  Wether you like it or not, some people don’t have the luxury to stop fighting, even more so right now with so-called democratic governments that brutalize, lock up and torture people for their opinions, their sexuality or their skin color.

  Ignore these debates if you wish, and disconnect from social networks if you need to rest. But don’t call for people to stop fighting when their very existence is put at risk by people like DHH, that Framework decided to support.

  AV1 is not an encoder. If you watch AV1 encoded videos, you’re using AV1.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AOMedia Will Be Talking More About The AV2 Video Codec Later This Month⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That happens all the time. There’s no way to guarantee that it won’t happen with any codec or really with anything.

  Yes, so there’s no reason to hold back on releasing updates, since it could very well happen on AV1.

  It is very expensive to defend against even when the claim is bogus.

  The principle behind AV1, once again, is to have a codec that is protected from patent trolls. Those who are part of the AOM consortium, which developed this codec, have all contractually agreed to unconditionally license all patents they hold that are necessary for the implementation of the codec.

  And those who are not part of the consortium and who would like to claim patents relating to the AV1 or AV2 codecs would have to face the legal teams of the companies part of said consortium, meaning Amazon, Alibaba, Adobe, AMD, Cisco, Google, Intel, Microsoft, Mozilla Foundation, ARM, Huawei, Samsung, Tencent, Meta, Nvidia, Apple, Netflix, and other large companies.

  The AV1 and AV2 codecs, after perhaps H264, are the most secure codecs available today in terms of patent trolls. Nobody has both the will and the means to attack it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AOMedia Will Be Talking More About The AV2 Video Codec Later This Month⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  AV1 and AV2 are both patent free, that’s the point. Maybe you should start educating yourself a bit on the subject before ranting?

  No, Jellyseerr is a selfhosted webapp where you request movies and shows, which will be searched and downloaded by your configured Sonarr/Radarr, which will populate your Jellyfin.

  You can see it as a user-friendly Sonarr+Radarr front-end, that you can sync with Jellyfin users, so they can go and request content directly without you manually adding things in Radarr/Sonarr.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A country like France would need ~20 STEPs like Grand’Maison to provide for a single winter night (~60GW for ~14h). That’s 100-200km² to put under water, a massive ecological disaster, and a massive hazard.

  And you must find a way to produce enough energy and find enough water to recharge your STEPs in the next 10h before the next night.

  And that’s with the current France needs, with only 25-30% of its energy being decarbonized electricity.

  Powering an entire country without hydro, geo, nuclear or fossils is just plain science fiction. And hydro and geo cannot be built everywhere, so realistically, you either go fossils, or nuclear to have clean electricity.

  And you can verify it empirically: even with trillion invested in solar and wind, the only countries which have decarbonized their electricity have massive hydro/geo/nuclear.

  Protecting children from these cesspools is a matter of sanitary measures. I would even go further and just kill Meta, Twitter, Tiktok and the likes just for being major platforms for espionage, disinformation, and democratic destabilization, particularly used by hostile foreign powers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plex got hacked.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I already answered your second paragraph: Jellyfin holds no sensible data.

  And there is no central server gathering data from all users, an hacker would need to find and break in multiple Jellyfin instances, to get useless data from 1 to maybe 10 users each time.

  And Plex is not easier to install and secure than Jellyfin.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plex got hacked.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My Jellyfin is behind a Crowdsec + Cloudflare proxy with geoblocking and other protections + Reverse Proxy with additional protections, in a rootless Docker container with no access to the Docker socket, and has only access to a mounted folder which contains just downloaded movies and shows. The effort to break in is high, the reward very low.

  But the most important difference between Jellyfin and Plex is that neither Jellyfin devs nor Jellyfin instances have any personal or credit card information from their users, and therefore are way less a problem of hacked into.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Solar panels in space could cut Europe's renewable energy needs by 80%⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  but right now renewable energy is by far cheaper and faster to build than nuclear energy.

  No. Building a solar or wind plant is cheaper and faster than building a nuclear plant, sure, but that’s not what we’re aiming for. The goal is to decarbonize electricity by phasing out fossils.

