I currently use Jellyfin to stream my music collection. It's all stored on my NAS and I can give access to whomever I like. Downside is that the iOS music client, FinAmp, is... not pretty. It's functional, but not great. I understand the player situation to be a bit better on the Android side.

Well, it’s happened once. It could happen again, although I suspect if we do have another civil war, there may not be many pieces left to pick up afterwards.

As often as not, I'm using nano on the command line. It's available in Windows through WSL.

Being honest, WSL makes running Windows so much easier.

Ordinarily, I’d agree. I posted it because the last line in the article caught my attention. Apparently a cop was startled by the test and the officer’s first reaction was to go for their firearm.

“ At least one law enforcement officer appeared to reach for their weapon before the room relaxed with recognition of the scheduled test.”

Seriously LEOs, chill the fuck out!

Personally I use Nextcloud, but as you want local only, I have used Thunderbird. It's fine. Cross platform, open source, remote to local sync. Basically, it ticks all the boxes for a calendar/agenda.

I'm not a fan of their MacOS based products, but I prefer iOS for the fact that I can rely on getting timely updates. For a good long while. That is not something that is generally true with Android. I'm fine with paying for that level of support.

Last time I looked, no Android vendors provided close to the same level of support.

That said, if I was a business and needed to field in house apps to mobile devices, everyone would be getting an Android device. Custom apps for iOS are a pain in the ass.

About time!

Yep! It should work in reverse too!

Depending on what you are trying to do, not necessarily. NextCloud itself doesn’t really care, as far as I know, as long as it’s address doesn’t change. AIO on the other hand is setup in such a way that it needs a resolvable domain name and a valid certificate for https.

This could be done by spinning up your own certificate authority and dns server, but that is a lot of extra work and would be local network access only.

Another way would be to use a free domain and a free certificate from let’s encrypt. The downside here is that the domain authority could yank your domain at any time, for any reason (as happened to all of the free .ml domains recently). At which point your certificate would also stop working resulting in a situation where you may have to nuke and pave.

If you want to be local access only, I would pick an install path other than AIO. If you want to be able to access NextCloud remotely, purchase a domain name.

A VPN, such as TailScale would be considered local network in this situation.

Currently living in Alabama, I really wish there wasn’t quite so much truth in this statement.

I never used Apollo. Back when I used Reddit I just used the official app. Glad to see some Lemmy apps have left TestFlight though.

Ummm…. American weapons can be found in every nation on Earth. Pretty sure Russia is using some in Ukraine.

I was just about to post this.

I’m 37 and have long believed I will never actually be able to retire, and yet a large chunk of what I earn goes to so called retirement!

I'll be honest, I had forgotten MySpace was a thing back then. Every single page I went to was gaudy as hell and took forever to load on my dial up connection at the time. I'm a little surprised they're still around. And damn, it looks a lot different!

RHEL is dead easy to pirate. https://developers.redhat.com/products/rhel/overview A developer account is needed (it's free) but after that you're golden.

For about the last 15 years, I would agree with the school board’s lawyers. At this point is is kinda an occupational hazard, kinda like vehicle accidents are for me as a truck driver.

Should it be normalized? I would say too late. Should teachers be payed more as a result? I’m a little surprised anyone is will to take the job as is even if the wages were doubled.

School board can’t do much except try to minimize the current threat and teachers aren’t allowed to do anything to minimize the threat going forward, lest they be accused of indoctrinating children. So, ya, it’s an occupational hazard.

There are a whole slew of ways to look at this depending on what "glasses" you like to wear, and also the type of work involved. I work in grocery logistics, moving groceries from where they are produced to the store where you buy them. Here's a few from my "lens":

• They are looking at the long term office space leases they are stuck with.
• In person training tends to be more effective ( I remember reading a study on this, but can't currently find it.)
• Most people suck at communicating effectively. Proximity seems to improve this. (Personal observation)
• Community (It is far easier to "other" someone that you rarely or never meet in person. Not so easy if they are showing you pictures of their kids every day. "Sally just got a new particle accelerator! Isn't she so lovely! This is her sinking Manhattan!")
• Leadership (I have to come into work to do my job. My boss's job though is mostly paperwork. He could do his job from home but why should I care what he has to say if he isn't in the same mud as me?)

My thought on this is if you want the flexibility of working from home, that's fine. But don't expect me to give a damn about what you think. The job is rough enough without an uninformed opinion trying to mess things up worse.

Single use or the reusable bottles?

My wife bought a filter jug but still would rather buy single use bottles of water. She thinks I’m nuts for drinking straight out the tap. 😂

That looks interesting. Looks like they only ship within the EU though.
