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!

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.

...which implies the existence of integer women, real women, complex women, imaginary women, rational & irrational women.

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.

Anyway, how's your sex life?

the private business can do what it wants.

"Noooo not like that..."

I was gonna say SuperTuxKart but it's available for Linux, Windows, macOS, and Android per their site.

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.
