By god, lemmy is civilised. 😂 I love it.

I can see what you mean, too, but am still on the liking him side I guess. And anyway, l'art pour l'art and all that, right? 😅

Hm, interesting. I didn't read it like that, but as an economist trying to make sense of what's going on and explain it to others. I didn't question whether the thoughts are original, neither do I know if there are holes in his concepts that I as a non-economist am blind to. My personal opinion, anyway, is that the message is important today (or better yet 15 years ago but nobody would have listened 😉), no matter whether he is primarily motivated by his ego or what.

Maybe this makes me part of the people he caters to, but that line of thinking doesn't lead anywhere meaningful anyway, I think.

I liked the end of the book: A call to action for us to come up with tools and technological solutions for "users" to stand together so we can create resistance against overly powerful cooperations and demand our rights. I don't think it's hypocritical for him to ask for this either. We need people to point problems out and problem solvers, both.

Have you read more of what he wrote or how did you come by that opinion on him? Technofeudalism and a number of interviews leading up to the book release was the first I was exposed to him.

I have a Raspberry Pi 3 with a Hifiberry DAC running OSMC (nicely packaged Kodi on top of Debian) acting as my media center and recently installed Jellycon with the hopes of being able to use server side transcoding for a few formats my old TV doesn't support.

My verdict: Menu navigation is slow, but it's a native kodi integration (supports widgets) and playback works great once you made your way through the menus. You can selectively set transcoding options per file type which is exactly what I needed.

Best solution I've seen so far, as it also does IR remote passthrough over HDMI if your TV supports it. The addon works in any kodi setup of course. I think there might be a way to start playback from the Jellyfin web UI but haven't bothered with it. This would fully remedy the menu slowness, I think.

Is that a way of saying you think he's wrong?

I thought the book had an interesting core idea, even if his grasp on technology seems rather loose and I really disliked the literary device he used to explain said idea.

What's your take on it?

stuck in the middle with you

I strongly disagree with this statement. Just because it's hard to do doesn't mean it isn't what you rationally decide you want to do. The reason for staying and the reason for leaving are orthogonal to one another or else there wouldn't be a conflict. Compare to substance addiction: You decide you want to stop, but you need.

It's only fair.

The answer seems to always be "not segmented enough". ;)

Haha, why do I even ask.

This is a good hint, I'm going to take a look at that. Thank you!

I never specified, I think, and probably wasn't too clear on it myself. Thanks for your insights, I'll try to take them to my configuration now.

This is exactly the type of answer I was looking for. Thanks a bunch.

So but in that way, having a proxy on the LAN that knows about internal services, and another proxy that is exposed publicly but is only aware of public services does help by reducing firewall rule complexity. Would you say that statement is correct?
