  • [SOLVED] Can't connect to jellyfin-media-player from android app - it was a proxy config issue
  • KLISHDFSDF KLISHDFSDF 2d ago 100%

    Just tried it on my Linux laptop (Debian 12 and also installed via flatpak) and it's also working. Both Linux & Windows versions of Jellyfin Media Player are version 1.11.1.

    Do you have a firewall enabled on either of those Linux devices? Could they be blocking any required in/outgoing ports that need to be open?

    I would refer to this document and ensure these ports are not being blocked: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/networking/ - although this may be unrelated if the android <-> Jellyfin Media Player are using other means to communicate.

  • Why is online privacy so important?
  • KLISHDFSDF KLISHDFSDF 2d ago 100%

    Personally I think its great to have online discussions/questions available on a forum (like lemmy) that are federated and accessible anonymously as it allows answers or discussions to be created and available for others to search and find in the future. There's a lot of content that I find where answers or discussions were posted on reddit, but I can't access it if I'm trying to reach it anonymously (bad for privacy).

    I would encourage these kind of posts as:

    1. They generate content for lemmy/the fediverse.
    2. The new content brings in more people, perspectives, and collaborations.
    3. People seeing active discussions on this site will inspire others to post more and help bring in other perspectives.
    4. Understanding the "Ten thousand" XKCD ^(xkcd.com)^ perspective lets you realize that people are learning all the time and that trying to get feedback in a forum is not a bad thing regardless of how many other options there are.

  • TIL that 1,300 children are still separated from their parents from the Trump era family separation policy
  • KLISHDFSDF KLISHDFSDF 6d ago 80%

    It’s actually still happening under Biden.

    Its a bit more nuanced than that. That's like saying "people who wear seat belts still die". Well yes, that's a fact, but intentionally or not, you're making a claim without context and painting a picture in the mind of others that doesn't reflect reality.

    Under the Trump administration’s so-called “zero tolerance” policy, separations were calculated and deliberate.

    The goal of zero tolerance was to criminally prosecute all adult migrants who entered the country illegally. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) would detain parents and transfer their children into the custody of the Office of Refugee Resettlement.

    “Cruelty was the point of that policy,” Langarica said.

    Biden rescinded the policy in January 2021. Yet, three years later, more than 1,400 families remain separated, according to the latest update from the Family Reunification Task Force.

    The report argues that separations have happened for decades, but under the Biden administration they are a result of bureaucratic processes, lack of transparency and accountability — not purposeful cruelty.

Additionally the music choices in each episode were always top-notch. Note that "a handful of songs were replaced in the versions released to streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu due to licensing issues." [3].

  • Mozilla has fired Chief Product Officer Steve Teixeira after cancer diagnosis

    Sure, but it’s worth asking why the management is so poor

    Could just be incompetence.

    Working in a bigger corp and seeing people continuously fail upwards or get hired into positions where they run around like headless chickens - sometimes the reason is leadership putting people in the wrong role and not holding them accountable because its easy to "fudge metrics" and believe things are going well.

    The strategy I've seen far too often:

    • Deliver a half-working project that is bursting at the seams and requires more work and resources (or introduces a technical debt that most people can't even begin to comprehend).
    • Leadership declares it a success because a long enough train wreck takes time to be noticed when you're near the end of the tracks and the people at the front lines are doing everything they can to avoid it.
    • Find a new job before the shit hits the fan (typically hold off until your RSU's fully vest) and talk about how you implemented X while saving company Y and how successful it was.
    • Leave the place worse off than before.
    • The project/implementation starts showing signs of failure and leadership blames others (because the guy who implemented things is now gone and he did things so well how could it possibly be their fault?)

    Too often I've seen meetings between management not even understanding what their "core issues" are. How do you even make a business better if you don't even understand your pain points?

    It's both fascinating and scary.

    Hard agree. Apple's ecosystem is primarily completely closed-source. If you abandon them or they abandon you you're left with nothing. At least with open source-based projects like Chrome/Firefox you can fork the code and not have to start from zero against a goliath. Apple would never give its customers that kind of leverage.

    but before I do, I figured I'd ask if anyone's aware of any tools/software that covers my basic needs of setting something basic that may alert me if there are any intruders in the network? Needs: 1. Fake ssh login that can trigger a script so I can take care of the rest. 2. Fake network share (cifs/samba) that can trigger a script if anything tries to access it. Would be great if there are any docker images I can just pull, make some minor edits, and run. Thanks!

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/08/22/encryption-imessage-whatsapp-google/

