It is concerning, yeah. I usually license my own software with MIT, but, not all of it, and I think GPL is very important for Linux.

I kind of get the idea that code should be self-documenting, but at the same time, there’s so many crazy business rules that comments are basically a necessity if nothing else other than to explain why in the hell the crazed mess that provides the required functionality for the business rules exists.

Oh no… this brings back memories LOL

and the pve8to9 checklist script suggests to run this migration script if necessary

Ah, okay that makes more sense.

This is going to affect many more people who didn’t read it, then.

Although, that seems to only affect guests and not hosts?

The host machine becomes unbootable IIRC, so I think it’s something else?

I took a look but I’m not seeing any command for LVM mentioned anywhere?

It might be safer to wait, one of my IRL friends ran into an issue, and I saw some others post about it on the Proxmox forums: TASK ERROR: activating LV 'pve/data' failed: Check of pool pve/data failed (status:64). Manual repair required!

I think I didn’t run into that error because I flattened my LVM kinda, but if I hadn’t customized my setup maybe I would have run into that too.

I tell myself that every time, but I mean, I still end up doing it every time anyway lmao

edit: Just did it, it went well.

Yeah that’s why I’m a bit weary of switching to Wayland, so many apps still seem unsupported, or have issues, whereas on X11 everything for me just works. Plus, the two DE’s I’d actually consider using either don’t have Wayland support at all or have very early experimental support (Cinnamon and Xfce) so it’ll still be a while for me before I am able to consider switching to Wayland, assuming everything else works.

I’m not a huge fan of Flatpaks, they’re a lot harder to distribute offline versus something like AppImage. Seriously, you have to like create an offline repository, then create a bundle, and it’s like 6 or 7 steps, it’s honestly kind of ridiculous lol but other than that they seem fine, and they’re easy enough to update (but so are apt packages)

I know some people may say “oh why do you need that”, but Linux has taught me that my computer is my own, and I should be able to use it the way I want to. I shouldn’t have to fight with my package manager to get it to do what I want. So I guess you could say, no I’m not really a fan of Flatpaks.

Personally, I didn’t mind Snaps, but I’m getting kind of really fed up with especially for-profit companies etc so I don’t like Snap that much now either.

Apt packages are nice, but the more of them you have installed, especially if you’re using Ubuntu-based distros and have lots of PPAs, the more annoying upgrading your distro version can be because of all the dependencies and cross-dependencies.

AppImage tends to just work for me, as long as it’s not compiled with a newer libc-bin version than the distro I’m currently using has, and I really enjoy that it’s just one file I can copy and run pretty much anywhere.

If you want a computer programming job with them then yeah definitely.

Yeah I was a bit surprised too, they even told me how well I did during the interview and how I was getting stuff right that most of their candidates get wrong, and they made it seem like I should expect an offer from them. I think the dealbreaker was that I hadn’t worked with message brokers before.

I made it to the final round of interviewing with them a couple years ago. I think it would have been interesting to work for them. They have PHP and even some Laravel in their stack.

How can you debug it with a TCP dump if it’s encrypted?

Maybe I was thinking of this from back in 2024?

Are you sure that works? I’m pretty sure they mentioned that reverse proxies are an unsupported (and not working) use case with Jellyfin, but I might have to look into authelia some time then.

I thought that you can still access media directly via the URL without any authentication, how would authelia change that?

Security for remote streaming is a harder thing to handle. Most people are capable of port forwarding, But just hanging a smallish public project out there in the open is always a dicey proposition. It honestly needs real fail2ban, probably SSL, 2FA and password complexity requirements.

Yeah.

It’s tough because I get they’re an open-source project, and they’re volunteers, but at the same time, security is something that should be the highest priority.

Though, you could just make it so that it’s not accessible via WAN and instead has to go through a VPN, though that’d make it harder to share with others.

Yeah, OpenVPN definitely doesn’t have light spec requirements 😅 thankfully hardware is unfathomably powerful these days.

Or be like me stuck in the 2000s using OpenVPN still in 2025 lol
