They needed an inquiry?

You’re probably holding your controller wrong.

That does make sense considering every other developed country has free healthcare and literally 100% of their young men spend every waking hour playing video games.

Nothing inherently, but it’s a rolling release, so the further away from the latest versions you are, the more likely something is going to prevent you from updating. Arch is the same way, but Steam OS is based on Arch snapshots, not a rolling release.

You kinda have to watch after rolling releases pretty constantly in order to keep them up to date and make sure they don’t get left behind.

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.

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.

Cool. I was going a little anxious, it being a few years since a Republican got us in a war in the Middle East. I’m not used to peace. /s

Torvalds should be nowhere near that man.

This is really unsettling. Like seeing Tesla and Edison.

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.

Warpinator is meant only to send/receive files and folders, and requires a supported device on both sides.

QuickDAV lets you send/receive/manage files (meaning you can copy and move files on the host from the client). It doesn’t require a supported device in both sides, since it works with either a WebDAV client or a browser. So as long as one device can run QuickDAV, and the other has at least a browser, it’ll work. (QuickDAV works with a Sega Dreamcast!)

Warpinator is incredibly easy to use. Open the app on both machines, select the other machine, select the file/folder, send.

QuickDAV is a bit harder. Open the app on one of the machines, then type the information from the app into the client/browser on the other machine. Then you can download/upload/manage.

It also has an older brother if you need a permanent WebDAV server:

https://hub.docker.com/r/sciactive/nephele

This is not a very popular app, but I use it all the time. Full disclosure, this is my own app, but it’s free and open source.

It’s for transferring and managing files and folders over your local network. I use it whenever I need to just ad-hoc move files between things.

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.
