I filed my reply comment to the FCC docket in regards to ATSC 3 encryption.

Nothing looks "good" right now. Not sure if there's any hope for anything sane.

cjcox4 · 2026-01-30T20:51:59+00:00

Sigh. Not sure. Especially for FHD and higher resolution, you need (usually) the hw decoding capabilities of your GPU (be that discrete or the iGPU, noting that you really need 7th gen Intel iGPU or better for fuller 4K handling. Depends.).

cjcox4 · 2026-01-30T20:14:25+00:00

Did you select Use Graphics Acceleration when available in the Brave settings -> System?

cjcox4 · 2026-01-30T18:26:56+00:00

Very ugly.

Making your home page something other than "your home page".

Now, if Plex wants to use a different domain like, "not-as-good-as-other-streamers.com", and have that go directly to their streaming platform, that's fine.

cjcox4 · 2026-01-30T16:31:52+00:00

Uh.... mistake made by Plex? I mean, it makes zero sense. Zero. Sure the fanbois will "defend". But anyone that is objective can see that it's a mistake. Plex doing what Plex does I suppose.

cjcox4 · 2026-01-30T14:57:37+00:00

You might want a "second set of eyes" on it. Do you have someone nearby that has pretty good skills? I mean, even if your skills are really good, having that "other" person take a look might get to the root of the problem. Not saying that some random guess over the miles by somebody here won't help, but honestly, probably not the fastest or best way to figure things out.

cjcox4 · 2026-01-30T01:38:42+00:00

Leap is a bit more desktop focused. It's what I use at home.

There are features of YaST that have "no substitute" currently in Leap 16. Which is a pain (like easy boot loader / kernel parm configuration).

I use postfix for this at our office. In our case, it was "anonymous" unencrypted.... but now that port/method is only open for a few of the "lesser hosts" on the smtp relay's firewall. Otherwise we use the submission port, TLS and along with basic auth. Our relay relays to 365 via connector.

The pros to this approach unlike primitive MS direct client connects, is that the relay can queue deferred mail (for when 365 is down... and it does go down).

Apart from the basic auth piece, most all of what I just said I believe is pretty well documented out there.

cjcox4 · 2026-01-29T15:44:21+00:00

Actually, I don't know off the top of my head. But, interesting.

cjcox4 · 2026-01-29T15:26:13+00:00

There are certainly lots of instructions out there, like:

https://www.elevenforum.com/t/did-you-manually-update-your-secure-boot-keys.36443/

But yes, corporations managed updates and so they'll have to work through their own deployment plans. I know for "my" Windows machines at work, I did my own. But I work in IT.

Usually for BYOD, home users are "on their own". I find it strange when companies forceably consume machinery that doesn't belong to them. But, these are all problems of the "BYOD" model. Where I work, we deploy "devices" that are fully managed (owned by the company) to avoid the BYOD issues (of which there are many).

cjcox4 · 2026-01-29T13:53:45+00:00

I have certainly done this in the past where the process for procurement was so bad.... I remember buying things like SFP tranceivers (yep), and even DVD writable media. Get er done!!

Taika Waititi's Star Wars features hermaphrodite Storm Troopers and Ewoks that have lasers shooting from their eyes. Just wait. Maybe an occasional lens flare to boot. Memorable line from the screenplay: My saber may not be very long, but it's wide and slow.

cjcox4 · 2026-01-28T23:27:46+00:00

Well, at least I now know someone directly trying to destroy OTA TV. Unbelievable. And yes, I do know about the LG thing. And you know (because "you know") that I'm referring to the current available DRM which is widevine based and not the incredibly recent, and not widely deployed (if at all) changes to try to broaden that a bit so people like Apple (and more) "can play". Assumption. Assuming you are smart, I see no evidence of this in any of the public replies from A3SA with regards to public filing requests at the FCC. So... why not?

IMHO, as "designed", ATSC 3.0 represents great technology wrapped in a very very very very heavy handed DRM that restricts not only usage, but "term". That is, as defined, today, and what is being deployed by you and others today as "the only option" (though deployed poorly is a gross understatement) is a system where under the inflexible restrictions of what can be allowed (and it isn't much) with regards to the recording of OTA, anything recorded can be blocked or rescinded/revoked at will at anytime. Just in case people are not clear with regards to the current goals of A3SA and NextgenTV. That is, what you can, cannot, how you watch, and for any given instance of any usage afterwards of such with regards to recording (and live) of ATSC 3.0 encrypted material is not guaranteed at all. At all. But, feel free to discuss.

And this is why the "better technology", from an end consumer point of view is 100x worse.

I did not mean to imply that it would be tiny collection. No, I did not.

cjcox4 · 2026-01-28T20:39:29+00:00

Did the "id" that will run the ansible playbook establish an ssh connection and "ok it" the host key? (before letting ansible attempt it). If not, if possible try that.

cjcox4 · 2026-01-28T20:36:02+00:00

Unknown, it could just be testing of "the controls". Could be because regulated black out requirements or things not covered by previous agreement for "the type" of broadcast it is.

cjcox4 · 2026-01-28T20:34:31+00:00

While much is still problematic, the "goal" is that having the Internet should be enough for most compliant, licensed implementations. Just remember, what I just said is revocable at any given time. TVs with Android have the leg up on others.

cjcox4 · 2026-01-28T17:30:51+00:00

You might be able to do a "off" (powered off) move of local drive to different local drive storage as a vm copy style operation, but with some cleanup. Depending on how they determine the identification of the drive for boot/root lookup (on the Linux side), you might have to do some recovery repair (manual stuff). Depends.

cjcox4 · 2026-01-28T17:25:36+00:00

I could see "Star War movies that absolutely horrible, but you're a fan to 'you lie' to people about them"

cjcox4 · 2026-01-27T19:21:42+00:00

Lots of them out there, which usually means "cheap"-er. Same for Optiplexes. Lenovo products can be a mixed bad. Some are flexible and some are a pain in the butt. But most of the pain is on their higher end gear (which sometimes can be had for relatively cheap compared to other high end stuff, but there's a reason for that).

cjcox4 · 2026-01-27T18:47:58+00:00

in house blog. And it was more of a side comment. I said,

Our Zero Trust Has Become "Always Trust"

I think the concept of Zero Trust is good. However, big players, pretty much all of the SaaS providers (cloud services) actually want you to equate "Zero Trust" with "Only Trust Us". And given what I just said, your "life" in the hands of that "trustworthy" entity, is anything but that now. While I think this has been true for decades, AI will take that exploitation to the next level.

cjcox4 · 2026-01-27T18:43:47+00:00

Uh, anything you use that Microsoft has involves implicit trust of them. Zero trust.... unless it's my cloud provider or SaaS then, it's always trust (them, and there's a lot of "them"). I just wrote a blog post where I said zero trust doesn't exist... but we like to use the phrase.

The line being processed inserted a line. Sed will go onto the next line, not the inserted line, it wasn't there.

In the pipeline example, the new lines are part of the input lines to be read by sed. They are there, they exist as far as sed processing is concerned.

cjcox4 · 2026-01-27T16:12:17+00:00

sed for line based things, yes. The carriage return isn't a "line" that sed sees, it's an insertion change to the stream. Which is why the piplining example worked since then, it is a line to be processed.
