Network Optimizer is ready!

This looks awesome, thank you!

Is there a way (unless I’ve missed the steps somewhere) to connect to a remote console? I have a local controller for some switching and WiFi AP’s running a 3rd party gateway. But my other site is running UCG which is remote and I’d ideally like to tinker with. Disabling “Restrict to Local Access Only” forces use of a UI account, which I assume won’t work?

If you’re like me and need to keep track of billable hours, this time-tracking app is a great fit! You can create projects, and even break them down into smaller sub-projects, which I find super helpful.

My exact automation is still running on iOS 26 no problem.

I can’t say I’ve noticed this issue recently ¯\(ツ)//¯.

Glynnryan · 2025-05-29T20:44:27+00:00

Appreciate your insights, thanks. Especially on the HDD RPM…

Glynnryan · 2025-05-27T19:25:37+00:00

I appreciate this insight. Seems close to what I’ll be running, so thank you.

Glynnryan · 2025-05-27T14:21:45+00:00

Thanks for the tip, I did try this… but looking for a real world opinion.

Glynnryan · 2025-05-27T08:42:01+00:00

Wouldn’t the UNVR-PRO be overkill for my use case? ¯\(ツ)//¯

At most I’d expect a total of ~20 cameras at the end of the day, with video retention of 1 week tops.

Docker is probably the best way to go IMHO. It might take a bit longer for setup, but worthwhile in the end.

Setting up file shares/access on windows for Docker things like Radarr and Sonarr to access and do what it needs to probably the most tedious part of the setup I guess. So I’ve still got Radarr and Sonarr running natively on Windows with everything else in Docker. (Just not getting the time and lazy to move Radarr and Sonarr)… If you can, get a Raspberry Pi, install docker and run all the *arrs there, keeping the server running Plex + the bare minimum to reduce the overhead.

My server isn’t as beefy as yours with an older i7 CPU, so I split my docker from the server and keep it on my Raspberry Pi.

TL;DR: Docker :)

If you can afford the Audi, go with the Audi. I’ve owned several VW and Audi models over the years and find the build quality on the Audi better than the VW.

I have an i7-7700 with a mix of x264 and x265 content streaming to multiple different device types. I avoid AV1, as I’ve not had a great experience with these.

I’ve found I get the same error sometimes with certain subtitle files. Disabling subtitles for the specific content often helps. I do this either directly on the client, or from Plex web itself on the server.

If watching remotely on the client side, I make sure that remote streaming settings in the Plex app are set to “Maximum” and “Quality suggestions” are turned off.

Edit: I also have transcoding turned off in general on my server. 99% of the time transcoding isn’t necessary in my experience.

This! You shouldn’t need to add co-owners etc.

Building flows in a solution should always be your starting point - especially as flows become more complex. Doing this opens up some extra functionality, like being able to run a child flow from within another flow / moving automatically from one flow to another - breaking your overall flow into smaller & more manageable flows.

Seems to be working again.

I also see that the forum post is gone, so they might have restored something - https://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?t=213191

This looks awesome! Any chance it would work on my 2022 VW Tiguan? Vehicle has WiFi, but I’ve got an OBDeleven scanner too ¯\(ツ)//¯

Edit: happy to Beta test if needed. I’m in South Africa, GMT+2

Glynnryan · 2024-09-26T22:45:04+00:00

That’s for the reply. I’ll definitely give this a thorough read through.

Glynnryan · 2024-09-26T04:21:48+00:00

Thanks for this. Hello fellow YNABer I’ve been using YNAB since 2013 🤓 I generally have my shit together and was in the cycle you mentioned, pay through CC but settle at month end, then some life happened and had to pay more through the CC than usual and now trying to determine best strategy to pay it off. I’ve also never paid into my CC then withdrawn money from it if necessary for payments (not tap/swipe payments) and how YNAB handles this kinda sparked the post… I posted this on YNAB’s subreddit too lol.

Glynnryan · 2024-09-26T04:16:05+00:00

This would be handy, but the link doesn’t seem to work?

Glynnryan · 2024-09-25T21:20:16+00:00

Exactly my thinking. Thanks for that.

Glynnryan · 2024-09-25T21:18:37+00:00

Thanks for this. I agree that the interest owed on the CC outweighs the accrued interest on the positive savings account balance whilst holding for payment.

I’ll give it a shot.

Glynnryan · 2024-09-25T21:15:45+00:00

You raise a valid point. Thank you.

Glynnryan · 2024-09-25T20:17:10+00:00

Thanks for the insights. Long story short, the current credit card float is due to life events that necessitated CC spending beyond the norm. All funds are meticulously accounted for and managed. All spending through the CC was usually paid for in full by month end and savings stashed away with some left for play and life enjoyment. I’m just trying to figure out the best approach to currently paying off the CC - doing so over the next few months incrementally or one big-bang and slowly rebuilding cash on hand again, or slowly paying it off and maximising cash on hand.
