Experimentation seems to show that Firefox can play videos from here if you load them from my home machine, at
https://home.vin-dit.org. That is a complete replica of this site. Maybe this has to do with Caddy handling things
better than Apache??? Also, in the Firefox developer console it seems Caddy is using HTTP/3. 🤷♂️
So, long story short, you can get your vin-dit.org fix over IPv6 from home2.vin-dit.org or home3.vin-dit.org, depending on my whims. Caddy seems to be a wonderful solution to web serving, it just gets the certs from Lets Encrypt or something automatically. Also enjoy zsh, and oh-my-zsh, MATE Desktop, and other FOSS stuff. This post and the previous one done on my ancient Thinkpad running OpenBSD. Just for the fun of it!
February 04https://jitsi.org/ I found my way to this a little while ago, I have it running. In fact, it's working in a Hyper-V VM on Windows! I found instructions on doing it with Docker-it consists of four Docker containers that work together. It's interesting to me, we're all using Zoom now, and zoom has become the accepted word for computer-based videoconferencing over the Internet, like xerox or google are the words for what they do. The idea that you can host this yourself, for free, and that it is FOSS, is really cool, though! I haven't done any actual meetings on it because I don't want it to fail on some normal person who might not have the patience to deal with it. It seems to work fine, though, I've tested it with connections to it from multiple devices.
February 03 "I'm root, and you're not." -- Somebody in the local Linux community, about fancy "security models". I remember someone asking for help with the old rw-r--r-- style UNIX permissions stuff, at a job long ago. Then you find out about multiple group membership, ACLs, setuid, and all that stuff. I think it's even more involved on NT-based stuff. MacOS nowadays, even as root some things are like "nope-you're not changing this". SELinux. Sometimes "the old ways are the best ways". Just don't type "rm -rf *" as root! 😂

Borasisi, the sun, held Pabu, the moon, in his arms, and hoped that Pabu would bear him a fiery child.
But poor Pabu gave birth to children that were cold, that did not burn; and Borasisi threw them away in disgust. These were the planets, who circled their terrible father at a safe distance.
Then poor Pabu herself was cast away, and she went to live with her favorite child, which was Earth. Earth was Pabu's favorite because it had people on it; and the people looked up at her and loved her and sympathized.
