I’ve just started a Zulip POC and it’s been decent so far. Definitely resembles Discord.


OP — Plex is a step easier, as Plex brokers the connection. No reverse proxy. The same plus in this case can also be seen as a minus.

I’m still on the Plex bus, and it’s good for me and friends. Jellyfin will get there one day, but right now it’s just not quite feature complete enough for my use cases.


Similar boat. I’m still on the Plex train, but otherwise I share the same story and recommendation.


Yup, expect a residue if you delay removal. Painters tape is meant to be removed relatively soon after application. Rubbing alcohol can typically remove the residue.


Oh my, I didn’t catch that one but will be searching for it!

I love* solving wonky user issues. People do the darndest things.

*Subject to tolerance and patience levels of both user and self


Nothing wrong with a Windows box as your server. Use what you know. Windows skills are a great asset in the world.

This issue is OS-independent, meaning you would have the same problem on a Raspberry Pi as you did on your Windows box.

Irrelevant, unless your pihole is running on your DHCP server. Does the server running pihole have a statically assigned IP that is within the DHCP range being assigned to other devices?

Static addresses should be outside of your DHCP range, ideally. If you can’t change the range, and assuming sequential handouts of IPs from your router among other things, you can try setting the server’s static IP to a bigger number.


I’ve been so happy with rediscovering rss via FreshRSS and NetNewsWire that I’m chiming in on old threads. That is all. 🤙🏻


Welp, I went down the wonderful hole of Actual today. Thank you for that!

Let’s see if it takes over from my xls. I’m liking it. It’s quick and I see lots of potential.


Where did you purchase? Camelcamelcamel shows those sub-$150 price drops on that capacity might be a couple years old, too. :-)


The way to make sure your backups are working is to regularly restore from them

Just here to echo this. Hope is not a plan.

Taking a backup is a warm fuzzy. Restoring is a nail biter.


Like most things when comparing Apples to Androids, the Apple product is typically cleaner and more performant throughout its longer lifespan.

My Apple TV 3 is still doing OK. My Firestick / Android / GoogleTV devices from the same time period (and some even later) are too slow to use.


I think your response answers the question.

If configured correctly. Can be fast. IMO, once those statements are less conditional and prone to error, we might see the pro of privacy carry more weight.



I use LunaSea on iOS to search via Radarr/Sonarr. VPN when I’m remote. A++++++ would recommend.


Ha — no kill like overkill. Indeed! Thanks for sharing!

I’m currently running pihole on a Pi 3B. It’s been solid for about a year on that hardware.

I’m going to do a little digging on the compute needed per WireGuard connection. Cheers!


Another vote for PiHole.

Also, thanks for turning me on to Unbound. Which Pi are you running those services on and how’s the performance?


This. I remember being amazed that it just handled it.

The only catch I remember running into is that Sonarr must be aware of all storage locations. That is, if I didn’t see the path in Sonarr’s system info, the auto copy and rename didn’t work right.
