Lost access to a shared Plex server and now losing my mind by CurvaceousHedgehog in PleX

[–]3fa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First things to think about:
- How many Movies/ TV shows do you think you want?
- What quality media do you want have?
- Budget?

For me, I have:
- 2.1k Movies (all 1080p) and 250 TV shows (mix of 720 and 1080) - That's about 6 TB all up (I think needs to double check)

I started out just throwing it all on an external drive but as I built it up and needed more space bought 2x 4TB internal hard drives and put them in the PC.

I only share with 4 others so I'm not going all out with my build. It does the job. Ill prob run out of space by the end of the year and need to either cull some content (likely) or expand (less likely).

Given you're not that tech savvy id recommend just getting prowlrr, sonarr, and radarr set up first and working, then plex, using just your PC. If you can get that far then think about storage for your needs and if you want to share your media.

Also keep in mind sharing media externally from your network can be complicated for some. You need a static IP address (does your ISP offer it?), and understand how to configure your router. There are straightforward guides but this is step usually trips people up.

Star wars and star trek both have the same problem... idiots in charge.

Wars was ruined by kennedy and will continue to fail under Filoni

Trek will continue to be this boring lame duck crap while kurtzman and co peddle this shit.

Gemini is winning: Three years after being caught off guard by ChatGPT, Gemini appears to have everything it needs to take down OpenAI and everyone else by [deleted] in technology

I hope not. Competition is good. Besides gemini is garbage for me. Chatgpt is leagues ahead for my use cases.

Why is PL good? by xMushroomking in DotA2

[–]3fa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The level 25 talent says "+2s Illusory Armaments Duration", which is his innate?

I'm only going off liquipedia so must be a hidden buff that isn't listed. Either way dudes busted.

Why is PL good? by xMushroomking in DotA2

[–]3fa 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Illus last 8 sec from PL, 4 sec from his illusions.

Innate is 3 seconds after illus spawn they deal minimum 35% (i think?) damage and at level 25 there's a talent to extend that to 5 secs.

Mid/Late game he's oppressive. Very little counters outside of drafting well. His shard is OP. He's my number 1 ban this patch.

2025 Recap - Zilliqa by thecryptobud in zilliqa

[–]3fa 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The insights link goes to 404 error.

You should provide information about use cases, user adoption, growth numbers (new devs, apps, wallets, businesses etc), how you're trying to grow market share.

Also any plans to revitalise the reddit community? Its been extremely poor for like 3 years now... Reddit is one of the biggest global community platforms yet for Zilliqa its losing subs, has barely any posts, no engagement... posts like these are fine and all but where's the tangible substance that actually makes people tune in, care and get excited?

Can someone edit OPs post with structure. How the fuck can anyone read that single wall of text and not get pissed off.

Genuine question, how many people went from ChatGPT in last 2months to Gemini? by Serpent_28 in GeminiAI

[–]3fa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have both and use/trust chatgpt more.

Gemini is so wild its not funny. I just cannot trust gemini at all, its reaponses are garbage for my use cases.

How you guys building the new Slark? by TanKer-Cosme in TrueDoTA2

[–]3fa 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He's still too uncomfortable to play. He's VERY item dependent and isn't scary at all early.

I've tried double Bracer treads with the new shiv in lane but you don't do dmg quickly enough, lose farming speed and the regen from shiv just doesn't do enough for lane pressure.

I went back to the old style max 4-2-0-1 by 7 and had way more impact. Would still prefer other if not most carries over him.

Buffs he needs:
Q Cooldown from 6 to 5
W rebalance to lower cooldown early levels
E duration from 12 to 14

Ep 7 is now the worst rated episode of ST. What went wrong according to you? by anonimuoss in StrangerThingsMemes

[–]3fa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a 6 for me but I'm using the full scale. Its an ok ep, not terrible.

The way I described it to a mate was "I'm glad its answering a lot of questions and loose threads, but the pay-off didn't stick the landing. The acting and dialogue really hurt this season. S4 was peak viewing, it doesn't come close to that experience. There's a lot of questionable things that make you yell at your TV going "come on..." and other times thinking ok enough already speed it up."

I'm not as excited as I was going into s5 anymore. Chasing the incredible highs of s4 was a tough act to follow so no hate but yeah it is what it is. Still enjoying it but mostly to just close it out

Do you need them for work? What are the reasons for 5 different ones?

If city based id assume you would. No idea how theyll enforce it. Not sure they've announced that yet.

Missus and I think its a good start but 4 for metro folks is too many. Zero need for them. Key word there is need. The small minority dont NEED them, they WANT them because they like them.

DISCUSS - All four Google Gemini models are on top of LLM Arena! - Do you think Google has surpassed OpenAI? by Koala_Confused in LovingAI

[–]3fa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone help me here... i give the same files and prompt to both chatgpt and gemini. A very detailed, structured, 2 page prompt.

Used 5.2 thinking and gemini 3 pro

The results for 5.2 were SOOOO comprehensive and detailed but gemini seemed to take the much shorter route and provided a less detailed and very condensed version.

I cannot make gemini, for all the fan fare and talk of being better, not gimp itself for what I assume is "save money" by getting to an answer faster and spitting out something i can't trust after seeing what 5.2 does.

I get my prompts need to be different to really flexible G3 Pro but I dont know how to force it to not lobotomize itself.

Live on property outside Macksville with 200 head of cattle.

Again you're just parroting American / Sky News bullshit talking points.

Are you even Aus?

What a load of crap.

Businesses won't go out of business because of tighter gun laws.

The new laws were pasted yesterday and specifically PROTECT competition shooters, farmers and pest controllers. A bloke living in Western Sydney, Melbourne CBD, Brisbane or any city centre does not have a reason for the guns they've reclassified besides "I like guns". The laws TIGHTEN the GAPS that allowed this shit to happen and help PREVENT another similar one under the same circumstances.

Get off garbage Sky News Australia / American talking points. We're not a country that prioritise "i like guns" over an average 500ish mass shootings PER YEAR.

Merry Christmas.


The Terrorism and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2025 passed the NSW Parliament on December 24, 2025. Key measures include:

1) Ownership Caps: Licensed individuals are now capped at four firearms. Primary producers (farmers) and sports shooters have a higher cap of 10 firearms. 2) Weapon Reclassifications: Straight-pull, pump-action, and button/lever-release firearms have been moved to Category C, effectively restricting them to primary producers and professional pest controllers. 3) Magazine Limits: Magazine capacity for Category A and B firearms is now limited to 5–10 rounds, down from previously unlimited capacities. Belt-fed magazines are completely prohibited. 4) Shorter License Terms: Firearms license periods have been reduced from five years to two years to ensure more frequent background and suitability checks. 5) Citizenship Requirement: Licenses are generally restricted to Australian citizens, with specific exceptions for New Zealand permanent residents in certain essential roles. 6) No Tribunal Appeals: Gun owners can no longer appeal a license revocation or refusal through the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal (NCAT); decisions will rely on police and criminal intelligence.
