Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Jellyfin critical security update - This is not a jokeEnglish
1182·2 days agoThank you for posting this. I tend to get a lot of my opensource project info from Lemmy so people who take the time to post it are awesome.
Just updated my home instance. Can confirm that 10.11.7 is available in the Debian repos and the update went perfect. I got a new kernel in the same update : D

Technology@lemmy.world•Sony Shuts Down Nearly Its Entire Memory Card Business Due to SSD ShortageEnglish
2·3 days agoI’ve been dreading the new computer as well. I built the original incarnation of my current one in … holy shit, late 2013. I was thinking 2016 but I just looked up the order and it was 2013. I did it pretty damn “top of the line” because I wanted it to last ages. I have occasionally upgraded or replaced drives, GPU, RAM, power supply, but I’m still on the original board+CPU.
It’s still great… running Linux and occasionally gaming.
That’s mostly correct. If we want to be super technical, I’m not “logging in” to my router, just using it as a Tailscale network bridge to gain LAN access so I can SSH from my phone to my server. But, in general, yeah.
I currently don’t allow any direct access to my server from the internet. The only way to access it is Tailscale. I have Tailscale installed on both my desktop (always on) and my router (also, always on). The reason I installed it on the router is because my desktop is also full disk encrypted. So, if there’s a power outage then both the server and desktop will reboot and both will be waiting for LUKS unlock, rendering my desktop useless as a Tailscale jump point.
Since the router boots automatically then it will always start back up and allow Tailscale access after an outage and therefore I can use it to access my LAN and SSH to the server to enter the password.
Basically the same setup you’ve got with the RPi - having a node that comes online automatically after a power outage, automatically starts Tailscale, and allows LAN access. You use an RPi, I use my router. (I briefly did the exact same thing as you, with an RPi, until I found I could install it on the router : )
I used Mint for about a decade. When I upgraded the drives on my desktop RAID from 2TB to 14TB the newest version only recognized 999GB. After some troubleshooting I begrudgingly tried Ubuntu, same thing. I figured Debian would be the same since that’s Grandma but I tried anyway. It worked perfect so I’ve been on Debian for a few years now and haven’t noticed any big differences so here I’ll stay.
Love me some Debian

I’mwe’re crazy for not getting a new phone every year or two. Previous one lasted 7 years, this one is at a bit over 5 years… It’s fine.

You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK that uBlock Origin has non-default filters to block cookie consent notices
15·6 days agoStackOverflow was my inclination for searching this last week because it pops up the massive cookie banner on EVERY single page load for me. I enabled both the “Cookie Notices” and “Annoyances” lists at the same time - one of them handled it and I think it was Annoyances if I’m remembering correctly.
Try enabling that one too if you haven’t already.

EDIT: Just realized I need to enable the social widgets list too : D
I’m still burning CDs too… not sure what’s up with these other goobs.

6·7 days agoThe one I work at went “all in” about a month ago. I started noticing a dramatic increase in garbage/nonsensical code at the end of last week. I didn’t make the connection between the two until Tuesday.
I’ve got a manager that usually listens and they asked me to try it and take notes because they know I’ll tell them the truth. … I’ve got a lot of examples prepped for our next meeting.
The hard part is definitively blaming LLMs because I don’t have time to track down every single commit and analyze it for LLM usage but there’s 100% a correlation.

I need to add this to my list to re-add…

Like other posts - brother, laser.
My ancient HP laserjet died a few months back so I picked up a brother. It amazed me that I just plugged it in (Linux) and it worked. No hplip, no cups config, just worked.
Even more impressive, I tried the network/wifi print out of curiosity and it also just worked… Nothing special, Debian 13 auto discovered it on the network and added it to my printer list.
I had the HP for over 15 years and it was always a bitch to get working with Linux. Hoping this brother lasts at least as long.

8·15 days agoMy first thought was “you said you don’t like bibi, therefore you clearly support Hamas, therefore you support terrorist groups, so I’ll just go ahead and take your citizenship.”
Also, weed is a felony so getting caught smoking on your back porch could kick off the process of stripping citizenship.
I’m sure that would never be abused…

Programming@programming.dev•AI still doesn't work very well, businesses are faking it, and a reckoning is coming
61·16 days agoMy company is pushing LLM code assistants REALLY hard (like, you WILL use it but we’re supposedly not flagging you for termination if you don’t… yet). My experience is the same as yours - unit tests are one of the places where it actually seems to do pretty good. It’s definitely not 100%, but in general it’s not bad and does seem to save some time in this particular area.
That said, I did just remove a test that it created that verified that
IMPORTED_CONSTANT is equal to localUnitTestConstantWithSameHardcodedValueAsImportedConstant. It passed ; )


















You’re correct.
The only time I can think of that this approach wouldn’t work is if the quadlet config file specified a tag/version on the
imagesetting besideslatest. That is, if the quadlet file specified something likeImage=docker.io/jellyfin/jellyfin:a_old_version. I usually stick withlateston mine.EG:
Image=docker.io/jellyfin/jellyfin:latest
