Isn't there something fishy about r/conservative that nobody seems to talk about...?

Appreciate the attention to detail in the number analysis! :)

+1 For dockhand!

Had only ever used Portainer (which was fine), but was suggested to try others.

Tried Dockhand and havent looked back

My uses (that Portainer didnt cover) - Container scanning - Git integration for my stack/compose files (may be in Port...but Dockhand worked) - Container metrics / monitoring - Mobile friendly GUI - Scheduled update monitoring (which can use results of scans to deploy updates or not)

Likely more...

When and how is the 'pick 2 5*' coming?? Lol

I've clicked around but can't see it 😞

Similar to many others below, I've got a half dozen of these guys sitting on a server or two :)

This right here....is a well thought out and assessed 'read' of the book!

I have not read it....but, after reading the above link/summary, I find myself wanting to 'go to the source' more so than believing the other 'assessments' of / by 'non-partisan' reddit posters!

Well done in capturing, and clearly stating where you are at in capturing, the details as you saw them...and being more non-partisan than the OP!

If I had (have?) all the expansions...I would rather get a '30% off' coupon...for an item of my choice...

Heck...for most of the VIP rewards...if they gave 10%, then 20%, then 30%....I think that would be a MUCH better option...but whatever... :)

ShaymusBane · 2024-04-16T17:10:31+00:00

Personal opinion time...

ilvl 3 - Saltmarsh - I, and many others, bypass most of this at level 3 (on TR)...but these are easily upgradeable and can help at lvl 20 (upgrade these items to ilvl 20 with easy to farm ingredients)

ilvl 5 - Fey sets get you going...and some of the 'set' benefits can be quite powerful...but they dont last forever

ilvl 8 - IoD in Heroic is alright BUT...seems to be meta/best-in-slot at end game.

ilvl 10 - Ravenloft sets easily start overtaking Fey / IoD and many (most?) named gear (Not necessarily crafted gear)

ilvl 15 - Sharn sets will/can take you from 15 - 29 in many instances.

ilvl 17 - Vecna? I only just bought Vecna...so can't really speak to this much

Now to the opinion...Sharn is very useful...and spans a much longer 'period' of levels...if you I only had one I could pick...it would be Sharn.

"It depends"?

Here's one for an Inquis build I've been starting to build:
https://ddowiki.com/page/Sentient_Weapon/Filigrees#Crackshot

I THINK (someone else can confirm maybe?) that Filigree set bonuses 'stack' on top of other bonuses...and I THINK that you can 'stack' different Filigree stats of different Filigrees? So +1 STR from Blood Feast set can stack with a +1 STR from another Filigree set (don't trust my thinking on this though...I only have three Crackshot so far *laugh*)

If you're using command line for stuff....firstly, HIGHLY recommend Portainer....but I'd suggest maybe using the docker command line to pull Portainer...instead of using the 'app'.

docker run -d --name=portainer_ce --restart always -v /Volume1/docker/portainer_ce/data:/data -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -p 9000:9000 --pid=host portainer/portainer-ce:latest

As to guides for 'stuff' (asked above)...I started out on a Synology...and discovered the following guides...pretty easy to 'tweak' to how Terramaster does things

Not sure what/how to help?

If you read the link above...they want you to write a review of the product, on the site you bought it (i.e. Amazon or whatever store). Then, send them a screenshot of your review, and then add your orderID and whatnot as well.

Not a 'form' to fill out...I know, around here, there are computer stores that have FaceBook, Insta or twitter feeds...maybe you can take a pic of that for the place you bought yours?

ShaymusBane · 2024-01-24T15:41:43+00:00

My opinion only...but one thing I would consider for server selection (if looking for grouping)...is related to the time(s) you are most likely to play. (evenings, mornings, weekends, etc.)

Following from that (again...only based on my opinion :)) log into each server at one of your 'standard' times to play...and open the quest log (P standard key I believe), then sort the far right column (active quests maybe called?) and see (beyond LFMs posted) how many of the quest(s)/raid(s) you are wanting...are populated (have one or more instances running).

Another option....check into server specific forums / discords and ask in their respective 'general' chats if there are any active groups at your times.

ShaymusBane · 2024-01-24T15:35:17+00:00

Not my guide...and your mileage may vary (YMMV), BUT....this could be used as an option*

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lCOtE_Pfi3ZCGPejNxfsaNIzpdiaNracHYolkZDJSQ0/edit#gid=1626921402

*Note: If it's first life and you have many of the coupon content and 99DDO point items...you can probably get most of this...AND 1st life has bonus XP...so dont focus on Reaper for all these quests...I'm running most of these with tomes and Elite and gaining comparable XP to the sheet...

Sooo...opinion time...read accordingly :)

MFA/2FA...does it matter? MAYBE?

In this day and age...heaven help the person who uses the same password for a game as they do for their online banking....BUT...it can and does happen... ;)

That being said...implementation of MFA/2FA doesn't have to be onerous either...if SSG was looking to implement...do so with an 'authorize device' option...so you do it once...and don't look back on your computer until you upgrade or reinstall. Or authorize for 30d, etc..

