I recall a number of prominent users on lemmy proclaiming that this would not, could not happen within the past few years. And yet here we are, the acceptance stage from the financial elites. No grand resistance, no big push by retailers or wall street to crush Trump into obedience. Not even attempts at doom-saying that this will entirely destroy the economy just kind of passive acceptance and a shrug that it'll hurt but oh well. I guess we'll have cold war 2.0 after all with separate blocs and more horrible proxy wars instigated by the west.

It may seem petty of me but I'm just a working person and I don't look forward to price increases I can't afford of 250% on random things I need. I buy so many things that are made in China from kitchen tools to electronics to parts to repair appliances because it's cheaper than throwing away or a repair-person (not anymore I guess). This is going to hurt me and other people badly. I also worry what it means for the ability of the US to launch a war on China.

Yes, absolutely. And they can drag Canonical into it as well if they wish though it's harder. Being UK based doesn't protect them from the long arm of US law including arresting any US personnel, freezing and seizing their funds, putting out arrest warrants for and harassing those in the UK with the fear of arrest and rendition to the US if they go to a third country (for a conference, vacation, etc, most would buckle rather than live under that). Additionally the US could sanction them for non-cooperation by making it illegal for US companies to sell them products and services, for US citizens to work for or aid them, etc.

They can go after community led projects too, just send the feds over to the houses of some senior US developers and threaten and intimidate them, intimate their imminent arrest and prison sentence unless they stop contact and work with parties from whatever countries the US wishes to choose to name. Raid their houses, seize their electronics, detain them for hours in poor conditions. Lots of ways to apply pressure that doesn't even have to stand up to extensive legal scrutiny (they can keep devices and things and the people would have to sue to get them back).

The code itself is likely to exist in multiple places so if someone wanted to fork from say next week's builds for an EU build they could and there would be little the US could do to stop that but they could stop cooperation and force these developers to apply technical measures to attempt to prevent downloads from IP addresses known to belong to sanctioned countries of their choosing.

It's not like the US can slam the door and take its Linux home and China and the EU and Russia are left with nothing, they'd still have old builds and code and could develop off of those though with broken international cooperation it would be a fragmented process prone to various teething issues.

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.
