  • Bob sounds like a fucking legend!

  • So long as Tailscale maintains their free tier, they would fit OPs needs just fine. If they move to get rid of, or otherwise enshitify the free tier, there would likely be time to move to wireguard or something similar.

  • Found the (Republican) American!

  • Good answer. Some of the comedies that have been mentioned have a lot of subtle stuff going on that really require your attention (they’re mostly still good if you’re not paying attention, though). The USA stuff was pure fluff. Much of it was actually kind of boring if you paid attention!

  • College football: when you win the coin toss, you have 2 choices: kick or receive. No more deferrals.

  • Absolutely drink a lot of water. One general starting point I read awhile back, focusing on people predisposed to kidney stones, was to divide your weight by 2, and drink that amount in ounces every day. If you exercise, it recommended 1 liter/hour, and that didn’t count towards your daily water needs.

    Also, along with cranberry juice, add some lemon juice to the water at least once per day. This will also help with breaking up stones and keeping them from forming. You can keep the juice in an ice tray in the freezer to make it a bit more handy. The bottled lemon juice is terrible compared to fresh, at least in the US.

  • getoffpocket.com, my guide to Pocket alternatives, just got a redesign

    Jump
  • I thought Omnivore was sold.

    Also, isn’t pocket being renamed to something? Odd having it listed as an “alternative” to itself!

  • Started with playing MUDs in the university computer lab. Started on Windows 3.11. Got a Mindspring dial-up account while in college, and discovered IRC not long after. Wound up working for an ISP (InfiNet) for awhile in the late 90s.

  • Yeah, nfs v2 3 or 4 can make a difference. I don’t know that many use v2 anymore. If you’re using the current release in your distribution and didn’t specify a specific version, I would guess you’re using v4.

  • They’re all just dumb consumer switches. Nothing managed… yet.

  • I’ve looked into NFS multiple times. I work in HPC implementation and believe me I know about SMB/CIFS performance (or lack thereof!)! I just haven’t had the time to figure out ID mapping. What NFS version do you use, and how do you handle file ownership on the shares? I suppose it’s all read-only, so that would make it a bit easier?

  • This sounds pretty great, TBH. I think I’m probably tied to Synology for the foreseeable future with my parents’ and my NAS being each others off site backup. I know there are other ways to do it, but the investments are already made on both ends. Plus, they’re retired, so the 1522 with 18TB drives wasn’t a small expense for them!

  • Aside from looking at the current activity on the server web page, where might I look to see if this is true?

  • Agreed! The library is populated by my parents and me. I’d have to look again, but i think it’s around 12TB.

  • Everything's wired. Router is a TP-Link BE63, 2 APs w/ wired backhaul. Shield is on the same switch as the synology. STBs are throughout the house, but generally max 3-hops to the Shield/Synology. All Netgear bluebox 1Gb dumbswitches. At some point in the near future, I plan on getting this stuff to a central switch, so everything is a leaf switch away from it.

    ETA: if I’m watching something, the network is generally pretty quiet. I have most data-intensive things (downloads, backups, off-site replications) set to happen in the wee-hours.

  • Got it: qbit == qbittorrent. I've thought about getting the remaining docker containers off of the Synology. I may look into that this weekend.

  • The network testing I’ve done (iperf and file transfers) hasn’t revealed any issues. I’m seeing consistent 1Gb speeds. I could try some wireshark monitoring, I guess.

  • limit qbit upload speed

    Not sure what you’re referring to here.

  • I see no other issues from the network. The thing that “changed” is me trying to watch 4k stuff on my plex server. Up until recently, I didn’t bother with 4k. No real reason for trying it now, TBH. I’ve never felt that 4k was necessary for home viewing on anything smaller than a 100” screen (my largest if 75”).
