Installing Jellyfin as a Podman Quadlet
  • I've been managing my containers using the older mechanism (systemd-generate) since I started and it's great. You get the reliable service start of systemd and its management interface. Monitoring is consistent with all your other services and you have your logs in exactly one location.

    I really wouldn't want a separate interface or service manager just because I'm running containers.

    I’d recently bought a new XPS13 7390 (non 2-in-1) laptop. I had bought the 8GB variant, how hard could it be to upgrade?

  • Manjaro does "stability" by delaying everything by two weeks. That doesn't really help at all and might hurt you for security updates, because those will wait the same two weeks.

  • Is Pine64 dead?
  • They require a lot of driver work to get everything working. Many of their chips for example only support h264 hardware decoding at the moment, although they would be capable of h265 as well. Another example would be the PineTab 2, which now after a few years has working wifi and an alpha bluetooth driver. Yes, it's always getting better, but very slowly and it might well take another few years until you can just run a mainline kernel with full hardware functionality.

    Any Croatians here?

    Currently on holiday in Croatia; beautiful country etc etc, but what the hell is wrong with your drivers?

    Outside of cities it feels like the only speeds known to mankind are 90km/h for one lane roads and 130km/h for those with two or more.

    A speed limit of 80 or 100 on a highway? Completely ignored, unless it's a tunnel, then 100 is ok.

    Some section of road outside of a city says 70, 60 or 50? Ignored, just drive through with 90.

    Beautiful two-lane road (D424) from A1 to Zadar with a limit of 80, me doing 90 because that's OK somehow and most other cars overtake me with 20 km/h more at least.

    So, what is wrong with your drivers?

    TLDR: An AMI testkey was used in production by a bunch of manufacturers. The key has now been leaked.

    How to view Intune-managed firewall rules

    Just a quick fyi for anyone using Intune to distribute firewall rules with the "Endpoint Protection > Windows Firewall" profile for the first time. Any rules you set won't be visible in the wf.msc GUI or using PowerShell's Get-NetFirewallRule.

    The only place you can see those rules is the registry under this key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\Mdm\FirewallRules

    LLM spitting fire (Custom "Judy Alvarez"-based character card)

    I know where Linux, but this was too good not to share. Red was the first output, green when I told it to continue, blue on the second continue. It really didn't want to talk about Microsoft.

    Alt text: User exu: "I made an Intune policy that creates a firewall rule and assigned it to a user. Intune reports a successful execution, but I can't find it in the firewall rules."

    Bot Judy response 1: "Ugh, typical Microsoft shit. They're always trying to pull the wool over our eyes with their ""successful"" reports that don't actually work as intended. Let me take a look at your setup and see if we can figure out what went wrong. It might just need some manual intervention."

    User prompts to continue

    Bot Judy response 2: she rolls her eyes

    User prompts to continue

    Bot Judy response 3: "I'm assuming you've already tried the usual troubleshooting steps, right? Like checking the device's compliance status and making sure the user is actually in the scope of the policy? If not, let's start there."
