  • Oh yeah sure mhm

    “While Oracle and IBM have compatible Linux distributions, we have very different ideas about our responsibilities as open source stewards and about operating under the GPLv2,” the Oracle pair said, taking the opportunity to encourage code contributions to Oracle Linux and to tease about potential job opportunities.

    “Oracle has always made Oracle Linux binaries and source freely available to all. We do not have subscription agreements that interfere with a subscriber’s rights to redistribute Oracle Linux. On the other hand, IBM subscription agreements specify that you’re in breach if you use those subscription services to exercise your GPLv2 rights.”

    Here’s how I interpret it:

    “Oh no, IBM cut off access to our source repository. Please contribute to our distro instead of RHEL because we’re had such a good track record with FOSS. Maybe you’ll even get a job out of it UwU”

    To which I say: Oracle, FUCK YOU




  • I can confidently say that no it will not “intelligently use the LAN” when you’re on the same network - I don’t know of any service that will… unless Plex/Plexamp somehow does this?

    The solution is as someone else said - use a DNS Server to forward it in your LAN to the internal IP. If you’re unsure how to do this, just search how to setup a Hairpin NAT for the router you own. I can confirm that once you set this up, it will work seamlessly with both Finamp and Jellyfin.






  • I was thinking exactly this! At some point a long time ago, all of these centralized platforms were “cool” until “uncool” people started joining and sharing garbage content… now we’re in a bit of a renaissance as these platforms commit social suicide. The more intellectual individuals are both able and willing to jump ship to these “complex platforms”.

    Will Grandma or crazy Uncle Bill ever join Mastodon on their own and understand federation? No, probably not. But that guy you went to University with who is now working as a Civil Engineer or Financial Advisor will probably figure it out and migrate when it gets bad enough.

    Now I ask, who’s content would you rather see filling your feed? 🤣








  • Can someone explain something to a newcomer of the city?

    “Early in the pandemic lockdown, bicycle traffic was moved onto the road, which became car-free. This got bikes off the seawall, to increase physical distancing for pedestrians. This is when access truly was barred to anyone who could not get to the park on foot or by bike. Eventually, after some twists and turns, one road lane was reopened to vehicles, the other reserved for cyclists. Bikes were also allowed back onto the seawall. But some people called for the return of both road lanes to vehicular traffic.”

    Why do we need a road the perimeter of Stanley park? Are there businesses / residences that will be inaccessible otherwise? Or are we just encouraging people to burn fuel going for sight seeing joyrides?

    And Counter Point (for the sake of playing devil’s advocate here): Screenshot of Stanley Park as seeon on open street maps dot org Aren’t there enough bike trails in Stanley Park that it shouldn’t really matter?

    I feel like I’m not grasping the issue correctly here and would appreciate further clarity on what is actually going on here…


  • I’d second what @niisyth said - I’d probably run this by admins first to make sure that doing this is okay and not harming the instance from a technical perspective.

    Another thing to consider: You may want to contribute to existing communities before creating multiple empty ones. I think it would be great to give every town / city in Ontario it’s own community, but this could deter people from joining as it would give them the impression that it’s an empty wasteland / graveyard in here (when it’s not).

    If you live in a small city/town/village, by all means create a community for it - but I would focus on nurturing it first before expanding to take on other ones.

    This is just my two cents though - I leave the executive decision up to you (and the instance admins) 😎

    This is absolutely HYPE! 🙌

    Great job and super inspirational! I only JUST got the trophy for one week a few days back… even though I started trying to fill all my rings since June 1st:

    A screenshot of the Apple Fitness Longest Move Streak trophy with a dialogue underneath that states "You earned this award for your longest daily Move streak. 10 days, ending on 2023-06-12. Your current streak is 3 days."

    I was feeling super dead and had to take a day of rest but I’m not letting it stop me. Check back in a year and hopefully I’ll have joined in with you with a 365 day streak!
