The only reason this would need to be a bill is if people are upset that they are failing the exam. Which means they qre failing the exams, to the surprise of no one.

What we should be doing instead is making our neighborhoods more accessible to those without cars. I'm sure they feel like their mobility is gone if they lose their license, but that shouldn't be the case to begin with.

So tone deaf, and clearly they're just trying to steer the narrative.

They call out that it's never taken lightly and it has to happen. We know. Stop killing games just says you have to do something when you turn off the servers. Either release the server source code so it can be engineered by the community, release a self hostage server alternative, even just documents or guides on how to get started.

But they're going to try to make it about the mean old gamers want them to go broke

I really wanted it to work, for me it made the most sense I thought, as little virtualization as I could do. VM felt like such a heavy layer in between - but it just wasn't meant to work that way. You have to essentially run your LXC as root, meaning that it's essentially just the host anyway so it can run docker. Then when you get down to it, you've lost all the benefits of the LXC vs just running docker. Not to mention that anytime there was even am minor update to proxmox something usually broke.

I'm surprised Proxmox hasn't added straight-up support for containers, either by docker, podman, or even just containerd directly. But, we aren't it's target audience either.

I'm glad you can take my years of struggling to find a way to get it to work well and learn from it.

Have you seen the surface-linux project on GitHub? They've been maintaining a kernel for it. Idk if it'll work with your distro but I'd start there

Very happy for you! Seconded to just banking it. If it was 50k that would be different. Throw half in a CD and the other just plan out ongoing expenses. Make sure backups are working, maybe use a bit of the cash to try recovering from a backup just in case.

If your cost is 250 a month, then in reality you only have 2 years of runway there, if you don't grow. Good intention and I respect that, but I think keeping beehaw going long term is better than anything else you would do with the money

Hm, probably sitting at home playing too many videos games

Personally I agree. I've seen way more startups kicking off with these waves of layoffs. It's a silver lining, not much more, but I'm happy to see people finally realizing they don't want the big tech solutions anymore.

Not at all. Proxmox does a great job at hosting VMs and giving a control plane for them - but it does not do containers well. LXCs are a thing, and it hosts those - but never try to do docker in an LXC. (I tried so many different ways and guides and there were just too many caveats, and you end up always essentially giving root access to your containers, so it's not great anyway). I'd like to see proxmox offer some sort of docker-first approach will it will manage volumes at the proxmox level, but they don't seem concerned with that, and honestly if you're doing that then you're nearing kubernetes anyway.

Which is what I ended up doing - k3s on proxmox VMs. Proxmox handles the instances themselves, spins up a VM on each host to run k3s, and then I run k3s from within there. Same paradigm as the major cloud providers. GKE, AKS, and EKS all run k8s within a VM on their existing compute stack, so this fits right in.

Just focus on one project at a time, break it out into small victories that you can celebrate. A project like this is going to be more than a single weekend. Just get proxmox up and running. Then a simple VM. Then a backup job. Don't try to get everything including tailscale working all at once. The learning curve is a bit more than you're probably used to, but if you take it slow and focus on those small steps you'll be fine.

At issue was a 2018 ballot initiative, Proposition 12, that bans the sale of pork products in California unless the sow from which the butchered pig was born was housed with at least 24 square feet of floor space.

6 foot by 4 foot. That's the minimum the law asks for and Iowa producers are upset by that? If an adult lays down on the ground that can easily take up that much room.

Pulse is probably the best live album of all time! Run like hell and comfortably numb are maybe even better than the originals, and the entirety of dark side is on it!

Final cut you can tell waters was just angry at society and the country that he felt betrayed him. It wasn't the best album in terms of music or writing, but emotionally you could tell he was broken there.

I was just forwarded this someone in my household who watches our server. That's it folks. I've been a hold out for a long time, but this is honestly it.

They want me to pay to stream content that I bought from my hardware transcoded also on my hardware.

I'll say it. As of today, I say Plex is dead. Luckily I've been setting up Jellyfin, I guess it's time to make it production ready.

Edit: I have a Plex Pass. More comments saying “Just buy a plex pass” are seriously not getting it. I have a Plex Pass and my users are still getting this.

