One of the most iconic bbq joints in one of the biggest bbq towns (Joe’s KC, formerly known as Oklahoma Joe’s) started in the back of a gas station and it’s still there today

Ya - or close enough (10.11.3). My LAN networks are my server and workstation subnets (both /24s) and my external NAT (my public ip). I also have my reverse proxy address (from jellyfin’s perspective) in my known proxies. From there, my external users are set to allow remote connections, have passwords set, and are set to “hide this user from login screens” and my internal users are set to NOT allow remote connections and to NOT hide from login screens. After that, i just use my public dns for every device whether it’s internal or external and call it a day

You can already do number 2 (with some restrictions). You have to set up your networking tab correctly, use blank passwords, and uncheck “allow remote connections” for the “local” accounts. i have things set up so that external users are forced to log in and local users just pick a profile. If you also add your external users’ IP addresses to the LAN Networks box, they’ll be treated as an internal user too (though how you keep that up to date is a bit more challenging). It’s not precisely the Netflix experience but it works well enough for us

C64 gang, represent!

Seriously though, I feel like that generation of machines was the last time you could look at hardware and say “yeah, I understand literally everything about how this works” and that knowledge has made even some of my (tech sector) coworkers think I’m a wizard

I guess man, I’m just trying to offer alternatives. We travel enough that we like knowing what we’re gonna get instead of having to worry if we’re going to be the next horror story. The airbnb app makes a point now of assuring you that the price you see is all-inclusive of fees - now why would they do that, I wonder. Ultimately, we’re probably some of the tidiest travelers. We just don’t have time to worry about rules changing at each place depending on how badly the host wants to pocket that cleaning fee

After chores, cleaning fees, and non-refundable deposits, is it really though?

What you’re looking for is anything labeled a “suite”. I prefer to stay in those whenever possible, and generally use Staybridge, but there’s other options out there

Still a long way until the end of November…

Appx and UWP are more packaging (like rpm, deb, msi) formats than an executable format. PE is behind everything in windows and the amount of effort required to change that seems truly Herculean, even for an organization the size of Microsoft. Heck, even executables for windows ARM were PE (as well as UEFI binaries). But even if you assume that they do go forward with something that insane, if they want developers to write software for it, they’ll have to publish the format specs so that gcc and llvm can implement them so that the tens of thousands of existing libraries could be ported

Yeah but given that dxvk is a thing, a switch to dx13 would just need to be implemented there. The underlying wine layer would only need to change if the PE format changed. But even then, that would destroy backwards compatibility in the windows world… something that Microsoft’s enterprise customers would (rightfully) crucify them for.

Sab might have its own mask settings - it would be worth looking at. Same thing applies here - subtract the mask part from 7 to get the real permissions. In this case, mask 002 translates into 775. This gives the uid and gid that the container is running under (probably defined in a variable somewhere) Read/Write/Execute, but anyone else Read/Execute. The “anyone else” would just be any account on the system (regardless of access method) that didn’t match on the actual uid or gid value.

For what it’s worth, Ikea’s LACK tables make great mini racks

Could be that lidarr is setting its own permissions for downloaded stuff (look for something like dmask or fmask in the docker config). You might also need to chmod -R so it hits all sub folders. If you have a file or directory mask option, remember that they’re inverse, so instead of 777, you’d do 000 for rwxrwxrwx.

The article you’re looking for is in Dragon #62 - The half-orc point of view. There’s a whole series of them and they’re all good reads.

Yeah, I’ve stopped using plex entirely. I was grandfathered in, but it just got to be too much nonsense. The license changes to unRAID don’t meet that bar, IMO. Yeah, the old license model is gone, but “buy once upgrade free forever” is what caused plex to go the route it did. I honestly never expected to get upgrades forever - I assumed that it would have to go one of a few ways for the devs to be able to feed their families, and what they choose is definitely one of the lesser evils. For a lot of use cases, it even makes sense. I stayed on 6.x for probably close to 3 years, so i would have saved money with the new scheme. I’m also willing to admit that if you’re truly dead set on free (both libre and gratis), then there are plenty of solid choices there, too

Yeah, they did something goofy with it, but they’re at least trying to not be nakedly evil. I got in when it was just a perpetual license, but the new model isn’t as bad as a lot of people think. TrueNAS is good too - I use the enterprise version at work and it’s done well. The biggest differences are that the Ent. version doesn’t expose containers or lxc so i don’t know how that works, and TrueNAS/ZFS requires same-size disks where unRAID allows mixing sizes while retaining up to 2 parity disks. At work, I buy specific drives, so zfs is great - at home I buy what’s affordable, so zfs isn’t so good. I also saw one of your other comments, and unRAID supports hardware pass-through to containers, so exposing your AMD iGPU to jellyfin should be pretty simple. I can’t speak to how TNas would handle that

I’ll make the obligatory unRAID suggestion. It fits a lot of less intensive scenarios like what you’re describing. It does carry a cost, and the licensing model is “interesting”, but it has top-tier ease of use, especially around container apps. It would also allow you to use that 1tb ssd as a cache drive since the OS would run from usb (well, in-memory but stored on usb). You can also trial it for free for 30 days and if you don’t like it, there’s plenty of good suggestions in the thread already

Everything is just peachy this week except that I’m still trying to sort out why my I’m unable to access the internet when I’m connected to my unraid wireguard instance.

I am also finally ready to ditch my plex instance, too. Got some self-inflicted permissions issues sorted and it’s been smooth sailing for long enough that I’m ready to make the switch

I’m not trying to build smokeless necessarily. Mostly, the rocks are for even heat distribution and appearance. I worry that the rings i bought won’t support flagstone, so it needs to look good without them

Either is fine, I’m trying not to break the bank on it though. The pit will be outside, below a high canopy but not covered/roofed. I’m also not sure where I’d even find some of the more esoteric rocks. Would chipped marble work here?
