  • Yeah I don't expose Jellyfin over the Internet, so it doesn't matter for me, and wouldn't work at all over WAN (unless VPN'd to home network).

    Also, it's all reverse proxied, and there's nothing preventing having two Jellyfin hostnames, e.g., jf-local.mydomain.com and jf-public.mydomain.com.

  • Another fun trick you can play is to use a private IP on your public DNS records. This is useful for Jellyfin on Chromecast for instance --- it uses 8.8.8.8 for DNS lookup (and ignores your router settings), so it wants a fully qualified domain name. But it has no problem accessing local hosts, so long as it's from 8.8.8.8's record.

  • I have an energy monitor and Home Assistant --- it's pretty neat, and I can verify that the energy usage is essentially the same on both. Helps to pinpoint electricity drains, as I can tell what breaker is using the juice (the smart plugs are also helpful here).

    I went with the Emporia Vue2 which unfortunately requires some tinkering to get it to run local-only, but once I set that up it's been a dream. Too bad they don't offer it out of the box configured for local use...

  • I have set up local DNS entries (with Pi-Hole) to point to my srrver, but I don't know if it possible to get certs for that, since it is not a real domain.

    So long as your certs are for your fully qualified domain there's no problem. I do this, as do many people --- mydoman.com is fully qualified, but on my own network I override the DNS to the local address. Not a problem at all --- DNS is tied to the hostname, not the IP.

  • Reminds me of that West Wing episode where he "accidentally" makes an offensive gun analogy comment; Harris doesn't really alienate any supporters here, and she appeals to the undecided gun crowd voters. As a bonus, she's "telling it like it is" for folks who are self-described as being "fed up with PC culture."

  • There's a bifurcation in US healthcare, which is pretty well known --- on the one hand, it's a great system if you have top notch insurance and live in a good state for healthcare (looking at you, blue states). On the other hand, well...sucks to be you if you're in the other category I guess.

    If I needed major exotic medical care, I would absolutely pick the US: if you want top notch neuro, cardio, oncology, whatever, the US is right up there. The problem is that only helps a small fraction of people --- the union of people who have these conditions, and people who can afford the care.

  • TV show, not movie, but no, definitely not saying we should ban anything.

    Given that the series handled his transition fairly head on, pretty sure no one wants to destroy the older seasons.

    My only question was that this meme is directly referring to the top character as a woman. Most times I see this meme it doesn't have any references to gender ("morning shift going to work at 6am / night shift coming home at 6am," or something like that).

  • The only flaw in Corel's logic was that as soon as you're running Linux, you lose all desire to run WordPerfect, and develop an irresistible need to align yourself with vim or emacs...

  • this was always bound to happen as we expand our presence in space.

    Yes and no --- from a different article:

    Radiation associated with Starlink satellites was detected at observing frequencies between 110 and 188 MHz, which is well below the 10.7- 12.7 GHz radio frequencies used for the downlink communication signals.

    (The original article said 5M radiation, which should be around 60MHz.)

    So Starlink is emitting RF in spectrum where they shouldn't, which is avoidable, but takes effort.

    My guess, and I could be wrong, is that this could be related to something other than the radio(s), such as switching power supplies finding opportunistic structures from which to radiate.

  • ...and I don't see it motivating people to go vote.

    But it can do the opposite perhaps --- "motivate" people to stay home who would otherwise vote R. Not that, in general, we should be celebrating voter apathy, but I think that some of these endorsements could dishearten folks enough that they end up abstaining.
