What’s really irritating is that there doesn’t seem to be a way to download videos from yt which have an age restriction, even with Cookies

I mean, yea. But it is also easy to buy them, they’re everywhere and fairly cheap. The Galbani one is also just 1€ or so more expensive.

To be clear, making your own is fantastic, it’s just not anything I’d want to do 2x/week

Mozzarella (talking about the balls of fresh mozzarella you get sealed in with their brine).

Can’t do store brand anymore after having tried Galbani.

Eh. There’s memories I cherish a thousand times more because I made them with my partner.

But there’s also memories I cherish because they’re mine alone.

For traveling specifically, just having someone with you also isn’t enough; you need to want to do the same things, in roughly the same way.

OK, add step above: use wildcard certificate for your domain.

Terminating the TLS connection at your perimeter firewall is standard practice, there’s no reason your jellyfin host needs to obtain the certificate.

Actual answer for 3:

• put jellyfin behind a proper reverse proxy. Ideally on a separate host / hardware firewall, but nginx on the same host works fine as well.
• create subdomain, let’s say sub.yourdomain.com
• forward traffic, for that subdomain ONLY, to jellyfin in your reverse proxy config
• tell your relatives to put sub.yourdomain.com into their jellyfin app

All the fear-mongering about exposing jellyfin to the internet I have seen on here boils down to either

• “port forwarding is a bad idea!!”, which yes, don’t do that. The above is not that. Or
• “people / bots who know your IP can get jellyfin to work as a 1-bit oracle, telling you if a specific media file exists on your disk” which is a) not an indication for something illegal, and b) prevented by the described reverse proxy setup insofar as the bot needs to know the exact subdomain (and any worthwhile domain-provider will not let bots walk your DNS zone).

(Not saying YOU say that; just preempting the usual folklore typically commented whenever someone suggests hosting jellyfin publicly accessible)

How good is it with background activities?

About the only thing holding me back is that my phone runs a continuous glucose monitor, constantly connecting with a small sensor in my arm. That all quietly dying in the background would just… not be an option.

Not my style

Not comfortable

Too cold

Neovim, because I wanted something that would not just disappear.

I never really got along with VSCode, opting for Atom instead. Microsoft bought GitHub, which owned Atom, and promptly discontinued it.

Nvim has such an active community (and no “owner”) that I’m certain that this won’t happen again. At the same time, the plugin system is so flexible that I’m also certain that I will never miss out on any shiny new features.

Over the years, my config has matured, and is mine. The thought of going back to an editor, any editor, less flexible in its configuration than nvim is just… an absolute “no”.

It’s a steep learning curve, but well worth it.

Oh, nice. Other way as well? Can I comment from my Lemmy instance’s web interface?

Why, what did I miss?

No.

Apart from everything else, also consider that it’s just respectful to at least try and learn the local language of wherever it is you are going. Doesn’t matter if it’s on vacation or long term company deployment.

Also, LLMs are absolute garbage at picking up on things like subtle language-based jokes, for example.

A photo of yourself, naked, in that very shower. With your dick enlarged to a comical size. (Or shrunk.) (Yes this is a gender neutral suggestion.)

From NixOS? Nothing, unless it’s compatible with my nix config in a way that I can simply replace nixpkgs’ flake input URL

Interesting. I always loved how they fit the musical entries into the story in a way that it makes sense that everyone is singing all of the sudden, lol

Iain M. Banks’ Culture.

I’m deathly afraid of the day some big studio manages to buy the rights and produce a Hollywood version of the Culture. Mostly because it is very easy to flip through the Wikipedia entries and then take the superficial aesthetic of the Culture and misunderstand or ignore the rest.

For an example on how easy it is to do this: I remember vividly when the German translations of the later books came out, and they all had some variation of

The Culture is the galaxy-spanning empire of mankind. Unbeknownst to its citizens however, their supposedly benevolent machine gods are about to dispense with the needs for humans at all"

in the blurb. Someone scanned the wiki page until they read something about “superhuman AI” or the like, then went “ah, got it, I’ve seen Terminator”.

In a similar vein, I cannot imagine that Hollywood would portray the Culture as an unquestionably good Utopia. They’d not be able to resist to paint the luxury gay space communists as “…with a dark secret / actually dystopian /…” tones.

It has to have the same energy though. Dong have to be the same characters, doesn’t have to feature Brakebills for Fillory, but needs the same “we’re broken and magic doesn’t make it better, but hey, here’s a canonical musical” feeling

No, mate. I don’t need a guide, or a tour. Just a single clarifying sentence.

“My product does x”. Right now, x could be:

• help you scam people
• provide a meditation partner
• help you learn how to code in Cobol
• give travel tips
• …

What does your product DO? And dong you dare answer “it helps you make money”, that does not explain anything.

I have clicked every link on that site and I still have exactly zero clue wtf this is.

Sadly, we won’t see a second season, because some “fans” on the internet got mad that women, people of color and - very shocking - queer people exist in the Star Wars universe.

It sucks that these people exist, for many reasons. One of these reasons (surely not the worst one, but the one I want to focus on) is that it muddies all criticism of a project. Your comment implied that this was the sole, or main, reason that The Acolyte was canceled, so I want to jump in here to say:

Having more women, people of color, and queer characters was the only refreshing thing about The Acolyte, and I wish more Star Wars projects took notice. Other than that though, the show is an utter disaster. It was incompetently written and directed, its story and characters make no sense, and the effects can be jarring.

Characters either have no defined motivations, or their motivations flip flop at the drop of a hat. Scenes dealing with the Jedi order and the republic fuck with established lore and do lasting damage to the Jedi order (not in the sense that they are shown as morally gray, but in that they are utterly incompetent and seemingly don’t remember the appearance of the Sith during living memory, for example).

Speaking of which, yes, the show tries to portray Jedi/Sith as a gray area, but

a) that has been done to death at this point, seriously, every other SW project tries to do a “ooooh but maybe Jedi not completely good!”, and b) The Acolyte is probably the most incompetent version of that I have seen (so far!).

I hope I have demonstrated that this show can be critiqued bar any bigotry, and I think it should be acknowledged that that, together with the giant sum of money it ate, are the reasons it got canceled - I am sure Disney also does not like the bigotry, but sadly, they get that with every project, even those that do not get canceled…

In any case, there is no comparison to Andor to be made, SMH.
