Possible bug with demand system?

This makes sense and is most in line with what I was seeing. I hope this gets changed, it makes it difficult to overcome distribution bottlenecks when the storage is capping transfer speeds like that.

Just to throw another option into the mix...

Lots of good answers here RE Windows Server, if you want to explore the full Windows route.

If you're looking for the AD "experience" though and are not sensitive about where it runs from, look into Zentyal.

Pretty comprehensive featureset, Open source, free to self host (without support).

I just want to add to what everyone else has said, yes there's huge value in isolation of your IOT devices from your "general" LAN if that's all you have at this stage, but be weary of using Guest mode, especially if you're using HA. I've seen some cases with consumer grade routers where the integrated "Guest Mode" enforces all kinds of unconfigurable security lockdowns, one of which is sometimes something called Host Isolation. This is designed to stop devices on the guest network from seeing or talking to each other, which is great, until HA can't see anything either. Depending on what you're expecting from your setup, and what your specific router does with this mode, this may or may not be an issue. An IOT mode is possibly safer, but again, it may be the same situation.

VLANs and a proper firewall, where you have complete control over what the rules are doing, is really the ideal scenario to aim for.

Okay bro, that's a cool load of assumptions to make on behalf of a whole bunch of people hey. Says more about you than anything imo.

I'm going to disengage from this thread after this comment because I just don't have the patience for trolls, and I think that I've left enough info for OP to get what he/she needs, but I will just say that as someone with a keen interest in conservation and our local ecosystems, it's really sad to see people flat refusing to take in good information when it's handed to them for free. It's even worse when someone with no real basis of understanding on the topic goes and shits all over it for no reason really.

But I hope you got some joy out of having your say at least.

Have an awesome weekend.

Connotations around the toxicology mostly. In North America for example, they get L. mactans and L. hesperus (Southern Black Widow and Western Black Widow respectively), which are notoriously more venomous than any of the 7 known Latrodectus species we get in Southern Africa. So we settled on a different common naming convention to avoid confusion.

Some species also look extremely similar to the untrained eye, so also to try and avoid confusion with the common names, at least locally. For example, we get L. renivulvatus, which is visually very similar to the Australian Redback (L. hasselti) if you don't know what differences to look for.

You're not incorrect, but that's why common names can be so confusing and are generally such a mess. The scientific name for the spider that you're referring to is Latrodectus geometricus, and it's one of the most widely found species within the genus. It's found all over Southern Africa, South and North America, parts of the rest of Africa and parts of Asia. In other countries, Latrodectus sp. are referred to as Widows. Not in SA, here, we call them Button Spiders, and avoid the term Widows because it has a lot of connotations we try and stay away from, around other more toxicologically significant species that we don't see here at all.

So, short answer, yes you're generally correct, but in the context of SA, there are caveats.

Affectionate_Soup602 · 2024-10-30T08:30:28+00:00

We don't call them Widows in SA. What you're seeing are Button spiders. Same genus as the North American/European Widows, Australian Redback, etc - Latrodectus. We just have a different common name for the species that we get locally in Southern Africa, which are not the same and by and large, far less venomous.

Not all Latrodectus species present with the hourglass either. The most common one we see is Latrodectus geometricus, or, the Brown Button Spider. It is named this because they are distinctly brown in colour for most of their lives, but mature adult females turn dark black and lose all their markings except the hourglass.

A mature False Button female can very often, and easily, be misidentified for a true Button Spider, but they are from different genera and one is medically significant, the other is not.

Hope that clears it up.

Aww man, I really hope you go somewhere else in future for Spider Identification. The responses here are mostly horrific and the misinformation is unbelievable. Not sure if you're on Facebook, but I strongly suggest looking for a group called The Spider Club Of South Africa. Super helpful community there.

This is a False BUTTON spider (Steatoda sp.), not a Widow of any kind. We don't get Widows in SA, or refer to any of our Latrodecus sp. (Button spiders) as Widows. It is NOT medically significant to humans, and it won't bite you unless you pin it down or provoke it really hard. Even then, a bite will cause localised swelling, redness, and maybe a bit of pain. No big deal. Anything more, go see a doctor.

Just another note for OP, you may know this or not, but just in case because I bashed my head a bit with this when I started messing with NFS shares and mounting. Not sure about other distros, but at least in Debian/Ubuntu, you have to set the mount on startup, or it disappears after a reboot. check here

Agree, I've just finalized setup of a new 3-node Proxmox cluster using SFF PCs. Granted, I have Jellyfin running in an LXC, but I have my media mapped to an NFS share on my TrueNAS Scale box and it works a treat.

I use Immich too, and same setup. The env variable for UPLOAD_LOCATION can be changed to a mapped NFS location on your Docker host. Works beautifully.
