Happy Cake Day! :)

I take it you’ve never even tried Linux before. Both of those things are not things that will hold you back. My mom uses Linux, and she barely knows what “right click” means.

With regard to your Steam games, as long as you don’t play games that use restrictive anticheat, you’ll be fine.

Manjaro Linux is a really bad choice. I’d like my gaming console to be able to update if I turn it on after two years.

I have all Reolink cameras and they’re awesome. They have both indoor and outdoor cameras. They’re really expensive compared to other similar cameras, but the software is really good, and there’s no subscription. You don’t even need to log in. Everything is only stored locally, on either SD cards in the camera or a separate “home hub” (or both). They have motion and object detection built into the cameras.

The way I have them set up is every indoor camera is plugged into a smart outlet that disconnects their power through Home Assistant when either me or my wife are home.

The outdoor ones are connected to solar power, so I didn’t even have to run any wires.

I’d highly recommend them.

Safe, yeah. Private, no. If you want to verify whether a user is a real person, you need very personally identifiable information. That’s not ever going to be private.

The best you could do, in theory, is have a government service that takes that PII and gives the user a signed cryptographic certificate they can use to verify their identity. Most people would either lose their private key or have it stolen, so even that system would have problems.

The closest to reality you could do right now is use Apple’s FaceID, and that’s anything but private. Pretty safe though. It’s super illegal and quite hard to steal someone’s face.

So, Jellyfin is one of those apps where the Docker documentation is really lacking. I’m gonna give you my docker-compose.yml file in case it helps:

services:
  jellyfin:
    image: jellyfin/jellyfin
    user: 0:0
    restart: 'unless-stopped'
    ports:
      - '8096:8096'
    environment:
      #- JELLYFIN_CACHE_DIR=/var/cache/jellyfin
      #- JELLYFIN_CONFIG_DIR=/etc/jellyfin
      - JELLYFIN_DATA_DIR=/var/lib/jellyfin
      - JELLYFIN_LOG_DIR=/var/log/jellyfin
    volumes:
      - ./config:/config
      - ./cache:/cache
      - ./data:/var/lib/jellyfin
      - ./log:/var/log/jellyfin
      - /data/jellyfin:/data/jellyfin
    devices:
      - /dev/dri

For me /data/ is my RAID array, which is why my jellyfin data directory is there. Everything else goes in the same directory as the compose file. My system has a graphics card that does transcoding (Arc A380), so I have /dev/dri under devices.

You should learn a lot about Docker Compose, because it will help you tremendously. I use Jellyfin behind an Nginx Proxy Manager reverse proxy. I’d highly recommend it. Here’s my compose file for that:

services:
  app:
    image: 'jc21/nginx-proxy-manager:latest'
    restart: unless-stopped
    network_mode: "host"
    #ports:
    #  - '80:80'
    #  - '81:81'
    #  - '443:443'
    volumes:
      - ./data:/data
      - ./letsencrypt:/etc/letsencrypt

Running in “host” mode is important, instead of just forwarding ports, because it lets you forward things to localhost, like pointing https://media/.[mydomain]/ to http://127.0.0.1:8096/ for Jellyfin.

Anyway, best of luck to you, and I hope that helps!

Use Portainer if you don’t want anything to be portable. There are other issues too. Just use Docker Compose.

Is there a reason you’re not using Docker?

Social media is not a news source.

Repository: your code.

Fork: my code.

Pull request: u want my code?

This physically hurts me.

I’m not even sure they like the idea of the constitution. They want orders from on high, and that is absolutely not what the idea of the constitution is. The constitution, as originally written even, is everything about America that republicans currently hate. They want one man to wield practically unlimited power.

It always amazes me how much republicans hate the constitution.

What I’ve done in this scenario is use a very long silent black video from YouTube. There’s a bunch. It technically plays audio, so the soundbar shouldn’t sleep, but the audio is just a silent signal.

Because the Android SDK is owned and controlled by Google. They’ve consistently made decisions to make it harder to stay out of their ecosystem (like the new “Integrity” API).

As consumers, we would vastly benefit from having another choice that isn’t controlled by one of the biggest tech companies in the world.

I like how their idea of entry level is a 16GB RAM phone for €890.

Yeah, fair enough. That’s a great point. I will update my opinion of this advancement.

The catch is that it’s useless in most plastics applications, where you really don’t want it to dissolve easily. Probably more catches, but that’s the one I see right away.

You see the thing is, the point of plastic is that it doesn’t dissolve easily. I can see this having some niche applications, but this won’t be replacing most plastics any time soon.

The most successful handheld gaming PC in history (admittedly, only if you don’t include consoles like the Switch), and still can’t get no respect.
