Geez, tough crowd. Or perhaps they need an accompanying laugh-track to know it’s a joke.

“Reports say the woman claimed she knew nothing of the drugs and that they must belong to the raccoon.”

No it isn’t and they have openly talked about doing this practice back in the early days of reddit to make the site appear more active than it really was. Nothing has changed.

I use it and it works great except their eddie client is kinda garbage (at least on Windows) so I switched to using Wiresock on Windows and then later gluetun after setting up a Linux machine.

Screw traffic cameras. Most of that money goes to private companies and it’s all too tempting for cities to game them to increase revenue. I say we just park a bunch of empty cop cars around if you want people to slow down. Nothing works better and there’s no cost involved outside of the initial purchase of the vehicles. It’s cheaper and more effective.

Gallagher 1 or Gallagher 2?

How exactly are you aquiring a folder full of media without technical know how in the first place? (Genuine question?)

Because there are excellent setup guides out there that walk you through the process and allow you to set all this up without knowing anything about the individual steps you’re taking.

It’s not that expensive. You can buy a lifetime pass for like $70 when it goes on sale. That’s like half the price I pay to Comcast each month for my internet.

It was always a thing except with Android and iOS which had a separate one-time fee attached to enable remote playback.

The Plex Relay is enabled by default and is used anytime people can’t directly connect to your server like if your port forwarding is screwed up.

No it’s not the same as with Plex because they have their own security solution and authentication servers. With Jellyfin that’s completely on you to figure out and doing it wrong (exposing open ports to the open internet) can have terrible consequences.

I do agree that it’s not a huge deal to buy a lifetime Plex Pass as a server owner though. I’ve had my issues with Plex over the last decade but it’s a hell of a lot more polished than the competition and it’s extremely easy to share with all my friends and family who don’t know shit about computers or other tech related subjects.

I’m no expert but I was never able to connect to Plex if the host was running a VPN which caused me a ton of issues until I figured out split tunneling.

“Very easy” assuming you aren’t trying to share with non-technical people or your elderly parents.

Not necessarily a VPN but you’re 100% on your own for security. When i used to run Emby, I had a white-list IPs but this doesn’t work great since most ISPs rotate IPs over time and if you’re on wireless it could change all the time.

Only if you were remote streaming on Android or iOS or you’d need to pay a one-time fee to bypass the restriction.

If you as the server owner have a Plex Pass, everyone can stream from your server without paying. This removes the payment required for Android and iOS too.

Not sure of the compatibility, but you might look into Shelly relays to automate old fixtures, lights and switches. They just wire in parallel to the switch and sit in the electrical box behind it. Also they make GU24 to E26 adapters. I had to buy some for our outside garage lights which are also GU24 sockets as well.

Currently I don’t have any mmWave sensors outside of my ecobee thermostat so I haven’t gone as far as creating lights based on presence. Currently I just use timers, adaptive lighting, and have a couple night lights using PIR sensors and a timer. I have been wanting to get some mmWave sensors but haven’t found anything that fits the bill as I want something with an ambient light sensor, mmWave sensor, temp sensor, etc. I have seen the Everything One from Everything Smart Home but at $65 each, I’d be spending a few hundred at least.

Also if you ever want to go back to your RPi, you can use an SSD as your boot drive. I have mine running off this so that I don’t have to use a crappy SD card.

It’s hilarious when you slide a country toward one of the poles and it suddenly becomes larger than the entire planet.
