One of the reasons why videos don’t work well in Lemmy is that many instances have not configured their setup correctly for video streaming.

Not intentionally, but in high school we had a test on identification of flowers and plants. The teacher was an older man and he wasn’t good with computers. He was showing pictures from the computer using video projector but didn’t realize that Windows was displaying the filename of each picture in the title bar and each picture was named e.g. “daisy.jpg”. Almost the whole class got full marks on the test except for the unlucky few who sat in the back row and had poor eyesight.

I will let you know later how good I am at it.

I think it’s pretty weird.

Oh wow, I didn’t know abot his backstory. Oblivion and Skyrim would probably be very different games if he hadn’t survived that accident.

That’s cool. I’m sorry if it came across like I was criticizing your live stream, that wasn’t my intention. I just wanted to add the link to the actual event since it was missing from your post.

And now that you mention it, it is cool to have the whole event (or at least most of it) available as a VOD, if someone wants to put together more timelapses for example.

https://lemvotes.org/

It allows you to easily list users who upvoted or downvoted a post or comment. Most people don’t realize their votes are public, as Lemmy doesn’t display voters anywhere in the UI. The tool sparked quite a bit of debate when it was released, most of it unnecessary in my opinion as instance owners/admins, community moderators, and users of non-Lemmy software (like Mbin) can see vote information regardless.

Downloading VMware Workstation from Broadcom. They made it free but they definitely didn’t make getting it easy. What’s worse, in-app updates have been broken since Broadcom takeover, meaning you need to navigate their shitty website every time you want to update.

Every account on reddit fediverse is a bot except you.

Jokes aside, I haven’t noticed anything. I don’t really see what would anyone gain by setting up bots posing as real humans. Especially on Fediverse. I’m not saying it’s never happening but I don’t think it’s very common.

Umm… Why would anyone watch the live stream as they can literally watch it live at https://canvas.fediverse.events/

I only included pages from the English Wikipedia. There was quite a few visits to Wikipedia in my native language too.

Google Play took it’s sweet time to give me the update, but now it finally did and I too can confirm the issue seems to have been resolved. I didn’t need to clear cache or anything like some of the others reported.

Thx for the quick fix!

Nothing major, but I have two stories that have stuck with me. I’m not superstitious or anything, and obviously these are just coincidences, but it’s interesting how the human mind loves finding connections between things even when there aren’t any.

One morning in 2020, during the covid lockdowns, I woke up to the sound of a small bird pecking at my bedroom window. It was really going at it and wouldn’t fly away even after opening the blinds. For some reason, I wanted to take a picture of it, and just as I grabbed my phone, it rang and I got the news that my grandmother had passed away during the night. Right then, I noticed the bird flying away. My partner at the time insisted it was my grandma saying her final goodbyes. While I don’t believe that, the memory of that moment has stuck with me, and it still makes my eyes water a bit.

The second incident also involves a bird, funnily enough. A friend and I were driving to a national park for an overnight hiking trip when we accidentally drove over something on a small forest road. I didn’t see it, but my friend said it looked like a small bird. I wanted to stop and check, but my friend, who was driving, just kept going. I jokingly said something like "Now we have bad karma, and the whole trip will get ruined somehow.” And would you know it, that very same day an unexpected heatwave hit the area, making the entire hike pretty miserable. This has become a running joke between us, every time we go hiking, we joke about how everything will go fine, as long as we can get there without running over anything on the way.

Thanks. This is kinda important info so I’ve edited my initial comment.

They are not saying anything on why they are removing it.

Jellyfin is dropping HTTPS support with a future update[…]

What’s the source for this? I wasn’t able to find anything with a quick google search

I see everyone in this thread recommending a VPN or reverse proxy for accessing Jellyfin from outside the LAN. While I generally agree, I don’t see a realistic risk in exposing Jellyfin directly to the internet. It supports HTTPS and certificates nowadays, so there’s no need for outside SSL termination anymore. (See Edit 2)

In my setup, which I’ve been running for some time, I’ve port-forwarded only Jellyfin’s HTTPS port to eliminate the possibility of someone ending up on pure HTTP and sending credentials unencrypted. I’ve also changed the Jellyfin’s default port to a non-standard one to avoid basic port-scanning bots spamming login attempts. I fully understand that this falls into the security through obscurity category, but no harm in it either.

Anyone wanna yell at me for being an idiot and doing everything wrong? I’m genuinely curious, as the sentiment online seems to be that at least a reverse proxy is almost mandatory for this kind of setup, and I’m not entirely sure why.

Edit: Thank you everyone for your responses. While I don’t agree with everything, the new insight is appreciated.

Edit 2: I’ve been informed that infact the support for HTTPS will be removed in a future version. From v10.11 release notes:

Deprecation Notice: Jellyfin’s internal handling of TLS/SSL certificates and configuration in the web server will be removed in a future version. No changes to the current system have been made in 10.11, however future versions will remove the current system and instead will provide advanced instructions to configure the Kestrel webserver directly for this relatively niche usecase. We strongly advise anyone using the current TLS options to use a Reverse Proxy for TLS termination instead if at all possible, as this provides a number of benefits

Usually the gear is retracted almost immediately after takeoff, as it creates a huge amount of unnecessary drag if left out when not needed.

They’re also not saying it couldn’t have happened, are they? They’re waiting for investigators to gather all the facts before making any statements, just like they should.

Meanwhile, we here on the internet are just speculating based on the limited information available (basically just the video footage). Based on the current information we have, my opinion is that pilot error is the most likely cause.

You’re free to disagree about the likelihood of different scenarios, but right now we have no evidence that makes the theory of the pilots accidentally retracting the flaps instead of the gear impossible or “absurd.” It’s really counterproductive to start ruling out scenarios without concrete proof.
