I always thought this is why the Facebooks and Googles of the world are hoovering up the data now

Because Windows 11 is yet another painful transition for staff who are mostly IT illiterate folk, and it easier to leave things the way they are until necessary…

I thought I read that Intel said this was from messing with voltages? I have had plenty of these processors in the last couple of years and never experienced crashes, but I don’t overclock

No one believes this stuff anymore, right? Google combines 3 teams to focus on making the Play Store more profitable… something something developers

They have always followed the iPhone event haven’t they? Maybe this year they think they have enough advantage to lead

I eventually got the GPU passed through to the VM… it took about a day of following different guides. Then I tried the same thing on a container and it was about 3 mins work and it was in infinitely better experience with plex in a container instead of a vm

Maybe there is no kool-aid and it is just better, hence why these apps exist. As you said, RCS is coming yet people still aren’t happy. It sounds like Google can’t make a decent messaging app and is mobilising it’s user base to force the issue instead of innovating

Why not go whinge to Google to develop a messaging system that Apple users want to integrate with…

Flatnotes for me. I haven’t tried many others, but it was perfect for what I needed. Markdown, writes plain text files so no database/easy to backup

I got a cheap 4 bay Terramaster off Amazon for $250 AUD… they are on special a few times a year including prime day and Black Friday. They are ok. I get about 95MB/s write to a raid 5 array

I run a couple of instances of Plex in Proxmox containers. I use containers so I can share the GPU/Network across more than one CT. I think if you use a VM it can only pass through the GPU to one

This happens to me when there is an app keeping a file opened on NFS storage mapping

Cheap second NAS that I power up every now and again, then I run a dsynchronize profile which replicates the important stuff (video), and all the stuff I could never replace I put on a usb and keep it elsewhere

If I have already purchased a copy of the physical media, I don’t think it is piracy to acquire a digital copy of the same media for personal use

After spending a week working through the intricacies of running it in a vm, lxc, I settled on a privileged LXC container

It was so much simpler to get the quick sync hardware transcoding working, and it just seems so much faster in LXC. Also, the host GPU can be shared across multiple LXC containers

I just run a weekly backup for the LXC using Proxmox backup to an NFS share on the NAS

I have been looking at markdown editors for a couple of weeks and I settled on Flatnotes in Docker. It is so simple and elegant and I just mount the notes repository to an NFS share on my NAS

I use PhotoSync to backup my iPhone to an SMB share on my NAS

Buy cheap 4 bay nas and 3-4 disks (3 disks minimum) and setup raid 5 which will allow one disk failure. If a disk fails, pop disk out, put new one in (equivalent size or larger) and it will rebuild.

You could probably try build one using normal pc hardware and freenas software, but I personally find a purpose built nas operating system less of a headache and fairly cost effective

Just did some reading as it has been many years since I did firewall… looks like dns is mostly UDP, but fails over to TCP if the dns reply exceeds 512bytes.

Pretty sure DNS is 53 UDP. Not sure if you meant it like that.

Port 53 TCP is for dns zone transfers
