  • Hmm, have you made any changes to the firewall on the system hosting the Docker container?

    You might need to edit the firewall with a something like this:

    sudo ufw allow from 192.168.1.0/24 to any port 8096

    Are you using docker-compose to run the Jellyfin service? If so, you might need to add something like this to the docker-compose.yml file:

    network_mode: 'host'
    extra_hosts:
          - "host.docker.internal:host-gateway"
    

    I’m no expert at Docker or UFW, but these are part of my Jellyfin setup, which I’m running on Ubuntu LTS in a Docker container.




  • That sucks to hear.

    Their ransom demands were dramatically weakened by the fact that they did not have access to any compromising data. It was also clear that they believed ARRL had extensive insurance coverage that would cover a multi-million-dollar ransom payment. After days of tense negotiation and brinkmanship, ARRL agreed to pay a $1 million ransom. That payment, along with the cost of restoration, has been largely covered by our insurance policy.

    Glad the threat actors didn’t get the payout they were hoping for.


  • I’ve had this same experience on Linux Mint. I’ll run apt update & apt upgrade and, occasionally, if Firefox is one of the things being updated, new tabs and new pages won’t load and will tell me I need to do a system restart to continue browsing.

    I always update manually, so it never happens without me initiating the update first. But sometimes I’m like, “Dangit, didn’t realize this update would require a restart to keep using Firefox.”



  • let’s be real, youtube is a big waste of time

    I see people say this a lot, especially on the fediverse, and it makes me wonder why people think youtube is a “waste of time” when youtube’s uses are what the user makes of it.

    I primarily use youtube for learning things. There are so many thousands of hours of useful, educational content on youtube that I find the suggestion that the entire platform is useless clickbait to be reductive and disingenuous.

    Sure, there are channels I watch for typical mind-numbing content like Let’s Plays and such, but I wouldn’t suggest that youtube is wholly a waste of time just because there’s plenty of mindless content on it.

    Just like Reddit or Lemmy, I can create an account and subscribe to a bunch of dumb shitposting communities, but I can also subscribe to a bunch of interesting hobbyist/intrigue communities.


  • I’m no legal expert; I assume support can be either offered or completely avoided depending on the shop owner’s preference. Most Linux distributions come with a “this software is free (as in freedom) and comes with no warranty or guaranteed functionality” disclaimer.

    If I wanted to engage more with my clients and build more trust, I might offer some degree of troubleshooting/support for the Linux machines I sold. But I don’t think I’d be under any legal obligation to offer that service just for selling the laptops.

    Whether or not the computer shop offers support might affect whether or not a customer wants to shop at my store. Maybe I can sell my laptops cheaper if I don’t offer support, or maybe my laptops cost a bit more because I do offer aftermarket support.


  • how can Linux be a moderated product to sell for desktop

    It kinda depends on each individuals’ use case; there’s lots of different Linux distributions that are better (or worse) for specific workloads.

    Any given laptop I’m staring at in a store will probably work perfectly fine as a general-use machine with Linux Mint installed. This is my go-to distro when repurposing a machine because it works great out of the box. If I were running a computer store and wanted to sell consumer laptops with Linux on them, I’d default to Mint.

    If someone is looking to turn their PC into something more specialized for gaming, they can look at something like Bazzite or Batocera. These will generally require some tinkering.

    If an individual or company is looking to build an office with many workstations and user accounts, they might consider Red Hat Enterprise Linux so they can benefit from official support channels if something needs troubleshooting. Many computer labs at NCSU used RHEL when I attended many years ago.

    Want a stable server environment? Debian is a standard pick.

    Want a barebones system with no bells and whistles (but great battery life)? Alpine oughta work.

    So Linux has many options for end users to pick from, which can be seen as a good thing (more options is generally good), but also a bad thing (many end users might consider the plethora of options to be overwhelming if they’ve never used Linux before).

    Linux (or is called unix?)

    Linux (Or GNU/Linux) operating systems are a modern implementation of an old research OS that was called “Unix”. Spiritual successors to Unix like Linux and BSD try to bring a lot of the design philosophies of Unix into modern OSes (I believe this is generally called the “POSIX” standard. e.g.: macOS is a POSIX compliant OS, iirc).

    If I’ve gotten any of this information incorrect, please don’t tell Richard Stallman.









  • Sorry to hear about all the negative experiences. It’s so cool you’ve contacted the ISS, though. I wanna do it at some point as well!

    I’m also in rural, southern USA (North Carolina. Only gotta drive about 2 minutes up the road to see a house with a confederate flag flying!) and similar experiences to yours have driven me away from most local nets. Some of the wild stuff I’ve heard these boomers (and older) say has made it unpalatable to say the least. I recall when studying for the Technician’s exam, the study guide I was reading said “There’s really no specific list of things you can’t say on the radio, but basically don’t say it if you wouldn’t say it in front of your mother.” Unfortunately a lot of these guys would clearly say a whole lot of casually racist, homophobic, xenophobic, misogynistic, etc stuff in front of their mothers without a second thought.

    One local net I was frequenting about 2 years ago had a woman show up and all the guys were just super weird about it. Like a video game lobby voice chat, but older and creepier. 🤦‍♂️

    I agree we gotta start handing out cheap handsets and licenses to zoomers ASAP, lol. I’m a millennial (33) and would very much like for HAM radio to be more inclusive.
