All computing devices companies should be required to have sites as detailed as Intel’s ark site and going back in time to the very first product.

Anyone else in this position would do no such thing.

Trump is in this position because he wants to do this AT LARGE SCALE.

He doesn't care about being cruel to a couple of people, it's about getting the precedent and go-ahead to deport millions of people. What happens to this one guy is much less important than the precedent of at the very least being able to deport without due process. Ideally he and his friends would like to be able to deport without courts being able to order them to bring people back after the fact so they can just purge a bunch of people from the country.

It's an instance emoji, Hexbear has tons and tons of them.

They pulled out of the illegal settlements and maybe the greater occupation some years ago and reactionaries were furious.

Interesting project. Thanks for the link and I do appreciate it and could see some very good uses for that but it's not quite what I meant.

Unfortunately as it notes it works as a companion for reverse proxies so it doesn't solve the big hurdle there which is handling secure and working flow (specifically ingress) of Jellyfin traffic into a network as a turn-key solution. All this does is change the authorization mechanism but my users don't have an issue with writing down passwords and emails. Still leaves the burden of:

• choosing and setting up the reverse proxy,
• certificates for that,
• paying for a domain so I can properly use certificates for encryption,
• making sure that works,
• chore of updating the reverse proxy, refreshing certs (and it breaking if we forget or the process fails), etc

Which is a hassle and a half for technically proficient users and the point that most other people would give up.

By contrast with Plex how many steps are there?

1. Install (going to skip media library setup as Jellyfin requires that too so it's assumed)
2. Set up any port settings, open any relevant ports on firewall, enable remote access in setting with a tickbox
3. Set up users
4. Done, it now works and doesn't need to be touched. It will handle connecting clients directly to the server. Users just need to install Plex client, login to their account and they have access.

By contrast this still requires the hoster set up a reverse proxy (major hassle if done securely with certificates as well as an expense for a domain which works out to probably $5 a year), to then have their users point their jellyfin at a domain-name (possibly a hard to remember one as majesticstuffbox[.]xyz is a lot cheaper than the dot com/org/net equivalents or a shorter domain that's more to the point), auth and so on. It's many, many, many more steps and software and configurations and chances for the hosting party to mess something up.

My point was I and many others would rather take the $5 we'd spend a year on a domain name and pay it for this kind of turn-key solution for ourselves and our users even if provided by a third party but that were Jellyfin to integrate this as an option it could provide some revenue for them and get the kinds of people who don't want to mess with reverse proxies and certificates into their ecosystem and off Plex.

Bullshit. Why would you believe it's good faith? Why wouldn't you want rules written down if they're to be enforced? Rules should be spelled out clearly to be fair and transparent.

They may enforce it for a little while, but they can now quietly drop enforcing it and no one will notice because it will be a change documented internally only.

This is a transparent attempt to manage the outrage.

Simplewall.

Here I'm still using the separate search box. Why wouldn't I? Plenty of screen real estate horizontally. Nice to be able to do quick math there though I suppose.

94% of Militia members in the US are foaming at the mouth reactionaries if not open fascists, with many being active or former law enforcement or related to military or intelligence.

There is AFAIK no way to do this.

Apple's never open-sourced the APIs and interfaces and it only works on Macs and Windows. For this you will need to have either a Windows install (recommend separate drive so it doesn't break Linux bootloader) or a persistent or not Windows VM with USB passthrough. I'm not even sure how well the VM situation works but it probably should. You don't even have to have a license for Windows, you can just run it in the VM for this purpose alone but it does mean oh at least 40GB set aside on your drive for the VM image plus more if you want to do things like back-up the phone.

Marx of course understood the dictatorship of capital and the nature of revolution as a violent affair. That Mao quote is abused as a thought-terminating cliche to be honest. He is referring to the fact that if you want to change a system systemically you need tools like guns, if you're going to be a revolutionary, if you're going to fight imperialists, you need guns. If you're going to retain your independence against encroachment and attempts at overthrow by capitalist forces, you need guns. But those are largely affairs of the revolution and external defense. Internally Mao absolutely agreed with Marx on political authority and legitimacy of the party through its connection to the workers, which Mao phrased as the Mass Line. So in this way there would be agreement in a sense with Rousseau's line (and Marx's) here though there was a lot more to it from Rousseau obviously and I'm not trying to say Mao or Marx's thought derives from Rousseau at all.

This cartoon is kind of all over the place. For the first 4 panels it features thinkers, philosophers stating how things -should- be run in their thinking to create a society, not necessarily how things were run in their time but how they should be. Then suddenly in the last two panels it goes from proposals for how to structure society to analysis of how society exists or is seen to exist at a given point in time and how its authority is derived.

Jellyfin needs to partner with someone people can pay a very low and reasonable and/or one-time fee to enable remote streaming without the fuss of setting up either dangerous port-forwarding or the complexity of reverse proxies (paying for a domain-name, the set-up itself including certificates, keeping it updated for security purposes).

And no a VPN is not a solution, the difficulty for non-technical users in setting up a VPN (if it's even possible, on smart-tvs it's almost always not, and I don't think devices like AppleTV and other streaming boxes often support them) is too high and it's an unwanted annoyance even for technical users.

I'm not talking about streaming video's through someone else's servers or using their bandwidth. I'm talking about the connection phase of clients and servers where Plex acts like an enhanced dynamic DNS service with authentication. They have an agent on the local media server which sends to the remote web service of the third party the IP address, the port configured for use, the account or server name, etc. When a client tries to connect they go to this remote web service with the servername/username info, the web service authenticates them then gives them the current IP address and any other information necessary. It then sends some data to the local Jellyfin server about the connecting client to enable that connection and then the local media Jellyfin server and the client talk directly and stream directly.

Importantly the cost of running this authentication and IP address tracking scheme would be minimal per Jellyfin server. You could charge $5/year for up to 20 unique remote clients and come out ahead with a slight profit which could be put back into Jellyfin development and things like their own hosting costs for code, etc. Even better if they offer lifetime for this at $60-$80 they'd get a decent chunk of cash up-front to use for development (with reasonable use restrictions per account so someone hosting stuff in Hetzner or whatever and serving 300 people with 400 devices will need to pay more because they're clearly doing this for profit and can afford to throw some more money at Jellyfin).

Until Jellyfin offers something that JUST WORKS like that it's not going to be a replacement for Plex, whatever other improvements they offer to users it's still a burden for the server runner to set up remote streaming in a way that isn't either incredibly dangerous (port forwarding) OR either involves paying money to third parties AND/OR the trouble of running your own reverse proxy and/or involves walking users through complicated set-up process for each device that you have to repeat if you change anything major like your domain name when using a VPN.
