan, with little/no security hardening; then we find that he doesn’t have any backups at all (raid is not a backup plan, fucks sake) and so he goes all 12-gauge shotgun on this custom box to the tune of 3k.
Dude knows just enough to get himself into trouble, but no idea how he got in trouble or methods for avoiding it.
