Same here. I have three models of Zebra printers and they were all pretty much plug and play with Linux.

Blockchain isn’t really a great storage mechanism for large files, it is good for small transactions/records. This is why most NFTs are just links to content instead of storing the content in the blockchain itself. It is possible to store that data in the chain but you usually pay transaction fees based on the size of that data. To store the data in the chain everyone participating in the chain would need a full copy of every video posted which isn’t really feasible long term.

It is also nearly impossible to moderate. i.e. how do you remove illegal CSAM content from something that is designed to be immutable.

So storing data like this is just not the right use case for blockchain.

Someone could create a site based on a blockchain where you distribute links to videos, but those links would still need to be stored somewhere else. You really aren’t gaining much beyond just hosting the content yourself.

The only valid use case would be if you are attempting to avoid government influence that might try to modify your content later, or able to prove that you are the one posting the content. You could use the blockchain to post a link to a video and the hash of the file to verify it is the correct file, then anyone with access to the chain would have a record of who posted it and a way to validate that the content hasn’t been modified.

There are federated options like PeerTube that are close to what you want but without the blockchain issues.

I think the better solution is if the company is so important that it needs to be bailed out, then should just get nationalized when it fails.

Our money goes towards bailing them out, but the public owns it after that. The shareholders that ran it into the ground shouldn’t get to keep it.

If you want the search to be flexible like handling things like root stemming (i.e. for matching words that are pluralized etc) you might want to put the text into an Elasticsearch database.

You might run into problems with the field length if these are long documents. A possible solution to that would be an putting each page into its own field inside of the document.

If this is for a non tech user to search, the Kibana interface should be relatively easy for anyone to use.

The biggest question is going to be will the AI be able to run locally or will they use it as an excuse to turn the game into a subscription.

I can see it now… “The game needs to make calls to OpenAI that we have to pay for to generate dialog so we need to charge by the month for the game”

They will finally have an excuse to turn single player games into subscriptions as well.

Using AI in games isn’t about AI coding. Using AI to code games is likely already in almost every studio.

When they say AI in games that means AI artwork, voice lines, environments, etc.

i.e. imagine NPCs that change their voice lines based on recent events like recently completed missions, or your player looks/equipment/etc. With AI you don’t have to pre-record a near infinite amount of voice lines they can be generated on the fly.

It’s not like they want to punish you for paying off your car.

The reality is that a high percentage of the population loads up on more debt after paying off current debts, so the algorithm reflects that. Usually those points come back after a couple of months.

Actually I believe host networking would be the one case where this isn’t an issue. Docker isn’t adding iptables rules to do NAT masquerading because there is no IP forwarding being done.

When you tell docker to expose a port you can tell it to bind to loopback and this isn’t an issue.

I always see this argument but I really don’t want anything plugged into anything as important as the USB-C port while the phone is in my pocket.

3.5 plugs are rather short outside of the phone (at least for headphones with 90deg plugs) to minimize leverage that you put on the port. Being able to rotate also means less stress on the port as well.

The USB-C adapters are pretty short, but lack the rotation. I have replaced USB-C ports in dozens of Nintendo Switches and other devices, it is pretty clear they aren’t designed to take much stress.

Long story short if anything happens I would much rather have the 3.5mm pin stuck in a headphone jack than breaking the USB-C port and making it so my phone is a brick.

I don’t use the WebOS app but generally default subtitles/audio languages are set on your profile and the apps pick up those settings.

Try logging in to the web interface and going to your user profile. There is a “Playback” section where you can set your preferred languages. If this isn’t set it likely is taking the default language from your media files instead.

+1 to this.

First check that you can get to Jellyfin on your Jellyfin server itself (start with the IP address). This makes sure that the service is running, and that you are trying to access the right port/protocol.

If that works, try the web browser on your phone or any other device on your network next. If that fails it tells you there are firewall or DNS issues.

Laws can easily have exceptions for these things. In China for instance “non approved” VPNs are illegal, but there are plenty of legal VPNs as well.

For instance businesses can get approval for their own VPNs, and regular people can use some free/paid VPNs within the country, but presumably the government can see all of the traffic within those.

My prediction is that this is more about banning VPNs than about age verification. Start with this, then when everyone is “using VPNs to break the law” they have an excuse to ban VPNs.

Governments world wide likely see VPNs as incredibly dangerous. Plenty of examples of countries like Iran cutting off the internet entirely to prevent protests from organizing.

I think they want their own great firewall.

Presumably the cert would be a smart card (similar to credit card chips) protected with a pin. And they can use revocation lists to remove cards that are reported stolen.

There would have to be a serial number at the least but that would change every time your card expired, and the government would certainly know who is issued what serial.

