The inflatable duck ring make sense, after you solve it :/

The complete and utter lack of a mobile friendly interface is beyond frustrating. No android, i don’t want you to snap zoom to the search bar every fucking time i go to my stacks page!?

When it gets stupid-humid in Texas, my phone thinks I’m trying to multitouch parts of the screen. Not world ending, but those tiny close buttons can be a pain…

I don’t remember what kind of yarn it is, it’s been sitting in my yarn box for a couple years, to the point the label degraded :/ But it’s a two-tone braided acrylic I got from Michaels, in one of those semi-seasonal displays they have in the middle of the main aisle.

If I can find another one, I’ll update with the brand/style!

Lol, if there’s a dog at the party, call me marshmallow: cuz like a sweet potato pie, I’m on top of it.

I’m basically making a Dr. Who scarf, but only one ball of yarn.

I’ve been working on a scarf since around September. I call it my anxiety knitting and i hope to have it done just in time for summer…

Yeah American Dad is all over the place because of this.

Don’t use WordPress for static sites! Other poster mentioned straight up html, js, css with PHP if you’re feeling frisky. WordPress is so bloated and unnecessary for what you’re wanting to do.

Can’t speak to cheap boxes, so usb might be the way, but I use a Zimaboard. Two built in SATA ports, and a pci-e daughter card gives me two more ports. Full disclosure, i don’t do anything more than 1080p, bad eyesight…

Throw some hard drives on it and baby, you got a stew home media server goin!

Portainer for docker stuff; CasaOS for RAM, CPU usage, disk drive monitoring, samba shares.

Casa also lets you access the file system, so when jellyfin fails to clear transcodes, I can go in with the web interface and delete the folder.

Better matching with dubbed versions of non-English shows. I have to manually search, since the “language” isn’t English in the original, even though there’s an English dub. Using Sonarr

Same.

Jellyfin, Audiobookshelf, kavita = Media stack

Arr suite, Vpn, BitTorrent = Pirate stack

Edit:

CodeServer, git, esphome, home assistant = Code Stack

I’m not a shil for them, but I’ve been using a zimaboard as my main “server” with a raspi 4 clone running the *arr suite. 2 SATA connectors and a PCIe slot, I’ve got a daughter card with two more SATA spots, 2HDDs and 2SSDs. I’m powering the whole setup with an old pc power supply.

Hands down the absolutely best written female characters in sci-fi. Drummer is 5-foot-nothing, and she made Thomas Jane’s character literally about-face when she stepped in front of him.

I can second the Zimaboard. I’ve got two HDDs hooked up to the SATA ports, and grabbed a cheap PCIE SATA daughter card for the SSDs.

I also used a PC power supply to run 12v to the board, and i use the built in SATA power cables. Look up “how to use pc psu as power supply”, it’ll tell you how to get it running without a motherboard.

Here’s my setup:

Yup, as soon as they started the mandatory login bullshit, I bounced. Companies keep adding this “feature” as a way to control your stuff: Doom on Switch, Halo Master Chief edition, nvidia, my fucking mouse(!?); all need a login for no other reason than to add a point of failure/killswitch.

On my pixel 5(?) You can swipe down on the finger print thingie and it will drop the notification bar down. Do it again, and it’ll fully expand.

I miss my Nexus one… One handed, trackball that glowed whatever you had a notification, cheap…

I had a Netgear nighthawk r7800 with ddwrt, which finally crapped out. I went with the TP-link Deco Mesh router as a replacement, and so far it’s working better than the ddwrt router. There are versions with Wi-Fi 6, but i went with the “3 stations for ~$120” and haven’t had any problems with speed, since tht bottlenecks are usually external/cable modem related anyway.

My biggest selling point for the tp-link, it’s much easier to set a local dns, with a fallback to 1.1.1.1, something i could never get to work on ddwrt. So whenever my Jellyfin transcodes bring the Pihole to a screeching halt, it will at least fallback to external dns and not take the whole network with it.

I can also have a base module Ethernet connected to my pc in the office, another hooked up to the cable modem and zimaboard in the livingroom, and eventually, a raspi with a couple of low resource containers (pihole, home assistant, nginx). My goal is to hardwire as many things as i can for speed/signal noise purposes.
