He just told you. Assign VLAN on each individual port on your switch. Done. If your switch is unmanaged, then you need a new switch to support VLANs.

Also -1 for netdata. I loved the analytics but it brought all of my VMs to a screeching halt. It did not seem very will optimized for the amount of data it was polling.

Yes you can. It requires those docker containers to be installed and plugged into it on a stand alone system. This is exactly what HAOS is doing behind the scenes for is users and why many stick with it.

Yeah it’s near impossible to block on streaming services because most of the ads are served up from the same DNS locations that the watchable media is hosted on.

What makes it better other than the UI? I’m weary of using it because it is developed by Russian developers.

I completely forgot I had installed this app until reading this post. Guess they are making the right choice!

Mobile UI is atrocious after the recent upgrade a couple months ago. Wish I could go back.

It finally got there though at the end of it’s life. I have mine available still because it’s basically a modded Wii with the ability to also play WiiU Roms too.

I’m fairly certain Nintendo recently released new controllers that are compatible with Bluetooth and have the old cord input for the GC adapter\console they sold for WiiU\Switch. So controllers should be fairly available for you at least.

That’s how I got mine and realized how wrong I was about refusing to buy Wind Waker because kid Link was the protagonist. Bought it because Twilight Princess was coming out and I got a used Wind Waker copy for like $20 too.

I had an issue with my launch day PS2 when it was still in circulation. Thankfully the fix was to open up the console and flip a toggle switch to allow it to read both both DVD and PS2 games again. Console is still going strong to this day for me.

This is the way. My setup is very similar except I only use authentik for Nextcloud. I don’t expose my “arr” services to the Internet so I don’t feel it necessary to put them behind authentik, although I could if I wanted.

Using Duo’s free 10 personal licenses is also great as it can also plug into authentik for MFA through the solution.

It’s the same for reality competition shows too. If someone is getting more front time camera spots then the rest of the competition early on in the show you can typically bank that they are going home that episode.

You’re going to build your own smart TV that can handle new HDMI and Displayport advancements too?

I backup my ESXi VMs and NAS file shares to local server storage using an encrypted Veeam job and have a copy job to a local NAS with iSCSI storage presented.

From there I have another host VM accessing that same iSCSI share uploading the encrypted backup to Backblaze. Unlimited “local” storage for $70\y? Yes please! (iSCSI appears local to Backblaze. They know and have already started they don’t care.)

I’m backing up about 4TB to them currently using this method.

I’m sure you know this, but snapshots are not backups!

Worth mentioning that NZBget is no longer in development. It still works but there is a fork out of a new client someone is developing. I can’t recall the name but easily findable. This would be the equivalent of your torrent client.

It’s nearing year end and you can get end of year deals soon on providers and indexers so off hold off until November\December. I think I got a lifetime NZBGeek membership last year for like $100 or something. It was my first time doing usenet but I actually switched my instances to use usenet indexers first over torrent indexers its that good.

Funny enough I just cancelled my Hulu after they jacked the ad-free price up to $18. It was $12 when I first subscribed about 6 or 7 years ago.

I will say thier D+ and Hulu price doesn’t seem bad with the current promotion, but I’m getting D+ currently from family. I’ve always sailed the seas even when subbed to Hulu, but once D+ starts blocking sub sharing I’ll be shoving off for the long foreseeable future once again.

That was my thought too. Not knowing how much they cost and reading $100 I already knew that amount was way too low. I’ve gotten recalls on dehumidifiers in the past and the rebate usually equated to about half of a new unit. That’s obviously apples to oranges but still a rediculous offering given the price of a newer model.

That’s definitely a help, thanks for the details! The description of your plan sounds more along what was a available to us, but I’m currently paying off a 401k loan until 2027 so any huge project would need to wait for sure. I’m in Ohio and a few houses in my neighborhood already have solar, and we do get hail about twice a year here. I’d also want batteries as our neighborhood gets brownouts a couple of times a year too and that would help with it.

I also appreciate how you explained how the tax credit works too. I’m hopeful to do something before they expire it, and I’m also hoping they don’t end it early!
