Yes. Jellyfin will index the media files and push all the metadata along with the file paths on the network share they both can see to the local kodi database. That way browsing the library on kodi does not suffer any additional latency, but you also lose some advanced jellyfin functionality like on the fly re-encoding.

That's strange. I'm using the old Jellyfin addon (not the JellyCon), and so far only encountered one bug in total, which, if you are familiar with kodi addon ecosystem, is basically unheard of. And even that one is related to my non-standard manual configuration that allows me to use WebDAV instead SMB or NFS. It's using the wrong type of escaping for certain special characters, which is understandable, because who in their right mind uses WebDAV?

But would the 2 pictures fit together? When you shorten the lens-display distance, you basically zoom in.
> Researchers predict that by the year 2050, about half of the world's population will have myopia. Considering the target demographic, a significant number of potential VR users suffer from myopia already. Why are there no more VR headsets with adjustable focus? Several vendors offer replaceable lenses, or various addons to fit the glasses in, but the obvious solution used by the early cheap headsets like GearVR - adjustable distance between lenses and the display, is not being utilized for some reason. Is it a technical problem, economical problem? Are the modern lenses somehow tuned for a specific distance?

When thoughts like this trouble me, I simply realize how awesome it is that you can simply summon a burger using the magic box in your pocket. What a great time to be alive!
If my grandma wanted a burger at my age, she would have to wake up early in the morning to catch a good spot in queue in front of the butcher shop.

very same factories that produce consumer goods with a profit incentive today, can do the same for the benefit of the people tomorrow.
Yes. Until everyone ends up in poverty, because over time, nobody knows what to make and how much. The longer the supply chain the stronger the effect will be.

Lemmy is the ultimate embodiment of a free market.
Certain tools inspire certain behaviors. In other words, all you have is a hammer... Ironically, that's also a reason commercial platforms resist implementing negative votes.
Changing the tool to better suite it's purpose is an option, but decentralized networks are inherently resistant to such changes. With the backlog of bugs and missing features this ecosystem has, the developers would not be amused if somebody came up with a new tagging or filtering system.

zkSNACKs, the developer of Wasabi wallet, has shut down its coinjoin coordinator since June. The news is not surprising, considering that it has already been unavailable for the US customers since May. Since the wallet itself is non-custodial (you hold the keys), and it's using block filters to update your balance directly from the bitcoin network, the wallet functionality is intact. However, if you want to coinjoin, you have to find another public coordinator. A list of currently active coordinators is available on [wabisator.com](https://wabisator.com/), or [wasabist.io](https://wasabist.io/) Coordinators do not require any privileged access to private information, so it should be safe to use any 3rd party coordinator with enough real active users. At no point are your funds at risk of being stolen. However, a dedicated attacker running a public coordinator could still pull a de-anonymization attack by mixing your coins solely with their own outputs.

Ever since the [interview with Lukas Seyfrid (CZ)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJUeYQy-W1Y), the chief of the hardware team, it was clear that Braiins is pivoting from the development of mining software, to building their own hardware.  This, I believe, is the first iteration of their effort in form of a consumer product, and while it is unlikely to make you a financial return on the investment, it's small form factor and nice anodized aluminum case can allow pretty much anyone to become familiar with the process of bitcoin mining. Or terrorize the testnet. The choice is yours. I think I might buy one, just to try the viability of a pure solar setup. **HW specifications:** ||| | ------------- | ------------- | | Price (pre-order) | $199.00 | | Hashrate | ~1Th/s | | Power Consumption | 40W - 55W | | Number of hashboards | 1 | | Number of ASIC chips | 4 | | Cooling Type | Active | | Noise | 40 dB | | Air outlet temperature | 40-50 °C | **But really, how much would it make in a year?** If we assume the current price and difficulty stays the same, the block subsidy is **3.125 BTC**, median fees around **0.2212 BTC**, free electricity, you'd get **0.001 BTC per 12 months**, which is roughly **65 USD**. A little more than 3 years to break even. It's not going to break any records, but I'm still excited for what's to come next.
It's a successor to the model T, with the new design inspired by the Safe 3, announced earlier this year. They promise nice, easy to use UI, color display, haptic feedback, gorilla glass. Several color variations are available, including the bitcoin-only orange option.

