You can only mutate so much before it’s not a flu virus.

“Thou shalt have no other gods before me” less so.

“They’re the same!” 🙄

enough, a lot, more demanding.

You need to give some sort of guidance here.

How much money are you willing to spend? Resiliency is expensive.

There’s a part of the virus which doesn’t (or can’t?) mutate. There has been talk about creating a vaccine that allows the body to target that bit.

And it could be used to undermine the civil liberties of U.S. citizens.

Feature.

The Trump administration has not clearly defined what it means by “Antifa.”

Also a feature.

Bondi had zero credibility. Wait and see.

That’s great news! I’m still wondering if they can do a universal flu vaccine now too. That would be game changing.

“Despite all the advantages of mRNA, I’m concerned that our current DHHS has no or little interest in the science,” Hotez said.

He’s being kind - Kennedy has active interest in pseudoscience.

Self-hosting is trivial and everyone can do it.

So is open heart surgery. Unless you want it to end successfully.

Have you forgotten that you too started at 0?

Not at all. In fact I remember the day my server was hacked because I’d left a service running that had a vulnerability in it. I remember changing passwords, calling my bank to ensure there had been no fraudulent charges, etc. I remember “war driving” to find vulnerable WiFi networks. I remember changing default passwords on a service setup by a client of mine.

As I said - it’s not gate-keeping it’s experience.

Yes, it sometimes can be difficult and frustrating, but so long as someone, anyone, is willing to try and learn and fail and retry, they can get my help

Teaching is “gate-keeping” apparently. You can’t tell somebody that they need to learn something! You just need to give them a link to a url and say “run this thing as root and your stuff will work - totally not a scam tho”.

“Has anyone noticed that medical doctors gate-keep people doing open heart surgery?”

Why do you assume self-hosting is and can be trivial? It is NOT for everybody. You should have some base level of technical knowledge. You should expect to need to learn some things. It’s not a badge of honor, it’s experience.

My project focuses on building a tool that makes self-hosting more accessible without sacrificing data ownership

Good luck with that. Don’t get your users pwned in the process. You’re now responsible for the security of people who think “opening a command line” is too difficult.

I’m happy you’re discovering the Linux CLI, but this is pretty ridiculous. mpv, vlc, mplayer, etc. all serve very different uses from jellyfin.
