Are we really gonna sit here and act like Russia doesn't do the same governmental meddling in other countries? This is really just global politics 101, and it wasn't worth invading a country over.

they want the conflict to end

Ukraine wants the conflict to end with its borders intact and the aggressors out of its territory. It has stated this multiple times, just like any other established country would. It shouldn't have to give up Donbas just for Russia to cease fire for X years and then creep on forward.

If Ukraine truly wanted the conflict to end and just wanted to be bent over by Russia they would send up the white flag. Luckily they won't; thankfully they're fighting; hopefully they continue to push back. Just giving Russia free reign over invaded land sets a bad precedence.

Ukraine didn't invade Russia. Some countries have hostile borders, this isn't uncommon. Invasions to take over the government isn't the solution, but Russia has made the bed that they're gonna lay in. Allowing Russia to take Ukraine sets a dangerous precedence.

I'm not arguing that it hasn't been a proxy war. Of course, NATO doesn't want a global superpower to take over another country. It sets a precedence. Just like they(we) wouldn't want China to freely take over Taiwan.

Sabatoged peace talks? All the peace talks included Russia taking over at least some of Ukraine's land. At which point, they slowly move their borders, encapsulating Ukraine piece by piece, year by year. Submitting to "Peace Talks" in which Russia is able to take some kind of Ukrainian land is submission to Russia.

Ukraine didn't invade Russia. Russia should have simply never invaded Ukraine. Ukraine can fight this with whatever they can get from around the world.

Fucking what?

It doesn't matter what the US supplies Ukraine. It's Ukraines fight. It's up to Ukraine to decide to forfeit the fight or to keep fighting.

By your logic we (humanity) should just let any country invade any other country and take over it's people just because "it's easier to give in than fight." Giving in would be for the benefit of the people, right? That's what you're saying? Fuck right off.

Russia should not have invaded Ukraine in the first place.

I keep seeing this like Donald Trump is going to eliminate genocide if elected. What a braindead comment.

HTTPS with FreeDNS (lemmy.world)

I feel like I have a doozy of a complicated issue and am looking for some guidance.

I'm new to Selfhosting so I got myself an off-the-shelf Asustor NAS. It's got apps which is cool, so I've installed Jellyfin. I want to access my Jellyfin over the web so I've set up DDNS via my Asusstor Manual Connect and FreeDNS. This works well, I can access it over HTTP but the domain is... kind of long and unpleasant, so I got myself a "pretty" domain and setup a CNAME to the FreeDNS. I'm port forwarding on my router, everything works, so far so good.

To make it overtly complicated, I want to make the connection HTTPS. This is where I'm struggling. I've set up the SSL cert for my "pretty" domain via Lets Encrypt, but it times out. I'm not sure if, or how I can make the FreeDNS HTTPS or covered under my Lets Encrypt cert since I don't technically own the FreeDNS domain. My provider doesn't give my any wildcard options on the "pretty" domains cert either.

I've got the HTTPS set on my Asustor and Jellyfin based on the "pretty" domains SSL cert. I've got my port-forwarding 443 to Jellyfins suggested HTTPS port on my router. I feel like the lynchpin is the FreeDNS subdomain handing off the DDNS request but I'm not sure how to solve it. Any suggestions on how I can get this setup to work? Anyone else run a similar setup where they access their local X port via the web via HTTPS?

Open to similar experiences, suggestions, ideas, pretty much anything at this point.

Jellyfin + Audiobooks with Chapters (lemmy.world)

I've started working with Media Servers recently and am starting to get acustom to Jellyfin. I'm using Book Lib Connect and AAX Audio Converter to download and convert my purchased Audiobooks.

I would like my Audiobooks to retain chapters, but I'm not sure the export I'm getting from the above is fully compatible with Jellyfin. Here's what I've tried so far:

Audiobooks

Author
- Book
- - (01) Opening Credits.m4b
- - (02) Chapter 1.m4b
- - etc.
- - Book.txt
- - metadata.json
- - chapters.json

I also have the full m4b file and the aax file in an ignored folder at the top of the book.

Book.txt contains the author, title, narrator, publish year, description, duration. Separated by new lines.

metadata.json contains specific information like purchase date, product #, author #, SKU.

chapters.json contains the actual chapter titles. chapter length, start offset.

Any ideas on how I can get Jellyfin to read the json files? Do I need to write a conversion script into some other file type? Maybe Jellyfin isn't the right software for Audiobooks?

I'm open to ideas, suggestions, or any other advice.

You'd think so, but Chic Fil A is insanely fast to the point where sitting in line probably faster than the walk and wait.

If you want something done a certain way and are not sure if they provide that kind of thing, you're supposed to ask. Some people have their bagels sliced instead of cut, some not at all. Like, just ask.

[-] ProtecyaTec@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

This is correct. It was 1% to a maximum of 15, I'm not sure if it's changed in s2 tho

Does "Selfhosted" mean you actually have a server at home? by ProtecyaTec in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

Does "Selfhosted" mean you actually have a server at home? (lemmy.world)

I'm trying to better understand hosting a Lemmy Instance. Lurking discussions it seems like some people are hosting from the Cloud or VPS. My understanding is that it's better to futureproof by running your own home server so that you have the data and the top most control of hardware, software etc. My understanding is that by hosting an instance via Cloud or VPS you are offloading the data / information to a 3rd party.

Are people actually running their own actual self-hosted servers from home? Do you have any recommended guides on running a Lemmy Instance?
