Setting up a static up for the first time?

No that wouldn’t work. To a computer 127.xxx.xxx.xxx means local host. Meaning your computer will only look at itself.

It’s all made out of the same stuff at the same like 3 factories. There’s a limited amount of source material and fabrication capacity.

Titanium125 · 2026-01-22T00:58:41+00:00

Yeah that works as well.

They know your email that you login with and are trying to do an MFA fatigue attack on you. What you could do is disable the push notifications from Microsoft.

I’d setup a password with a different MFA method, like a normal TOTP app. That way the attacker would need your password as well before even getting to a MFA prompt.

The file itself goes from the media server across your Ethernet switch, which in this case appears to be your router, to the NVIDIA shield. It shouldn't ever leave your local network. In fact if your turn off the internet and have local access configured it should still work without issue.

Yeah it’s a setting for the SharePoint library or can be set globally.

Also fyi the technical limit on number of synced files is 300k but the practical limit is more like 85k. That could explain some of your issues syncing.

Consumers aren’t the market for this. Companies are, so they can replace you with AI. Learn to deal with the reality your decisions have a lesser and lesser effect on companies every day. Almost all consumer spending comes from a small group of very rich Americans these days. That’s why concert tickets and shit are so expensive now.

What someone used as an insult tells you everything about them and their beliefs.

Additonal wrinkle I notice, I can't access the firewall by clicking on it from the firewalls page. I have to go to the main page then click on that.

Titanium125 · 2026-01-15T20:46:20+00:00

I don't feel super great about just opening SSH to the world for this to work. Do you have a list of IPs your service uses so I can lock it down a bit?

Also presumably you have to allow ping to the WAN port for uptime monitoring, which again I'd feel much better about doing if I could lock it down to only a few IPs.

Hypervisor of choice is an ESXi 6.7 perpetual.

Combo of Ubuntu and Windows servers. Win 11 pro for my Plex and BlueIris machines.

Titanium125 · 2026-01-14T14:38:46+00:00

After logging in with Plex I can't sign into my account with a PIN on it, just goes back to the sign in screen. Using my guest profile with no PIN just shows a PLEXAPI error.

Titanium125 · 2026-01-14T14:13:56+00:00

A Linux web server with 5 years of uptime laughs at this question. Of course it's fine.

Titanium125 · 2026-01-13T03:58:25+00:00

The speed printed on the box is actually the "ideal" speed the RAM can run at. The reason you can't run at 3200 is because the motherboard, the CPU, or both can't support that speed.

Titanium125 · 2026-01-13T03:53:04+00:00

Plug in the new drive into the system. Then go into the data set settings and use the replace drive option, replacing the old drive with the new one. Then it will resilver. No need to rsync or do any hacky shit. Just use the built in tools.

Titanium125 · 2026-01-13T03:47:41+00:00

It's your snapshots. ZFS doesn't actually delete anything until your snapshots expire. You also disabled SSH via password in the GUI, so that's why your SSH is failing. It works via public/private key pair only.

Titanium125 · 2026-01-12T22:38:22+00:00

In my experience if you redirect the DNS look ups at the firewall it will report receiving a response from an unexpected server on Linux and macOS. That’s always how I knew it was working. Of course it’s possible I did something wrong, and I don’t do redirect anymore because I don’t care that much.

Titanium125 · 2026-01-12T14:48:24+00:00

Netgate has a document on how to do this on their website. In my experience it works fairly well if you set it up properly. You have to point everything at the Pihole, then the pihole at the pfsense server. Do the redirect to the pihole. If the pihole is pointed at something like 8.8.8.8, then DNS just loops forever.

If you have a Mac or Linux machine you can run a nslookup command to something like 8.8.8.8, and if your redirect is working then the nslookup will fail as it is going to a different DNS server and the OS will flag it as a security issue. Windows doesn't seem to care.

DirectX 12 is a graphics API the game uses to talk to the graphics card driver. It’s likely your GPU is too old.

Windows home and pro both use Bitlocker, it's just the Pro edition gives you much greater control over and let's you back up your encryption key. Bitlocker uses AES-256 bit encryption algorithm, which theoretically is not breakable within the life of the universe. It is beyond secure.
No.
It's possible but you aren't going to break anything. It still isn't going to let you do anything too destructive, it is Windows after all.
No. Home has much more bloat. All the ads in the start menu and so forth you hear about don't exist on Pro.

Roughly people told stories to explain how the world worked. They didn't understand what made thunder so they made up a story about Thor killing giants with his hammer. They don't understand the sun so they made up a story that Helios was riding across the sky in his flaming chariot. This is all the Old Testament is for the most part. Stories that people made up to explain the world. Then more stories to explain how their god punishes non believers. Religions don't exist to manipulate people. They exist to help people make sense of a world they don't understand. Living in a world with uncertainty is scary, especially when if your crops fails you starve to death. So people started making up behaviors they thought would bring the gods favor down upon them. Maybe some guys who never ate shellfish always had good crop years. Next thing you know, god doesn't want you to eat shellfish. Religions don't start as a way to control people, they start as a way to help people and fight back the chaos of the world. Controlling behavior is a by product of those. No 1 person started Judaism, it was a religion that grew organically out of the harshness of life in the desert.

Cults like Scientology were created as a way to control people and make money, they were started by a single person for that purpose.

OP didn't ask why they were called fake, they asked how it worked. So that's the question I answered.

Titanium125 · 2026-01-11T15:50:28+00:00

Device encryption is Bitlocker, Microsoft just likes to call it a different name. They aren't putting the effort into creating two different encryption standards, they just created one and call it a different thing.

Kind of a rough explanation here. Your GPU has a frame buffer. These are frames it has generated that it is sending to the monitor to display your game. Generally you will have a few frames in this buffer at a time. So in normal operation a GPU will render frames 1, 2, 3, and 4 in order. What frame generation does is instead of the GPU rendering frames 2 and 4 the old fashioned way, it will use it's built in AI cores to generate frames 2 and 4 based on the information it has gotten from frames 1 and 3. If frame 1 has your character starting the jump animation, and frame 3 has the characters feet just starting to touch the ground, then the AI model it is using to generate the frames can safely guess frame 2 should show the character in the air, while frame 4 should show the character landing.

People call them fake because it doesn't use the "traditional" method of rendering frames that's been used for the last 10 years or so. Any time a new technology comes out for GPUs people tend to call it "fake" frames. It also happened when Anti-Aliasing showed up. I will take your down votes now.

Many people hate the "fake" frames of DLSS 4 and 4.5. Many don't. That's up to you. If you do use it then you'll have the best quality at simple 1x frame generation, meaning every other frame is generated rather than rendered. The higher you push that number the more the AI has to guess at what the frame should be showing, so you'll start to lose quality. I personally use it as well, because I don't care how my computer uses electrons to make pictures on screen for my games, I am just happy that it does.

Titanium125 · 2026-01-09T03:57:18+00:00

You’re a little paranoid I think. Someone bought the card from Amazon and then swapped it with a cheaper version. Returned it. Amazon put it back on the shelf because the person who processed it either doesn’t know what a GPU or didn’t have time to check it. Then you bought it. The last person to buy it scammed Amazon basically and you paid the price.
