- Comment on Advice needed on Nextcloud + Immich Setup (with a SSD and HDD's) 1 day ago:
Yes this is how I have mine setup to do just like OP is wanting.
- Comment on Fake reviews on Play Store by Plex staff 5 days ago:
This reminds me to go leave a review on their refresh of the app. I just got off a plane and Plex wouldn’t load once I lost service for me or my wife to watch our downloaded media.

Caught in for, you mean?
Almost there 😆
- Comment on Trakt Upcoming VIP Renewal Pricing Changes – Effective May 20, 2025 5 days ago:
I used to use it to sync my watch history between Plex and Emby but stopped years ago when I dropped Emby. I can’t imagine what they’re offering that people would want to pay for though.
- Comment on Using DVD slot for second 3.5" drive? 1 week ago:
The DVD drive should have a SATA connector already.
OP you can do this, I 3D printed a couple adapters to fit 3.5" drives into my old server case’s 5.25" slots while migrating everything to a new server. My only real concern with the whole thing is that there’s no rubber isolators on them which could cause issues longterm.
- Comment on So excited that Avril Lavigne did come back 1 week ago:
That’s a lot of artists to fit inside of a 7 Eleven.
- Comment on Hot sauce is for Dad to protect his food from scavenging by lesser beings 1 week ago:
I have a friend that gets Thai food so spicy that they turn red and start sweating when they eat it. I tried a bite and began hiccuping immediately and couldn’t handle it.
- Comment on Reddit will tighten verification to keep out human-like AI bots 1 week ago:
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.
- Comment on Best VPN for torrenting? 1 week ago:
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.
- Comment on Seattle Sets the Stage for Automatic Traffic Camera Expansion - The Urbanist 2 weeks ago:
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.

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.
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 2 weeks ago:
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.
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 2 weeks ago:
It was always a thing except with Android and iOS which had a separate one-time fee attached to enable remote playback.
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 2 weeks ago:
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.
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 2 weeks ago:
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.
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 2 weeks ago:
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.
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 2 weeks ago:
“Very easy” assuming you aren’t trying to share with non-technical people or your elderly parents.
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 2 weeks ago:
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.
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 2 weeks ago:
Only if you were remote streaming on Android or iOS or you’d need to pay a one-time fee to bypass the restriction.
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 2 weeks ago:
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.
- Comment on I wonder what the specs are on the technology that disables shopping cart wheels 2 weeks ago:
Oh man I love the page view counter at the bottom.
- Comment on Starbucks' new drive-thru in Texas is the coffee giant's first 3D printed store in the US 2 weeks ago:
I’m sure it’s a basic shape because the technology is in its infancy, and they wanted an actual building in the end. The fancy stuff comes later.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
I wouldn’t celebrate this victory too hard as this looks a lot like the 2020 US election and we all know things turned out the following election. I don’t follow Canadian politics too closely but they seem to share a lot of the same issues with the US, so the Liberals better use the Democrats as an outline of what not to do if they want to retain any sort of power and influence in the future.

Which highlights the importance of education and learning about the things people learned before us.

Can’t tell if this is a list of Roman Numerals or the names of some of Elon Musk’s kids

If you put a fake mustache on that 0, it sure looks like a thumb.

Also you can link it to HomeAssistant so when you unzip you can set an automation to lock your door, dim your lights, play Kenny G, and activate your touchless tissue dispenser.
- Comment on Coffee is not brewed homogeneous 3 weeks ago:
Of course you would because your whole opinion hinges on it.
- Comment on Coffee is not brewed homogeneous 3 weeks ago:
This depends on what part of the country you’re in. Maybe on the east coast where everyone apparently drinks “Dunkin’” or McDonalds coffee but here in the PNW we do it right.
