Sounds like you’re stuck in a worst practices mindset.

Worst/Pragmatic.
If I get a timeline for a feature request, then everything can be scheduled, tested, whitelisted, delivered at a reasonable time.
That's the rarer event - normally it's more like "the scale head has died and a technician is on the way to replace it" and whilst I modify the program in question to handle this new input, hundreds of staff are standing around and delivery quotas won't be met.
Is my position arrogant? This is the job.

Sign your damn releases and have the whitelisting done by cert.

I'll see if this is possible at the site in question, thank you.

In a rapidly churning startup phase, where new releases can and do come out constantly to meet production requirements, this one size fits all mentality is impractical.

If you refuse to whitelist the deployment directory, you will be taking 2am calls to whitelist the emergency releases.

No it can't wait until Monday at 9am, no there will not be a staged roll out and multiple rounds of testing.

I am more than willing to have a chat; you, me and the CEO.

I agree and use Signal myself.
But people like the extra features of WhatsApp like desktop/web clients with seamless history sync and all the other little things that WhatsApp provides.
The average Joe doesn't even think about security or privacy, they just know that the results of using WhatsApp are superior than using SMS.
iMessage is a non starter everywhere out of the US, it just doesn't have the market penetration.
As an Australian, no one I know (many of whom own iPhones) talk about the blue-green bubble stuff.
They recognise where the fault lies and simply don't use the app.

Oh, I thought we were talking about "bad people who shouldn't be anywhere near political levers", not "egotisitical idiots".

I agree, that's why I said "and able"

The US is reaching when they seek his extradition, and many countries in the world would outright deny the application.
And the basis of an extradition is that the crime was committed in the requesting country, even if it was done so remotely.

Making heroin in the US is illegal.
Hundreds of tons of it are made in Myanmar every year without the US demanding extradition of the producers.
Until someone tries to import that heroin into the US, because THAT's the crime in the US.

As you point out, Assages only involvement in the crime was encouraging someone else to gather information for him - something journalists do all the time.

Whether or not we like Assange as an individual is beyond the point, there's a definite "greater good" point to be made here.
War crimes were committed and covered up.
Without wikileaks, that may have never come to light.
Even without punishing the individuals involved, KNOWING that this information might leak out can help prevent these things happening again in future.

Journalists need to be able to publish with protection.
And Assange being personally unlikeable doesn't change the role he was acting in, no one should get to say "he wasn't employed by the wall street journal", or "she doesn't have a journalistic degree".
Because a foundation of law in all the countries involved here is that the truth is protected, and Assange published provable facts.

And the US is trying to punish him for doing so.

I'd guess the fine line is "Valve intend to earn money from something official in the future"

The Jellyfin community here is !jellyfin@lemmy.ml

The official forum is at https://forum.jellyfin.org/

What you've got seems to be a truenas specific docker problem.

When you spin up Jellyfin docker, you normally specify a config volume and a data volume, so that as you upgrade, the users and watched lists etc are maintained.
You should be able to save those directories, delete the broken Jellyfin docker instance, and then recreate it pointing at the old volumes.
That way it would bind to the valid IP, but have the old configs and data.

At the command line I could help, but I don't know anything about Truenas sorry.

it’ll work just like SMS does now

I agree with this part of your statement 100%.
It will work POORLY.

Whether it's in the same app or simply a different colour like SMS is currently, it'll be a half assed implementation, designed to segregate your iphone and android friends.

Got an existing iphone group chat? Bet you can't add an RCS participant to it.
Create a new RCS group chat so you can include everyone? Bet it's missing features that you'd get in imessage.
Receive a high resolution video from a friend via imessage? Forward that to another friend via RCS and they'll receive 5 blurry pixels.

And throughout all of this, apple will blame the RCS protocol and say "We're actively working with GSMA to improve RCS".

No one trusts apple for the very simple reason that they have a habit of saying the quiet part out loud: Tim Cook Says 'Buy Your Mom An iPhone'

Keeping in mind that I have no idea how to properly read this, as for the pricing it looks like in 2016 letter post from Hong Kong to Sydney was 0.538 SDR per KG, which was about AU$1.03 per KG.

Interesting, so on face value, that works out to about $5 for a max 5kg package to arrive from China, whereas the same 5kg package within Australia would be $10.60.
Either Australia Post is taking a loss on every international package, or making a big profit on every national package.
Possibly both, where one offsets the other.
Whilst that would keep Australia Post solvent, it has externalities, simplistically it's a tarif on local manufactured product.
That cannot be a desirable outcome, especially as China already has a $/man hour advantage.

Also the 77c for the head torch is a one time welcome deal, it shows up as $8.97 for me when logged in. So Aliexpress is probably just making a loss in hopes to make a profit from you later.

Yeah, entirely possible. I haven't ordered one of these and don't intend to, but I just bought some screw drivers etc for ~ $8, which means they would have to make them for like $4 to turn a profit.

I've read Revelation Space and Chasm City.
I'm sorry, but they are a massive struggle.

Sounds like that's a fixed problem then.
I wonder if the Scouts still recite it before every meeting?
