  • Anubis is awesome and I want to talk about it

    Jump

  • Inspired by this post I spent a couple of hours today trying to set this up on my toy server, only to immediately run into what seems to be a bug where <video> tags loading a simple WebM video from right next to index.html broke because the media response got Anubis's HTML bot check instead of media.

    I suppose my use-case was just too complicated.

  • People have audited the APIs and it is a known issue that if you know the correct URL to certain resources on the server (e.g. specific files) you can fetch them without authentication. Nothing more serious than that has been found.

  • I would trust the FOSS software's actually auditable security any day of the week over the sketchy proprietary solution targeting an extremely niche market.

  • For some reason they recommend against directly forwarding Jellyfin's ports, but reverse proxies are fine. I expect this is because the default configuration doesn't use SSL.

    This smug mentality that security is unnecessary when exposing ports to the open internet reminds me of people who think its fine to drive drunk because "I've done it dozens of times before and nothing happened!" It also reminds me of the mentality of tech company VPs right before they have a massive data breach. It's quite absurd to read.

    I think you'll find without exposing ports to the open internet we would not be having this conversation right now. Which, I suppose, wouldn't be such a bad thing.

  • Abandoning streaming services only to become a serf of another commercial subscription service seems like such a bizarre move that I really don't understand how Plex users even exist.

  • The price of weight loss drugs in different countries

  • Finland isn't on that list, but the purchase cost here before any socialized healthcare rebates is ~110€ for a month's dose of Ozempic, which is in line with the other European countries, so presumably all the prices there are before any rebates.

  • It's kind of ironic that after complaining about prayers with many words, Jesus goes on to tell them to instead use the Lord's Prayer, which in itself is just an incredibly long-winded way of saying "hi god give me a good and virtuous life".

  • New Zealand bans puberty blockers for young transgender people

    Jump

  • Do not put words in my mouth to present a false dilemma.

    Naturally I hope this medication is found to be safe for this purpose after further study. However, these processes are stringent for a reason, because the possibility of it proving to be unsafe after being in widespread use for many years could have disastrous consequences on the health of a large number of people. The history of medicine is full of such cautionary tales.

  • Of course such organizations would criticize the study; they are ideologically predisposed to doing so. The broader consensus is still in support of the study. Several other European countries have done their own reviews with pretty much the same findings. Not all of them have resulted in outright bans like in the UK and now NZ, because sometimes adjusting prescription guidelines is enough, depending on how the local medical processes work.

  • the cass review is famously idiotic by now.

    According to a minority of experts.

    also mentioning "big pharma" lol.

    Lack of medical regulation is very much a big pharma interest.

    I'm not going to bother arguing with you about this because it is clearly an ideological issue for you where you personally consider the (as of yet) difficult to quantify benefits of this medication vastly more important than the numerous possible side effects of messing with the endocrine system of an immature body. Healthcare experts in pretty much every European country caution their use, all for the same reasons as those cited in the Cass report. As such a ban (well, in this case moratorium really) is clearly justifiable.

  • New Zealand bans puberty blockers for young transgender people

    Jump

  • This ban, along with similar bans in other countries whose medical system isn't run by Big Pharma, is being enacted because medical specialists raised concerns about the lack of evidence in support of puberty blockers, as well as their unknown risks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cass_Review

    Trusting the experts is a two-way street; you still have to respect their expertise when they say something you disagree with.

  • Screw it, I’m installing Linux

    Jump

  • Yes, KDE is a desktop environment. It's one of the "Windows-like" ones and very customizable, and arguably the most technically advanced one at the moment.

    Wayland is the display server, as it is called. It's basically the back-end component that facilitates actually displaying anything on the screen. It replaced another component called X11, which was released in 1987 and had become a completely unmaintainable mess of technological debt.

    Wayland took a very long time to develop and there are still some growing pains, which is why you will occasionally still see people arguing that X11 is better -- these days you should probably just ignore anyone who says that though, as the overwhelming majority of users will be much better served by Wayland than by X11.

    As for what distros support it, basically every up-to-date distro (latest major version release during or after 2024) using one of the following desktop environments will default to Wayland: KDE, Gnome, COSMIC, Sway, Hyprland. Other DEs don't yet have stable Wayland support. Notably Linux Mint, a very common recommendation, is not on this list because the Cinnamon DE it uses does not yet support Wayland.

    A couple of example distros mentioned in the thread and article would be Bazzite, Fedora and CachyOS. These distros all update swiftly, which is desirable because the Linux desktop is advancing very quickly at the moment. Slower-moving distros like Debian or Ubuntu LTS tend to miss out on a lot of nice new features.

  • I just tested it on one of my laptops running Linux Mint Debian edition 7, (Debian 13 Trixie under the hood) with the Cinnamon desktop environment running X11 and it worked perfectly also. 4K TV set as the primary monitor scaled at 150%, the laptop's screen as the secondary, 1080p at 100% scaling, applied the settings and it was completely fine.

    X11 fractional scaling is not great. It may have looked fine if you only had a cursory glance, but it has many issues. "True" fractional scaling in X11 doesn't work on a per-monitor basis IIRC, instead any per-monitor fractional scaling will be a relatively simple resize operation that results in lots of blurriness.
