    This is probably the wrong post to ask this question, so sorry in advance.

    I have a dual boot Linux + Windows. Jellyfin runs wonderfully on muy Linux partition with docker-compose. Anybody knows how can I clone it in my Windows partition, such that configs, metada and accounts remain the same? I’ve failed to do this, and only the media volume remaines identical on both OS.




    1. Not a node, but a proxy. Entry node’s IPs in Tor are publicly known, so they are easy to censor. With Snowflake you create a proxy (bridge) between a censored user and an entry node, and since your IP is not listed as a node, you help the user bypass the censorship.

    2. In theory, nope. But if the user is doing something bad, a prosecutor could argue you helped them to do so. I don’t know about any case like this involving Snowflake, and I am not a lawyer. You could be a target if you were to host material, which is not the case with Snowflake.

    In case it helps, I’ve been running the extension with no trouble that I’m aware of for a few years.









  • The torrent protocol works by having uploader (seeders) users sharing their files to downloader users (leechers). Users are topically both seeders and leechers.

    With that in mind, to seed a file means to share it with others. And yes, you need your torrent client open for that. QBitTorrent is amazing and doesn’t have much overhead in your system, plus you can limit your upload speed and net upload. Some console-based torrent apps are even lighter. No VPS required unless you have specific constraints.

    Disagree on the semantics. Physical realities are concepts as well. “Energy”, despite being an extremely useful physical measurement, is an abstract concept. “Physical realities” and “concepts” are not mutually exclusive nor antonymous words.

    In this case, the Aries/vernal point is a concept used to define coordinate systems using physical measures from Earth.


  • Unrelated, but the other day I read that the main computer for core calculation in Fukushima’s nuclear plant used to run a very old CPU with 4 cores. All calculations are done in each core, and the result must be exactly the same. If one of them was different, they knew there was a bit flip, and can discard that one calculation for that one core.



  • Disagree on 7 and 8

    For 7: References and sources are a must, unless everything is your own work. They should not be put at the end of the slides because the public does not have access to your file, so they cannot go back and forth to properly read the source like they can in a paper. The way I do this is simply putting “Source: blablablabla” in a smaller font, so the reader can easily recognize it as a source and ignore it if they want to.

    For 8: This greatly improves the public’s ability to ask you questions, as they can just say you “Please go back to slide #X”, instead of having to explain the content of the slide.

    Keep in mind these are used in my scientific academic background, perhaps outside of it they are not as important.



  • I would like to add a few more tips, based in my experience in an academic background:

    1. Don’t go back in the presentation to refer to something. If you want to refer to a slide/graphic you already explained, you put the slide/graphic once again, but do not go back several slides.

    2. Use big fonts. Text should be clearly readable in any part of the room you are presenting.

    3. References and sources should be put as a footnote in each slide, not as a big ass slide at the end of the presentation.

    4. Enumerate your slides.

    5. Time and flow quality is just as important -or maybe more- than the visual quality. It is a must to stay behind a 10% error margin of the alocated time. So in a 10 minutes presentation, always stay between 9 and 11 minutes (ideally between 9:30 and 10).
