i think their point is if you want to comment make a google account and comment… or dont.

personally, it boggles the mind why anyone would want to do that.

why not both?

i suspect this falls under the golden rule of 3… price,quality,[ethics].

you get to pick 2

dhcp is the only service that would allocate the address. if you use an address outside of a dhcp scope, youre fine in that it wont be automatically used.

now, this is kinda different per manufacturer… but in some routers generally setting/assigning a static to an mac address is just forcing a little mini 1-to-1 dhcp scope your incoming mac to the ip you set.

well, i do try and keep all my data hot in the server… i am using the devices as redundancy, so no raid anywhere. 24Tb with 3 copies.

ive got a couple of 6-bay readynas i got second hand and a plain ol’ ubunutu workstation i crammed with 6 drives and an ssd.

app server runs off 6 local disks(and an ssd for os) which are replicated to the 2 nas as logical (they pull), the workstation gets a drive-for-drive physical

rsync is your friend.

one piece i highly recommend is running your torrent solution in a container with the network set to a gluetun container. no fuss, no muss, vpn’d torrenting.

for the nas piece, im a big fan of the nas device being single purpose. its life should only exist in fileserving. i have several redundant nas devices and then a big ol app server.

my goal is the ron popeil method of ‘set it and forget it’

friends dont let friends run mail servers. id recommend no on that one

i remember when you could get disks from netflix… 7 at a time! i would turn them around same day. it really helped fill out my movie collection

oh wow, not in a long time…well over a decade…almost 2! i gave up on live tv around then

im usin kodi/jellyfin (plex is proprietary) mostly for the ‘pseudotv’ plugin… so i can have a cable-like system from my local storage

if youre using Emby/Jellyfin you would just need emby to access the folder with your music. users would be authenticated through emby.

i think you should groom your media before you drop it into a media broadcasting solution like emby. i use MediaElch for video, you could use picard for music management. im fairly certain picard has dup detection and rename abilities.

so you get all your music tagged, renamed and encoded the way ya want. then get them organized into files/folders… then drop that into your emby library.

lidarr is for obtaining media files and creating a process that automatically injects it into your library. you would want emby running correctly first.

theyre routing through a standard SMTP service either hosted by their ISP or an external service theyve sighed up for to relay their mail.

i push mine out through AWS SMTP service, for example.

cloudflare has a known habit of taking heavy users and forcibly converting companies from a $250/m plan to a $12,000/month plan.

some people would be happy for that to happen to bad entities like an online casino, but really, to cloudflare the business use is irrelevant and it could happen to any of us.

the lesson is to minimize your cloudflare dependencies. if you have to use it, use it in an agile method where you can move to something else quickly should you need to.

ya gotta try it, its almost impossible to ;

qmmp does pretty well with the winamp skin, but it would be a treat to run the real winamp on linux

you can hardly tell you had that tbi awhile back. congrats!

100% agree. gluetun solved my vpn bleeding/failure problems.

friends dont let friends host email. its just become too top heavy (complexity-wise) if you want it to be fully functional and secure.

at some point the stock motors will just evolve and the slow ones wont be available anymore. the supply chain will upgrade even if they dont require speed

sounds like your issue isnt with the number of networks, but how youre addressing them. fix that.

if youve got a container that only needs a single or a few ip’s then its defined network should reflect that.

docker, persistent shared storage
