  • Redo the caulk at the edge of the glass frame. I’m 75% certain that’s where your problem lies… Had something similar 👍

    Basically what’s happening is that water is getting out somewhere under that glass frame, going through the grout on the other side, then flowing out the side. The water could be entering all the way at the opposite end of where you see it coming out.

    In fact, I’d re-caulk everything that has caulk. Don’t re-do the grout; that won’t fix anything. If re-caulking doesn’t fix it then you really do need to take the whole shower out and redo it (I know, “fuuuuuuck”). Been in that situation before too 😞

    Docker containers aren’t running in a virtual machine. They’re running what amounts to a fancy chroot jail… It’s just an isolated environment that takes advantage of several kernel security features to make software running inside the environment think everything is normal despite being locked down.

    This is a very important distinction because it means that docker containers are very light weight compared to a VM. They use but a fraction of the resources a VM would and can be brought up and down in milliseconds since there’s no hardware to emulate.



  • I’m sure I could spend a day banging my head against google and mucking with my Docker containers to get it working, but I decided it’s not really worth the effort.

    You threw away a learning opportunity. I seriously doubt the problems you were experiencing had anything to do with Linux, specifically and were more likely due to your lack of knowledge about how Jellyfin works with streaming.

    I’m not insinuating that you’re a bad person or anything like that. Every one of us has limited time to fool around but it seems like a lot of people really do give up too easily on things like this 🤷

    I’ve seen people spend hours and hours or even days troubleshooting (or just trying to work around) Windows issues/frustrations to the point where they say, “fuck it! I’m trying Linux!” Then they encounter one problem, spend ten minutes trying to figure it out and then just give up and switch back to Windows.

    It’s a trick or the mind: Human brains trust the familiar even if it’s so much worse than something new. People get used to all the bullshit Windows throws their way and it becomes the new (accepted) normal.

    It just seems normal to walk up to a PC that rebooted itself overnight and is forcing you to reopen and relogin to everything. It seems normal to instinctively close popups in the lower right corner of your screen without thinking about it because they appear so often. It seems normal that advertisements appear in strange places all over your computer. It seems normal that to install just about anything you have to search the Internet and download a .exe then run it with administrator privileges.

    Windows enforces bad behavior and worst practices at every turn yet when faced with a new interface and new ways of doing (and troubleshooting) things users will suddenly find new problems infinitely more frustrating and unacceptable… Even if they’re really just minor inconveniences.

    This is nonsense. I–and a great many other Linux users–don’t have a Windows partition on any of their computers.

    My kids were given Windows laptops for school but that’s the only Windows in the house. For work I just login to a virtual Windows desktop (though honestly I’d work much more efficiently if I had a Linux desktop) 🤷
