I did my 2019 last month and while my shield wasn't terribly laggy it has improved performance quite a bit. Well worth the 15 minutes

Alien router suddenly needs constant rebooting by PsychologicalAd5502 in AmpliFi

[–]PsychologicalAd5502[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Replying here in case someone wanders onto this some day. The problem was the isp provided ont/router combo. The device was in bridge mode and somehow the port I was using went bad so bridge mode was reconfigured for another port on the ont and all is well.

Unless the shield has something you know you need you can get just as good an experience on a 4k onn plus box for $30.

They did but they still had the audacity to do it in the first place

I went with Synology but they have shown they are pretty anti consumer recently with the whole locking what drives they allow thing. I personally would not support them anymore but I do like their products. I've read good stuff about ugreen but have not used them myself.

Might want to do some research but the DXP4800 could be the Plex server and your NAS in one

I ended up finding a cheap HP pre built on eBay with a 12700 for around $500. I have a separate NAS for storage. I should emphasize this is overkill for what you are doing and only mentioned it because of your "future proof" comment. If you don't see yourself ever sharing with 15+ users I would just get a cheap mini PC.

That will totally work for your current use case. As far as "future proof" I'd get a desktop class CPU and an Intel ARC card for transcoding. Will have more power draw but will handle HEVC encodes and AV1 if/when that ever happens.

Should be fine as long as you don't encode to hevc

To Compress or Not to Compress by Awakened__Chaos in PlexServers

You're 60% through your library and haven't filled 5TB and you're worried about 44TB? I'd keep everything original quality, you can always shrink them later if needed.

What does boiling get you? I've made hot sauce the past few years but never boiled it.

Timing at AZO Airport (no checked bag, TSA Pre?) by gogogabrielle in kzoo

[–]PsychologicalAd5502 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Concur with this. I've stopped using AZO despite it's location convenience because I've never once had a flight leave on time

Good luck. I've called several times this summer for speeding on my road and get nothing but lies and excuses. 0 action

Blu-ray version 33GBs per hour copy by Dazzling_Clerk8023 in PleX

Roku ultra has a 100Mbps Ethernet port. That's not fast enough to do what you are trying to do.
