I didn't see that word in there. I did see something like "stupid sack of shit" but I don't recall seeing that specific slur. Maybe I missed it, can't see the link anymore though.

Honest question: where is there a slur in that link? I'm not sure if I'm just missing it or if there's a word I don't know is considered a slur now in there.

When your entire manufacturing process is run on the back of slaves, the product is cheap enough that the shipping cost doesn't matter.

The further we get from 9/11, the more impossible it is to even conceptualize the future. Like, idk what kind of jacked up shit happened to the timeline that day, but it was bad. Maybe tower 7 was the fucking gateway to the multiverse and some Doctor Who shenanigans happened when it fell.

We've reached the point where MTG and Candace Owens are actually saying reasonable things that no one in leadership positions is allowed to say. I sincerely do not know what could possibly happen next.

I don't think you can advocate for anything even remotely on the "right" in political discussions anymore unless you mean MAGA. That well is so poisoned at this point that everyone is going to assume you're a MAGA troll wearing a mask the second you voice any right-leaning opinion.

It's pretty unfortunate. There are plenty of "live and let live" types in the US that identify informally as libertarians and would make great allies.

Brother, what Lemmy instance do you think this community is on? You aren't going to get a good discussion with this topic here.

 

This might brush up against rule #5, but I don't think it crosses it. It's really more philosophy than politics.

Really great explanation of the environment and incentives that anyone in a position of power will deal with and how they remove leaders from reality. Nothing new if you're even passingly familiar with philosophy, but still a good watch.

This does not appear to be true. There was a bit of budget fuckery, and the state was certainly impacted by tariffs/deportation/bullshit caused by Trump, but there doesn't appear to be anything to back up this tweet.

Not a mod, but this violates rule #3 and should probably be removed:

Posts should use high-quality sources, and posts about an article should have the same headline as that article. You may edit your post if the source changes the headline.

There's a jillion real things to post about here. No need to spread misinformation just because it sounds like something you'd want to be true.

Employees have to pay for basically everything in the US, so salaries have to be a lot higher here. School, childcare, healthcare, retirement, you name it. Also, all those things are more expensive here because they're provided by companies that need to make a profit. It sucks.

[–] thundermoose@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Listed salaries are almost always what the employee pays, not what it costs the company. In the US, this includes the payroll tax, and cost of "benefits," like healthcare and unemployment insurance, and is referred to as the burdened rate. This is separate from the income tax the employee has to pay to the government, mind you.

The burdened rate for most employees at the companies I've worked for in the US is like 20-50% higher than the salary paid. Not sure exactly how it works in France, but I do know there's a pretty complex payroll tax companies have to pay. I think it's something like 40% at the salary you quoted.

I'm not sure if you know this, but...that doesn't fix most of the security issues in the linked list. All the reverse proxy does is handle hostname resolution and TLS termination (if you are using TLS). If the application being proxies still has an unauthenticated API, anyone can access it. If there's an RCE vulnerability in any of them, you might get hacked.

I run Jellyfin publicly, but I do it behind a separate, locked-down reverse proxy (e.g., it explicitly hangs up any request for a Host header other than Jellyfin's), in a kubernetes cluster, and I keep its pod isolated in its own namespace with restricted access to everything local except to my library via read-only NFS volumes hosted on a separate TrueNAS box. If there is any hack, all they get access to is a container that can read my media files. Even that kind of bothers me, honestly.

The overwhelming majority of Jellyfin users do not take precautions like this and are likely pretty vulnerable. Plex has a security team to address vulnerabilities when they happen, so those users would likely be a lot safer. I appreciate the love for FOSS on Lemmy, but it is scary how little most folks here acknowledge the tradeoffs they are making.

[–] thundermoose@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

All I can say is that is not at all like my experience with Jellyfin. Every person I've ever shared it with wanted to go back to Plex. Most complaints had to do with the jankiness of the various apps. Lots of issues with the UIs acting funny, a few connection drops, and some settings not getting respected. I do also recall an episode of Severance that would not stream in the correct color space in Jellyfin but worked perfectly in Plex.

[–] thundermoose@lemmy.world 12 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I'm not interested in setting all that up and maintaining it for every user I share with. For myself, this is exactly how I access Jellyfin remotely, but I am not explaining to my remote family members how to set up a VPN on their TV.

 

Not sure if there's a pre-existing solution to this, so I figured I'd just ask to save myself some trouble. I'm running out of space in my Gmail account and switching email providers isn't something I'm interested in. I don't want to pay for Google Drive and I already self-host a ton of other things, so I'm wondering if there is a way to basically offload the storage for the account.

It's been like 2 decades since I set up an email server, but it's possible to have an email client download all the messages from Gmail and remove them from the server. I would like to set up a service on my servers to do that and then act as mail server for my clients. Gmail would still be the outgoing relay and the always-on remote mailbox, but emails would eventually be stored locally where I have plenty of space.

All my clients are VPN'd together with Tailscale, so the lack of external access is not an issue. I'm sure I could slap something roughshod together with Linux packages but if there's a good application for doing this out there already, I'd rather use it and save some time.

Any suggestions? I run all my other stuff in Kubernetes, so if there's one with a Helm chart already I'd prefer it. Not opposed to rolling my own image if needed though.

To preface this, I've used Linux from the CLI for the better part of 15 years. I'm a software engineer and my personal projects are almost always something that runs in a Linux VM or a Docker container somewhere, but I've always used a Mac to work on personal and professional projects. I have a Windows desktop that I use exclusively for gaming and my personal Macbook is finally giving out after about 10 years, so I'm trying out Linux Mint with Cinnamon on my desktop.

So far, it works shockingly well and I absolutely love being able to reach for a real Linux shell anytime I want, with no weird quirks from MacOS or WSL. The fact that Steam works at all on a Linux environment is still a little magical to me.

There are a couple things I really miss from MacOS and Rectangle is one of them. I've spent a couple hours searching and trying out various solutions, but none of them do the specific thing Rectangle did for me. You input something like ctrl+cmd+right and Rectangle fits your current window to the top right quadrant of your screen.

Before I dive into the weeds and make my own Cinnamon Spice, I figured I should just ask: is there an app/extension that functions like Rectangle for Linux? Here's the things I can say do not work:

  • Muffin hotkeys: Muffin only supports moving tiles, not absolutely positioning them. You can kind of mimic Rectangle behavior, but only with multiple keystrokes to move the windows around on the grid.
  • gTile: This is a Cinnamon Spice that I'm pretty sure has the bones of what I want in it, but the UI is the opposite of what I want.
  • gSnap: Very similar to gTile, but for Gnome. The UI for it is actually quite a bit worse, IMO; you are expected to use a mouse to drag windows.
  • zentile: On top of this only working for XFCE, it doesn't actually let me position windows with a keystroke

To be super clear: Rectangle is explicitly not a tiling window manager. It lets you set hotkeys to move/resize windows, it does not reflow your entire screen to a grid. There are a dozen tiling tools/window manager out there I've found and I've begun to think the Linux community has a weird preoccupation with them. Like, they're cool and all, but all I want is to move the current window to specific areas of my screen with a single keystroke. I don't need every window squished into frame at once or some weird artsy layout.
