  • Random requests to my private Jellyfin instance

  • Obsfucation can help stimey scripts. I saw using a non-standard port mentioned.

    You can also setup a reverse proxy to deliver a different, empty site to a different dns entry by default. Use either a completely separate (as opposed to multidomain) cert for each, or a wildcard cert.

    Jellyfin also supports using a custom path, instead of delivering at the root. Your reverse proxy would need to be configured accordingly.

  • Pleasure cruises, golf and tracing the family tree are not that fulfilling

    I agree with this opinion.

    ... you should never retire.

    I'd retire tomorrow if I had the financial security to do so.

  • Are you enjoying Palworld?

    Jump

  • I read it was Pokémon like and wrote it off. I've tried to but never enjoyed Pokémon. I grew up on jrpg's so you'd think that was right up my alley. But I disgress...

    The comments here paint a more complex story. It honestly still doesn't seem like my type of game, but my curiosity is piqued. I'll check it out.

  • Of course! The first step to fixing ignorance is acknowledging it.

  • I'm an American who is reasonably well traveled (though I haven't been to Europe yet) and really wants to be less ignorant about these things than most of my countrymates so I spent a amount of time trying to figure it out before looking at a map and reading the comments. I did not. I guess I'm still that American. But I'll keep trying not to be.

  • I'd like confirmation on this as well, if there's confirmation to be had.

  • Actually had to use this old friend at work the other day

  • For some reason otherwise obsolete setups that live on for a specific purpose please me. But also you can get a USB to serial device on the cheap.

    Edit: Just noticed the community this is in. So I guess... live on niche XP laptop!

  • I feel like I'm missing out by not distro-hopping

    Jump

  • You are. Reformat and install the first hardware compatible distro you find on https://distro.moe/ right now. Don't think too much about it, just do it! /s, probably?

    If checking out a different distro sounds interesting and/or fun then you should. If not, then don't. Whatever way you Linux is the correct way for you.

  • More than one-third of Americans believe Israel is committing genocide, poll shows

    Jump

  • Genocide? That some new brand of energy drink?

  • Thinking about making the big switch – recommend me a distro!

    Jump

  • That's fair. It's good to educate on these things.

  • I knew about Redhat's recent bad behavior, I somehow missed that IBM owns Redhat. So TIL.

    I dropped Fedora in light of recent news but I'm not OP. They can decide for themselves on that. If OP or anyone is interested in learning more, a search for RHEL source paywall will get you there.

  • Stick with your distro and try Gnome. Fedora is pretty high up there on the "just works" category.

  • Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of January 21st

    Jump

  • My time I'd normally use for gaming has gone in to starting to learn FreeCAD, which I guess I could argue is an open world builder game.

  • (Constructively) What is your least favorite distro & why?

    Jump

  • TL;DR: Ubuntu. Because I want choices.

    Ubuntu. And I've felt that way for a long time, so it's not something recentish like snaps.

    I don't want my distro to decide what DE and software I'm using for me. They used to have a minimal iso which gave you, as the name suggests, a very minimal install. But now their minimal image is meant for containerized stuff and if memory serves comes with some extra cruft for that purpose.

    I got annoyed and I left. And every distro I've tried since, even if I didn't stick with it, I liked better.

    To add some constructiveness, as that's just complaining. That can be a good thing, just depends on the user. If they want the crafted experience Ubuntu provides, then it's a good pick. It's just not for me.

  • Reddit API blew up and now I run Linux?

    Jump

  • I wonder if it is notorious?

    Do most Linux users (in this context we'll say people who specifically choose to use Linux and by extension chose a specific distribution) look unfavorably on proprietary software being excluded by default?

    For me, I prefer it so I don't see it that way. But it is also an extra step and an annoyance if you want things to "just work". Which is an understandable position.

    Food for thought, I guess.

  • LFS feels like the next logical step in that progression.

  • Rare footage shows North Korean teens being sentenced in front of hundreds of their peers, getting 12 years of hard labour for watching South Korean videos

    Jump

  • This seems to be an unedited version of that video with sound. I don't speak Korean so I can't validate it against the article, but the bbc has a reputation for being credible so I'm inclined to believe it. https://youtu.be/GcUe4O_53_0

    As for the organization, the only mentions I've found are almost all about this, with one mention of it being a think tank in South Korea, which is weirdly little information.

  • shopping rule theory

  • Working a customer facing job with poor pay and little to no benefits sucks. That's why I do it, for those people, not the business.

  • suburban rule

    Jump

  • I live in the suburbs and am within walking distance of 3 places that sell eggs. Which is an anomaly, because yes this is one of many problems with suburban sprawl.
