  • Just get one of these and set everything up in a few browser tabs. Either that or use an OS with workspace support and put the different apps you want on separate workspaces.

    In our livingroom, our old laptop runs Arch Linux with GNOME. Jellyfin is on desktop 1, and Firefox is on desktop 2. Firefox runs Netflix, Spotify, and YouTube in separate tabs and switching between all of these is a keyboard shortcut on the above remote. Frankly, it’s simpler than most “smart” TVs I’ve had to work with.




  • We all knew that this was coming, that the British press would absolutely smear a party leader as antisemitic if he dared defend Palestinians. I’m not surprised, but I am frustrated. We need a better strategy to reach the public because the media is clearly acting as gatekeepers and has its own agenda.

    The typical answer to this is lately been: “Just leverage social media! It worked for Trump!” but this ignores the fact that legacy media has played a critical role there, amplifying his message and creating stories from that manchild’s tweets. The Greens are never going to get that level of special treatment unless it’s to destroy us.






  • Given that sort of description I’d bet that it is DNS actually. If you run a DNS lookup from your LAN for your domain, do you get the external IP or the internal one? You can try this with dig in Linux or nslookup in Windows (I think).

    If I’m right and you’re getting the external IP even when querying from your LAN, then what you need is either a separate DNS for your LAN or what they call a “split DNS” whe are a your domain server returns a different value depending on the originating IP.

    You can check for this by editing your hosts file. If you add your domain and local IP there and then try to ping that domain on that machine, it should work. If you’ve got a small network, you might even just copy the hosts lines between machines (this is what I do for example).
