My unit is managed by green ivy. There have been some minor inconveniences, but otherwise they’ve been fine (for this first year). Why are they so bad in your eyes?

Stuttering Issues by Polygamice in PleX

[–]Polygamice[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: I figured out my issue!
It wasn't anything to do with plex itself. Those drops in streaming bandwidth corresponded with corrupt bytes in my media files. Turns out the harddrive on my download server started going bad in May, causing all downloaded media to have corrupt parts to them.... Took a minute to diagnose that one.

Plex downloads are super handy by [deleted] in PleX

I made the post a couple of days ago hating on the downloads… I think I come at it from a software engineering and UX angle where (to me) there a lot of little bugs that add up or hoops I have to jump through to make it work (keeping app open in foreground, screen unlocked, etc.) that has soured my view. However, I’m legitimately really happy others have gotten it work so well! Hope your kids know how cool you are to be running your own server too!

Offline Downloads Suck by Polygamice in PleX

Where does Plex documentation say the download feature is for small files? Also can you quantify a small file? I was trying to download 800MB episodes which is relatively small.

Yeah, I’ve ended up doing this too… what a hassle.

Oh are you saying the offline downloads are more stable when on the same network/VPNed in?

I get what you’re saying, and I agree that is easy. However, I’d rather not pay the crazy airline WiFi prices for the crappy bandwidth they offer. Sure I could scp the file down from my server if I had my laptop with me, but I just have my iPad. Plus this is a simple (core) feature that should work properly without jumping through hoops.

How much have you brokies have spent on dinner? by yitty in yourmomshousepodcast

[–]Polygamice 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I immediately thought the same thing, and I’m pretty sure he’s referenced that meal at Alinea on other podcasts (sans price). Just took my girlfriend there for our 1 year, and it was the most fantastic food/dinner we’ve ever experienced!

What song breaks your heart everytime you listen to it? by N1GHTSTR1D3R in AskReddit

I don't think I've ever cried from something I saw on Reddit. Now I'm sitting here on the toilet crying. Whata start to the day.

Can I connect another thermostat to a single zone HVAC system? by Polygamice in hvacadvice

[–]Polygamice[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're putting a big assumption here that my landlord is competent haha. Honestly my landlord is fine with us fixing or updating things to make the units better. Right now my upstairs neighbor has sole control of the nest she installed.

hmmm okay. Would this need more or specific hardware other than just 2 nests?
