Like criticizing cavemen for not properly washing their hands. Our ancestors were fucking stupid and what's obvious to us now was not obvious to them then. That's why it's a product of it's time, a window to a past society, and a reminder of how far we've come. I'm not seeing anybody here celebrating racism or sexism and ignoring that it existed at all is a braindead thought-pattern. You're arguing for the sake of arguing and it's entirely unnecessary.

Sexism in a movie set in the early 1900s!? Say it ain't so!

A John Stewart VP pick could be cool though. I could see him siting on the Senate floor calling out people BS all day.

No good will come of this “Weekend at Bernie’s” farce of an election.

Hard disagree.

Anybody who has actually followed what Trump has done / is doing vs what Biden has done / is doing knows there's a clear distinction between the two. One is clearly a worse choice. It reads like you're just intoxicated by the smelling of your own farts.

The Dems are going to win. It's painfully clear that Trump (and his cabinet members) are unfit to lead and do not have the best interest of our nation's people. We'll have to wait til November to what degree that is.

A better approach I think is voting more progressive thinkers into congress and other places of power and authority.

It feels like a long con. The years of eroding the educational budget have finally paid off. It's going to be an upward battle to bring back logical thinking and media literacy.

Tyrannical governments rise from apathy. The final governmental check is its people.

A lot of news outlets have turned into just churning drama. I've noticed it this election cycle with NYT and CNN.

How is this going to "shift votes"? How exactly? From who? Who's really on the fence between the "Old man" and the convicted felon suspected to be a pedophile attempting to become king? No sane person is shifting vote over this and the insane are already vehemently R.

Probably not every single solitary person, but the majority. I think politics have been too divisive to the point where the middle is too slim to make a difference. These aren't new political candidates. Nothing has changed.

 

I feel like I have a doozy of a complicated issue and am looking for some guidance.

I'm new to Selfhosting so I got myself an off-the-shelf Asustor NAS. It's got apps which is cool, so I've installed Jellyfin. I want to access my Jellyfin over the web so I've set up DDNS via my Asusstor Manual Connect and FreeDNS. This works well, I can access it over HTTP but the domain is... kind of long and unpleasant, so I got myself a "pretty" domain and setup a CNAME to the FreeDNS. I'm port forwarding on my router, everything works, so far so good.

To make it overtly complicated, I want to make the connection HTTPS. This is where I'm struggling. I've set up the SSL cert for my "pretty" domain via Lets Encrypt, but it times out. I'm not sure if, or how I can make the FreeDNS HTTPS or covered under my Lets Encrypt cert since I don't technically own the FreeDNS domain. My provider doesn't give my any wildcard options on the "pretty" domains cert either.

I've got the HTTPS set on my Asustor and Jellyfin based on the "pretty" domains SSL cert. I've got my port-forwarding 443 to Jellyfins suggested HTTPS port on my router. I feel like the lynchpin is the FreeDNS subdomain handing off the DDNS request but I'm not sure how to solve it. Any suggestions on how I can get this setup to work? Anyone else run a similar setup where they access their local X port via the web via HTTPS?

Open to similar experiences, suggestions, ideas, pretty much anything at this point.

I've started working with Media Servers recently and am starting to get acustom to Jellyfin. I'm using Book Lib Connect and AAX Audio Converter to download and convert my purchased Audiobooks.

I would like my Audiobooks to retain chapters, but I'm not sure the export I'm getting from the above is fully compatible with Jellyfin. Here's what I've tried so far:

Audiobooks

  • Author
    • Book
      • (01) Opening Credits.m4b
      • (02) Chapter 1.m4b
      • etc.
      • Book.txt
      • metadata.json
      • chapters.json

I also have the full m4b file and the aax file in an ignored folder at the top of the book.

Book.txt contains the author, title, narrator, publish year, description, duration. Separated by new lines.

metadata.json contains specific information like purchase date, product #, author #, SKU.

chapters.json contains the actual chapter titles. chapter length, start offset.

Any ideas on how I can get Jellyfin to read the json files? Do I need to write a conversion script into some other file type? Maybe Jellyfin isn't the right software for Audiobooks?

I'm open to ideas, suggestions, or any other advice.

 

I'm trying to better understand hosting a Lemmy Instance. Lurking discussions it seems like some people are hosting from the Cloud or VPS. My understanding is that it's better to futureproof by running your own home server so that you have the data and the top most control of hardware, software etc. My understanding is that by hosting an instance via Cloud or VPS you are offloading the data / information to a 3rd party.

Are people actually running their own actual self-hosted servers from home? Do you have any recommended guides on running a Lemmy Instance?
