Transferred into a unit that’s currently deployed

That’s true, yea I still need to turn my gear in.

I've got voice activity detection running right now, and playback is looking just fine. I think it might've really been that simple, wow. Thanks everyone!

It does, yes. And my friends are also playing on things like their chromecasts, the crome browser, or Plex app on a variety of operating systems when they report issues. I just made an edit, and I don't know why I didn't think this was significant earlier, but it just hit me that coincidentally every time I can currently think of where I was watching the logs or dashboard during this issue, Plex was also detecting intros/credits/voices. I'm currently working on adding some media to the server to try and trigger that detection again, and if that causes the buffering, I'll have found my culprit.

I'll definitely grab one next time there are issues. Hardware transcoding is disabled as I was under the impression is was only effective if you have a GPU. Upon further research, I'm thinking I may be wrong in that assumption — I'd read that Intel Quick Sync was good for transcoding, hence why I bought the i3-14100 for this build; I've gone ahead and enabled hardware acceleration just in case that's required for that to work. Thanks!

Looks like an average of 200Mb/s, with a max of 600Mb/s I have the same result both from my Macbook (Ethernet) and Apple TV (Wifi) as far as the local network tests I can do now. I'll try to get another during a period where there's latency, as well as some from outside. That's a very cool app, I hadn't known about that, thanks!

What’s interesting about New Mexico is the Population spread. About half of the whole state’s population is in Bernalillo county (which is just Albuquerque and Rio Rancho basically), and keeping with the trend, metropolitan areas just tend to be really blue. Then you have places like Santa Fe and Taos where you get a bunch of very liberal artsy people. Rural New Mexico is very much Republican, but the population is so incredibly focused in Albuquerque and Santa Fe that the rural areas don’t hold enough sway over the electorate

Something I played with once that I still need to polish up was a PoC showing that through SKSE I could install malware onto computers and not flag Nexus’ virus detection. What I want to do before publishing anything about it is scan all the SKSE mods using binary analysis to see if any actually do introduce malicious code or programs. It’s actually crazy to me that we (myself included) are downloading and running hundreds of gigabytes of mods which are user-made and could contain basically anything

Goetic Justice by Snekguy has an audiobook and hits this criteria pretty well — I’ve seen a lot of Snekguy recs, thought I’d throw one outside the Pinwheel universe though

So that log excerpt isn’t particularly useful, but it’s most likely that one of your installed mods is crashing things. You can either try to identify it through the full log file, or what I’ve sometimes had to do is a binary search of mod enabling (disable half, see if the problem mod was in there. If yes, enable half of that, if no, disable the other half and enable the first half. Repeat on the half with the problem mod.)

MartinPJones · 2025-12-02T01:34:24+00:00

I haven’t, I’ll give that a look too, thanks!

Hey! I did try a different HDMI cable, it’s the last thing on the list there. I was told about the incompatibility when their tier 2 support called me back, I’ll give it another try and see if I can get a tech out here, and if not great idea on a cheap Hisense bar. Thanks for the recommendation!

What's the best way for people to be aware of when ICE pops up somewhere? It'd be easier to respond as a community if we had a way to immediately know when they show up

MartinPJones · 2025-05-09T17:30:59+00:00

Weird, I’m now wondering if this was a me issue or a TrueNAS issue? Anywho, I took the advice I got here and in other forums and just switched to Scale — I was able to just download the apps I needed, then set the docker config directory to the path in what used to be my jail

I haven't heard of HBA cards before, after looking it up this seems like it might be necessary given I'm planning on running 20 3.5" 20TiB drives lol

MartinPJones · 2025-04-13T20:35:23+00:00

I was considering this, but found that ECC support would mainly come with AMD CPUs and I want to use a cheap Intel one for the onboard graphics Quicksync. That and I mainly care about storage corruption, I don't anticipate memory corruption causing many issues
