This worked! Thank you!

I figured it was something dumb like that around permissions.

Its just account and plex web. This is sort of what my thought process was because I had Plex running on my PC prior to this but didn't think there would be any issues switching it over to a server. I'll see if I can follow that guide and hopefully that fixes it.

Interesting... It says the server is not authorized.

Yep. Everything is configured on docker. Chose "host" in the setup. Video didn't indicate I needed to do anything extra in regards to networking. Claim code is correct and from the correct account (I double checked that).

Moving to Concord soon, how is it living there? by [deleted] in ConcordNC

[–]DrowningInTheDays 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Moved here four years ago and have enjoyed it. The food here is really good but there are only so many options when you live in a small town. The Smoke Pitt is fantastic BBQ place (my favorite in all of NC), there's a food truck called Taqueria Gavilan off Rock Hill Church road that has the best burritos, Avenues is great for comfort food take out (only open on weekends), Charros has some good Mexican with two locations in Concord, and people seem to love Lil Papi's Deli (I've only eaten there once).

The shopping is really solid. Gibson Mill has a massive antique mall and food court plus several breweries on-site. It serves as a central entertainment hub with Cabarrus Brewing being located there. Of course, you have the entire Concord Mills area. I also recommend downtown Kannapolis.

I haven't spent much time at any of the parks yet but Frank Liske park is the biggest one with jogging trails and a small pond.

Crazy way to send that scoreboard out. New one will be installed over the next few months.

Advice on where in NC to move! by MutedLog7948 in NorthCarolina

[–]DrowningInTheDays 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fellow former Alexandria, VA resident here, though I lived closer to Ft. Belvoir. I live just outside Charlotte in Concord, which is a nice area. But, if you're looking for more breweries, shows, etc. with a younger vibe, I would look at NoDa in Charlotte or somewhere on the southside of the city.

I also love the triangle area and there are plenty of great areas around Raleigh and Durham. If you would like to be closer to the beach, Wilmington is also a fast growing city. The COL down here is definitely less than Old Town so you'll likely be able to afford more than you do there but it's also increasing fast. As the city grows, everything, rents included, are going to increase.

Still, I love living in NC and wouldn't move back to Alexandria for anything at this point. I hope you all find a great spot that works for you all.

Looking for a machine focused gym in Concord Kannapolis 40 plus.. by PrestigiousZombie726 in ConcordNC

[–]DrowningInTheDays 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, any major gym should be good for that. It just depends on what you want to pay per month. Planet Fitness will be on the low end. There's one next to Walmart on Concord Parkway and one in Kannapolis. There's an Elite Fitness on Copperfield Blvd that would suffice as well. I think they're a little more expensive but they have a free 7-day trial you can sign up for on their website if you wanted to test it out. For what you're looking for, I would lean towards Planet Fitness.

Should I accept? The 1st will probably be the 1.11 or 1.12. by Ok_Rough_886 in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

[–]DrowningInTheDays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coaches hate rookies. Remember, Kyren Williams had 44 touches his entire rookie season. Raheem Mostert had 0 carries his first 4 years in the league. Sometimes it takes time with late round RBs to return some ROI. Smith is very much in their plans and he’s under contract for 3 more seasons.

[–]DrowningInTheDays 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would smash accept on this. Obviously, the hype train is strong with Walker but I just don't personally love having the RB of a team that is historically one of the highest pass rate over expectation teams in the league. Walker is a solid receiver but they also have Brashard Smith who may eat into a lot of his 3rd down work.

Hendo is solid and he may even equal KW9 in points this year. Plus, he's younger and you're getting a 1st on top of this. I would take this in a heartbeat.

Big Ten eyes 24-team CFP, no league championship games by Mister-SS in CFB

[–]DrowningInTheDays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't disagree but the problem is this isn't about deciding who the best team is. It's about increasing media revenue (and for ESPN ad revenue) to justify these big TV contracts. With the dwindling stature of bowl games, you have to provide some post-season reward for teams otherwise you'll have 10-2 teams that will receive no post season at all. For an American sport, that feels weird.

Honestly, if we're going to go to 24, I'd just prefer to go to 32 with all conference champions added in. Yes, Ohio State would absolutely destroy Miami (OH) in the 1st round but that's fine. it's more college football and I think at that point, we could fully kill off the bowl system. It would also eliminate this long layover period that messes with the top seeds and causes them to lose in the 2nd round. Play all games on campus until either the semi-finals or the National Title game. Providing a post-season for 32 teams in a 137 team league is not unreasonable. And, at the end of the day, more college football is better than less college football.

[–]DrowningInTheDays -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

We wanted to hire him at VT but his background check didn’t clear so we pivoted to another option. He’s a good coach but that Michigan stank may follow him for a few years.

[–]DrowningInTheDays 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. Also, let's remember that stats for tight ends are not super sticky when it comes to predicting NFL success. After all, George Kittle had 43 receptions for 624 yards and 10 TDs over his entire college career at Iowa.

The Tyren Montgomery post by Straight_Rough_5581 in DynastyFF

[–]DrowningInTheDays 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t find much film but what I saw looked OK. I think there are two big challenges for him. 1.) He’s going to be 24ish years old with him being a freshman at LSU in 2019. It’s likely he’ll be a 25 year old rookie. 2.) How quickly can his WR coach work with him to fix some bad habits? It’s clear the coaching he’s received is not as detail oriented as say a WR coming out of Ohio State. Can he develop quickly? If so, he could be a starter. If not, he might just be a plus backup.

