  • "Don't be evil"

    Jump

  • 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?

    Jump

  • 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

    Jump

  • 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 ?https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/8518

  • Jellyfin on windows, how do I cast to my Chromecast?

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Why not Signal?

    Jump

  • 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.

  • pls help an idiot - me --- Issue: shows are visible - episodes of said shows are not

    Jump

  • When you set up your libraries, it's important that you point the path at the root folder, jellyfin expects a fairly specific naming convention.Here's how it is suggested to setup your tv shows for instance: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/shows

    Simplistically, lets say you have 2 shows called "Friends" and "The Witcher", each with multiple seasons, and your NFS mount is /mnt/media.You'd create something like: /mnt/media/tvThat's where you'd point your tv library, at that "tv" directory. It doesn't actually matter what the directory is called, but the library should be of type "shows".Under that /mnt/media/tv directory, you would create a directory for each show, and it would be the name of that show, so you'd get: /mnt/media/tv/Friends/ and /mnt/media/tv/The Witcher/Then under those directories you would create seasons, to put your episodes in, ie /mnt/media/tv/The Witcher/Season 01/The Witcher - 01x01 - The End's Beginning.avi/mnt/media/tv/The Witcher/Season 01/The Witcher - 01x02 - Four Marks.avi

    If you pointed the root of your library at /mnt/media/tv/The Witcher/Season 01/, it would probably fail to parse the episodes.If you create your library as /mnt/media/allmystuff/ and just ram everything in there, it's unlikely to find anything.This may all seem a bit complicated, but there's lots of tools that are useful to automate this process.I personally recommend https://sonarr.tv/

    If you are doing all of the above correctly, we'll have to dig a bit deeper for more details.

    As for "unsupported formats", that most commonly happens when you have enabled hardware acceleration and it's not working properly.Whilst there's several reasons why it may not be working, to rule it out, try temporarily disabling Hardware Acceleration under Dashboard -> Playback -> Transcoding.The system should fall back to CPU transcoding which may be slow (hardware dependent), but at least it should function.

  • Twitter removed half its HQ sign — then the police arrived

    Jump

  • I don’t know if Leo cares about that anymore. He’s been saying he’s done with Twitter for a few weeks at least.

    At least a year.

    But in a recent TWIT (2 weeks ago maybe), all of the guest panelists admitted that they were all still maintaining their followings on Twitter and hopeful that they could move to Threads.

    It's all just whores being whores, which is what Elon is relying on.

  • Thoughts about Grace's sacrifical acts:

    I think there's a big difference between sacrificing yourself for unknown others, when someone else could potentially do it (or you can convince yourself of that) and knowing that someone you know and care about personally WILL DIE, and NO ONE else can do anything about it.

    Grace was always a good person, it's the personal stakes that changed.

  • If you value privacy, ditch Chrome and switch to Firefox now

    Jump

  • Yes, but you would be seeing ALL posts from everywhere your instance knows about.

    I kind of like the idea of being on lemmy.world, filtering to say aussie.zone and getting it to show me local.Or being able to simply get a list of every community on another instance.

    These are cool ideas.

  • The annoying thing to me is that it's taken a further 13 years to reach a point where another social network is feasible.I'm not saying there haven't been attempts like diaspora and the early mastadon etc, but now we're actually reaching a critical mass of participants where a move is worth it.

    The same is true of Signal. I've been using it for nearly a decade, but it's only in the last 2 years that people haven't rolled their eyes when I mention it's my preferred comms app.
