So, when he dies?
Because if ever there was US president who intends to try for “President for life”, it’s this guy.
Mountaineer@aussie.zoneto Technology@beehaw.org•USB-C charging is now mandatory in EU, here's what you need to know - GSMArena.com newsEnglish36·6 months agoThis is basically a botspam talking point.
It doesn’t matter.
If you’ve got bad cables, you should do the same thing you would do with a bad iPhone cable or any other cable that no longer serves its purpose - recycle it.
Now buy another cable that’s actually good, if you don’t know which one that should be, maybe find out which ones your phone provider sells.
This is a self correcting issue over time.

Mountaineer@aussie.zoneto Privacy@lemmy.ml•What's inside the QR code menu at this cafe?English0·10 months agoIn certain places like India, WhatsApp is the default means of communication for everyone.
You can use it without phone data if you are on wifi, it supports better quality than sms for sending images, you can video chat with it, it’s cross platform, etc etc.What’s more amazing to me is that it’s not more popular in western countries.
Mountaineer@aussie.zoneto Jellyfin: The Free Software Media System@lemmy.ml•Can I have multiple video files of the same episode but in different codecs?English2·1 year agoI don’t think that’s a use case the developers really envisaged.
I know under movies (and possible shows as well), you can specify versions:
https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/moviesBut I think you’re expected to select the version at playback time.
When I’ve had this issue, I’ve just transcoded to a format that all my targets can read without drama and kept the resulting file.
If your keen to experiment, I’d be curious to hear the outcome.
Mountaineer@aussie.zoneto Linux@lemmy.ml•Possible to use Linux for Wi-Fi drivers on Windows?English4·1 year agoA lockdown browser?
Mountaineer@aussie.zoneto Linux@lemmy.ml•Possible to use Linux for Wi-Fi drivers on Windows?English8·1 year agoIf you need to use windows because of a software issue, not a hardware issue, you’re probably best off running windows in a VM.
That way your linux install is making the WPA3 connection, and as far as the Windows install is concerned, it’s on a wired lan.
This has the added benefit of not having to reboot, you just always start linux and turn the windows VM on and off as required.
Mountaineer@aussie.zoneto Jellyfin: The Free Software Media System@lemmy.ml•Jellyfin 10.9.7English11·1 year agoAs /u/rezz@lemmy.world said, you can try to force a scan of the library. Log into the admin and hit the big “Scan All Libraries” button, then give it some time.
A refresh of that page should show a progress meter.
In order to encourage more accurate detection (assuming it can find/access the new file at all), there are advised naming schemes for your files. See here for a basic overview: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/movies
I prefer to include the full name, year and imdb info of a movie, ie Citizen Kane isn’t just “Citizen.Kane.mp4”, it’s:
“Citizen Kane (1941) [imdbid-tt0033467].mp4”
based on the information that’s publically available here https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0033467/Even if you don’t enable imdb itself for the metadata lookup, that will give you an almost guaranteed detection during a library scan.
If this sounds like too much work, there’s several automated tools for naming your personal dvd rips, such as Radarr.
If it’s still not being detected, it’s time to dig into the logs and find out WHY it’s erroring.
Is it permissions?
Is it naming?
Is it the phase of the moon?
My gut suggests it’s a font issue, like librewolf is using a system font and firefox is using embedded or downloaded fonts.
backing that up with a search, I see there’s lots of people complaining of font rendering issues of various types in the librewolf subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/LibreWolf/search/?q=font
I don’t know what your fix is, but I hope this helps guide you.

