I’m glad you’re safe.

That about sums it up.

To each his own, but the Branch Ergonomic is the most uncomfortable chair I’ve ever sat in. It’s almost entirely plastic and the lumbar support isn’t rigid enough to provide any support. The worst part is they have a 30 DAY return policy. By the time I had used the chair long enough to make an assessment, I was stuck with it.

Very well said. I played with a buddy for like 50 hours before I admitted I just wasn’t having fun.

L-theanine! Personally I drink black tea every day and it feels much more pleasant. Of course, the methy feeling of coffee is fun, but I’m sweaty and anxious till I crash.

Brazil isn’t an obscure country, but there’s an indigenous band called Uakti that builds their own instruments. It’s some of the most unusual music I’ve heard. They also have some classical albums, and one by Phillip Glass that I like to listen to when I’m coming down from a trip.

No one’s questioning that you saw a Cybertruck, just that you actually said those things to the owner.

Yes, especially with a standing desk. When standing, you’ll need the monitors much higher off the desk than when you’re sitting.

I recently got a Therapod chair and it’s the greatest thing I’ve ever sat in. It has adjustable tension straps built in so you can make the lumbar support exactly where you need it.

This is good to look into. I’ve tried remote streaming on several different devices. Before I bought the NAS I was sure it could handle a few streams, but maybe I was wrong.

Thanks for the tip. My ISP only offers static IPs for the business tier, but I’ll ask about ipv4.

I’m sorry, I’m not knowledgeable enough to answer this. Should my router be bound to a certain IP? I believe it has an assigned local IP, but does it also have a public one?

IIRC the University of Minnesota’s patent expired a few years ago. I can usually get them for the same price as fujis and pink ladies.

Ah, okay. Thanks for the clarification.

Thanks for the concise reply!

-Streaming quality is set to original on every device I use to access Plex.

-I still get confused about open ports, but I’ll check again and make sure it’s not running through relay.

-I believe the hardware should be fast enough to transcode at least a couple streams, but I’ll check again.

Remote access is enabled but whether I’m actually able to access the server or library remotely is intermittent. Plex says I may be double-natted but I was pretty sure I’m not. I’ll have to investigate again.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I pay for a static IP through my VPN provider, and I’ve wondered if there would be a benefit to running my server through the static IP, then using the same IP to access the server remotely. (Not sure if I’m describing that correctly.)

Unfortunately I’m using Nest WiFi and it doesn’t have QoS settings. You’re making me consider buying a new mesh router system because Nest also doesn’t have manual band selection, which I need for some IoT devices.

These are excellent ideas to test where the bottleneck is. Thank you very much.

Thank you for this. I’ll check my port forwarding on my router (Google Nest WiFi).
