Probably just so you don’t accidentally waste time unknowingly rereading a book.

Idk, I think Frieren isn’t about the action, and all the stuff about elves and maturing, and what is really important etc is a breath of fresh air to me. And has just been interesting and different to me.

I think maybe Lina Inverse from Slayers. But picking a favorite is hard.

Testing the Jellyfin photos thing out now. I don’t know if it’s working right, but when I first looked at it the issue was I thought it seemed very video focused. I guess otherwise I’m learning docker after all.

Fair enough, last time I tried docker, which was a long time ago, I had all sorts of issues with permissions and persistence. I guess it’s probably better now.

I don’t want a research project. I just was hoping there was an easy to use program to make the viewing better than samba shares. Maybe I just need a set of programs that will display thumbnails over samba.

I mean, I suppose there’s always potential. It’s just that there were 2 seasons already, so not only does season 1 have to do good enough to warrant a sequel, we need season 2 to also do well enough, and then we get something “new”.

Well, what you could do is run a DNS server so you don’t need to deal with IPs. You could likely adjust ports for whatever server to be 443 or 80 depending on if you’re internal only or need SSL. Also, something like zerotier won’t route your whole connection through your home internet if you set it up correctly, consider split tunneling. With something like zerotier it’ll only route the zerotier network you create for your devices.

syncthing will work with pretty large amounts of data, unless you mean having the storage space on each device is the “won’t work” issue.

Noise doesn’t matter in a data center which is where the switches live. The power use might be more than a 1gbit, but they’re in line with any dual power enterprise switch really.

I will have to see that. I would be concerned about pushing cat5e that fast. I am not sure about cat6, but again that speed is not fast enough to buy new cards for the computers and if we were buying cards I guess the 10G fiber cards are likely cost competitive now that servers are dumping them as obsolete.

Yea, I think 2.5G is really searching for a market, that may not exist. For home use, 1Gbit is in general plenty fast enough, and maxes out most US customers Internet too. For enterprise use 10G is common and cheap. The cards to get an SFP+ port into any tower or server is just really small. Enterprise is considering how to do 100G core cheaply enough, and looking for at least 25G on performance servers, if not also 100G in some cases. If you’ve got the budget you can roll 400G core right now in “not insane pricing”.

2.5G to the generic office (that might well be remote) is likely re-wiring and unnecessary. And that’s if you don’t find ac WiFi sufficient, i.e. sub 1G.

OMG I can’t wait. This was amazing.

I’m a big fan of cyberpower. If you want full remote management, buy one with the web control card, I’m pretty sure you can do anything via that. You should be able to get one in your pricerange.

Fair enough. Last time I checked, I saw enough people warning against btrfs that I just figured it wasn’t going to catch up to ZFS and kind of forgot about it. Now I realize that may have been awhile ago, and if it’s not in RHEL, I haven’t considered it as enterprise ready - which recently is changing with Red Hat / IBM losing their darn minds, but my “working knowledge” is limited on stuff I don’t watch all the time.

I like xigmaNAS if you want a simple NAS and ZFS.

I’m going to say avoid btrfs, it’s still basically in beta. I want to see wide use in industry and functions like competitors - a la mdadm / vdev and ZFS have.

I watched the first episode of Sugar Apple Fairy Tale, and then kind of had a blog post that trashed it for whitewashing slavery took my enjoyment out of it. But now the second season is also highly rated - I wonder if I should go back and watch it?

The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen - the top MAL comment kind of strikes me as likely: “This anime is a cheap copy of My Next Life as a Villainess.” If you’re watching this, what makes this worth watching if I’ve already seen that?

Also, is MAL just overly negative in their ratings?

Yea, I guess I’ve outgrown Bleach or something - I sort of like the first part of TYBW, but the second part I just haven’t made time to watch. I’m actually more interested in the Vending Machine one lol.

I agree with everyone to not let the TV access the internet. Instead, get a raspberri pi or le potato or the like with LibreElec (or whatever the current successor OS is) running Kodi. Point it at a SMB share and bam.