What else is this company going to be difficult with?
Can i only get customer support or cancel my account in person, between 9-4 on the 2nd Friday of the month?
I would consider alternatives, if possible.
Mountaineer@aussie.zoneto Jellyfin: The Free Software Media System@lemmy.ml•Jellyfin Server/Web 10.9 ReleasedEnglish1·1 year agoLooks like it’s a manual process.
It also looks like no Jellyfin developer is creating the builds on Flathub and that some random member of the flathub community did it.Whilst the devs provide instructions for all manner of install methods, the preferred version is definitely via docker.
Mountaineer@aussie.zoneOPto Jellyfin: The Free Software Media System@lemmy.ml•Jellyfin 10.9.0 Stable releaseEnglish3·1 year agoYeah, I can see it now.
I can only assume that the post hadn’t propagated to my server 3 hours ago.
Mountaineer@aussie.zoneto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Bitwarden has launched a new authenticator appEnglish4·1 year agoTOTP is a defined standard, specifically RFC 6238.
But I still have 3 different apps on my phone so that I can get on to various customer VPNS. 🤷♂️
Can’t tell if you’re joking, but a Request For Comments is effectively a proposal for how a process should be performed.
Some of them are eventually ratified as internet standards by the IETF.
Plenty of them remain useful as defacto standards even without formal acknowledgement.
Mountaineer@aussie.zoneto Jellyfin: The Free Software Media System@lemmy.ml•Jellyfin 10.9 Coming Soon!English5·1 year agoShort answer no.
Plex works by having a centralised server run by Plex themselves, that facilitates your client connecting to your server.The external facing part of Jellyfin server is basically a web server, and it’s a bad idea to expose that to the internet without putting a reverse proxy in front of it (hence the mention of NGINX above).
Another option is to have a VPN connection to where you are running Jellyfin and then only access Jellyfin pseudo locally (so potential security problems aren’t a big concern). This introduces other complications if you want to access it remotely via things like Roku or Chromecast, especially if you have multiple external (and probably not tech savvy) users.I want to stress that none of this is prohibitively expensive or hard, but doing it involves learning and effort.
All the information and programs you need are available online for free.If you only wanted to use Jellyfin at home (server in the cupboard, client on the tv), none of this other stuff matters. If you want to access Jellyfin remotely, and the idea of running a reverse proxy or a vpn server with the corresponding exposed ports and domain configuration sounds scary, Jellyfin is probably not for you.

Mountaineer@aussie.zoneto Linux@lemmy.ml•Ending support for Windows 10 could send 240 million computers to the landfill. Why not install Linux on them?English11·2 years agoWindows XP is basically firmware at this point, and has been for over a decade.
Lots of proprietary hardware that works perfectly, will not work on newer versions of Windows due to lack of drivers.
I see it constantly in factory situations with scales, scanners and robot controllers, it would only be worse for million dollar x-ray machines.
Mountaineer@aussie.zoneto Technology@lemmy.world•Beeper reverse-engineered iMessage to bring blue bubble texts to Android usersEnglish01·2 years agoit’ll work just like SMS does now
I agree with this part of your statement 100%.
It will work POORLY.Whether it’s in the same app or simply a different colour like SMS is currently, it’ll be a half assed implementation, designed to segregate your iphone and android friends.
Got an existing iphone group chat? Bet you can’t add an RCS participant to it.
Create a new RCS group chat so you can include everyone? Bet it’s missing features that you’d get in imessage.
Receive a high resolution video from a friend via imessage? Forward that to another friend via RCS and they’ll receive 5 blurry pixels.And throughout all of this, apple will blame the RCS protocol and say “We’re actively working with GSMA to improve RCS”.
No one trusts apple for the very simple reason that they have a habit of saying the quiet part out loud: Tim Cook Says ‘Buy Your Mom An iPhone’
Mountaineer@aussie.zoneto Technology@lemmy.world•Beeper reverse-engineered iMessage to bring blue bubble texts to Android usersEnglish2·2 years agoThere’s some gotchas in Apples statement:
They have promised to implement “RCS Universal Profile”
This means the bare minimum, not the advanced features implemented by Google and Samsung etc.
An example of a missing feature from Universal Profile is end to end encryption.They also said: “This will work alongside iMessage, which will continue to be the best and most secure messaging experience for Apple users.”
The implication of this is that it won’t be in the iMessage app, it will be in a separate but official app, siloing your Android friends from your iPhone friends.When this comes out, every European is going to shrug and keep using Whatsapp.
Finamp beta works with android auto (although I’ve experienced a bug when starting finamp from the android auto screen).
Hopefully the current Hackathon makes it even better: https://github.com/users/jmshrv/projects/5/views/1
