- Comment on Fortnite returns to iPhone app store in US, ending exile imposed by Apple 5 days ago:
A valid point, the main issue at hand is that the iPhone is locked down to Apple’s approved store - you can’t just install things like a regular computer. That’s really the core of the lawsuit regarding the insane 30% cut Apple forces on their mobile computing platform.

Jellyfin equivalent which doesn’t require a subscription for your own media library.

Steam isn’t a monopoly.
The PC is an open platform, you can use any game store or launcher you want - unlike the iPhone, Android (without sideloading), PlayStation, switch, or Xbox.

Corporate nets use 802.1X authentication, risk of a DHCP hijack is very low.
As someone who works in large corporate networks, we absolutely don’t assign static IPs outside of core network gear, it’s impossible to manage a fleet of servers in this way with scaling in mind.
- Comment on Issues with Immich 2 months ago:
Instead of doing a manual action in two different places and having to keep them in sync, just do it once on the DHCP server. Setting a static IP on the server is superfluous.
- Comment on Immich: opinion revised 2 months ago:
good general advice until you have to try to explain to your SO the VPN is required on their smart TV to access Jellyfin.
- Comment on Issues with Immich 2 months ago:
don’t do this, use DHCP reservations instead so you actually have a list of what all your servers are and most routers register hostnames in DNS for you which is even better.
