I really don't think it's the devs driving these decisions...

Ok so it is fully qualified then? I'm just confused because it sounded like you were saying I wasn't using the term correctly in your other comment.

English isn't even the official language of the United States


we don't have an official language.

Various states have official languages (19 states + DC don't have any official language); of these states, English is indeed official, with a few states also recognizing native languages as official alongside English.

Of course that's beside the point, as even calling this sort of racism "thinly veiled" would be far too charitable.

Hmm, my understanding was that FQDN means that anyone will resolve the domain to e.g. the same IP address? Which is the case here (unless DNS rebinding mitigations or similar are employed)


but it doesn't resolve to the same physical host in this case since it's a private IP. Wikipedia:

A fully qualified domain name is distinguished by its lack of ambiguity in terms of DNS zone location in the hierarchy of DNS labels: it can be interpreted only in one way.

In my example, I can run nslookup jellyfin.myexample.com 8.8.8.8 and it resolves to what I expect (a local IP address).

But IANA network professional by any means, so maybe I'm misusing the term?

TIL, thanks. I use namecheap and haven't had any problems (mikrorik router).

If you have your own domain name+control over the DNS entries, a cute trick you can use for Jellyfin is to set up a fully qualified DNS entry to point to your local (private) IP address.

So, you can have jellyfin.example.com point to 192.168.0.100 or similar. Inaccessible to the outside world (assuming you have your servers set up securely, no port forwarding), but local devices can access.

This is useful if you want to play on e.g. Chromecast/Google TV dongle but don't want your traffic going over the Internet.

It's a silly trick to work around the fact that these devices don't always query the local DNS server (e.g., your router), so you need something fully qualified


but a private IP on a public DNS record works just fine!

EulerOS, a Linux distro, was certified UNIX.

But OS X, macOS, and at least one Linux distro are/were UNIX certified.

The network gear I manage is only accessible via VPN, or from a trusted internal network...

...and by the gear I manage, I mean my home network (a router and a few managed switches and access points). If a doofus like me can set it up for my home, I'd think that actual companies would be able to figure it out, too.

Travel expense reimbursement


though many companies have a "no receipt required if under $xyz" policy.

 

People often complain about San Francisco's public transit


and to be sure, it's not perfect by any means (multiple separate agencies doesn't help). But the historic streetcars are pretty neat!

They're painted with the livery of various historic streetcars from all over the country (and a few international, I think). Best of all, they run alongside the modern fleet


same route, same fare.

 

Noticed a few days ago that Sutro Tower's red blinking lights are now white. Just asked them on their website form, but wondered if anyone else knows the story with this.

Personally, I miss the red ones!
