  • Hmm, have you made any changes to the firewall on the system hosting the Docker container?

    You might need to edit the firewall with a something like this:

    sudo ufw allow from 192.168.1.0/24 to any port 8096

    Are you using docker-compose to run the Jellyfin service? If so, you might need to add something like this to the docker-compose.yml file:

    network_mode: 'host'
    extra_hosts:
          - "host.docker.internal:host-gateway"
    

    I’m no expert at Docker or UFW, but these are part of my Jellyfin setup, which I’m running on Ubuntu LTS in a Docker container.






  • Agreed on the Ender 3’s needing some tinkering. My wife got me the Ender 3 V2 a couple of years ago for Christmas and I like it a lot, but I spend more time troubleshooting it than actually printing stuff.

    I like to tinker, but the Ender 3 V2 takes advantage of that fact.

    Any recommendations on part upgrades? I’ve upgraded the nozzle and the extruder on mine (the stock, plastic extruder cracked badly last year and I replaced it with a full metal one), but it is still very unreliable. Prints are always failing due to adhesion issues even if I use aftermarket adhesives like MagiGoo on the build plate.





  • That sucks to hear.

    Their ransom demands were dramatically weakened by the fact that they did not have access to any compromising data. It was also clear that they believed ARRL had extensive insurance coverage that would cover a multi-million-dollar ransom payment. After days of tense negotiation and brinkmanship, ARRL agreed to pay a $1 million ransom. That payment, along with the cost of restoration, has been largely covered by our insurance policy.

    Glad the threat actors didn’t get the payout they were hoping for.




  • I’m no legal expert; I assume support can be either offered or completely avoided depending on the shop owner’s preference. Most Linux distributions come with a “this software is free (as in freedom) and comes with no warranty or guaranteed functionality” disclaimer.

    If I wanted to engage more with my clients and build more trust, I might offer some degree of troubleshooting/support for the Linux machines I sold. But I don’t think I’d be under any legal obligation to offer that service just for selling the laptops.

    Whether or not the computer shop offers support might affect whether or not a customer wants to shop at my store. Maybe I can sell my laptops cheaper if I don’t offer support, or maybe my laptops cost a bit more because I do offer aftermarket support.


  • how can Linux be a moderated product to sell for desktop

    It kinda depends on each individuals’ use case; there’s lots of different Linux distributions that are better (or worse) for specific workloads.

    Any given laptop I’m staring at in a store will probably work perfectly fine as a general-use machine with Linux Mint installed. This is my go-to distro when repurposing a machine because it works great out of the box. If I were running a computer store and wanted to sell consumer laptops with Linux on them, I’d default to Mint.

    If someone is looking to turn their PC into something more specialized for gaming, they can look at something like Bazzite or Batocera. These will generally require some tinkering.

    If an individual or company is looking to build an office with many workstations and user accounts, they might consider Red Hat Enterprise Linux so they can benefit from official support channels if something needs troubleshooting. Many computer labs at NCSU used RHEL when I attended many years ago.

    Want a stable server environment? Debian is a standard pick.

    Want a barebones system with no bells and whistles (but great battery life)? Alpine oughta work.

    So Linux has many options for end users to pick from, which can be seen as a good thing (more options is generally good), but also a bad thing (many end users might consider the plethora of options to be overwhelming if they’ve never used Linux before).

    Linux (or is called unix?)

    Linux (Or GNU/Linux) operating systems are a modern implementation of an old research OS that was called “Unix”. Spiritual successors to Unix like Linux and BSD try to bring a lot of the design philosophies of Unix into modern OSes (I believe this is generally called the “POSIX” standard. e.g.: macOS is a POSIX compliant OS, iirc).

    If I’ve gotten any of this information incorrect, please don’t tell Richard Stallman.
