And it’s more of a video format than an image format, lots of juicy attack surface

I was being a bit loose. You can video record people in public – just not audio. Any audio on your video recording device makes it illegal.

There are 13 US states like this

Where I live, recording someone without their consent – even in public – is a crime.

I have personally argued both sides on this. Over time I have come to favor it.

EDIT: some background

TBH I chose Funkwhale for my solution because it looked easy and out of the box, I just add a single Docker and subdomain to my existing site.

It wound up being more or less what you describe.

I may well follow OP’s guide and nuke my Funkwhale despite the work I put into it and the fact that it does basically work for its intended purpose

Question: did you consider Funkwhale , and if so why did you choose this other stack instead?

EDIT: fix link sry

Perplexity prompt: “quotes from openai about safety testing for gpt-oss”

Reply below:

Safety Testing Measures

• OpenAI’s safety process for open-weight release included technical audits (robustness, bias detection), structured adversarial testing, and evaluation of prompt-injection and jailbreak vulnerabilities.
• The organization also employed both automated and human review to test for outputs that could cause harm, leveraging cross-disciplinary teams including outside researchers, ethicists, and cybersecurity experts.
• Feedback from these rounds led to incremental model improvements before the open weights went public.

Transparency and External Collaboration

• OpenAI has collaborated with third-party security and ethics researchers to validate its safety protocols and stress-test new models prior to release.
• The company acknowledges that “Releasing open weights is a significant responsibility due to risks of misuse. We want to be transparent about our process and invite the AI community to help report and address issues that may arise post-release.”
