that’s really good to know! thanks

they could ask the teacher, sure, but why not fix the problem instead of using a disruptive workaround until the end of time? phrased another way, should we as a society fix problems or provide half solutions that don’t fully resolve them?

As someone who’s been wanting to test (and maybe move to Podman) in the future but hasn’t really spent any time on it, what features have Red hat removed from Podman?

I’m having a similar issue lately with an AndroidTV beta (Nvidia Shield) and a Chromecast device. I wonder if its related? I unfortunately haven’t had time to look into it and just use VLC as an external player. I’ve noticed that some videos will play back with the built-in player but others will not.

EDIT: I noticed “Cinema mode” was enabled which is supposed to “Play available intros and previews before starting a movie”, but I don’t have any intros or previews. I disabled the setting and my videos are working again! Not sure why it got enabled. But if you have this on, maybe try toggling it.

EDIT2: Just saw you fixed your issue below - I’ll leave mine up in case anyone else runs into a similar problem.

Germany, there’s a time and place for everything. This is like supporting a "sovereign citizen’s " right to freedom during a murderous rampage. It’s giving “blue lives matter” during George Floyd’s murder.

Offline/internal network installs can be handled with flatpak create-usb - https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/usb-drives.html

One can distribute flatpaks along with their dependencies on USB drives (or network shares, etc.) which is especially helpful in situations where Internet access is limited or non-existent.

Cache/mirroring would be great for those who need it.

Edit:

Thinking about it, I wonder if there’s enough “core features” with ‘create-usb’ that its just matter of scripting something together to intercept requests, auto-create-usb what’s being requested and then serve the package locally? If a whole mirror is required, it may be possible to iterate over all flathub packages and ‘create-usb’ the entire repo to have a local cache/mirror? Just thinking “out loud”.

Restart jellyfin and take a look at the logs? There may be some useful info there pointing to the issue. Go to your ‘dashboard’ then click ‘Logs’ - look through that see if anything stands out. If that doesn’t work you may need to enable debug logging: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/administration/troubleshooting/

Serious question, because I get a similar “TIL” on my mastodon thread and saw this and had a similar thought - would you prefer to see no “TIL” content posted by bots? I don’t have any stake, but they do provide 3 benefits that I personally enjoy, as much as I’d prefer it was “organically” generated content:

1. Some posts are insightful, others I can just ignore/move on.
2. It provides a way to interact with the broader “fediverse” community about certain topics.
3. Helps avoid visiting sites like Reddit by virtue of having less content here and looking elsewhere.

More on topic - here’s a pic of the couple, for anyone interested:

100% agree. Would be nice to be able to just “dock” into a USB-C cable and have a working “PC” at my disposal. Appreciate the response.

genuine question, what do you expect out of a mobile OS that you can’t do now?

Correct me if I’m wrong but does FOSS not simply mean the following?

software that is available under a license that grants the right to use, modify, and distribute the software, modified or not, to everyone free of charge

source: Wikipedia

From my understanding AOSP’s license grants all those rights. I think what you might be opposed to is that it isn’t developed out in the open, which is a fair criticism.

You can limit how much RAM is available to each one, so one app doesn’t eat all of your RAM. Same with CPU.

This can be done with containers and you don’t get the overhead of virtualizing a whole operating system for every service/app you might be hosting.

Virtual Machines can be backed up, uploaded to remote storage, and restored.

This can also be done with containers in a more elegant way as there’s no need to back up any VM/OS data.

E.g. I have a docker compose file that can nearly immediately stand up a container with the right settings/image, point it to my restored data and be up and running in no time. The best part is i don’t need to back up the container/OS because that data is irrelevant.

When it’s time to do a big update on your main machine (either changing OS or getting new hardware), restoring VM’s is super simple compared to the alternative.

With the alternative you just restore your data and run docker-compose up -d. Docker will handle the process of building, starting and managing the service.

Simple example: Your minecraft server died but you have backups. You just restore the data to /docker/minecraft. Then (to keep things really simple) you just run:

docker run -d -p 25565:25565 --name minecraft -e EULA=TRUE -v /docker/minecraft:/data itzg/minecraft-server

and in a few minutes your server is ready to go.

your attitude/personality is ugly. do better.

out of the loop since I’ve moved to debian and been using flatpak for the last few years, what software are you installing via PPA that isn’t generally available via flatpak?

This link goes straight to the video and skips the website for anyone wanting to avoid it.

Yeah, its available to close family. There’s a few guides out there on how to set up external access. Might be a bit difficult if you’re not familiar with the technical stuff, but you should give it a go anyways if you’ve got some time to spend.

Ooh silverbullet looks nice too, thanks. Link for the lazy: https://silverbullet.md/
