In English, it’s usually used in a context where there’s some humor, frustration, or irony involved, like in the comic.

If I wanted to give it a bold facelift I’d just use the top one and remove the letters. Gives it an arrogant, “if you have to ask what this is…” vibe, which is probably a good thing for them.

Not on Netflix in my region :(

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.

How do we get everyone angry.

This is the problem — taking away my coffee makes me angry, but I’ll be too tired to do anything about it.

While “the system” is absolutely at fault for this, lifestyle creep — and changing finances — is very real.

For example, if you can almost afford a house, and your rental is modest, you’re probably not spending all of your take-home. But if you make just a little bit more it might make financial sense to buy a house, stretching your budget to the max. Short term this really hurts, but long term may end up being a savvy decision.

Opting for a hefty mortgage can be risky, but can also pay off in the long run — especially in a place like California where property taxes are basically fixed at time of purchase.

Come see the vise grips inherent in the system! Help! Help! I’m being drill pressed!

I’m holding out for Aperture Science, if for no other reason than that their AI has a dry, dark sense of humor.

IIRC Torvalds uses Fedora.

(Debian for me.)

Unfortunate abbreviation…

I keep hearing about grocery prices, but no one has any explanation of what Biden was supposed to do about it that he wasn’t already doing, or how Trump will handle it better.

Completely agree. I think it’s a “you break it you buy it” situation with voters.

And it’s not based in reason — Biden’s administration was staring down the barrel of a recession, and yet here we are, having completely avoided it. That’s a pretty successful navigation of the economic hand that Biden was dealt, if you ask me. But at the end of the day “groceries more expensive” = “we need someone else in the white house” for a lot of voters, I guess.
