Niiiice, quick question, are both of y’all running the latest UniFi Controller version & using the new WebUI view layout?

This pic is hilarious lmao nice

Hahahhahaha this just happened to me last night and it legit kept me awake for another 30 fucking minutes….

Yuuuuup, same. I do wonder though how much longer we’re gonna be able to get away with it though… the sharing I mean. I know my wife and I can always have things here locally, but we’re definitely at the mercy of Plex eventually shutting down their sharing capabilities

SPOILERS but Reason why I knocked Tommy Shelby down a bit is because my wife and I are rewatching it now, and I kinda thought Tommy telling John it’s okay that he threatened the sons dad was dumb. That event got Grace killed.

Jeff Bridges was so damn good in this. Yeah his CGI self was kinda corny/low-budgety but it fit in decently well with most of the movie having to be in CGI because it was literally about a computer generated world, so I didn’t mind it.

Is it worth watching the first two seasons before the third? I’m really only interested in watching Matthew Lillard’s performance

The way they did port forwarding was so rock solid and stable being able to assign a port to your account and have it apply to any endpoint… but now that isn’t there I was forced to switch to ProtonVPN. Also my latest DL speeds with the closest node in my area with Mullvad WireGuard config is much slower than proton… sigh. I’ll keep what I already paid for on Mullvad but I won’t be renewing. 😢

Yeah having the time and energy to log on every night and play games is something I constantly daydream & fantasize about, but when I rarely get an opportunity to do it, it’s extremely hard to enjoy it because I know I’m not gonna get another chance again for who knows how long. My enjoyment is directly related to looking forward to the next time I’d be able to continue what I was doing in game.

This is why I bought a steam deck and have accepted joy in Stardew Valley.

Yup. That’s me. I have to have games where it doesn’t rely on you logging on for a few hours a night, every night…. yeah sorry not gonna happen with a wife who doesn’t like video games and a 2 year old to entertain.

Hahahaha yes exactly. Linux for life

What I’ve noticed is any third party app won’t matter until we get some more content that isn’t the front page buzzing about the exact same topic for multiple days. Right now ironically it’s all talking about Sync, when a lot of iOS users can’t even use it.

I definitely don’t want them to be the same project. I love the logical separation between the two

I don’t go too over the top like this but I make my wife her lunch everyday before she goes to work because I WFH and don’t have to immediately be on my computer before she leaves

Well TIL!!

Honestly no. Remember Spectre & Meltdown vulnerabilities back in 2018? Yeah that security bug that only affected Intel CPUs until it was patched seriously told consumers and enterprise customers to “please turn off hyperthreading” to prevent exposure. Fucking LOL. Voluntarily cut my CPU performance in half!? Based on a theoretical exploit that was only found in a very specific and controlled environment before everyone started FREAKING out?

You do realize the vast majority of people would need you to explain what a “rented host” is, then they still wouldn’t comprehend it.

Same, I have it proudly sitting on my shelf above my homelab :(

The main reason why I mentioned a NUC is it gets them familiar with distributed roles for each system, but you’re right, I’d definitely go pure whitebox & setup unRAID that has a nice GUI for Docker for newbies to understand.

No worries, happy to help!

Main benefit is modularity, where you can use each system for a different use case that it’s more suited for. Also if one system goes down/has issues, it doesn’t necessarily make the entire thing unusable, just degraded. This also means you can upgrade different parts when necessary.

NUC = Runs services, no data (other than application data) is stored here, so if it dies, your data is still safe on the NAS.

NAS = Stores media/personal data. If it dies (dear god please have a 3-2-1 backup in place), the only services affected are ones that rely on the data being accessible from the NAS. This seems like a big drawback, but at least you ONLY have to fix the NAS and not have to recreate all the service configs.

If you’re using proper Docker practices (defining all of your services in docker compose), then even rebuilding your NUC isn’t that much of a headache. DOCUMENT YOUR JOURNEY AND MISTAKES!

Yes, NAS devices are expensive, but in order to have one that can TRULY be a good all in one data storage AND Plex server, you’d really break the bank to get one that runs an Intel CPU, since most NAS devices run a low powered ARM chip, or a very under powered Intel CPU.

The most cost effective way to do this when first starting out is to scrap, scavenge and buy used/old equipment. Chasing after the newest hardware for this stuff is tempting, and you’ll eventually get there, but you gotta walk before you swim.

Seriously, ebay, pawn shops, facebook marketplace (yes, yuck, but I’ve gotten killer deals here) and friends/relatives getting rid of old “useless” computers will be their trash, your treasure.
