That nvme drive just hanging out next to the power cords is giving me a type of anxiety I never knew I had, thanks.

A smallish (6U) rack mount that you can bolt into the wall. Even if they rip it down it’ll weigh a ton and have locked doors (with ventilation obvi),

OP already acknowledged in their edit that logging in with a local IP ‘fixed’ the issue.

That’s pretty fucked up. I’d be shootin off some angry emails to customer support. Sorry to hear that!
- Comment on FFS Plex, the server is on my local network 1 week ago:
It means the same specific subnet. If you have multiple subnets (one for wired, one for wireless for example) it will also trigger that limitation unless you go in and manually tell it hey these are local.

lol crap, it’s the new arch!
- Comment on FFS Plex, the server is on my local network 1 week ago:
You can absolutely run plex in a local only mode. You don’t sign it in to an account and then set your subnet/subnets in the local networks section like so.

I bought a plex lifetime pass for $100 over a decade ago and I never see ads like this. I only occasionally get the notice for plex pro week and stuff like that.
- Comment on FFS Plex, the server is on my local network 1 week ago:
You should be able to. I have a wireguard tunnel to my parent’s house and when they watch plex it doesn’t go over the relay server (I can’t port forward on starlink).
- Comment on FFS Plex, the server is on my local network 1 week ago:
Good explanation. I’m out in the boonies with Starlink for internet right now so no port forwarding for me. I paid like $100 for a plex lifetime pass 12 years ago or something so none of my family or friends even notice most of the time. HEVC encoding helps too (you can squeeze 720p through their relay server with it).
- Comment on FFS Plex, the server is on my local network 1 week ago:
They’ve added commercial supported live channels like many other free services but yeah, it’s lacking compared to others. Pluto.tv is my go-to if I want to throw something on at a family members house or something like that. Owned by the networks, reasonably short ads, completely free. Too bad they didn’t figure that out 10 years ago lol.

Having to set up a reverse proxy is basically a non-starter for most people, while I’ve talked extremely non-technical people into running Plex since it just works out of the box.
- Comment on FFS Plex, the server is on my local network 1 week ago:
Plex will do the exact same thing if you have an episode earlier in your history that didnt get marked as “watched”. But plex lets you manually tag episodes as watched which usually fixes it. Maybe there’s a similar option in jellyfin?
- Comment on FFS Plex, the server is on my local network 1 week ago:
Plex is entirely free and completely local, but only if you don’t use the features that make it so convenient (the relay server they offer, authentication and authorization, etc). Things I’m pretty sure jellyfin doesn’t provide at all. If people spent half the time reading as they do trying to convince people to get angry at optional features then maybe we wouldn’t have so many posts like this.
- Comment on FFS Plex, the server is on my local network 1 week ago:
Are you runnin multiple subnets? If so you need to enable them all as local nets in plex or else it’ll trigger this.

My banking apps, I don’t feel comfortable spending money when I can’t see my accounts in real time. Had a bad experience with BoA when I was younger.

It can’t be any less scenic than the Four Seasons!
- Comment on A little memorial at the local dump 3 weeks ago:
LOL I thought OP was just calling their location a dump bc they’re having a charlie memorial. Nope, turns it it’s literally at the landfill. Now I can’t tell if this is a joke or not.
- Comment on A little memorial at the local dump 3 weeks ago:
That term isn’t really used anymore due to the stigma attached to it. Anti-social personality disorder is the term. It’s also clinically different from NPD.

Shit. I’m glad I’ve been babying my asus bw-16d1ht with libredrive mode enabled. You know, for backing up my home movies.

I’m surprised I’ve never seen a kid named Atreyu.

Either way is good IMO. Even if they just look at the pictures and imagine their own stories I have to believe that’s good for a developing mind.
- Comment on "Rizz", "cooking" and "based" are going to be stereotypical old people words one day 3 weeks ago:
One of these days I need to go and read through the Calvin and Hobbes collection I bought for my bookshelf when it was on a steep discount. I remember reading them all the time as a kid.
- Comment on There is no good reason why there is still homelessness and poverty 3 weeks ago:
The paper this article talks about was authored by an evolutionary biologist that wanted to talk about environmental science problems and social responsibility. Ignoring the concepts of personal property and ownership and stuff, think about this for a minute. 81% of Americans own a yard, but how many of them do you see growing crops in that space? How much more effectively COULD that land be utilized towards the common good if it were managed in some way? Or from the other side: the Alaskan government had to step in and put a halt on Bering Sea crab harvests for a few years because the numbers were critically low. Do you think all of the individual fishermen who are reliant on that income would have voluntarily stopped? Would they even have known the crab population was dwindling?

I’ll allow it, but only if we can somehow put the same flashing red banner on top of politicians in real life.
