I love the idea of an Ironman, but I keep running into the idea of hating having to pay for two memberships. I really wish (and I know this’ll never happen) that Jagex would allow for membership sharing across a Jagex Account.

If you’re still memeing Seinfeld, then you’re old enough for this to be applicable to you.

Btw have you seen this meme?

This is literally just Ana De Armas cartoonified

If you’re behind a CG NAT (carrier grade NAT), you’ll be doubly in trouble as it will be essentially impossible to get a forwarded port since your “IP” is essentially a LAN address within your ISP’s CG NAT, if that makes sense.

But I appreciate OOP providing a source!

Awesome, thanks so much for the help!

Can you help me to understand how to bypass the CDN while using Plex?

A luxury truck with the ugliest headlights on a car today.

I believe the actual behavior here would be printing “dong” as the shell interpreter is greedy in its evaluation of variables.

It was streaming locally from my 920+ directly to my LG tv using the official Plex app on the tv and the Plex docker container on the NAS with iGPU passthrough. Tried it in both mp4 and mkv formats. Since the tv doesn’t support DTS it was transcoding into (I think) AAC. When I would change the playback from DTS to any other codec (for files with multiple formats), the video would play flawlessly, it was just the audio transcoding.

Only problem that I have with mine is it just doesn’t have the power to transcode audio flawlessly. I have a lot of DTS content and it just stutters all the time. I had to set up a Tdarr pipeline just to add EAC3 tracks to everything.

Just make sure you get an Intel box. If OP ever wants to use Plex it only plays nicely with Intel and Nvidia hardware transcoding.

Well the good news for you is that a website specifying one or the other is nothing more than marketing from that app maker! So long as there is a QR code (or a long random-ish string), you can use any authenticator app that supports that website’s 2FA algorithms!

That last bit is important because I think Lemmy had a non-standard 2FA algorithm (SHA-256?) that wouldn’t work with Google Authenticator.

Unfortunately there are some websites that require Authy (probably because Authy wined and dined some business executive). I absolutely loathe these sites but if it’s a site you’re not willing to live without, you’re stuck with having Authy plus your main 2FA app.

Is it less secure than it could be? Yes.

Is it better than no 2FA? Also yes.

In the end if it doesn’t work for your security model, than more power to you. But if it helps to increase the security of the average Joe, it’s good advice.

I know I’m shouting at the wrong clouds here, but the Vizio software just bugs the heck out of me. It’s so slow and I’m consistently frustrated by how they keep making the product worse and worse and shoving ads more and more in your face.

I’m not gonna comment on the Linux portion because you seem quite passionate, but both Libre Office and Open Office are cross platform apps. So they’ll work just fine with your OneDrive / Dropbox / Backblaze / whatever to give you the wonderful fully cloud synced experience on either Windows or Linux.
