    I think they worded that backwards and are referring to the adage (or maybe that is what the banks go off of?) that your loan shouldn’t be for more than 3x your income. So if you make 80k per year you can generally afford a $240k house.

    Going above that 3x means too much of your income goes to paying for the house and you don’t have enough for other living expenses+maintaining the house.




  • If you want the search to be flexible like handling things like root stemming (i.e. for matching words that are pluralized etc) you might want to put the text into an Elasticsearch database.

    You might run into problems with the field length if these are long documents. A possible solution to that would be an putting each page into its own field inside of the document.

    If this is for a non tech user to search, the Kibana interface should be relatively easy for anyone to use.






  • I always see this argument but I really don’t want anything plugged into anything as important as the USB-C port while the phone is in my pocket.

    3.5 plugs are rather short outside of the phone (at least for headphones with 90deg plugs) to minimize leverage that you put on the port. Being able to rotate also means less stress on the port as well.

    The USB-C adapters are pretty short, but lack the rotation. I have replaced USB-C ports in dozens of Nintendo Switches and other devices, it is pretty clear they aren’t designed to take much stress.

    Long story short if anything happens I would much rather have the 3.5mm pin stuck in a headphone jack than breaking the USB-C port and making it so my phone is a brick.

    Do the VPN companies want to make money (credit card payments)?

    Then they have to comply with local laws or risk being cut off from payment processors.

    There are certainly ways around that (crypto), but a mich smaller percentage of their users will be willing to deal with that.

    I don’t use the WebOS app but generally default subtitles/audio languages are set on your profile and the apps pick up those settings.

    Try logging in to the web interface and going to your user profile. There is a “Playback” section where you can set your preferred languages. If this isn’t set it likely is taking the default language from your media files instead.

    Well the title and most of the article seems to be more about stopping prostitution instead of preventing murder… The article talks a lot about these women being vulnerable but doesn’t really give those women any solutions other than taking away their source of income (which I would think makes them even more vulnerable). It seems like they are using the murder to push a different agenda.

    The article even talks about a good number of non-transactional relationships which aren’t against the rules and still sometimes results in women getting assaulted.

    Maybe instead of making it against the rules they should make sure it happens somewhere where the soldiers are better monitored. Hopefully then they less likely to assault the women, and it would at the very least be easier to get justice than when a tragedy like that happens. Proving who did it is much more difficult when the victim/perpetrator have to hide their activity in the first place.


  • Yeah it happened to me yesterday once. Hadn’t opened the app in some time and as soon as I opened it, it was complaining about a 429. It seemed fine the other times I was on the app though.

    We are both lenny.world though so it could just be an issue with the instance. Maybe they were fighting off a DDoS and had marked some traffic incorrectly as bots.


  • +1 to this.

    First check that you can get to Jellyfin on your Jellyfin server itself (start with the IP address). This makes sure that the service is running, and that you are trying to access the right port/protocol.

    If that works, try the web browser on your phone or any other device on your network next. If that fails it tells you there are firewall or DNS issues.

    Infinite scroll occasionally has issues for me on lemmy.world. Seems to always clear up after an hour or two so I have always assumed it is maintenance/issues on the instance side.

    Restart the app, logout+login again, and if it still persists after a few hours it is likely a configuration issue with your instance. Maybe make an account on another instance to rule that out.


  • Laws can easily have exceptions for these things. In China for instance “non approved” VPNs are illegal, but there are plenty of legal VPNs as well.

    For instance businesses can get approval for their own VPNs, and regular people can use some free/paid VPNs within the country, but presumably the government can see all of the traffic within those.

    My prediction is that this is more about banning VPNs than about age verification. Start with this, then when everyone is “using VPNs to break the law” they have an excuse to ban VPNs.

    Governments world wide likely see VPNs as incredibly dangerous. Plenty of examples of countries like Iran cutting off the internet entirely to prevent protests from organizing.

    I think they want their own great firewall.

    Even with https if you aren’t on TLS 1.3 the SNI (server name indicator) is not encrypted so the hostname you are trying to access would be visible to your ISP.

    Forcing your browser to only use TLS1.3 would fix that but who knows how many sites it would break.

    Unauthorized VPNs (non government approved) are illegal in China. If a business needs their own they can get approval but they have to apply for those exceptions.

    It isn’t really enforced, probably especially so for non citizens, but if you do something they don’t like it is something they could use against you.

    You would probably be less breaking the law to just directly open up SSH and access that instead of tunneling through a VPN. Even though SSH can do tunneling of its own.