And for the thousandth person who wants to say the same things to me:

  • YES I know I'm unaffected as a Plex Pass owner.
  • My users were immediately angry at it, which made me angry. Our users don't understand what plex pass is, and they shouldn't have to, that's why I had it. The fact that they were pinged even though it should have kept working is horribly sloppy
  • Plex is still removing functionality. I don't care that "People should pay their fair share". If Plex wants to put every new feature behind a paywall, that's completely okay. They are removing functionality.
    • "But they have cloud costs". Remote streaming is negligible to them. It's a dynamic DNS service. Plex client logs in, asks where server is, plex cloud responds with the IP and port of where server is located. That's it.
    • "Good luck finding another remote streaming" - Again, Plex just opens up an IP and port. Jellyfin also just opens up an IP and port (Hold on jellyfin folks I know, security, that's a separate conversation). All "remote streaming" is is their dynamic dns. Literal pennies to them. Know what actually is costing them money? Hosting all of that ad-supported "free" content that they're probably losing money on.

In short, I don't care how you justify it. Plex is doing something shitty. They're removing functionality that has been free for years. I'm not responding to any more of your comments repeating the same arguments over and over.

Hi folks. So, I know due to a myriad of reasons I should not allow Jellyfin access to the open internet. However, in trying to switch family over from Plex, I'll need something that "just works".

How are people solving this problem? I've thought about a few solutions, like whitelisting ips (which can change of course), or setting up VPN or tail scale (but then that is more work than they will be willing to do on their side). I can even add some level of auth into my reverse proxy, but that would break Jellyfin clients.

Wondering what others have thought about for this problem

 
 

Heads up for those who run a dedicated server who haven't tried experimental first, posting this so it's on your radar.

Long story short, we had to open two additional ports on our server, 8888 and 27777. Following is a direct copy from the changelog:

Dedicated Server - Port Forwarding Updates

If you have Host a dedicated server, you should definitely give the next block a read as many new improvements have been added to allow for extra flexibility since the last update on Experimental

We have updated the Port Allocation Strategy in Reliable Messaging New features:

Explicit Port Configuration

  • A new -ReliablePort= command-line parameter allows explicit port selection.
  • The value must be an integer between 0 and 65535.
  • If specified, the server will attempt to bind to this port and fail to initialize if the port is unavailable.

Default and Configurable Port Ranges The following settings in Engine.ini control port allocation:

[/Script/ReliableMessaging.ReliableMessagingTCPFactory]
PortRangeBegin=8888
PortRangeLength=512
ExternalPortRangeBegin=-1
  • The server will attempt to bind within [PortRangeBegin, PortRangeBegin + PortRangeLength).
  • By default, the server starts at port 8888 and tries up to 512 ports until it finds an available one.

Client Awareness & NAT Handling

  • Clients must connect to the correct port, but port remapping (e.g., via NAT/firewall rules) can break this.
  • To address this, the server now communicates the listening port to clients during the initial handshake.
  • If external port remapping is used, the server must be aware of the external port via:
  • The ExternalPortRangeBegin config setting (for remapped ranges).
  • The -ExternalReliablePort= command-line parameter (for explicitly mapped ports).

Server Host Requirements (TL;DR)

  • If hosting a single server, port 8888 TCP must be open by default.
  • If hosting multiple servers, a range of ports starting from 8888 TCP (by default) must be open.
  • The server will attempt up to 512 ports before failing (configurable).
  • If port remapping (NAT/firewall) is used, the server must be configured accordingly; otherwise, clients won’t be able to connect.
  • Logging is in place to help server maintainers verify the allocated ports.
 

Hi folks, title essentially. I'm using Open Razer and Polychromatic on PopOS right now for my keyboard, but I have a few other peripherals that are also RGB. A corsair cooler, my EVGA card, and my Gigabyte mobo lighting. I was wondering if there's a single pane I can organize them all with. I don't have super high expectations, but maybe there's something out there. Thanks!

 

I am someone who always enjoys having something on in the background, helping me focus.

I love me some Andor, GoT, a lot of newer stuff that is made with really high production quality - but I sit down to watch those.

What shows do you watch that just sit running in the background, ones that aren't going to win any Emmys but you just enjoy?

For me my last two are Home Improvement and Everybody Loves Raymond. Both were fine in their heyday, but now they are noise filler. Not terrible, not great. So what are yours?

 

Maybe an ivory backscratcher?
