meta and ctrl switched, because if there’s something apple did right it’s using the thumb as modifier key for copy/paste/etc instead of pinkie finger which is far FAR less able to deal with repeat strain

but i also type programmers dvorak because i got pretty horrible wrist pain at one point so anything to stop me damaging my wrists :p

…button

which they handled about as well as you can: prompt and clear notification without trying to pass the buck

the potential of a data breach is just a fact of life with any SAAS product - bugs happen… and it’s exactly the SAAS part of the product that makes the invites/login/aggregation of servers so smooth

there are some admin endpoints that are authenticated using any local IP, but the method they use allows spoofing the IP so those endpoints become accessible essentially without authentication

there were some other issues to do with unauthenticated enumeration and playback of content i believe too

i’m not likely to wrangle installing and maintaining wireguard on my mums cheap smart tv

and if that’s the solution, as i said you get plex local playback so that’s free still anyway

my main issues

• jellyfin has known security vulnerabilities and shouldn’t be run on a public network. that means everyone using your server remotely needs to be on a VPN… and then you may as well use plex because it’s “local” so the remote streaming thing doesn’t apply
• swiftfin (which i need for apple tv) doesn’t support media segments

the thing that everyone always glosses over is that jellyfin should not be run on a public network. it has known security vulnerabilities… that includes VPN remote proxy, so now you have to have external users on your actual VPN, and if that’s the case then plex will work fine because it’s “local”, and has a lot more features

(and my main issue: media segments don’t work on swiftfin)

the mozilla foundation is largely responsible for the whole adtech and ai slop nonsense that nobody asked for

the mozilla corporation is responsible for firefox. there is no way to support firefox development

yeah viable is such a variable concept

i guess like… i have a friend that is a lab tech, and he vibe coded a stand alone HTML and JS page for their team to take CSV and filter it… the excel process they used before was horrendous… in that case, i guess that’s a viable product: it works, isn’t buggy (or at least bugs will become well known and able to be manually avoided or worked around)… i’d say that’s an MVP but wouldn’t be so if you wanted to productise it

vibe coding is trash for MVPs… it’ll get you there, but as always the achilles heel of vibe coding is maintenance and bugs

vibe coding is great for a POC, but the defining difference between a POC and an MVP is that a POC is made to be thrown out, doesn’t have to work all the time (you can say “ah yup just need to give it a kick” when you’re showing it off and manually intervene)

vibe coding is good to show a basic, unmaintainable, non-production version of a feature of function, but then you need to take that and manually build it into your MVP - perhaps by copying some minor parts of the POC, but verifying every step

perhaps for that particular group… though i had a friend whose old af macbook air had stopped updating literally years ago, and he still used it because it still worked… but then apps slowly stopped working

i installed linux on it, and he was actually really keen to give linux itself a go, and it worked great for him!

i gave him an old macbook a little while after that, and he’s back on macos now, but he said he’d switch back in a heartbeat if there were problems (slowness, update compatibility, etc)

i guess the thing being he’s not really technical enough to care about the OS other than outcomes, but also was actually interested in linux itself to learn for the sake of it… he’s a lab tech, and vibe codes data manipulation tools, so not a lot of IT-related skills, but always interested in learning

it’s not technically legal afaik… the license defines a user pretty rigorously

you might be able to try a live version of a distro to see how your hardware functions before taking the plunge

that’s not entirely true for windows. windows does have containers natively, and there is a native docker engine for windows that runs native software

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowscontainers/manage-docker/configure-docker-daemon

they also support containerd and some other runtimes

in certainly not an advocate for windows, but it does exist if you’re a complete masochist

it was always wild to be back in the day when so many container images were based on ubuntu… was like PLEASE debian is functionally identical here at like 1/10th the base container size!

Also docker is not on homebrew

Except that it is

https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/docker

Casks and formulas handle basically anything: non-redistributable binaries, installers, etc

my advice is to learn the platform and stop fighting it

Absolutely it… there’s a load of Mac utilities and norms I miss when I use Linux, and visa versa: it’s just different platforms… neither is better; they’re just different

which is so upsetting because dear FUCK does FOSS need a modern FS

ah! sorry i misread/misunderstood privacy to mean security in your comment :)

you sir/maam have not seen the netflix talk on using IPv6 for their full internal stack because of inefficiencies allocating IPv4 ranges i’m guessing

many “unused” IP addresses are unused because they’re kinda like having spare parts: if you’re planning on extending your network in the futures, your IP block kinda should reflect your end state (ie the parts you need over time to replace or “build” new hosts)

or for blue/green deployments where it’s likely that at least half the IP range will be used in terms of process, but unused most of the time in terms of reachability

and then there’s weird things with splitting up IP blocks into subnets with a division of 3 (the minimum needed for dealing with net splits etc) - eg across availability zones… there are always “waste” IPs because you can’t divide multiples of 8 cleaning into 3