  Replacing all fossil-based electricity production nationwide is quite cheap for nuclear when done right (e.g. France, planning for decades and multiple reactors at once, while actually politically supporting your industry, instead of throwing a project once in a while and letting it fight in courts by itself against NIMBY and anti-nuclears).

  Replacing fossils with solar and wind power is science fiction. There is not a single country in the world that has decarbonized its electricity without significant decarbonized and controllable electricity capacities, or to name them: hydro or nuclear. Except that you just can’t build hydro anywhere, and most countries’ capacities are limited.

  You can’t claim that solar and wind are cheaper than nuclear, because solar and wind just can’t do what nuclear can, and can at best be complementary to other controllable power sources.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Solar panels in space could cut Europe's renewable energy needs by 80%⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Nuclear has never been cost-efficient, it’s just that the costs have been buried in state subsidies to the industry and its supply chain.

  A lie repeated again and again.

  French Cour des Comptes has released a report, back in 2012, the costs of the french nuclear fleet, everything included: 121 billions of euros between 1960 and 2010.

  2,4 billions a year. To provide decarbonized and reliable electricity for decades.

  To put in perspective, Germany is more than a trillion of euros in for their Energiewende, or about 40 billions of euros a year for ~25 years, and they still have one of the costliest and dirtiest electricity or Europe, while still not being close to stop coal and having no plan to get out of gas.

  And for more perspective, EDF had 118 billions of dollars of revenues in 2024, mostly coming from nuclear, and 11 billions of net results, including the payback of the interests of the debt that the french government imposed on EDF.

  Anyone claiming nuclear has never been or can’t be profitable or cost-efficient is either uneducated or a liar.

  When done right, nuclear is profitable as fuck, that’s empirically proved.

  You’re talking like a Elon Musk wanna-be, even using shitty metaphors that mask all the complexity of the problems, and the cruelty that these kinds of decisions imply.

  You want to throw 20k employees out without any consideration for the economic and personal consequences, not to mention all the other companies around who will see their business sometimes heavily impacted.

  All this to make a stupid metaphor. You’re 14 at best.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to harden against SSH brute-forcing?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You can look up for:

  • Setting up max authentication attemps per connection -> slows up a lot brute force attack, if your password is strong enough, that’s already a big step to secure your server.
  • Generate SSH Keys and disable password authentication -> do this only if you’re connecting through the same devices, because you won’t be able to connect from any device that has not being set up.
  • Set up Crowdsec -> it’s a service which scans logs and will block access to any suspicious IPs. It also relies on a crowdsourced list of I.P.s that are identified as threat and will preventively block them

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How would world politics be like if the top 100 countries (in terms of military strength) all had their own nuclear arsenals?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I live 2000km from Chernobyl

  Chernobyl is not comparable to a nuclear bomb. Chernobyl is a reactor, made to release a steadily amount of radiations for years to make electricity.

  Chernobyl irradiated a large area because the graphite that was located in the reactor core has burned, and the fumes have been carried by the wind, taking a lot of high-level activity nuclear waste hundred or thousands of kilometers away.

  A bomb is way smaller than a reactor, and is designed to release most of its energy instantly to make the biggest explosion possible. That means a short burst of radioactivity very high level of radioactivity, with a very small half-life.

  A few days after a bomb explodes, most of the radiations would have depleted.

  That’s not brain drain. Brain drain is when high qualified people leave their country, mostly because of the lack of infrastructures costing them opportunities for studying or working in their respective field.

  What you’re talking about is capital flight. This is an issue that is systematically raised as a counter-argument by liberals in debates on taxation. The problem is that it is seriously overestimated:

  • Leaving a country is a lot more complicated than it sounds: you lose your family, your friends, your culture, your habits. Many millionaires who leave their country end up coming back after a few years.
  • You can’t relocate your real estate investments.
  • Going abroad doesn’t exempt you from paying taxes (especially exit taxes).
  • A country that wishes to do so can prohibit the relocation of a profitable company, or even nationalize it.
  • Many rich people who threaten to leave if taxes are raised end up doing the math: if there’s a profitable business, they’ll stay. And in a country that finances its infrastructure soundly and has a good distribution of wealth, there’s profitable business to be had.
