Things have changed a lot over the years. I miss WinMX where if a search didn't have what you wanted, you could search again tomorrow when different peers were online. These days, when I want to watch something, I first check justwatch.com to see if it's on any of the streaming services that I pay f...

My ISP is a phone co-op for a rural town with a ton of farmers. I'd be surprised if one out of one hundred knew what an ip address is. I'm hoping to convince them that I just need roughly 1/6,500th of an ip address, and I'll gladly pay that portion monthly. (Rounded down to the nearest penny, of cou...

I learned recently that I don't have a public ip address, so using Plex remotely is tricky. I'm natted. My ISP ran out of ipv4 addresses and isn't doing ipv6 yet. I'm going to try to find a tech at my ISP to sweet talk, because the sales guy wants me to pay $10 extra per month to get an ip address. ...

If it helps, there are more people than tvs in the house. (It was a close one. I had to count to be sure.)

I got Plex installed, and it was super easy. Tested streaming (Roku TV app) and that was also super easy. I guess it's time to set up a server. That Synology looks like a good deal. I don't know if I could beat the price by much just by cobbling together a new computer. This is a good excuse to get ...

I'm going to give it a shot. I think I've got Roku on every tv in the house, so it should be painless for everyone else to connect.

I've been looking for an excuse to set up a "backup" server instead of just some spare drives in my desktop.

I've been thinking about getting Plex set up. It's a pain when that movie you want to watch isn't on any of the dozen streaming services you pay for. It would be a lot easier if I could just source the video (from somewhere legal and totes legit, of course) and then stream it elsewhere in the house.

I'm back, baby! The new theme looks slick, Battye.

They're tenacious.

Seems like it was only yesterday we were all hanging out in chat.

Nice.

I've run standard keyboard through the dishwasher before. I've only done it 3-4 times, but it's always worked after drying for about a week.

Congrats, Battye!

I tried to log on, but couldn't access the site from the hospital. (don't worry, good news) I even tried to set up an ssh tunnel to the house so I could get around it, but couldn't convince the web server to give me the right page.
