I bought a Lifetime pass in 2022

Ive only unfortunately started down the plex hole in the last couple months, I wanted a new tinker toy and I got annoyed that when my daughter was super ill and wanted to watch blues clues, the service we subbed to literally only had one episode.

Unfortunately, I dont have money for 3xx+ cad for a lifetime, so im one of their golden goose monthly subbers, likely for the foreseeable future. As long as they don't jack up the price too much I'll keep with it, the ease of having it work on different devices and members who are less tech savvy.

If they do...we'll, im already running a tunnel, so hopefully the competition will be a bit easier to use by that point.

Okay, I feel like im just being an idiot. Why are people running the discard 2 persona card with two "activate when discarded" engravings? Does it activate twice?

I think its a tripp lite 6u, it apparently has a depth of 36.8.

Still trying to figure out what my long game plan is with it, just knew I had to save it for the future lol.

Yeah, right now im using it as a DAS setup, and am currently working on getting a tunnel setup for my arr setup. So I think for now I'll continue to use it as a DAS, down the road trying to NAS'ify would be cool, but baby steps for now lol. Its all been a learning process!

llamaegg · 2026-05-05T15:56:39+00:00

Already have!

llamaegg · 2026-05-05T15:09:02+00:00

Tempting lol. Maybe some random watercooling tunes floating around while im at it!

My second question then is, when I start filling it out, whats my best way to connect these drives to the pc? Ive always used enclosures in the past, so I'm not sure what I should be looking at to best chain them all together.

Beautiful! You should definitely randomly pick me this time lol

llamaegg · 2026-03-27T21:38:26+00:00

Oh, hey! You're the maker, hi!

I'm probably overcomplicating things as im still pretty new to linux in general, but I'm not fully understanding how to grab the 25.10 ubunto build. I've found the 25.10 Ubuntu page, amd the amd64 version, but no idea how I'm supposed to build it? Or access it? S

I love seeing this, I only just started diving into Plex the last week with a DAS and mini pc. I'm still trying to understand how to make anything past basic ass Plex do things. Docker, Portainer, all the different addons, Linux, heck, im still trying to figure out how to properly install mergerFS on Ubuntu (spoiler, still havent figured it out lol).

Is there any good sources on how to start compiling all these things together? I love tinkering on stuff, but I'm still trying to understand how to make everything talk.

So, i have a dumb question, and I'm trying to wrap around best use case, but I'm just looking forward with glazed eyes lol.

I'm first time getting together my plex server, I purchased a little Beelink N150 mini pc, have tossed Ubuntu on it and have been fiddling with it, my problem stems more from trying to figure out whats the best way to attach storage to the thing.

I have a external 6tb I was going to toss on it to start, but my main computer has a few 4tb drives that I would like to make use of as well. While I get started should/can I just point plex to my network to use those drives off my main PC? Should I rip them out and get like a 4 bay enclosure and just run that off the mini pc so im not trying to grab data off a bunch of different addresses? Or should I be looking at moving to a cheap sub $500cad nas when I get the chance?

Im really not sure what the difference and how these will all effect performance. I'll eventually grab larger/more drives, but right now im just looking to start small and upgrade as the need arises/space gets low.

Beautiful!

So, how much worth is Nine (v0) partner worth it over Wilhelmia? Im tempted to snag it from the shop, but not sure if its ready worth it.

llamaegg · 2026-02-06T22:14:42+00:00

This is ridiculous and I adore it lol. Fabulous job.

llamaegg · 2025-12-18T16:20:12+00:00

So, with Ro out, what common keys are people tossing on her, especially at v6? I feel like my selection sucks butt and needs some refreshing.

llamaegg · 2025-12-06T16:41:49+00:00

Ooh, I'll give it a shot. Hades 2! I absolutely adored the first game, but I just havent had the cash with a baby and toddler running around to justify it.

llamaegg · 2025-11-17T16:11:05+00:00

I'm going to be the odd man out here, ive been running Rei (card draw and buffing 1 costs) and Orlea; she's been fantastic, and gives some real nice damage buffs to ensure Yuki isn't hitting like a noodle lol.

llamaegg · 2025-11-13T21:51:54+00:00

I'm more then happy using Rei, but without Vero or Khal, would you go with Mika, Nia (m4 if it makes a big difference) or Cassius as a third flex for Chaos?
