    I love the top gear reference, but surely May would have been the obvious choice, Hammond is just asking for a crash!

    I agree with the division you propose, but I don't think we've got the traffic here yet.
    It was a happy day for me when I could stop posting news articles in /r/AusGuns, but it was when we reached like 1500 subs and there was about a dozen random posts a day occurring.

    This whole episode is giving me flashbacks to the ActiveX days.

    The tyranny of the default.

    "Here mum, I've installed Firefox for you, it's better than Chrome in every way!"
    "My knitting circle website doesn't work, I can't download patterns, it says I need Chrome"

    Internet Explorer was effectively abandon-ware for a decade after Microsoft used their OS pseudo-monopoly to crush Netscape.
    It took another tech giant abusing THEIR monopoly to relegate IE to the trash heap it should have already been on.

    So you won't use your banks website?
    Or your utilities (gas/water/electricity/internet)?
    You won't let your kids use the portal at their school for submitting assignments?
    Your government sites for renewing your drivers license or scheduling hard refuse pickup?

    I can think of lots of reasons that will force me to have chrome installed if this goes ahead.

  • Is Lemmy.World refederated with Beehaw.org?
  • Mountaineer Mountaineer 1y ago 100%

    My understanding is that no one on that instance can see any of us on any instance.
    So no, they couldn't post to lemmy.world.
    They could post to somewhere we both federate too, such as lemmy.ml and we would be able to see that post, but if we respond to them, they wouldn't see our post.

  • Jellyfin only ever shows a single movie and metadata doesnt appear to get scraped
  • Mountaineer Mountaineer 1y ago 100%

    I can't see that log, the url appears to be truncated.
    This is a weird one.
    I assume your movie library in Jellyfin is targetted at the root? /media/Filme ?
    I also assume you have your localisation set to french, have you tried temporarily setting it to us english and restarting the docker instance?
    I've seen weird things happen if the docker instance starts before the mount, so if /data/Filme is a mount, it's worth manually restarting your instance:
    sudo docker restart jellyfin

    Do you have nested libraries? Like a library pointed at /media and another one pointed at /media/Filme and maybe another at /media/Filme/Comedies ?

  • Jellyfin on windows, how do I cast to my Chromecast?
  • Mountaineer Mountaineer 1y ago 100%

    I'm pretty sure Firefox doesn't know how to cast, that's a chrome feature.
    Secondly, a chromecast dongle can either be targetted locally by an app (such as chrome) or over the internet via https.
    If you are just hosting on your windows laptop, you probably don't have a domain with TLS, yes?
    From localhost (the laptop itself), if you run chrome, you can probably cast to your dongle whilst on the same LAN.

    If you have one of the newer Chromecasts with the remote, you can simply install the Jellyfin app on it directly, and address your Jellyfin install by IP and port.

    Plex uses some fancy redirection work around these limitations, but it relies on an external service that they provide.

  • Australia's space industry 'in limbo' after key programs axed
  • Mountaineer Mountaineer 1y ago 100%

    There's some nuance missed here.

    The "observation program" mentioned here, was a $1.2 billion program that was announced in the last days of the previous government.
    There were no contracts, no tenders, just a vague proposal with a nebulous tax funded dollar figure attached.
    The sector as a whole was using that announcement to entice investors in their own startups.
    Now that it has been axed, the startups are struggling to gather further financing in what looks like a shaky industry.

  • Greens decry property tax breaks costing 78 times what Labor proposes to spend on social housing
  • Mountaineer Mountaineer 1y ago 100%

    Labor is just a little right.
    Our other major party, who are far more to the right call themselves the "Liberals".
    When a new minor party started calling themselves the "Liberal Democrats" (espousing Libertarian values), the Liberals complained to the Australian Electoral Commission (who are in charge of running elections) that the Liberal Democrats were deliberately trying to cause brand confusion, they were promptly told that the Liberal Democrats name was far closer to the actual meaning of the words.
    It's all a bit of a farse.

  • Why not Signal?
  • Mountaineer Mountaineer 1y ago 100%

    It's irrelevant to this community which is pro signal.

    Signal provides a user experience comparable to iMessage in terms of features and ease of use, but with the big plus of cross platform compatibility.
    That may not be what you personally are after, but it's what 99.99% of potential Signal users are after.

    Signal tieing into the social graph we already have on our phones as user identifiers is a big win for 99.99% of users.
    Signal being run through a centralised location is a big win for the 99.99% of users who don't want to host their own servers, or find someone to do it for them.
    Signal attempting to earn income through things like money transfer is a good thing for the 99.99% of users who don't want to have themselves monetized in a different way (such as through showing users ads).

    If a nation state wants to spy on you, you better be important enough to a different nation state that they protect you.
    Because choosing to send GPG encrypted messages over XMPP isn't going to help you.
