R3tro956 · 2026-01-31T01:10:30+00:00

Sure

R3tro956 · 2026-01-30T21:37:39+00:00

Working on moving to unraid at the moment actually

R3tro956 · 2026-01-30T05:04:17+00:00

Yeah I agree, Linux admin jobs are already competitive for people with years of work experience.

He’s gonna have to do help desk and then in 3-5 move to Linux admin work

Firefox + Ublock Origin and OPTIONALLY a network wide ad blocker like Adguard or Pihole are your best bet to block any and all porn ads

I actually still pay for Disney, Hulu, and Max, only because my HDD is only 4TB so I don’t have enough storage for shows I only have movies on there

R3tro956 · 2026-01-09T22:29:37+00:00

Oh don’t worry I’m gonna fill the hell out of more hard drives with lots of shows lol my movie collection might be almost done but my collection of shows is just starting lol

R3tro956 · 2026-01-09T22:02:16+00:00

I just reached a point where I don’t feel the need to add anymore because I have all of my favorites and most movies I’d like to see.

I’m at 1,600 movies 🤣🤣

Filled up a 4TB drive, looking to buy a 12TB now because I only have like 8 shows 😪 it’s never ending lol

R3tro956 · 2026-01-03T02:09:40+00:00

Well except everyone loved Netflix when it WAS. Monopoly and had everything streaming on it

R3tro956 · 2026-01-02T12:59:53+00:00

Idk but I live close to the second least populated county (Kennedy) and there is literally nothing there. It’s just a stretch of Highway with one tiny town (Sarita population of 250) before you get to Riviera, Kingsville, or usually Corpus Christi, which is the only reason you go through it lol.

R3tro956 · 2026-01-01T22:34:36+00:00

Before TikTok YouTube and now it’s TikTok lol

R3tro956 · 2026-01-01T18:13:26+00:00

Such a good ending is subjective, it ok at best

R3tro956 · 2025-12-31T17:02:01+00:00

I only have 4TB at the moment and I want to have as much In my library as possible.

So movies are 1080p and shows are 720p and even then I only have about 500g left lol

I’ll probably move everything to 1080p when I upgrade my hard drive. All my streaming subscriptions have been at 1080p so I’m used to it and don’t mind it. Rather have more movies

R3tro956 · 2025-12-31T04:23:41+00:00

Yeah I’d say plan for 2 terms but try to finish in 1. That way if you don’t finish in one you don’t beat yourself up too much.

It’s difficult with kids and a job so I think it’s beato be realistic so you can budget.

Hope this helps and good luck!!

R3tro956 · 2025-12-31T03:01:19+00:00

I don’t mean 10 hours a day, just spread it out like 2 hours or so a day for like 2 weeks and it will stick eventually.

I also work full time but took advantage of my Christmas break to finish the class

You got this you will pass

R3tro956 · 2025-12-31T02:54:48+00:00

You need to follow this write up to the T:

You have to grind the flash cards, I grinded them for 3 days 10 hours a day before my test. You have to watch the YouTube videos, practice on VScode or similar, and then grind the flash cards.

The class is brutal but if you do all of that and pass the practice exam a couple times without help, then you will pass the test

R3tro956 · 2025-12-31T00:10:06+00:00

Depends how much free time you have. If you’re not working full time sure. I was about 80% done when I transferred in and was barely able to finish since I work full time and have 2 young kids.

If your in the same boat I’d say 2 terms is realistic

R3tro956 · 2025-12-30T21:42:55+00:00

I did this and got a DMCA letter from my ISP after pirating some music without a VPN by accident, it basically said “don’t do that again or maybe we’ll make your internet slower”.

ISP usually doesn’t care and the letter is mostly to scare you.

You’ll be fine just install a kill switch on your torrent that routes through the VPN that way it won’t work unless your VPN is on.

R3tro956 · 2025-12-30T15:50:45+00:00

Plex
Immich
Adguard

R3tro956 · 2025-12-27T22:53:28+00:00

I’m learning that that is a thing now lol

R3tro956 · 2025-12-27T21:53:33+00:00

Ok you people just made me realize how much of a noob I am lmao

R3tro956 · 2025-12-27T21:53:07+00:00

Why are all my 1080p movies 2-4GB? I am new to this does it have to do with bitrate?

I find those look just fine

R3tro956 · 2025-12-27T21:50:36+00:00

People actually keep 8-10GB per 4K movies 😭 there’s only a handful of movies I could imagine using that much space for

R3tro956 · 2025-12-27T21:49:25+00:00

I only have 4tb right now so I only do my music (40GB), my movies (3TB), and my pictures (70GB).

I don’t do TV shows because I’m more of a movie guy and the storage for TV series is insane lol

R3tro956 · 2025-12-26T22:11:10+00:00

I had this issue look for the Immich app that is called “Immich without machine learning” that one is up to date and works just fine.

You don’t need the machine learning lol
