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

Not to mention mortgage interest.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

You can roll your own saline nasal rinse, but it takes a little care to get the salinity just right. And best to boil the water first in case of brain eating amoebas (seriously — not common, but very, very bad).

UN-Verified

Unfortunate abbreviation…

We have one kid, one one the way, and then it’s time for a Balls Voyage party (or snipped but still equipped, if you prefer).

My headcanon for The Matrix’s “humans are batteries” is that it’s the machines’ perverse interpretation of this — killing the humans is off the table, and for whatever reason letting them live with no purpose to serve the machines is also disallowed. But giving their lives “meaning” in the form of a shitty (and thermodynamically dubious) “battery” somehow satisfies the rules.

It’s a very big stretch, I’ll admit…

I think it has a lot to do with disposition and convenience. I’m lazy, and I don’t like to drive if I can help it. But I live near enough to public transportation that we’ll spontaneously decide to hop on the subway and grab dinner on the waterfront.

It’s not the money that’s preventing us from hopping in the car to go to some new beach for dinner, it’s the convenience.

I mean…it depends on the job? I go on walks during working hours all the time to clear my head and think about a problem I’m working on. I don’t try to hide this from my manager.