Another downside is users would need smart card or NFS readers to use them. Smart cards have been around for digital identification for decades now, it’s really surprising that more government haven’t pushed their use. From a user perspective though it would be pretty quick that every online service would start requiring them and any online anonymity would erode pretty quickly.

Even with https if you aren’t on TLS 1.3 the SNI (server name indicator) is not encrypted so the hostname you are trying to access would be visible to your ISP.

Forcing your browser to only use TLS1.3 would fix that but who knows how many sites it would break.

Unauthorized VPNs (non government approved) are illegal in China. If a business needs their own they can get approval but they have to apply for those exceptions.

It isn’t really enforced, probably especially so for non citizens, but if you do something they don’t like it is something they could use against you.

You would probably be less breaking the law to just directly open up SSH and access that instead of tunneling through a VPN. Even though SSH can do tunneling of its own.

Connection refused is generally a network level issue meaning that a firewall is rejecting the tcp handshake, or more likely samba is not listening on that IP.

So you are attempting to connect to your samba server and the OS (not Samba) is saying there is no service running on that port so I am refusing your connection request.

So you have one of these problems

• Samba isn’t running in the first place
• Samba is crashing, systemd might be restarting it so if this problem is intermittent this is most likely
• you have firewall issues (you said firewall was off, but are they on the same subnet? Might be other firewalls in your network rejecting the connection?)
• Samba is listening on a different interface. I see you have lo/eth0 in your config most distros don’t use eth0 anymore are you sure that is correct?

Even if those interface names are correct sometimes network managers rename interfaces. So when Samba starts that might be the wrong interface name, but by the time you login it is correct. I would just remove that line and the bind interfaces only line as well unless you specifically need to bind to specific interfaces.

Try connecting to samba from the server itself on 127.0.0.1, which will probably work just fine because lo is probably a correct interface.

You can also look at what interfaces/IP samba is listening on by running one of these commands as root

ss -tlp | grep 445

netstat -nlp | grep 445

Your $1 has absolutely changed in value by 10pm. What do you think inflation is? It might not be enough change for the store to bother changing prices but the value changes constantly.

Watch the foreign exchange markets, your $1 is changing in value compared to every other currency constantly.

The only difference between fiat and crypto is that changing the prices in the store is difficult, and the volume of trade is high enough to reduce volatility in the value of your $. There are plenty of cases of hyperinflation in history where stores have to change prices on a daily basis, meaning that fiat is not immune to volatility.

To prevent that volatility we just have things like the federal reserve, debt limits, federal regulations, etc that are designed to keep you the investor (money holders) happy with keeping that money in dollars instead of assets. The value is somewhat stable as long as the government is solvent.

Crypto doesn’t have those external controls, instead it has internal controls, i.e. mining difficulty. Which from a user perspective is better because it can’t be printed at will by the government.

Long story short fiat is no different than crypto, there is no real tangible value, so value is what people think it is. Unfortunately crypto’s value is driven more by speculative “investors” than by actual trade demand which means it is more volatile. If enough of the world changed to crypto it would just as stable as your $.

Not saying crypto is a good thing just saying that it isn’t any better or worse. It needs daily usage for real trade by a large portion of the population to reduce the volatility, instead of just being used to gamble against the dollar.

Our governments would likely never let that happen though, they can’t give up their ability to print money. It’s far easier to keep getting elected when you print the cash to operate the government, than it is to raise taxes to pay for the things they need.

The absolutely worthless meme coin scams/forks/etc are just scammers and gamblers trying to rip each other off. They just make any sort of useful critical mass of trade less and less plausible because it gives all crypto a bad name. Not that Bitcoin/Ethereum started out any different but now that enough people are using them splitting your user base is just self defeating

Yeah it is pretty bad when an emulator offers a better experience than even a modded Switch.

Easy to load your choice of directory sync tool (i.e. NextCloud Sync Client/Synology Drive Client/etc, or Google Drive/OneDrive if you are on Windows) pointed at your emulators save directory and have your own automatic cloud sync that you have full control over, built in versioning, the works.

Nope, the switch only keeps saves on the internal storage or synced to their cloud if you pay for it. When doing transfers between devices like this there is no copy option only a move and delete.

There are some legitimate reasons they want to prevent this like preventing users from duplicating items in multiplayer games, etc. Even if you got access to the files they are encrypted so that only your user can use them.

I think the bigger reason they do this is there are occasionally exploits that are done through corrupted saves. So preventing the user from importing their own saves helps protect the switch from getting soft modded.

If you mod your switch you can get access to the save files and since it has full access it can also decrypt them, so that you can back them up. One of several legitimate reasons to mod your switch.
