Turns out we die every night ¯\(ツ)/¯

It was Plex that did the IP range ban because people were selling access to their boxes.

There are two types connection in this scenario

1. Direct - no additional cost to Plex, using the port forwarding instructions you mentioned. No limit on bandwidth - the best (and most common) option
2. Relay - for whatever reason your client cannot reach the server (CGNAT / port forwarding not possible / firewall on client side etc), Plex will act like a man in the middle & limit the connection to 2mbit. (Yup, megaBIT).

I switched away from Plex last year because they wouldn’t let me connect with my box in Hetzner. I’m now using Emby, ironically I’m also paying for Emby’s monthly subscription. Not because I believe I need to, but because I want the developer to continue to work on it.

I had a thinkpad for YEARS running various flavours of Debian / Ubuntu. It never had an issue with drivers and even the fingerprint sensor worked out of the box.

The battery was shot to hell, the hinge was gone, it was time to upgrade. So I bought an ideapad. There’s something funky with the audio quality on Linux and the fingerprint scanner is now a face scanner camera. Howdy is not easy to configure and I’m pretty sure I can trick it with a photo.

That’s a long way of me saying I have buyers remorse and not all Lenovos are made equal :(

I just don’t connect the snoopy bastard to my network 😂

I work for an MSP. I can assure you, those who believe they need excel to do their job are willing to die on that hill, and take the whole department with them

Don’t worry, I’m sure they’ll make a full backup before they do something as drastic as try to re-write the system. /s

Honestly this is so simple and effective at stopping these sort of scams dead in their tracks. When you call in to help desk and say “I was just on the phone with your agents about a payment problem” and they don’t see any record, it’ll set off all sorts of alarm bells. Especially if it’s the bank.

Except for that time I took out the battery because it was swollen and took the screen off to help with cooling. At least I still have my K and M

Copy paste is easy. You just tap on the, no wait you tap on the, fuck hold on. You tap, there we are, on the word and hold until it highlights. No wait hold on. Fuck. There we are. Ok now you tap on the highlighted word to copy, fuck wait Ah fuck it just type it again yourself

Last time I saw 30spf it was written on a sun cream

“Trump administration wants to un-fire nuclear” oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck “safety workers” ah ok…

And now for something completely different…

Some real out of the box thinking on the topic!

Can confirm, bought my son a FIFA game on pc that caused so much trouble and confusion on windows with their activation bullshit that I ended up buying him an xbox

I can’t believe I watched all 9 minutes of that. I don’t even speak German

I remember seeing a video where somebody ran full speed into raised forks. They did NOT get up quickly. Imagine if the force was coming from the truck itself. It’d likely kill you

You can either set a DHCP reservation in your router, or manually set the IP on the device.

When I say private IP, I’m referring to the internal IP e.g 192.168.1.X

Means internally I just go to the domain without having to remember the IP I set.