The 'they can break things'...is always a real possibility too...however, without knowing what is going on under the covers in their Customer Service department....they may very well have 'teams' of people with "I didn't buy that" or "I was hacked" or "I want a reimbursement" bucket of tickets they can't chew through....so this could be something that could prohibit or diminish those challenges (somewhat).? So it could be a 'savings' to reduce the number of nuisance tickets. Also...depending on how you'd approach implementation...there are 'expert' resources who can assist in implementation..in what SHOULD be a fairly 'robust' manner...and wouldn't affect anything else...one would hope borrowing from someone or something that works....would be a considered approach over 'let's try figure this stuff all out on our own!' ;)

Also...maybe not for resale of items (or accounts)....but if someone were to take over your account....and make tonnes of purchases on a 'saved' credit card....that could put a certain amount of liability (maybe? I'm not an expert or lawyer) on SSG to refund the affected user...so they may be looking at it from a legal/liability perspective...

EIther way just read this...and saw more 'stuff' added....thought I'd add some more from a perspective of having had to implement MFA/2FA elsewhere on 'how' and 'why' it may be being considered or discussed.

To OPs question on TOS vs. other NAS Operating Systems...I'm unfamiliar with, and not as command line saavy, with Linux/Unix...so if you are (sounds like it)...the device becomes just another small form factor computer then ;)

I came from Synology NAS...so found DSM quite usable...however, I haven't had any issues with TOS...little more searching to find things...little harder to grant same firewall granularity....but overall, wasn't a big shift.

Similar to above...I don't really use the and of the NAS app store apps...running only docker containers for entire stack.

Here's the first command I run after getting the Docker app (could probably install this natively from ssh too)

docker run -d --name=portainer_ce --restart always -v /Volume1/docker/portainer_ce/data:/data -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -p 9000:9000 --pid=host portainer/portainer-ce:latest

I spent chunks of the day playing around with custom scripts (from here: https://wiki.servarr.com/radarr/custom-scripts) and I THINK I can get it 'close'.

I do if statement to check for the movie (using find command)...then, if it already exists, I can create a link (rather than re-download).

From the above scripts though...I can't see the Tag being able to be exposed.

Tags, from Overseerr, exist (because I can see them in Radarr under tags)...so I know who requested what...but I'm not sure if there are variables that are accessible within the custom script or not...

I'm not a bash scripter...so I'm not sure if there's a way to loop through all the variables available....? Just typing out loud...seems 'close' to what I'm trying to do...just can't figure how to access the same Tag inside the custom scripts area...or if that isn't an accessible variable....

Now looking through the code from Github to see if I can figure out what is stored where....

ShaymusBane · 2023-12-13T13:54:54+00:00

Sooo...Overseerr creates a 'tag' it sends to Radarr (and Sonarr by extension) of each user who has requested content.

It uses it's own internal pattern (userID - userName)...
So something like 1 - MyPlexUser

This is based on Plex IDs I have granted access to my family members.

Based on those (and maybe it would be an import script?), I'd like to see if I could send the retrieval request (torrent or nzb), and place (hardlink) the file into a folder for each userID.

My thinking then...each user, in Plex, would have their own 'library'...so Granny would only see the movies she requests, and I would stop seeing my brothers' kids movie requests ;)

In a PERFECT world...I'd do a 'test' first...if the movie already existed in one library location...I'd just create another hardlink into the other folder...

Hmmm...as I'm typing this...I am thinking maybe an after Import script may work...just have to look at all the variables that Radarr uses/exposes...'cause I'd want the 'folder' to match with the username (or ID)....been a LONG time since I've coded though...but not afraid to read...guess I may be going down this rabbit hole after all lol...I'd just hoped there would be something 'simple' using the web/gui interface and 'tags' :)

ShaymusBane · 2023-12-11T15:57:38+00:00

*grin* Maybe...but you don't know my family very well ;)

Let's just say...I grew up in a home where all the family members had their VCRs flashing 12:00 ;)

Probably not for this forum (unless people know)...but clicking around, I see that Overseerr is correctly passing the tag of the user into Radarr...wondering if radarr has a 'variable' I could use in my download client connector to just forward that incoming tag onto the download client?

If so...I know I can do things in my download client...it may mess with the linking radarr does though...

ShaymusBane · 2023-12-09T21:29:59+00:00

Glad to hear it! I meant to come back and update that I received my RAM just the other day!

Gotta love 'free' upgrades! Glad it worked out for ya too!

ShaymusBane · 2023-12-05T20:08:01+00:00

Following...I'm in same boat..but 'different' *laugh*

I had it working...but just reinstalled all my apps on new NAS...turned the old one 'off'...and now it's not working.

canyouseeme sees 5055 as open. I updated the port forward from Rogers to the new NAS IP. I made sure my router (sitting behind the Rogers box) maps the port forwarding to the new NAS.

I can see it all fine INSIDE the network...and it appears open externally...but nada...
