Yeah, I can see it now.
I can only assume that the post hadn’t propagated to my server 3 hours ago.

This is how you end up with police making up an “anonymous tip” which allows them to gain a warrant and dig through the personal possessions of anyone they don’t like.

The problem isn’t solve with anonymity, but by actually protecting the whistle blowers.

TOTP is a defined standard, specifically RFC 6238.
But I still have 3 different apps on my phone so that I can get on to various customer VPNS. 🤷‍♂️

Can’t tell if you’re joking, but a Request For Comments is effectively a proposal for how a process should be performed.
Some of them are eventually ratified as internet standards by the IETF.
Plenty of them remain useful as defacto standards even without formal acknowledgement.

We elect “Donald Trumps” all the time.
Clive Palmer.
Craig Kelly.
Barnaby Joyce.
Bob Katter.
Pauline Hanson.
Jacqui Lambie.

They only differ from Trump in degree, not in tactics.
This “article” is a thought bubble, not even a fully fleshed out one.

It isn’t the crimes that Trump is accused of committing that are evil, it’s the lieing, manipulating, etc that got him in position to do it.
The shit that Palmer did to get elected were basically strong arming an entire electorate to support him.
The shit that Hanson has done through funneling electoral funds through friendly advertising companies SHOULD be considered fraud.

Oh, I thought we were talking about “bad people who shouldn’t be anywhere near political levers”, not “egotisitical idiots”.

Sure I read it, but Simon’s premise is incorrect.

Even his tangential commentary is incorrect.
Neither Kevin Rudd or Tony Abbott were booted for making “captains calls”, they were booted as fall guys by their parties before going to election.

Short answer no.
Plex works by having a centralised server run by Plex themselves, that facilitates your client connecting to your server.

The external facing part of Jellyfin server is basically a web server, and it’s a bad idea to expose that to the internet without putting a reverse proxy in front of it (hence the mention of NGINX above).
Another option is to have a VPN connection to where you are running Jellyfin and then only access Jellyfin pseudo locally (so potential security problems aren’t a big concern). This introduces other complications if you want to access it remotely via things like Roku or Chromecast, especially if you have multiple external (and probably not tech savvy) users.

I want to stress that none of this is prohibitively expensive or hard, but doing it involves learning and effort.
All the information and programs you need are available online for free.

If you only wanted to use Jellyfin at home (server in the cupboard, client on the tv), none of this other stuff matters. If you want to access Jellyfin remotely, and the idea of running a reverse proxy or a vpn server with the corresponding exposed ports and domain configuration sounds scary, Jellyfin is probably not for you.

Only Google can make an RCS app

Yes and no.
You don’t need to make your own OS, but you do need to implement support for the RCS protocol within your app, rather than piggyback on Googles APIs.

I don’t like it, but there’s no legal requirement for google to provide those APIs, like they did with SMS etc.

Mountaineer,
@Mountaineer@aussie.zone avatar

You can interoperate with googles RCS.
If you are willing and able to enter a partnership like Samsung, you can do it fully (including encryption support etc).

Google are determined to not make it easy, and I agree with you, it appears to be yet another messaging land grab.

Trying to put myself in their headspace for a moment, one justification for making it hard is to stop thousands of apps coming out declaring “full RCS support!” through the APIs, then screwing the pooch (through poor security or deliberate back doors or or or).
Right now Google are desperately attempting to make RCS happen, after almost a decade of trying and failing to make various carriers play ball.
They do not want any bad press about how feature poor/insecure/slow/buggy it is right now.

I agree, that’s why I said “and able”

"Regardless of what you think of Mr Assange, justice is not being done in this case:" Federal MPs pass motion urging US and UK to allow Julian Assange's return to Australia (www.abc.net.au)

The 52-year-old Assange is wanted in the US for espionage, and faces 18 charges related to the publication of a range of highly classified information relating to the US-led wars in Afghanistan and Iraq....

Mountaineer,
@Mountaineer@aussie.zone avatar

You repeatedly speak of a trial: “he deserves to see trial”, “avoid trial”, “If he wants a trial here”. And his supposed guilt.

