Class action lawyers seek $675 million in Bayer Roundup settlement | Reuters

Why are Kiwis so addicted to using weed killers everywhere when it is proven to be carcinogenic?

And what will it take to finally ban Roundup and all other glyphosate products in New Zealand?

Kiwibank - Why doesn't Government, Councils and Public Institutions use it?

Why doesn't Government and all Councils exclusively use Kiwibank?

With Kiwibank fully owned by the government, what are the reasons for the Government, all Councils as well as all public funded organisations not using Kiwibank?

I have not once seen a public funded organisation use Kiwibank for their banking.

Surely if they all exclusively use Kiwibank, it will make Kiwibank much more profitable, and keep it within the bank to improve services and service delivery for all.

Right now, the government, councils and public funded organisations are funding foreign banks, to the detriment of kiwis.

Jellyfin Media Player

I had Jellyfin Media Player installed via flatpak and it worked very well after experiencing problems with the newer Jellyfin Desktop(also flatpak).

But today, after an update, my Jellyfin Media Player disappeared.

I had a look at flathub, and Jellyfin Media Player doesn't exist anymore. Only Jellyfin Desktop is there.

Then I had a look at the GitHub pages, and I could find Jellyfin Media Player's site from Jellyfin Desktop's page. With Jellyfin Media Player's page now renamed Jellyfin Desktop QT. I tried to download the appimage, but it no longer works.

It appears as if Jellyfin Media Player, was renamed to Jellyfin Desktop as well, to force migration to Jellyfin Desktop.

So far I haven't experienced the same old problems with Jellyfin Desktop, but I've only used it for a short while.

I really hope all the bugs with Jellyfin Desktop have been resolved, else I'll have to search for the app image of Jellyfin Media Player or compile directly from the source code on GitHub.

I have a unique setup where I'm on CachyOS on Ryzen 7600, 64GB and RTX 5070ti running Jellyfin Docker, and media on a ZFS pool. As I'm running the player on the same machine, I don't want any transcoding to ensure no degradation in quality.

I have just managed to installed Bazzite after numerous issues during the installation process, which eventually I solved by installing Fedora Kinoite, and then rebaising it to Bazzite. The main problem was because of the partitions and volumes that weren't recognised by the Bazzite installer, and also could not be configured, but was resolved when using Blivet-GUI partition software as part of the Fedora Kinoite installer.

As I'm running an Intel 4790, 16GB and GTX1070, I used the recommended image:

rpm-ostree rebase ostree-unverified-registry:ghcr.io/ublue-os/bazzite-nvidia:stable

Note that it must be unverified for the first rebase.

then, after a reboot you can use the signed version by running:

ujust verify-image

and finally to install the missing flatpaks:

ujust _install-system-flatpaks

Everything seems to be working, but I'm missing the default Bazzite theme in KDE.

Any assistance and advice to restore the default Bazzite KDE theme and settings would be appreciated.

I have tested PikaOS recently on some of my laptops, and like it a lot. However, before I move my main system from CachyOS, I wanted to confirm how PikaOS plays with ZFS.

I have seen another post here, but it is very old and not sure about the current status:

https://www.reddit.com/r/PikaOS/comments/1kck9ny/zfs_on_pikaos_borked/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

My main system is a used as a combined Gaming Machine, Local LLM Server (Ollama with OpenWebUI in docker), Jellyfin Server (Docker) and direct player (Jellyfin Media Player Flatpak), Internet browsing and Youtube machine (Brave) that is located in our living room and connected to our family's main TV.

The OS doesn't have to be on on ZFS boot drive, as I'm normally using whatever the default for the OS is. But my OS must be able to play nicely with the ZFS Pools as the game libraries and Jellyfin media files are located there. Currently using 4 x 20TB in ZFS1 config, with the main hardware consisting of Ryzen 5 7600, 64GB ram and 5070ti. Boot drive is a 1TB NVME drive.

My main reason for moving from CachyOS is that after 20 years of Ubuntu & Mint, I really struggle to get used to the Arch way of doing things. I haven't had any issues on CachyOS running ZFS and it just worked from day 1. However, if PikaOS doesn't play nice with ZFS, I'll have to continue my search. I'm particularly worried that the regular updates, will break my ZFS system regularly.

If anyone has been running a ZFS PikaOS system, I'd love to hear from you before I make the big move.
