With a reverse proxy, I don't see how this would work. The whole way the reverse proxy works is you use a subdomain name ("jellyfin.yourdomain.org") to access Jellyfin, rather than some other service on your server. The reverse proxy sees the subdomain name that was used in the HTTP request, and routes the traffic based on that. Scanning only the IP address and port won't get attackers to Jellyfin; they need to know the subdomain name as well.
You've freed up 2 hours per dev per week so they can work on something else that might generate profit. Even if they goof off for an hour, that's another hour doing something useful that they weren't doing before.
You've also possibly saved some money by automating a task that was previously manual, reducing or eliminating human errors that could have compounding costs.
And as someone else pointed out, you've made the work environment a little better by not wasting the devs' time on a silly manual task, which might reduce turnover.
>...I see similarities between the common attention failures that humans make. I forgot this one thing and it fucks everything up, or you just told me but I have too much in my mind as context that I forget that piece
Or you're working in a trendy, modern open-plan office and between the noise from the salespeople nearby talking loudly to customers on their speakerphones, some coworkers talking about their medical issues, and the guy right next to you talking loudly to himself in a different language, you're unable to concentrate at all on your programming task.
>if the business decisions were led by workers instead of a group of tyrants it'll most likely be a better decision.
I don't see how. The workers will want to work on things that they enjoy, or that make them look good, regardless of how much they help the company's bottom line. Why would workers not want to build mini-empires of their own? If you're thinking that other workers in the company would vote them down, the problem with this is idea is that other workers in the company won't know about or understand why this time-wasting group is doing what it's doing, because it's not part of their competency. Do you keep track of business decisions and happenings in some other group in your company (assuming you're in a large organization)? Of course not; you don't have time to keep track of everything happening across the organization. So why would workers in your worker-led company do any better?
The entire point of leadership is that individuals don't have the time or expertise to know all this stuff and make smart decisions.
It may seem "harsh", but this is simply the reality of using proprietary software. You don't have any control over it, and unless you stick with a particular version, it can change at any time (sometimes called a "rugpull"). And with anything internet-connected, it's not usually a good idea to stick with an old version because of security issues.
With open-source software, this just isn't a problem. Even if the company behind it decides to turn evil, the community can fork it and continue on. Just look at Emby for example: it did a rugpull and changed to a proprietary license, so the community forked it and made Jellyfin.
>Microsoft has worked for many years on their glass memory devices, which have much more important advantages, and they are still far from being able to sell such devices, mainly due to the cost of the required lasers, for which there is a chicken-and-egg problem
So what's the deal here? I've tried reading about these devices, but MS's web pages are a little sparse on info and nothing's changed much in years. I guess the lasers used in BluRay burners aren't powerful enough?
>To be honest I think FTL is likelier than magical "sticks you to a fixed point in space relative to a rotating planet"-technology.
I disagree. I'm no physicist, but given how gravity seems to be related to the structure of spacetime according to Einsteinian physics, and a lot of FTL ideas seem to center on the idea of "warping" spacetime, I suspect the two are highly related, and if FTL is possible at all, it'll be also related to artificial gravity.
This isn't quite right either. It's "they gain less money than they might potentially gain if piracy weren't physically possible". If the piracy avenues didn't exist, how many people would actually pay full price to the legitimate sources, and how many people would simply go without?
That's a good question. When (if) we figure out how to practically travel at FTL speeds with a "warp drive", we might figure out the answer to this question too.
>I know flying cars are some sort of futuristic trope, yet I cringe at it every time I see it. They always assume magical infinite power.
No, they assume magical anti-gravity technology. "magical infinite power" implies they're basically a hovercraft, forcing air downwards to hover. Without a shroud, even with infinite energy available, this means constantly blasting high-speed air all around the vehicle, which has some really obvious practical problems. It works for drones because they're small and lightweight and not near the ground and not even that close to each other.
>Lifting stuff against gravity is not free
It's close to free when you have magical anti-gravity technology. Similarly, traveling to other star systems hundreds of lightyears away in a couple days isn't so hard when you have magical FTL propulsion technology that somehow warps spacetime.
It's not a great way, admittedly, but there is a very high correlation between Republican voters and religiosity. Very high turnout for Republican candidates plus lots of active churches in an economically-poor area I think is a reliable indication that atheism in that area is low.
I think it should be fairly easy to determine if atheists really are outsiders in parts of the US or if it's just perception: just look at voting results, and church attendance for any given area. I don't think it's merely perception at all; visit any rural area and you'll likely see a surprising number of churches relative to the population.
Also, seeing people walking around in public doesn't tell you anything about their religious beliefs unless they're in some sect where they make it obvious with their clothing or hairstyle.
>I am convinced that the vast majority of professionals simply don't bother to remember and, ESPECIALLY WITH GIT, just look stuff up every single time the workflow deviates from their daily usage
Partly that, but for me at least, I have a bunch of simple bash scripts and aliases for things I do frequently. Git makes this really easy because you can set aliases for lots of custom commands in the .gitconfig file.
Don't Blu-Rays and DVDs have unskippable ads built in, including the FBI notice?