Assange is not a US citizen.
At no point during any of this was he in the US.

There are no valid charges to even place against him, and if he was a citizen of a competing country like Russia, China, India etc we’d hear NOTHING about his role in any of this, because those countries governments would tell the US to sod off.

The truth here is that the US is desperate to get access to him so that they can make an example of him, so that others are less likely to share embarrassing US secrets in the future.

The little jabs about “worked with Russians” (ooh, he’s working with the ENEMY) and how “he’s guilty and he knows he’s guilty” (he must be guilty, he’s running!) are some straight up bullshit talking points from the likes of Tucker Carlson.
I mean not Tucker Carlson now (nose up Putins ass), Tucker Carlson then (SOME PEOPLE say that you beat your wife, I’M not saying you beat your wife, BUT a lot of people are saying it, and she had a bruise on her arm the other day. It does make you wonder, doesn’t it?)

The US is reaching when they seek his extradition, and many countries in the world would outright deny the application.
And the basis of an extradition is that the crime was committed in the requesting country, even if it was done so remotely.

Making heroin in the US is illegal.
Hundreds of tons of it are made in Myanmar every year without the US demanding extradition of the producers.
Until someone tries to import that heroin into the US, because THAT’s the crime in the US.

As you point out, Assages only involvement in the crime was encouraging someone else to gather information for him - something journalists do all the time.

Whether or not we like Assange as an individual is beyond the point, there’s a definite “greater good” point to be made here.
War crimes were committed and covered up.
Without wikileaks, that may have never come to light.
Even without punishing the individuals involved, KNOWING that this information might leak out can help prevent these things happening again in future.

Journalists need to be able to publish with protection.
And Assange being personally unlikeable doesn’t change the role he was acting in, no one should get to say “he wasn’t employed by the wall street journal”, or “she doesn’t have a journalistic degree”.
Because a foundation of law in all the countries involved here is that the truth is protected, and Assange published provable facts.

And the US is trying to punish him for doing so.

pihole blocks ads by refusing to return dns results of known ad hosting URLs.

Chromecast ignores your DHCP supplied dns UNLESS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 are inaccesible.

People who’s bothered to do this have added static routes to make all requests on port 53 go to the pihole.

Ending support for Windows 10 could send 240 million computers to the landfill. Why not install Linux on them? (gadgettendency.com)

With support ending for Windows 10, the most popular desktop operating system in the world currently, possibly 240 million pcs may be sent to the landfill. This is mostly due to Windows 11’s exorbitant requirements. This will most likely result in many pcs being immediately outdated, and prone to viruses. GNU/Linux may be...

Windows XP is basically firmware at this point, and has been for over a decade.

Lots of proprietary hardware that works perfectly, will not work on newer versions of Windows due to lack of drivers.

I see it constantly in factory situations with scales, scanners and robot controllers, it would only be worse for million dollar x-ray machines.

The Jellyfin community here is !jellyfin

The official forum is at forum.jellyfin.org

What you’ve got seems to be a truenas specific docker problem.

When you spin up Jellyfin docker, you normally specify a config volume and a data volume, so that as you upgrade, the users and watched lists etc are maintained.
You should be able to save those directories, delete the broken Jellyfin docker instance, and then recreate it pointing at the old volumes.
That way it would bind to the valid IP, but have the old configs and data.

At the command line I could help, but I don’t know anything about Truenas sorry.

Dealing with a government welfare system for the first time in a while.

Last time there were still people you’d talk to who’d smooth over the process.

Now it’s all online and automated.

And holy fucking hellscape Batman.

They’ve just shipped the whole bureaucracy along with their own software bugs.

And as the welfare seeker you have to navigate all of the details and jargon (and bugs/broken links) without any assurance that anything is ok, hoping the money comes.

Lithium just sits there and burns.
It gets hot.
It’s hard to put out.
It re-ignites.

Unlike petrol, it doesn’t explode under certain conditions.
