I work for one of the largest Swiss ISPs, and these mailboxes are still to this day read by actual people (me included), so it's sometimes worthwhile even today.


I setup a new mail server with Stalwart and have been getting automated mails to my postmaster address (security treat results mostly).

Pretty neat.


I tried to contact Hetzner and others about customers scanning my ports. Nobody cares about that. I took issue when I kept getting firewall alerts for port scans on open Plex ports.

I went down a crazy rabbit hole and found a bunch of domains that were random parts of street addresses. Obviously created automatically and they were purposely trying to make it harder to find related domains.


Under what circumstances would commercial companies be required to buy a license?! If they provide Linking as a Service?


They probably wont NEED a license, but --as said-- big corps dont touch AGPL with a ten foot pole because legal. So it's just to shut up legal, most likely.


I do the exact same for Illumos, just ripped ideas from depenguin.me (which is how I previously installed FreeBSD after they discontinued the rescue system).


I haven't noticed any difference or problems with the Android TV application vs the Android or web client. What exactly is broken or not great for you?


The UI for selecting media only shows covers until you have your cursor over some specific media, which can leave you guessing if your album art isn't super descriptive.

Sync play is TERRIBLE with android TV. We tried watching a show over sync play on the LAN in two different rooms and it just constantly lost sync, commands didn't go through, etc. It was so bad we only tried it once.

Controlling the Android TV app from Jellyfin Mobile or web is awkward at best, basically unusable.


For me specific video files will freeze the app and render it unusable. It's really frustrating


If you encounter this, a good fix is to break out handbrake and to re-encode your files as web-optimized mp4. That helps with skipping video back and forth and quick loading.

The other thing to check is your transcoding setup. Sometimes the settings are not optimal and can cause playback issues.


I abandoned a Shield for Apple TV over the many issues on it. Should-be-supported codecs had problems that made many videos unusable. Plus bad UI jank in general, not just in Jellyfin. Shouldn’t have tried to cheap out, it’s not like I’ve never used Android before (I’ve developed for it… including for set-top devices) so I ought to have known better.


The only thing that does on my end is 4k HDR DolbyVision (no transcoding) and that is because it runs on a shitty firetv 4k max gen2. Kodi also cannot handle this on that device


How can you commit treason against a foreign country?


From a another foreign country too.

It's pretty similar to the US claiming jurisdiction over Ukrainians running torrent websites from Ukraine. Or over random Afghanis who share their first name (something extremely unique like Omar or Abdul or Mohamed) with a supposed terrorist, enough to kidnap to torture them.


If it's a foreigner it's possible, but it's called espionage or conspiracy


It was not a state actor. There were plenty of high profile people and projects being owned just for the fun of it back then.


Next we'll be hearing that ~el8 was a CIA front. :)


If a child chooses to get a USA passport, surely this means renouncing Japanese citizenship?


The USA doesn't care about your other passport, they won't make you do anything, or even know what you have to do according to the other country's laws.


I wish that worked both ways and that I didn't have to convince my bank that I'm not an American, I don't feel American or have ever been to the US just because the US has some shitty tax law.


This is a naïve question, but why on earth are unions isolated to one company so often in USA? Surely an industry-wide solution would be more effective.


Industry-wide unions have been stomped out over time, some by direct actions from companies or the government, some from corruption, some from propaganda campaigns. It is one of the many sad parts of being in the U.S.


I don't know the history exactly, but my assumption is that trying to bootstrap an industry-wide union from nothing is exceedingly difficult, while making one at a single company is much more viable. Presumably the idea would be to merge the company-specific ones into industry ones after they're more stable.


It's not a US thing, in my opinion. The industry based unions are currently very strong and some are on strike right now (nurses, auto workers, writers, actors). To me the idea of forming a new union to target a single employer seems like a losing strategy.


Nobody is forcing anyone to work for these scumbags. It is a choice.
