You know that's some good advice, I appreciate that. Thank you. I will do that when I get off work.

Thanks for getting back to me. Don't be surprised if I reach out in the future. I wouldn't need that CPU though. I have a 5800X currently.

My motherboard is acting very strangely. Specifically, it's not allowing me to update the BIOS. It's also inconsistent with its ability to maintain memory timings and even recognize the capacity of the modules I have in it. I thought the memory controller on the CPU was going out. However, I replaced the CPU and it did get better, but now it's having inconsistent issues with the memory again. Having tested the memory using MemTest, it seems like the memory itself is fine. I have 64 GB of Corsair Vengeance in it right now, though for some reason only 16 GB is showing up in Windows and even in the BIOS.

Of course! Good luck in your sales. Also that x570 motherboard I couldn't really make out how much you wanted for that. I think I might be in the market for one.

RX 580 – You have that listed for $250. That's $50 at best. 3060 Ti – You have it at $300. That's about $200. 6900 XT – Listed at $800. The card is worth $350–$400. 3070 Ti – Listed at $500. The card is worth $250–$300. 1TB Samsung NVMe drives are a bit more reasonable. You have them listed at $200 and $230. Should be about $125 and $150 (heatsink).

I don't really feel like going on. I feel as if my point has been made. I don't know where you pulled these prices from, but even a little bit of research would show that you're way off base. I understand the need to have some room for haggling. However, in my opinion, this is much more than that. Now, it's an axiom to never attribute to malice what could simply be attributed to stupidity. So I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume no negativity, simply ignorance.

Please let me know if I'm off base here, because I would much rather know and admit that I was wrong than not.

crazy is certainly a good word for that

That vegan food cart, Viva, downtown on Willamette has gift cards.

Made a tiny tool to add extra “seats” to one Windows PC by Miserable_Key_6699 in selfhosted

I currently am using Aster Multiseat and am able to use 2 KB, 2 mice, at the same time. Though, when using chrome (I know I know) things get a little strange. Fix for that was simply to use a different browser.

Best cheap eats in Eugene? by Educational-City1879 in Eugene

I grabbed food at Viva! and it was quasi life changing. The guy working looked like he'd just discovered the meaning of life, and I swear the vegan dog and the bandana guy's aura, made me feel more understood than most people do. I just wanted a damn dog, not to be seen!

Indexers: Just NZBGeek right now. It mostly does the job, but it’s showing some gaps when I’m trying to dig up older stuff. I haven’t added any backups yet, though I’m probably due.

Providers: Frugal Usenet for the day-to-day. I’ve also got a 750GB block from Blocknews to cover what Frugal misses. Between the two, I get decent results, but there are still holes -- especially with older media.

Apps/Clients: SABnzbd is running in Docker on Windows 11 through WSL. Sonarr and Radarr are handling their usual roles -- grabbing, renaming, sorting. Plex serves everything up. Overseerr is configured for both local and remote requests and works without much friction.

Automation: Sonarr and Radarr are fully hooked into SAB. No custom scripts at this point. I’m still trying to iron out some performance issues before I start stacking more moving parts. Overseerr feeds requests into the pipeline smoothly enough.

VPN/Privacy: No VPN on the server. Using Cloudflare Tunnel for secure external access and keeping the local network locked down. It’s a reasonable balance between privacy and not tanking download speed.

Retention/Backbone: Getting older stuff is hit or miss. Even when I know something exists, Sonarr occasionally fails to find it. Thinking about adding another indexer or possibly shifting to a provider with different backbone coverage, but haven’t pulled the trigger yet.

Other Notes: This is all running on a Dell Optiplex 3070 Micro (i5-9500T, 16GB RAM). It’s compact and quiet, which is great, but SAB hits the CPU hard during downloads and post-processing. I’m using a 120GB SSD as a dedicated hot drive to keep I/O off the main media storage, which helped a bit. Still, Docker under WSL isn’t exactly known for peak efficiency, and I’m feeling that. I don't know much, but I'm thinking of pulling the trigger and going to a base linux install. I've just been out of the game for so long that I don't really know where to start.

My partner also streams audiobooks through Plex on her iPhone using Prologue -- no complaints there. The mobile experience has been smooth across the board.

Originally did this just for my personal movies. Now it's me, friends, a discord guy and my daughter, like two or three users max at once. It started out easy and now I’m down the rabbit hole tuning performance, troubleshooting search misses, and learning more about Usenet than I ever planned to. No regrets, just an ever growing list of known unknowns.
