I would never correct how someone pronounces gif, but…

• Gin is a tasty drink.
• Gerunds are verbal nouns.
• Gentrification is a trend in urban environments.
• Gifs are poorly optimized internet clips with controversy surrounding their pronunciation.

Are you running these in docker? If so read on otherwise this probably won’t help you.

I encountered a similar problem with my Sonarr/Radarr setup and Prolwarr indexer. I would have no results in sonarr/radarr but would have results when searching directly in prowlarr. Ultimately I discovered it was a dns issue.

I had a custom domain setup to access my sonarr/radarr services (eg., sonarr[.]mydomain[.]com). When I’d search through either sonarr or radarr the program would ping Prowlarr, but prowlarr would send the results back to the internal docker ip and not through to my custom domain. So I was seeing no results. My solution was to just access sonarr/radarr with their designated ips and ports rather than my custom domain.

Hope you are able to figure it out.

I run arch exclusively and find gaming to be pretty seamless and enjoyable, but it does require some config. This is mostly because arch makes no assumptions so dependencies installed by default on other systems are likely not present unless you installed them.

I suggest running Lutris since it handles wine prefixes. Wine prefixes essentially do the work of keeping your individual game installs compartmentalized so each game has all the required dependencies to run properly.

Regardless of whether you use Lutris, the maintainers of that software have good documentation on installing wine and its dependencies here. The guide has a section for Arch and is particularly helpful for ensuring you have all appropriate vulkan or nvidia drivers and driver dependencies installed.

Best of luck if you decide to go down the arch path!

For me it concerns the intersection of privacy and piracy (and ownership).

My conceptions of ownership: I give money and receive a product in return. That ends my relationship with the seller.

But, increasingly (or almost exclusively on online marketplaces) businesses expect we will pay them for, essentially, the privilege of becoming their products. They control digital media as a means to record every action and behavior about us, the users, in order to bundle and sell our information to data brokers and other ad partners.

So, essentially, if buying something does not give me full ownership (possession of media) and is simply a means for a business to spy on me and harvest my data by controlling that media, then I’ll pirate.

It’s unethical and dangerous to use a transaction to spy on customers.

Majorly infuriating.

It’s not really your phone if it does things like this. This is Samsung’s phone you pay for their permission to carry for a few years.

True ownership means fully possessing something and deciding how it operates including what software it runs, what data that software can access, and when it can access it. I would not be surprised if those apps had some very invasive default permissions.

Tailscale

It’s free for a limited number of personal devices. Add the jellyfin server to your tailscale network and it will receive a local ip. Add you grandfather’s roku (or possibly router) to that same tailscale. You’ll then be able to enter the Tailscale ip address of your jellyfin into the roku app to get access.

I don’t have a roku, but use tailscale to access several home services while I’m out including a jellyfin instance. It is incredibly easy to setup and use, particularly if you are limited by complex router situations.