    One feature of apps such as iMessage and WhatsApp is that your texts or voice calls are scrambled and private from everyone. With end-to-end encrypted technology, no one but you and the intended recipients can know what you wrote or said — not hackers, the app companies or the police. Except, not everything is end-to-end encrypted in end-to-end encrypted apps. That could mean what you type in chats are saved on company computers that corporations such as Apple or your phone provider could read. Details such as the timestamps of every text to your boyfriend might not be under lock and key, either. That’s not necessarily bad. Each end-to-end encryption choice has trade-offs. More privacy and security could also make it harder for you to use an app, or can [shield activity](https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/07/us/online-child-sexual-abuse.html) of terrorists and child predators. The mess I’m describing — end-to-end encryption but with certain exceptions — may be a healthy balance of your privacy and our safety. The problem is it’s confusing to know what is encrypted and secret in communications apps, what is not and why it might matter to you. To illuminate the nuances, I broke down five questions about end-to-end encryption for five communications apps. ### Is the content of every message automatically end-to-end encrypted? - WhatsApp: Yes - Apple’s Messages: No - Messages by Google: No - Meta Messenger: No - Signal: Yes The biggest encryption caveat is for the built-in texting apps on iPhones and most Android phones in the United States. Those are Apple’s Messages app, also known as iMessage, and the Messages by Google app. If you use Apple’s app, texts that you send and receive are only end-to-end encrypted if everyone else in the chat is using that app. If the text you see is in blue, the contents of messages are end-to-end encrypted for everyone in the chat. Even if Apple wanted to read your texts, it doesn’t have a key to unscramble those messages. (There’s a caveat in the next section about backup copies.) But the [dreaded green bubbles](https://www.wsj.com/articles/why-apples-imessage-is-winning-teens-dread-the-green-text-bubble-11641618009) are Apple’s warning. If you’re in a group chat with three people using Apple’s chat app and one person on an Android phone, no one’s texts are end-to-end encrypted. Each of your mobile phone providers might save every word of your communications. Those companies could, in theory, read your messages, lose them to thieves or hand them over to police with valid legal orders. Google’s chat app has the same encryption loophole. (For most people in the United States, Messages by Google is the standard texting app on Android phones.) Your texts in Google’s chat app are only end-to-end encrypted if everyone else is using that app. Google shows if your texts are end-to-end encrypted with signs such as a lock icon under texts and another on the send button. ### Are backup copies of your messages automatically encrypted, with no option for the app company to unscramble them? - WhatsApp: Yes - Apple’s Messages: No - Messages by Google: Yes* - Meta Messenger: No - Signal: Yes WhatsApp and Signal don’t let you save copies of your texts or call logs to the app makers’ computers. That means they don’t have saved message copies in a cloud that crooks could break into. But if you buy a new phone and forget your password, WhatsApp and Signal can’t really help you transfer all your old texts. If you back up copies from Apple’s chat app and Meta Messenger, the companies have the keys to unscramble what’s written in encrypted chat copies. Again, these unscrambled text copies can help in criminal investigations or they could be stolen or misused. Apple recently introduced a [choice to fully end-to-end encrypt backup copies](https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/12/07/icloud-apple-encryption/?itid=lk_inline_manual_48) of iCloud accounts, which means not even Apple could unlock your scrambled backup texts. If you pick that option, Apple can’t help recover your chats if you forget your account password. This risk is why Apple [makes this feature a pain to turn on](https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212520), and requires you to list a plan B if you forget your password, such as a personal contact who knows your decryption code. WhatsApp has an option to save [backup copies](https://faq.whatsapp.com/1246476872801203) of your messages to Apple’s or Google’s cloud. WhatsApp doesn’t save those backups. For Messages by Google, the company says chats [backed up to the company’s computers](https://support.google.com/googleone/answer/9149304?hl=en&amp;co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid) are automatically encrypted – as long as your Android phone has a [screen that you need to unlock with a password or another method](https://support.google.com/android/answer/9079129?hl=en). Google gets an asterisk because it says it cannot unscramble your backup texts in its cloud. But it can for attachments like photos. Meta Messenger has been [testing an option](https://about.fb.com/news/2022/08/testing-end-to-end-encrypted-backups-and-more-on-messenger/) for people to turn on fully end-to-end encrypted backups. ### Does the app save your account details in a way it can access? - WhatsApp: Yes - Apple’s Messages: Yes - Messages by Google: Yes - Meta Messenger: Yes - Signal: Yes* Most end-to-end encrypted apps save some “metadata,” or details about you or what you do with the app. They can retrieve the metadata if necessary. The app companies aren’t necessarily specific about which metadata they save and can unlock. This information can make you less private– and it can [help in criminal prosecutions](https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2023/08/08/protonmail-fbi-search-led-to-a-suspect-threatening-a-2020-election-official/?sh=51fd1ff4235c). WhatsApp, for example, may have your general physical location when you use the app and the names of your group chats. Under legal orders, WhatsApp has the ability to log the phone numbers your number communicates with. WhatsApp says these details can help identify spammers and aid in investigations of potential criminal activity including people who share images of child sexual abuse. Signal is a yes with an asterisk because it [doesn’t save much](https://signal.org/bigbrother/) the app can retrieve – just a phone number used to set up an account and the last time the account connected to Signal. ### Are disappearing messages an option? - WhatsApp: Yes - Apple’s Messages: No - Messages by Google: No - Meta Messenger: Yes - Signal: Yes Even with end-to-end encrypted texts, someone on the receiving end could [leak them](https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2021/11/04/keep-texts-private/?itid=lk_inline_manual_77) or [turn them into the police](https://www.cnn.com/2022/10/20/politics/new-messages-show-oath-keepers-leader-was-skeptical-trump-would-act-on-jan-6/index.html). For extra privacy, [WhatsApp](https://faq.whatsapp.com/673193694148537), [Meta Messenger](https://www.facebook.com/help/messenger-app/1039542879410863), and [Signal](https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/360007320771-Set-and-manage-disappearing-messages) have an option to set texts to automatically delete in as little as 24 hours from the phones of everyone in a chat. This isn’t ironclad, either. Someone could take a photo of your messages before they disappear. ### Does the app use the Signal protocol? - WhatsApp: Yes - Apple’s Messages: No - Messages by Google: Yes - Meta Messenger: Yes - Signal: Yes The Signal protocol is considered a gold standard. No one yet has found holes in the end-to-end encryption technology. ### Read more: - [The truth about WhatsApp’s and Apple’s privacy promises](https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/06/09/privacy-whatsapp-apple/?itid=lk_inline_manual_89) - What is secure?
