Thanks, I’ll give it a go!

I suppose it’ll be easy since my whole stack uses IPv4, so I’ll be simply adding another interface on without service disruptions.

Each year I seem to think “this will be the year I set up IPv6 in my homelab” - but then I never get around to it.

If I have to run both v4 and v6 concurrently, there isn’t much incentive/motivation for me to use v6 locally.

Maybe I’ll get around to it when there’s a net benefit for me for my use case, or when I’m forced to.

Am I just imagining it to be more complicated than it actually is?

My router runs pfsense and I have 6 VLANs each with its own subnet - Management, Trusted, IoT, Cameras, Guest, and Web Facing Servers.

Ah no wonder it’s experimental.

It’ll get there eventually.

Ah! Good to know! I haven’t touched my Mac client sync settings in a while so I’ll check this out.

Looks like that feature is still in beta and therefore only available in the beta client. The stable release still uses the .nextcloud extension workaround.

I hated Universe when it first came out, but I gave it a proper go last year and really loved it. The Battlestar Galactica comparisons are valid, but still great in its own right.

Is that still the case for the Nextcloud macOS client? Because this post from the devs from a few months ago implies that the .nextcloud file extension behaviour is temporary and that they’re meant to be using Apple’s File Provider API, same way that Dropbox and OneDrive do.

Syncthing doesn’t have an ‘files on demand’ feature though. The way that cloud storage providers do it is by having placeholder files which are selectively synced. Resilio Sync can do it, although it does change the file extension for the placeholder files to .rslsync temporarily.

Being more aware of the passage of time helps me, so setting an alarm is what I do.

One of my clients referred to Zip disks a few days ago. That really sent me back. Only my rich friends had Jaz drives, whereas the rest of us were still using Zip disks and optical media. Those early USB thumb drives at USB 1.0 speeds were also painfully slow.

My portable storage journey progressed from 5.25” floppy disks, 3.5” diskettes, Zip disk, CD-R/RW, DVD-R/RW, 2.5”/3.5” external HDDs and now portable NVME SSDs.

Yo mama so fat, undomesticated equines could not move her.

Because he had +3 plot armour.

Where’s the Goa’uld sauce?

If the goal is to prevent telemetry, you could use Little Snitch to blacklist all Logitech applications from being able to go online.

Unless I’m missing something, you can’t have multiple user profiles.

I use Infuse on my Apple TV with Plex Media Server as the backend. I can work with that limitation on Apple TV because my wife and kids use the official Plex app while I use Infuse, but ideally I’d prefer if we all used Infuse.

Does getting it on with Hathor and spawning Goa’uld symbiotes also count?

Jellyfin server isn’t lacking, but the weak point is definitely client software, especially on iOS. Unfortunately they just don’t have the same kind of resources Plex do in that regard.

I run Plex and Jellyfin, with watched status between the two synchronised with jellyplex-watched.

Don’t forget the catering if you want to be a good host. Can’t be having orgies on an empty stomach now can we.

One caveat worth noting is that as soon as subtitle burn-in comes into play (especially at 4K), then you’ll easily hit 100% CPU usage and encounter stutters. It’s less of an issue if you’re using good clients and have control over that, but may be a problem if you’re sharing with your family and they have problematic playback clients.

I’d like my appliances to stay dumb. I don’t need Bluetooth and WiFi in everything.
