And the Internet comes to a halt as every company around fights to develop an install base with the span of the current major players.
Not that I’m a fan of the mass surveillance system our current internet entails, but having a major influx of less technically competent companies creating their own networks and site plugins is just asking for an even more chaotic security landscape.
I think I can see where they’re going with it, but it is a bit hard to write out
Say I set up my favorite service in house, and said service has a client app. If I create my own DNS at home and point the client to the entry, and the service is running an encrypted connection with a self signed cert it can give the client app fits for being untrusted.
Compare that to putting NPM in front of the app, using it to get a LetsEncrypt cert using the DNS record option (no need to have LE reach the service publicly) and now you have a trusted cert signed by a public CA for the client app to connect to.
I actually do the same for a couple internal things that I want the local traffic secured because I don’t want creds to be sniffable on the wire, but they’re not public facing. I already have a domain for other public things so it doesn’t cost anything extra to do it this way.
Epstein’s buddy said what?
I was probably using Emby already by then, had bought a lifetime license since it didn’t require bouncing things off and outside server like Plex did (or was it that Plex was a renewing subscription, I forget) , so it just stayed out of inertia.
I can’t say I’ve given Jellyfin a proper try (as in using it and the clients exclusively for a long period) but we have been using Emby for quite a while before I knew it existed.
If I’m not mistaken Jellyfin is actually a fork of Emby so they’re pretty similar, but one is a bit older.
Pretty sure that’s where I played it. In an era where having a round head on your character was good graphics it was pretty fun.
Trump doesn’t have major shifts, he has momentary whims based on what he thinks will gain him praise and/or money.
Is there a handy list somewhere to defed from? I don’t expect them to gain any traction unless they had an existing user base before, but would be nice to keep communal running tab.
The switch has been made
Burn Trump in effigy instead, hell there’s a capitalist opportunity that he should get behind here since you know the demand would be there.
