I dont really think this is a fair assessment.

Rowland Browne is a well established anti-gun nut, who other pro gun control individuals feel uncomfortable associating with.

This organisation that he’s Co-Chairman of?
https://www.guncontrolaustralia.org/ ?
You could fit their active members in a Kia Carnival.

What they do have is a website and a fax machine, and they REGULARLY spam all the media outlets with “press releases”, which those media outlets publish on a slow day.

According to Mr Browne, anyone who wants a gun for any reason is guilty of wrong-think.
“How dare thousands of wrong-thinkers band together to stop rightness!”

We’re past the point of diminishing returns on gun control in Australia, but Mr Browne won’t be happy until there isn’t a single gun, nor the means to make them, and children aren’t playing “cops and robbers” with bent sticks.

I’m a bit surprised we haven’t heard from Phillip Alpers yet.

Edit to Add: The irrationality of the individual who downvoted me for calling out Mr Browne warms my heart.
You almost get it: you’re one person, you get one vote.
But mate, so am I.
Pro-gun people aren’t all paid shills, out here to promote the sale of guns and ammo like a shady drug dealer on a corner.
There are 940,000+ people who currently own them safely in this country and would like to continue doing so.

What happened in Bondi wasn’t a gun control issue, it was terrorism committed with guns.
And the general public can see it.

All good, I feel like we’re in total agreement here.
They’ve done something stupid.
Now we all get to see how far they’ll take it.

The Australian government isn’t scared to piss off Big Tech when it suits them.

The ASSISTANCE AND ACCESS ACT 2018 lead to some people I know being given the option of quitting or relocating to somewhere that the Australian government couldn’t do THAT.

It’s certainly an extra factor when deciding to offshore development teams here.

As a “great” man once said:

“The laws of mathematics are very commendable, but the only law that applies in Australia is the law of Australia,”

I understand that I’m making a slippery slope argument, a fallacy in itself.

I just don’t trust that the purpose of this legislation is what it says on the tin because it’ll never achieve it’s stated aim, it’ll just teach a whole generation how to break the law.

And having failed, will the government stop?
No, they’ll try to ban VPNs, or something else equally vacuous.

edit to add: This reminds me a bit of the tobacco excise.
On paper, it’s to discourage people from smoking as it becomes increasingly unaffordable to do so.
But what’s actually happened is that a whole black market has sprung up, making cigarettes even cheaper than before, funding criminal organisations, who have ZERO incentive to not sell to anyone who will buy them (including children).

Beyond the above, I feel there’s an inherent value to anonymous conversation that will be lost.
Sure, anonymous conversation allows echo chambers where cookers come up with nonsense - but every societal upheaval in the past would have started with unsanctioned conversations happening behind closed doors.
Woman’s suffrage?
Same sex marriage?
Person-hood/voting rights for indigenous Australians?

It’s easy to see them as obvious now, but once they were illegal.
Those changes occurred in public referendums that started with private conversations.

These are pretty calm messages to an Australian and Garry is British, so culture checks out.

// What the fuck
// Fuck dynamic compiling.
// what the fuck is this shit
// What the fuck, why isnt this a method

Should this by the by commentary be there?
Not really.
But as a programmer, I understand each and every time I see something like:

// Urgh this is so dirty, Invalidate() and Refresh() do nothing.
tButt.AutoSize = false;
tButt.Width = maxWidth;
tButt.Height = maxHeight;
tButt.AutoSize = true;

As you can see, I too have made a “least bad” choice for pragmatic reasons.

I take no pride in correcting you.

Actually, if you hit those 3 dots on the top right and select “All Permissions”, you’ll see there’s a whole host of things it demands that you can’t opt out of.

“Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no.”

But I want to be wrong.

When you’re personally confident that you won’t be rolling back.
I tend to keep the previous backup as each version is successfully updated.

ie I was running 10.10.7, I still had 10.10.6 sitting there, but I deleted it after successfully upgrading to 10.11.0.

Several people have experienced this error: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/15058

It appears to be when the config of jellyfin lists the cache and the transcode in the same path (or if the transcode directory is within the cache directory).
My understanding is that as the image starts, it writes these hidden dot files (.jellyfin-cache and .jellyfin-transcode) and checks for their existence before it will continue with the next load step.
Hence why they keep coming back when you delete them.
Complicating this is that if you are running jellyfin inside docker, the external mounts can confuse the internal mounts.
(ie INSIDE the docker image you have them in /cache and /transcode, but OUTSIDE you have transcode and cache both mounted in /home/untouchedwagons/jellyfinstuff/)

Within your running instance of 10.11.0, make sure the configuration for cache and transcode are in complete different directories (ie /cache and /config/transcoding-temp/), then shutdown the server (to save that configuration change).

If that’s not clear, a little more info will be useful for diagnosing this.

If you can log into the site, it’s done.
If you try to access the site and you get a “startup log” page, it’s still ongoing (and it will show you there what it’s doing).

Yes, the update should only affect the Jellyfin specific things (databases, configs, metadata). Your media itself is only deleted/modified under very limited and specific circumstances, and you can (and many people do) choose to mount the media read only.

I think the feel from the Devs is that there isn’t enough new functionality to justify the major version bump, this primarily being a reimplementation of existing features.

BUT, I agree with you, it should definitely be V11 under the semantic versioning scheme.
Whilst there is a migration path here, the database changes under the hood alone are likely to break backwards compatibility with all plugins (with in-house plugins being upgraded in sync).
Such breakage is kind of the defining characteristic of a MAJOR version.

“expose systems to remote attackers”.

This is some terrible link bait and Tom’s Hardware should be ashamed.

Backup of the jellyfin cache, Configs and database.
Your media should be outside of all that.

Exactly where those things are depends on your exact install method (native/docker/Linux/windows).

Looks like this is it: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/pull/13451 Also looks like the intention is to stabilise the new data layer before adding extra backends to avoid rework.

It’s commentary like this that leads to so much industrial equipment (printers, scales, barcode readers, PLCs etc) still having RS-232 on them.

And dammit, you’re right, that stone age shit just works.

Category C (semi auto .22LR + miss-categorised shotguns) is for farmers.
Category D (centre-fire semi auto + miss-categorised shotguns) is for specialist pest controllers.

Professional hunters tend to use Category B (manually cycled bolt/lever/pump centre-fire).

You’re not wrong, I just wanted to add more info.

There’d be like a thousand people that qualify in the entire country for a real Category D.

nationalsecurityjournal.org looks like a propaganda outlet.

How do you even check the bonafides of a random site like this?