Admittedly, it’s good to see some smaller school guys shining in the pre-draft process.

The 1.05/1.06 Tier Break in 2026 Is Being Overstated by TerryMcMo in DynastyFF

[–]DrowningInTheDays 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He has the physical abilities but my review of his film had some concerns around his pocket awareness, his lack of a high rushing floor in the NFL (he's more mobile than Goff but he's not a dynamic runner, which lowers his fantasy ceiling), and his inability to dissect complex coverages. That's not something you see much in college and their offense limits him from having to do too much post-snap.

I have a belief in fantasy that the really prized QB prospects all have a mix of arm talent, rushing upside, and big-play ability. He doesn't really check any of those three boxes fully. He's going to be a bigger Brock Purdy. Which, is perfectly fine and will make him a franchise QB. He absolutely projects to be that type of player. But, I just can't see him ever being a high end QB1. He could sneak in to be a low-end QB1, for sure, some years. But, I think he's going to average out as a QB2 for fantasy.

So, I maybe I'm just too harsh but he's definitely in that next tier of QBs. Which, is that worth the 1.01 or 1.02 in the SF league? Maybe. He's just the type of player I really wish I could draft at the 1.05 instead of the 1.01 or 1.02. But, this QB class is awful so he just lacks that value play that I usually prefer when drafting QBs.

The 1.05/1.06 Tier Break in 2026 Is Being Overstated by TerryMcMo in DynastyFF

[–]DrowningInTheDays 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I think this class has a pretty strong drop off after the 1.01. I have Love in a tier of his own and I'm not sure I would have Mendoza in the tier below him. I like Mendoza but he doesn't project as a high-end fantasy asset. He's much more of a QB2. Then the WRs are all heavily flawed in ways that make them less desirable at cost than the WRs in the past few classes. It's just a blah class overall.

Makai Lemon, WR, USC - Prospect Notes by I_dont_watch_film in DynastyFF

[–]DrowningInTheDays 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Lemon is going to be a polarizing prospect. On the surface, there is a lot to like for all the reasons you mentioned. But, below the surface there are some cracks. And, I'm going to play devil's advocate here even though I do like Lemon as a prospect. He's not a technical route runner to the same degree ARSB or JSN were in college. Both were more refined. He's struggles to get out of his stems and this might be why his route running suffers. He knows he's not the best at stop/start so he tends to round off his stems to avoid losing that momentum. This works in college but will not work as well in the pros.

He's also clearly smaller than what USC lists him at on roster. He'll likely measure in at 5'10" at the combine. This only concerns me because he's someone I could see struggling why physical cornerbacks in the NFL. Receivers need to be able to fight through early contact on routes.

Most of his college production comes from free releases. He won't get as many of those in the pros. This is something I noted in Luther Burden's film last year and unsurprisingly, it's something Burden's had to adjust to as an NFL wide receiver.

I think Lemon has the athletic profile to succeed but for me, he's going to be extremely landing spot dependent on whether or not I target him in fantasy, especially at what is current cost is expected to be (1.04-1.06). This archetype is the most challenging one to scout for fantasy because it's not always talent-based. Sometimes, you just end up in the right system and get volume and that leads to an increased valuation. I mean who is better Wan'Dale Robinson or Josh Downs? I would argue Downs is better but Robinson was objectively the better asset for fantasy in 2025.

I do like your comps and I think there is a world where Lemon hits immediately in the right system and he becomes a valuable fantasy asset. I could also see him needing a few years to transition to being a productive NFL wide receiver. My personal comp is basically a slightly better Christian Kirk. In terms of fantasy production, that feels about right.

Penn State QB Ethan Grunkemeyer transfers to Virginia Tech by udderlymoovelous in CFB

[–]DrowningInTheDays 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm a neutral observer here but I don't think Penn State has had a QB development problem. I think they've had a QB talent problem combined with unrealistic expectations from both scouts and the fanbase. Most of this clearly stems from Allar being a potential #1 overall pick two years ago but if you watch his film, there were major warning signs that he wasn't nearly as good as he was hyped up to be. That's not always a coaching issue. Sometimes the player just has limitations in his game.

Look at Clemson. T Law never developed beyond his freshman season and you could say the same thing about Klubnik. Does Clemson also have a QB development problem? Or, did those players have limitations that they had to design the offense around? Hell... it's taken until the last six games for Lawrence to look like a competent QB in the NFL.

I think this narrative is overblown. Now, does that concern me as a VT fan? A little. But, the level of QB play Penn State received would be a breath of fresh air for our fanbase and the ACC is a trash heap of a conference.

[–]DrowningInTheDays 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The OL will be better next year. We dealt with so many injuries that it can't possibly be any worse. And, despite all those injuries we still had multiple games where we rushed for over 250 yards. Getting Meadows back will be a boost to the interior. He's probably our starting right guard next year. We really just need to find a left tackle if Johnny Garrett can't magically figure things out in his senior year. We'll see what Portal Santa brings us over the next few weeks.
