  • I openly talk to them about it all the time.

    I guess I was responding to this along with the content of your post.

    I just don’t talk about it and make it a point not to. I talk about what I’m watching. I talk about that my friends have requested shows/movies on the server that I ended up enjoying as well. I never talk about what they are watching or not watching.

    I’m sorry if I got the wrong impression from your comments and post, but I just got the sense that you maybe brought up with them that you were sad that your friend didn’t finish your favorite movie. If I were a friend with whom that was brought up with, I would think twice about what I pulled up on your server. That shows to me that my behavior is being watched and monitored, which isn’t a great feeling, free service provided by a friend or not. Again, sorry if that’s not the case here and you can disregard entirely, but this is just not how I talk to the friends and family about using my Jellyfin server.




  • This is a good encapsulation of why passkeys are having a hard time. There are so many different ways to interact and it’s confusing for the user. There are physical FIDO keys, there are keys you create per device, then there are passkeys that the “device” is a password manager like bitwarden which is cloud based and follows you from wherever. It feels like they offer very different levels of security but do not look very different to the passkey issuer.



  • It’s pretty well traveled and established so support for it is pretty easy. Fedora comes in both KDE and Gnome varieties. Debian based, though it uses dnf instead of apt for package installer, but that’s not hard. IMHO it’s a good sweet spot of a release cycle. It’s big enough that issues reliably get ironed out before they hit the stable version, but doesn’t trail kernel updates for too terribly long.










  • Oh, I didn’t mean to say I was using Plex there. Jellyfin + domain + reverse proxy is what I do for both Jellyfin and Seerr. I was just saying people who say “wireguard is the only way to go” aren’t taking into account all workflows, like sharing with family and having them connect via their TVs.

    I also just don’t want family and friends on my home network all the time, haha.





  • Yeah, this is a recipe for disaster.

    Maybe there are benefits in that boys whom otherwise would be just lonely and alone find that they can have conversations with the void/hivebrain. But the “relationship” aspect of this is just more bad news for the overall psychology of our kids.

    …reading more of the article…

    Chambers noted that chatbots are, by default, submissive, and reassure and reaffirm people’s thoughts because “they want you to like them”. “On top of this you can create your perfect ‘person’, moulding not only how they look but how they respond to you, how they treat you, and you can start and stop the relationship on a whim. This isn’t real life – and these instant gratification behaviours seeping into real life will have consequences.”

    Yeah, that seems not good.
