They get it, but they believe that some lives are less important than others. When someone holds that position I haven't found an argument to convince them otherwise.

That is huge.

He's always been a fake. Claims to be "just calling balls and strikes" but actually has a center-right agenda. He had a good parlay in 2008 and people have been treating him like a sorcerer ever since.

No one's questioning that you saw a Cybertruck, just that you actually said those things to the owner.

Yes, especially with a standing desk. When standing, you'll need the monitors much higher off the desk than when you're sitting.

I recently got a Therapod chair and it's the greatest thing I've ever sat in. It has adjustable tension straps built in so you can make the lumbar support exactly where you need it.

This is good to look into. I've tried remote streaming on several different devices. Before I bought the NAS I was sure it could handle a few streams, but maybe I was wrong.

Thanks for the tip. My ISP only offers static IPs for the business tier, but I'll ask about ipv4.

I'm sorry, I'm not knowledgeable enough to answer this. Should my router be bound to a certain IP? I believe it has an assigned local IP, but does it also have a public one?

IIRC the University of Minnesota's patent expired a few years ago. I can usually get them for the same price as fujis and pink ladies.

A good friend of mine is a Lutheran pastor. She explained that, contrary to what I was taught in Catholic school, "taking the Lord's name in vain" doesn't mean swearing or saying "god damn it." It means to bring up god or religion for your personal benefit. And, you know, of course it does. It's amazing how religious schooling gives people permission to twist language around like that.

Ah, okay. Thanks for the clarification.

submitted 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) by triptrapper to c/selfhosted
 

Hey all, I'm very new to self-hosting and have no background in anything computer-related. I'll explain in as much detail as I can. I'm running Plex on a Synology DS220+. I'm using the Plex app, i.e. not using Docker (see note below).

The issue: I can watch Plex on my local network in 4K, but outside my local network it barely makes it to 720p. I thought it was an issue with my upload speed, but I got gigabit last week and it hasn't fixed the issue. I have remote access enabled in Plex through a manually-specified port. The issue persists with my own account and any friends who have access to my library.

I appreciate any advice, links or questions you can offer!

NOTE: I understand the benefits of Docker and I promise to transition in the future. I spent many hours learning and troubleshooting, and it was even functional at times, but eventually I needed something that just worked.

EDIT: You all have been so helpful and supportive. Thanks for meeting me where I'm at and sharing some potential issues.

Replacing moldy sealant (self.homeimprovement)
 

There are a few spots I've neglected to replace old brittle sealant (around the kitchen sink) or never sealed at all (new faucet I installed 8 months ago). Now there's black gunk accruing under and around the sealant.

When I go to replace the sealant, how do I kill the mold so it's safe to seal over again?

Thanks for any advice you can offer.
