Jellyfin has Swiftfin, I’ve been using it for a few years now. There are some small bugs that you can work around. The rework to the new version has been in progress for about two years but it works just fine right now.

While I get their setup is amateurish, it's also a good reminder of how simple setups can be. Saying this on HN, of course.

> So their theory is incomplete as of yet. That's not good. I hard disagree. Your comment to me reads as if a paper should either prove a new theory or disprove an existing theory. However, publishing new results without a clear und

I don’t fully understand the problem this is trying to solve. Or at least, if this solves your problem then it feels like you have bigger problems? If you have staging/production deployments in CI/CD and have your Kubernetes clust

For a breed that is partly bred to flush out game, throwing a ball is incredibly adrenaline inducing and will not tire them out - they’ll just keep going till they fall down. Working cockers are one of the breeds susceptible to exercise ind

Wow, that is more dystopian than I was able to imagine. Let’s hope it doesn’t get to that.

What about this law will prevent criminals from using encrypted chat applications? I understand your point, but I fail to see how this law will change that.

While I mostly agree with you, but knives exist and Europe has a huge knife problem. Carrying knives is becoming common under teenagers.

How do you propose that should look? The whole show is to motivate people to want to pick up a book, which to me sounds like an emphasis on doing. If you’d replace this with posters or shows that just say “READ A BOOK”, it would not be as e

I think you underestimate how debilitating some disorders can be and the assistance a dog can give. If a person is unable to get a coffee without an assistance dog, and the dog is properly trained, why would you want to rob them of particip

I really disagree with the owners statement that therapy dogs should never be able to get licensed. If they go through the same training as current disability dogs, then what’s the problem exactly? There are enough non-visible disabilities

No, it’s already happening today. There is an arrest warrant out for Netanyahu. Netanyahu visited Hungary, a party of the Rome Statue, and was not arrested. In a similar vein, Poland has said Netanyahu would have been welcome to visit the l

That is definitely true. I can imagine the ICC would fall shortly after (since I think enough member states will not execute the arrest order and so it’s existence does not do much)

It is however appropriate for a group of nations to agree that a person who has committed crimes (according to them) is to be arrested upon entering one of their nations. It’s not really something you can or cannot concede to, unless you ar

How is it a threat to American sovereignty? It has no jurisdiction in America, only within nations that are party to the treaty - which is their sovereign right? Is a foreign nation convicting an American tourist for crimes in said nation a

Agreed! I see huge gains for small SRE teams aswell. I’m in a team of two with hundreds of bare metal machines under management - if issues pop up it can be stressful to quickly narrow your search window to a culprit. I’ve been contemplatin

The gap in pricing between enterprise and open source makes it impossible. If MinIO were to require a license to run, I’m sure I could convince a boss at work to pay several thousands a month for it. Currently, we are paying about 5000€&#x2

I don't disagree, but like I said to the other responder: All this applies to America now and we don't know how much worse this will get. > People bitching about the US and praising China are ridiculous. It's not bitching
