What seemingly random thing do you vehemently hate?
  • For many people it's the one day of the year they feel special. I think we all deserve that, and it costs me nothing to wish someone a happy birthday. That's not to say I'm required to spend time or money on them, but it doesn't bother me when all they want is a bit of recognition.

  • Jensen Huang is now worth more than Intel — personal net worth currently valued at $109B vs. Intel's $96B market cap
  • If I'm reading this right, you're saying you'd understand if Huang sleeps soundly at night despite his wealth. I've made more money every year for 5-7 years, and I've never worried that I've become an out-of-touch rich person. For most people, becoming wealthy is gradual. And like you said, we can probably all look back at our past hardships and feel confident that we earned our paycheck.

  • White House believes Iran is preparing imminent ballistic missile attack against Israel
  • Dude. I was at the dog park and sat down next to a friendly, hip-looking boomer. We were talking about dog names and he said he studied Latin in high school. He name-dropped some Roman poets and I thought, "What an interesting guy!" It took about 60 seconds for him to say we're living in biblical times, Israel will topple the Muslim rulers to reclaim the kingdom, and "the West is begging Russia to nuke us."

    These people are absolutely obsessed with the death of everyone on earth. No wonder they find the most delusional sickos to represent them in government.

  • Plex remote access - low quality even with gigabit fiber

    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.

    EDIT2: I found the culprit by accident. I had UPnP enabled on my router. I turned it off and my local speeds increased significantly, and my Plex library is available remotely. I don't know how or why UPnP is related, but that's what the solution was for me. Thanks again for all your input and support.

    Replacing moldy sealant

    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.
