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. 🤷♂️
Now at hostwinds.com, hope that solves some issues....

"So We Won't Forget" by Khruangbin. Here's the video: SoWeWontForget.mp4 This video seems incredibly sad to me. I have my interpretation of it but I'll let you make your own. Really beautiful music.
February 09 DOMi and JD BECK and Anderson .Paak have this nice song, "TAKE A CHANCE" I was just playing along with. It has a video, which is here: TAKE_A_CHANCE.mp4. Not sure what it's all about. The last part, which is different musically, seems to show the three of them presenting immigration agents with bribes. Then they get something good in return (residency?). That seems sad, now, thinking of Trump and so on. Really sweet music, though. Such talented young people!
February 08February 06February 04 ** 2 Geeking out a little. Here at vin-dit.org command center, I have my web site hosted on a computer in my house, which is a way it would be nice if the world worked. That machine dual boots Windows 11 and Arch Linux. When it's running Windows 11, it has a VM running Debian. That's where the home copy of the website lives, when that machine is running Windows. I slowly figure out solutions to things...just now, I was looking into the IPv6 access to it. I now have IPv6 from Verizon, which is also something it would be nice if the world worked that way. So, for fun, I have an IPv6 only URL, home2.vin-dit.org. But....: The MAC address of the Debian VM is different than the MAC address of the machine when running Arch, so the IPv6 address changes. Solution: created a DNS record for home3.vin-dit.org !
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.