"Prosecutors are alleging Samourai Wallet laundered over $100 million in criminal proceeds."
"Recent regulatory action against Consensys and Samourai has instilled fear among other crypto service providers operating in the United States." - Wasabi is the main competitor to Samourai's whirpool mixing service. The only one flying under the radar currently is Joinmarket. - Phoenix is the Lightning network wallet where users keep custody of their funds, but the channel management is outsourced to the company. The only remaining self custodial lightning wallet that remains is Breez. While this news is deeply troubling, it might push further development to more sustainable trustless self-custodial solutions in the long term.

A story about Sarah Meiklejohn, and how she started to analyze the blockchain back in 2013. cross-posted from: https://lemmy.zip/post/8623167 > > Once, drug dealers and money launderers saw cryptocurrency as perfectly untraceable.
The Solomon's temple in Jerusalem was a mistake... according to samaritan israelites, who follows 5 books of the old testament, and pray on Mt. Gerizim, 48km north of Jerusalem. THE place to worship God. Most of the european christians probably know the term only from the story about the good samaritan. Today I've learned not only they are still a thing, practicing their barebones version of judaism, but in addition to israel and the west bank, some of them even live and practice their religion in brazil.

The so called new religious movements are a guilty pleasure of mine. Some of their followers often claim to be inspired specifically by Zoroastrianism. But what is zoroastrianism? Apparently, it all started ~3000 years ago in the area currently known as iran, by the guy called Zarathustra. And although the number of active practitioners is rapidly declining, the ideas behind it affect us all to this day, as the christianity and islam seem to be highly inspired by the ideas behind zoroastrianism.

A new type of vulnerability has been found, affecting the routing nodes, allowing the attacker to steal the amount locked in HTLC you're forwarding for them. Several scenarios and possible mitigations are suggested in the article. For more details, see the original paper: https://github.com/ariard/mempool-research/blob/2023-10-replacement-paper/replacement-cycling.pdf Discussion on stacker.news: https://stacker.news/items/288995
There's a new Trezor HW wallet available. It's a long awaited refresh of the original Trezor One. Two buttons, one screen, USB-C, and a new chip that makes it tick. Now with 100% more secure element! They also offer a new cold storage solution - https://trezor.io/trezor-keep-metal . The form factor is similar to cryptosteel, but the mechanism of entering the seed phrase is different. You punch a bunch of holes in the metal plates. Depending on what material is used, I'd say it's much more fool proof compared to cryptosteel. If an unsuspecting nocoiner opens it, there is no risk of them just spilling all the letters out and financially ruining the whole family in the process.
I've tried Apacer AS2280Q4 2TB and ADATA SWORDFISH 500 GB. Both report `nvme nvme0: globally duplicate IDs for nsid 1` since Linux 5.19, if I attach more than one. Only the first drive is seen by the system. Workaround so far has been to stay on 5.15, but that's not a viable long-term solution. This error has been known for quite some time, and has been fixed downstream for specific distros and ssd models. Is there any chance the manufacturers will start to assign unique ID's to each drive, or mainline implements usable a universal workaround?
Everyone knows helix antenna is needed for capturing NOAA satellite images, due to circular polarization of the signal, right? As I was listening to ISS APRS repeater (with great success!), I noticed NOAA 19 would pass over me shortly. Since the dipole was already set up outside, I decided to give it a go. Software used: - GQRX to capture the audio - Gpredict to know when to start the recording, and to compensate for the doppler shift - noaa-apt to convert the audio file to an image Hardware used: - RTL-SDR.com branded USB dongle - 3 lousy USB extension cords - "Bunny ear" retractable dipole antenna that I got in a bundle with one of the SDRs Now, there is not much to see in the image, but I sure as hell can spot some clouds there, and that's much more than I actually expected!
I'd like to self-host Lemmy or kbin and mastodon. I know I could use different subdomain for each, but I'd much rather keep it short. Something tells me, however, that other instances might not be happy about it. Is it doable?
Google is a search engine for human readable content. Shodan does the same for machine readable content. You can: - search for specific IP addresses, and it will show you the active ports, and running services. - search for a specific response header in the set of countries - browse through the screenshots of open VNC & RDP - open webcams - and more... The free accounts can use any feature, but the list of results is limited. But if you really want to look under the deck of the internet, the subscription is worth it. https://account.shodan.io/billing/member
