    Appreciate it! I’ll play around with the configuration and see what works. Initially I had a really fun (/s) time with permissions on folders that were accessed by multiple containers (could write to one folder but not read it with Plex, for example) so I’m going to phase it in incrementally, hopefully without breaking my current setup.

    Maybe this is an incredibly dumb question, but I was actually doing research on a very similar question to the OP and I still don’t really have a definitive answer.

    I currently have a series of docker containers running Plex and the full *arr setup on the Linux drive of my PC. Because I dual boot my machine, I want to migrate my server to a NAS so I don’t shut it down whenever I switch from Linux to Windows. I’m seeing that I could theoretically use a NAS just for the media storage and keep all the transcoding (ie all of the docker containers with sonarr, radarr etc) on the existing Linux drive. However, would the Plex container live on the NAS or the Linux drive? I’d assume the NAS?




  • My daughter is 2 months old so she’s not mobile yet, but this is definitely something I’m dreading in the future lol. Right now all I have to worry about is being woken up by her fussing in her sleep every half hour (she sleeps in a bassinet at the foot of the bed), but we’ve gotten better at discerning what merits actually getting up vs letting her self-soothe.

    To answer the original question, though, having a child will train you to be able to wake up in a matter of seconds



  • We bought our 1800 sqft house in Sacramento for almost 600k 2 years ago, when it was worth less than half that the last time it was appraised in 2008. We were at least fortunate enough to get a 30 year loan at 3.3% but we will NEVER see property taxes as low as many of our neighbors who have lived there for 20+ years.

    My parents are selling their house in a couple of years in order to move closer to us. They’ll easily get over a million for it and then they’ll turn around and use that money to buy a house for 500k in cash. Yeah, they’ll take a hit in taxes but they will still have plenty left for buying the new house outright (so no mortgage), plus doing some additional renovations that my dad wants to do in order to have his dream kitchen.

    I mean, it provides more protection, not immunity. I got boosted in October but I was pregnant and thus immunocompromised. I got it in November but none of the rest of the family did We hadn’t been leaving the house for anything but groceries and even that was enough. My daughter was born at the tail end of symptoms so here’s hoping she got a good dose of antibodies to protect her until she’s old enough to be vaccinated herself.




  • Ugh, I feel you on the work thing. We use the Microsoft suite and although technically there are online versions of the software, it’s fucking terrible compared to the desktop version, especially Teams (and sometimes I just flat out can’t get Teams to work in the browser since it doesn’t play nice with Firefox). And no, I can’t just use Libre Office because it will fuck up any previous formatting of word docs, or in the case of Excel there will be functions that aren’t supported.

    I’ve just accepted that I need to be my own IT support for anything Linux in most day to day applications. Calling or emailing customer service inevitably gets me the answer that Linux is not supported.




  • It’s not “ruined” but my 3 week old daughter has been particularly cranky today, she refuses to go to sleep despite multiple feeding sessions, diaper changes, and attempts at burping. I’m already tired because I took most of last night’s shifts, so I’m glad we’re not leaving the house. It’s a bit of a bummer because I usually love everything about Christmas (the music, the lights, the food, the presents) and we are pretty much missing all of that this year. I can’t wait to make up for it in future years though!
