I thought Omnivore was sold.
Also, isn’t pocket being renamed to something? Odd having it listed as an “alternative” to itself!
- Comment on Plex Server Replacement 1 week ago:
They’re all just dumb consumer switches. Nothing managed… yet.
- Comment on Plex Server Replacement 1 week ago:
This sounds pretty great, TBH. I think I’m probably tied to Synology for the foreseeable future with my parents’ and my NAS being each others off site backup. I know there are other ways to do it, but the investments are already made on both ends. Plus, they’re retired, so the 1522 with 18TB drives wasn’t a small expense for them!
- Comment on Plex Server Replacement 1 week ago:
Aside from looking at the current activity on the server web page, where might I look to see if this is true?
- Comment on Plex Server Replacement 1 week ago:
Agreed! The library is populated by my parents and me. I’d have to look again, but i think it’s around 12TB.
- Comment on Plex Server Replacement 1 week ago:
Everything’s wired. Router is a TP-Link BE63, 2 APs w/ wired backhaul. Shield is on the same switch as the synology. STBs are throughout the house, but generally max 3-hops to the Shield/Synology. All Netgear bluebox 1Gb dumbswitches. At some point in the near future, I plan on getting this stuff to a central switch, so everything is a leaf switch away from it.
- Comment on Plex Server Replacement 1 week ago:
Got it: qbit == qbittorrent. I’ve thought about getting the remaining docker containers off of the Synology. I may look into that this weekend.
- Comment on Plex Server Replacement 1 week ago:
The network testing I’ve done (iperf and file transfers) hasn’t revealed any issues. I’m seeing consistent 1Gb speeds. I could try some wireshark monitoring, I guess.
- Comment on Plex Server Replacement 1 week ago:
limit qbit upload speed
Not sure what you’re referring to here.
- Comment on Plex Server Replacement 1 week ago:
I see no other issues from the network. The thing that “changed” is me trying to watch 4k stuff on my plex server. Up until recently, I didn’t bother with 4k. No real reason for trying it now, TBH. I’ve never felt that 4k was necessary for home viewing on anything smaller than a 100” screen (my largest if 75”).
- Comment on Plex Server Replacement 1 week ago:
I’ve updated the OP to answer this. I think serving the media from the spinning disk is the heart of the problem.
- Comment on Plex Server Replacement 1 week ago:
I have thought of that… Most of the daily driver systems in the house are Macs, so it would probably work out pretty well.

- Comment on US govt revokes Harvard's right to enroll foreign students 4 weeks ago:
I missed that. Sad, especially considering the article said it! Guess I was seeing red (pardon the pun).
- Comment on US govt revokes Harvard's right to enroll foreign students 4 weeks ago:
Harvard needs to sue. I don’t know who or what, but they need to bring suit. Seriously, they have a pretty decent law school, run by some fairly knowledgeable people. When they decided not to bend over to the administration (ahem, Columbia), they had to know this would end up in court. Everything with Trump winds up in court, and he’s not going to listen to any results unless it’s from SCOTUS, and even then… So Harvard had to understand that was the fight they were picking. At this point, if they back down I would almost hold them in higher contempt than Columbia. At least Columbia didn’t bother putting up a front.
- Comment on 3-2-1 Backups: How do you do the 1 offsite backup? 1 month ago:
My dad and I each have Synology NAS. We do a hyper sync backup from one to the other. I back up to his and vice versa. I also use syncthing to backup my plex media so he can mount it locally on his plex server.
- Comment on How To: Automate version update for your selfhosted Docker containers with Gitea, Renovate, and Komodo 2 months ago:
If I understood correctly, he manually runs watchtower to poll rather than leaving it running all the time. What wasn’t clear to me was if he has it doing the updates (evidenced by him saying he cleans up where needed after) or just pull down the updated images and he then manually restarts/rebuilds the container.
I leave it running all the time and it only updates at something like 03:00. The only containers I don’t have set to latest are DBs as major updates tend to break things.
- Comment on Recommend EU webhosting provider to replace DreamHost? 2 months ago:
I’m curious about the same thing, but also curious what you’re using your traditional hosting for. I also have had DH shared hosting for years and never had an issue. I don’t know if I’m ready to drop it, but not sure if I still need it.

- Comment on Why would an all loving god create hell? 2 months ago:
I’ve never understood the notion the good “can’t exist” without evil. I think it’s more likely that good can’t be recognized without evil as a basis for comparison. That doesn’t mean good things can’t happen unless there’s evil out there. I think they would just be seen from a different frame of reference.

- Comment on why do transphobes mention pedophiles/compare them to pedophiles when most trans people (as do most people) hate pedophiles? 4 months ago:
It’s actually a very simple ploy they’ve used since before I was born (I’m not young). Anything they can paint as sexual, or that actually is out of the sexual “norm,” they will use as a scapegoat. They used it against blacks (coming after their white women), gays, and now trans. Pedophilia and rape are the two Worst Things, and if they can tie the Bad Guy du jour, that equals fear-votes. The best kind of right wing votes in all the land.
- Comment on Be the change you want to see in Lemmy 4 months ago:
Forgot to add that I’m not saying Lemmy is perfect as is. For sure there are things that can be improved and tweaked. And by all means, people who want to contribute should be encouraged and applauded. I’m just saying that the community that’s grown here is pretty great, and growth coming from slow-ish trickle of new users probably wouldn’t threaten that. Right now, Lemmy has a good late-90s, early 00s community feeling, and I really enjoy it.
- Comment on Be the change you want to see in Lemmy 4 months ago:
This might be an unpopular opinion, but I think the effort to make joining Lemmy easier has some downsides. One of the nicest things about these communities is how easy it is to have good conversations with internet strangers. I’ve grown to appreciate and hope for Lemmy not trying to be a Reddit replacement. In fact, I’m totally fine with “the masses” staying in Spez’s data harvesting machine. If, one day, Lemmy gets as popular as Reddit, I think it will inevitably have many of the same problems. It just theoretically won’t be selling your data for profit (one hopes, anyway). My wife isn’t super-techy, and I explained the concept of Lemmy to my wife in about 10 minutes. She set up an account in about 5.
To me, it’s not that using or joining Lemmy is hard. It’s that a lot of people have come to loathe change. They’re told that Lemmy is “like Reddit,” so why leave Reddit, all their accumulated Internet points, and their familiar communities/echo chambers? Pretty much all of them also use other data-harvesting social media sites, so they mostly don’t care about that aspect. When I tell my friends about Lemmy I talk about how the size of the communities is really conducive to good conversations from wide enough ranges of opinions and experiences, compared to Reddit’s too much of everything including trolls.

- Comment on ugh i wish 6 months ago:
Those inspections are carried out by federal inspectors. The incoming administration wants to severely cut funding for pretty much “the government” (except the military). That means fewer inspectorsand less thorough inspections. That’s how things like the Boar’s Head thing, and listeria outbreaks in spinach happen. They’re happening more and more because of industrial farming processes coupled with more relaxed federal inspections.
