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

We elect "Donald Trumps" all the time.
Clive Palmer.
Craig Kelly.
Barnaby Joyce.
Bob Katter.
Pauline Hanson.
Jacqui Lambie.

They only differ from Trump in degree, not in tactics.
This "article" is a thought bubble, not even a fully fleshed out one.

It isn't the crimes that Trump is accused of committing that are evil, it's the lieing, manipulating, etc that got him in position to do it.
The shit that Palmer did to get elected were basically strong arming an entire electorate to support him.
The shit that Hanson has done through funneling electoral funds through friendly advertising companies SHOULD be considered fraud.

Short answer no.
Plex works by having a centralised server run by Plex themselves, that facilitates your client connecting to your server.

The external facing part of Jellyfin server is basically a web server, and it's a bad idea to expose that to the internet without putting a reverse proxy in front of it (hence the mention of NGINX above).
Another option is to have a VPN connection to where you are running Jellyfin and then only access Jellyfin pseudo locally (so potential security problems aren't a big concern). This introduces other complications if you want to access it remotely via things like Roku or Chromecast, especially if you have multiple external (and probably not tech savvy) users.

I want to stress that none of this is prohibitively expensive or hard, but doing it involves learning and effort.
All the information and programs you need are available online for free.

If you only wanted to use Jellyfin at home (server in the cupboard, client on the tv), none of this other stuff matters. If you want to access Jellyfin remotely, and the idea of running a reverse proxy or a vpn server with the corresponding exposed ports and domain configuration sounds scary, Jellyfin is probably not for you.

Only Google can make an RCS app

Yes and no.
You don't need to make your own OS, but you do need to implement support for the RCS protocol within your app, rather than piggyback on Googles APIs.

I don't like it, but there's no legal requirement for google to provide those APIs, like they did with SMS etc.

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.

You repeatedly speak of a trial: "he deserves to see trial", "avoid trial", "If he wants a trial here". And his supposed guilt.

Assange is not a US citizen.
At no point during any of this was he in the US.

There are no valid charges to even place against him, and if he was a citizen of a competing country like Russia, China, India etc we'd hear NOTHING about his role in any of this, because those countries governments would tell the US to sod off.

The truth here is that the US is desperate to get access to him so that they can make an example of him, so that others are less likely to share embarrassing US secrets in the future.

The little jabs about "worked with Russians" (ooh, he's working with the ENEMY) and how "he’s guilty and he knows he’s guilty" (he must be guilty, he's running!) are some straight up bullshit talking points from the likes of Tucker Carlson.
I mean not Tucker Carlson now (nose up Putins ass), Tucker Carlson then (SOME PEOPLE say that you beat your wife, I'M not saying you beat your wife, BUT a lot of people are saying it, and she had a bruise on her arm the other day. It does make you wonder, doesn't it?)

The man is like a compass that points south.
He's not actually useless, but why Bizarro? Why?

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

Windows XP is basically firmware at this point, and has been for over a decade.

Lots of proprietary hardware that works perfectly, will not work on newer versions of Windows due to lack of drivers.

I see it constantly in factory situations with scales, scanners and robot controllers, it would only be worse for million dollar x-ray machines.

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.

I appreciate your efforts in creating this satire.

I hate how plausible your roadmap to hell is.
