  • Agreed! I stayed with Plex for a long time because Jellyfin had a rough time with live TV (antenna) and I already had a PlexPass because of a sale a long time ago. Now Plex is only still running because I love Plexamp.

  • Yeah, definitely not something for a fire alarm lol, when I said random tools I was actually thinking about my tone test tool. No clue why it uses a 9v but that and my favorite multimeter both need them.

  • Rechargeable 9v's are a thing I found when randomly searching on Amazon, the ones I found have a USB-C port on the side and are pretty good. Definitely handy for random 9v tools that always seem to be dead when I grab them.

  • I think they may have meant it like that, email does not support PGP out of the box, it is just the medium the data is using. In the same way you can send data via SMS that is encrypted when it leaves one device and decryped when it reaches its destination (unless the recipient doesn't have a way to decrypt it, which I think is both of your points).

  • I couldn't agree more, I join selfhosting communities all over and not just because I need more stuff to host, because of the community. I love getting to read through the questions and answers, even when they are questions that could be answered by just reading the man page... Maybe it just reminds me of the good old days as I'm getting older and remember asking a lot of similar questions.

  • That's why permissions are important, so many people want full control of everything then seem to forget when they launch a program, it runs with their permissions. If I want to wipe out everything on a drive I have to elevate my permissions to a level with rights for that, running a program with the rights to wipe their data was definitely a choice.

  • I'm going to blame my device, there was only one that I didn't know and the rest were answered as soon as it was visible (under 2 seconds easily). I'll give the next one a try from a different device.

  • For my son I just used APLs in group policy. Only approved apps could run. I encouraged him to be better than me and he has definitely kept me on my toes. Now he is in college for cyber security and loving it.

    So far he hasn't broken anything major on his computer or the network, well, aside from messing up his BIOS a couple times... But then he got to teach me how to program EEPROM (like I said, he has kept me learning stuff I normally wouldn't).

  • Only missed one but got no where near the scores you guys did (I'm guessing there is a way to answer before the answers appear for a higher score)... This is a really interesting little game (now to try not to forget about it).

  • Oh yeah, I've killed mine a couple times. Usually it's because I didn't keep it updated and jumped too far ahead too quickly. Rolling it back and walking it forward fixed it for me once, another time there was something I was supposed to run first and I didn't read the release notes (that one was a really long time ago though).

  • Here in the southern US, pigs in a blanket is typically made from little cocktail smokies wrapped in about 1/3'rd of an uncooked pilsbury cresssant, then tossed in an oven until done. I really thought a sausage roll from Tesco would be similar but it was not... That's when I realized y'all have pretty bad food there (no offense), why did you guys start putting hotdogs in pizza crust? As an aside, I love how orderly everyone queues up for stuff there, almost like a country with functioning adults that teach their kids how to wait their turn.

  • I like OAuth for simplifying my login process mainly. I use Authentik for a lot of my home services (calibre, nextcloud, freshrss, etc), and not having to deal with Plex's authentication service would be awesome. In fact a few months ago my work started blocking Plex, not my home domain though so I can access the webplayer but not login now (so no more morning local news in the background now that I'm back in the office).

  • Yeah, been a lifetime Plex pass holder for a long time, it was fun but it still doesn't support OAuth and now they are forcing ads before local TV streams now. I realize the latter is probably more on the Roku side of the house as my shield hasn't started doing that yet.

    Really live TV is the last thing holding me onto Plex, well that and I really do love Plexamp and the sonic analysis bit Plex can do. Plex's days are sadly numbered for this selfhoster.
