This is a two for one deal then

Too bad you aren’t liking carless people, I really like learning how crazy the muckity mucks were at FB.

Among my favorites I remember: Gideon the ninth, slavery by another name, worst journey in the world, anything by Ted Chiang, blindsight/echopraxia

Recent reads: little bosses everywhere (excellent), no more tears (also excellent), get in trouble (I really like parts of it but it’s classic Kelly link, super weird and abrupt)

Common dude, don’t support elon

This is my mistake,.I went through a Heinlein phase and this one was the last straw for me.I may have had some bleedover from his other books, where I recall his treatment of women sucked ass, was pretty incestuous, and always features promiscuous red heads. I did really like “the moon is a harsh mistress” even if I think libitarism is purile.

I still think stranger is just a Jesus story (it’s been ages), where hhgtg didn’t have a point except maybe you are at the mercy of the universe, and God is sorry for the inconvenience.

I’m not sure how you got that message, Arthur specifically isn’t even aware of his friend being an alien when his house is demolished. He kind of just faces what’s next in terror, at least until the fenchurch bits. Even when he’s stuck on earth I wouldn’t say he’s having a good time.

I’m not sure hhgttg recommends incest with large breasted red heads as much as stranger in a strange land.

I guess I’ll bite, what’s the message?

Recommend “if books could kill” podcast about sapiens. Might give you some pause on recommending that book

The Narnia series is not that great, think it only did so well cause it’s so religious

For Americans I think “slavery by another name” and “bury my heart at wounded knee” should be required reading.

Don’t really know one book that everyone should read, maybe everyone should read more than one book

Count of Monte Christo imo isn’t so great, or maybe I’ve read too many shorter riffs on the theme. I’d also plop 1984 before 451.

Murray perahias recording I reluctantly think may be superior.

Were you at Toronto film festival? Maybe he also did it at other theaters

Yeah, but this is a good movie

I don’t actually care, but when I have in the past (around 2006 era) it “just worked”, while other distros i was using required more hand holding (gentoo, redhat, slackware). I suspect most distros are just fine now a days (using debian now and it seems just fine).

I am not currently using it but it’s always been fine whenever I have. What’s broken?

Performative is not the word you intended, but may be apt.

I’ve heard this from others but don’t see meaningful difference myself

My understanding is that ffmpeg is the bedrock that all video streaming services use. I’m suspicious it’s a bigger deal than you think

thanks; for anyone looking, the issues have been split out at the bottom, none of them are addressed as of this writing. I don’t know that I feel like they are that serious (most of them allow you to play things if you know an ID), but they are the kind of thing you’d see in a project where there are bigger security issues.

What security gaps in particular? I did have to reverse proxy to get it to https, are there additional security issues?

I find the clients ok, not great, but I haven’t explored that space much, there are many more options than Plex. Plex seems to be making theirs worse. It actually seems like Plex tries to make my content in their client harder to find.

The real issue is jellyfin is not as good at finding metadata. I’ve overcome this with tinymediamanager, but it still isn’t as good.

For secure remote streaming, I’ve got mine behind caddy with https (caddy does the let’s encrypt dance it’s really pleasant, even works with my free DNS provider), which seems about as secure as Plex was. Are there other security aspects I’m missing that Plex provides?
