That’s also a viable solution, but for me I just use Btrfs snapshots on my NAS. My files are stored on a different device and the Jellyfin container only sees them as a mounted dir, not even aware that it’s an SMB mount.

I think the point here is that Jellyfin doesn’t have a centralized login or website like Plex does. An attacker would have to know about your server and log into it directly to get access. If you run it in a container, there isn’t a lot they can do other than trashing your media library, which you should have protected with filesystem snapshots anyway.

I been doin it for years already!! It’s easy to just set up a 4-bay NAS with docker containers running apps that replace your existing cloud services

The removable batteries coming back would also impact the iPhone, which actually respects user privacy because Apple is not a marketing company. Apple is a products and services company, they sell tech devices and make a lot of money on services like Apple Music and TV+ and such. It’s expensive for a reason; you can even take the encryption keys out of Apple’s hands for iCloud so you genuinely are fully protected

Stallman, is that you??

I appreciate your perspective here. There is an element of whining and negativity among job-seekers lately. I’ve seen some people buckle down and hustle, and I’ve seen others give up in frustration. The truth of this is that there are going to be a lot of people who never even get to use their CS degrees, and there will be people who “win” and get jobs like this without one. It boils down to what you can do and whether or not a company in your area finds value in it.

It’s not fair. It’s just what we have to deal with.

This would be a great idea if literally any other tech company were even slightly above such behavior. This is just what Capitalism is all about, baby. Corruption. Get used to it, because this isn’t changing until Americans revolt (culturally, violently, politically, economically? who knows) and that likely isn’t happening with this complacent and socially isolated of a populace

If you’re in Washington as in this article, and need a lawyer after being arrested at a protest, the phone number is 206-OK-TRY-ME

I usually set up an alias or script to update everything on my system. For example, on Ubuntu, I would do this: alias sysup='snap refresh && apt update && apt upgrade'

And on Arch, I do this: alias sysup ='flatpak update && paru'

Funny enough you’d need to use sudo to run this on Ubuntu, but not in the Arch example because paru being neat

Yeah it’s pretty much unclear

Likely because Telegram pointing out that xAI is paying them instead of the other way around is hugely embarrassing.

This is old news already; xAI backed out of the deal this morning.

Either way, this “integration” is just Grok being available on Telegram for Premium subscribers only. It’s just like any other bot on the app.

That’s the way

I’ll take this opportunity to encourage you to limit your Twitter use as much as possible, you know why.

Because the notes were not removed, they’re just not working due to data center problems right now. Or, at least, that’s enough of a possibility to raise questions.

Oh no, nuance??

Well, I stopped using macOS for about four years because the 2020 models were just… bad. I am back to using it now because my current employer provided me with a MacBook Pro to use, and I’ve gotten to enjoy the current version of Finder. I think the most notable change in recent years is the addition of tabbed finder windows, and just a ton of really small changes to make things a bit easier, like how they changed the way copying files works to be paused and resumed from the finder itself.

In macOS 15 I’m mostly happy that Microsoft’s window tiling patent expired so we can finally tile windows natively in macOS without needing that bettersnaptool app.

Well, the moment you want to start being a power user on the Mac, you have to learn a few common menu items or their keyboard shortcuts. This is by design because Apple doesn’t want to make it easy to mistakenly mess up your computer, and even with things being this way by default with all these restrictions, you’d find that people still find ways to break it. It’s stunning.

Knowing that, it’s understandable that some settings would be required to be tweaked if a power user were to use the system. You can hit cmd+, to open the settings, customize your side bar, and add desktop icons for any connected drives. To jump to a certain directory, you would use the Go > Go to Folder or shift+cmd+G to type in your location. This works for hidden files too, but it may be easier to simply use the terminal when working with hidden files such as these.

To move up a directory when you’re caught in the middle of a file tree, you can use cmd+up arrow, or use Go > Enclosing Folder. Alternatively, you could just start using the column view, which is one of the great features I tend to shout out the Finder for in the first place. It makes it incredibly easy to navigate deeply nested directories.

You can also use cmd+j to change the view settings in any folder, and it will remember your preferences per each folder.

The cmd+i information pop-up is extremely useful and well laid out, easy to use, and intuitive.

You can tap the space bar after highlighting most files to view a preview of the file, including media files. This preview is also used in the gallery and column view in Finder, which can make working with media files much easier and simpler.

These are all things you learn when you spend a lot of time using macOS. Keyboard shortcuts obviously exist on everything, but with macOS they’re pretty much required for power users.

In fairness, Dolphin is definitely the best available on Linux. I think Finder strikes the perfect balance of simplicity and customization. It’s easy to figure out for a newbie and powerful enough for a developer. Dolphin’s learning curve is a bit steeper and in my view it has too many features on offer. This is a common problem with KDE software. It’s not a big deal because KDE stuff isn’t used on commercially-available products that need tech support, and anyone using Linux should be able to get by just fine with it, but I still think Finder is simply better software with a longer history and judicious use of new features

Well, Windows Explorer is terrible, Dolphin is better but still not really that great, Nautilus is stripped back and barebones, Thunar is ancient and barely competes with what Windows XP had, and vifm is unreasonable unless you exclusively work in terminals. Did I miss any that are even remotely popular?
