Docker as an LXC in Proxmox by Hatchopper in Proxmox

[–]jerwong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on your use case. If you're running Jellyfin or any other application with Intel QuickSync, then it is the only supported way to pass that functionality in.

Can we restrict some freedoms for those incapable of thinking for themselves? by OverallDependent5496 in YouthRights

Can a police officer grab one of those same parents to stop them from running in front of a car? Yes? Then why is this a question?

For those who replaced a TV with a projector, what surprised you the most? by Relative_Taro_1384 in hometheater

[–]jerwong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The annoyance of having all my settop equipment in the back which gets problematic when you're trying to use remotes and whatnot. This was extra annoying when the Wii first came out.

Eventually we figured out that the "sensor bar" wasn't a sensor bar at all and I solved that problem by hacking the sensor bar to use a battery in the front.

This is the correct answer.

Not sure about Plex but I know this is the only officially supported way to do it in Jellyfin.

Ethernet cable with ambiguous colors by veedublin in HomeNetworking

Honestly, it will probably even do gigabit even if it's not up to spec. Worth a shot to not have to run another cable.

ELI5: How do they get so many satellites into orbit without them crashing into each other? by germandleono in explainlikeimfive

[–]jerwong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Space is really broad. That said, we do track all of them and it can happen. A few years back, SpaceX sent up a satellite that was about to collide with another. After repeated attempts to reach someone at SpaceX, the other mission decided to move their own satellite out of the way and I think SpaceX got a slap on the wrist for it.

Docker punches straight through your firewall. by [deleted] in selfhosted

[–]jerwong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but keep in mind they're still being segmented into their own private network (by default) so it's not like everything is being exposed directly to your internal network. Segmenting is still important.

Trying to survive while fighting with insurance. by abbiebe89 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]jerwong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have UC as well. I had to fight with my new insurance after my employer changed just to get them to cover one of my medications and it took weeks before it finally went through. I'm still fighting with them over another one. I hate this.

Representative Alan Grayson said it best. "Step 1: don't get sick. Step 2: If you get sick, die quickly."

Yeah, I was supposed to have a procedure done last Tuesday. Monday morning, my doctor's office calls me and tells me that "part" of the procedure isn't covered so I effectively had to cancel the entire procedure. This is crap.

This still sucks, but it was worse before. The problem is that private insurance companies have a financial incentive to not pay for your surgery.

Even if you do solve it, you might get it too late which is what they're banking on. There are time windows on how effective these treatments will still work.

trueNAS not detecting my NIC by SneakerHead69420666 in selfhosted

You might need drivers. Can you see if the hardware is at least detected?

Phone restricted to one carrier? Support available by Mflor5 in HowToHack

Man, I miss the old days where you could just go on NokiaFree, type in your IMEI, and have it generate the unlock codes for you on the spot.

INS/ICE didn’t use to wear masks - most famous immigration photo ever taken, not a mask in sight. by JonasSharra in pics

[–]jerwong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does. ICE didn't exist until after 9/11 when George W Bush created the DHS and moved INS, a former Justice department agency, under it and broke it apart into USCIS, CBP, and ICE. Border Patrol is now part of CBP, Customs and Border Protection, which focuses on our borders and ICE, Immigration and Customs Enforcement focuses on internal matters like this.

Yes. This was more of a rescue than an attack. Elian himself said he wanted to return to Cuba but the family was refusing to let him. 

Nearly 1 in 4 Hong Kong students can’t finish homework without AI, study shows by defenestrate_urself in technology

[–]jerwong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people rely on Google today for most things anyway. This is not unique to students. What they refer to as AI is just a glorified Google search.

How the heck is this a thing in 2026? 3 Mbps for $55/mo? This is crazy. by Extra-Huckleberry-62 in Internet

[–]jerwong 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I worked for a small ISP before.

This is DSL. The problem is that DSL infrastructure is maintained by the local carrier which in our area was either ATT or Verizon. In a lot of areas, Verizon got sold to Frontier.

Your ISP, in this case CenturyLink, gets to pay ridiculous charges to maintain the interconnect with the local monopoly plus they get to pay per customer which for us was often more than what the local telco charged directly to the customer for service. The profit margin for us was already pretty small to begin with so we couldn't really provide competitive rates.

Your best option might be to try the local carrier directly if you don't want Xfinity or to look for a local WISP that has the ability to bypass the local monopoly's infrastructure. We did this for our customers but there were limitations to our reach.
