So much has been going on

I moved recently and had to change ISPs. I went from 2 Gbps symmetrical fiber to 90/3 Mbps satellite behind CGNAT.

Fastest place to get the WAN cable into the house was through the attic and into my guest room / office. But that caused some serious heat and noise issues. 

Ran some structural Cat6, installed new electrical outlet, put in some keystone jacks, wired a new patch panel, then moved the rack to the basement.

Bought and installed a UPS which has already saved me twice in a month.

Up speeds were too slow and the high latency to the satellite constellation was causing issues, so I spun up a small VPS. But that means I have to sync content back to my local.

I’ve been wrestling with rsync for over a month… fiddling with flags to get the best results. I think I finally settled on a config yesterday and the service and timer are working well 

CGNAT is messing with remote access, so I set up cloudflare tunnels. But the tunneling is not well suited for streaming. I was only getting 100 Kbps on remote connections. Ran some iperf3 testing over tailscale and was slightly better.

My preferred audiobook app Prologue released a major update to v4.0 which broke Plex libraries on launch, so I had to quickly pivot to AudioBookShelf.

To achieve remote streaming and access for Prologue, I had to explain Tailscale set up and create new user accounts. Only halfway through my user base. Not looking forward to explaining it to my parents

Finally, I’m trying to set up Claude to run on my server rather than my locked down enterprise laptop. That’ll allow more tooling access like git rather than before when I was spending a lot of time downloading and uploading files manually. I need to figure out how to keep my session open. I’ll probably run tmux inside a docker container then run claude inside the tmux window. Hopefully that works
