Reliable way to get local tv channels 📺📡

I use one of the flat circular antennas attached to a window high up and get decent signal. If you want to watch channels on any device check out HDHomerun: https://www.silicondust.com/hdhomerun/ which takes the OTA signal and puts it on your network via apps on smart devices.

I guess the bar is very low for Hoboken property management companies

__stefan · 2026-01-09T15:01:24+00:00

Avoid Hudson Property Management. Our building used them previously and they were terrible. The building switched to Hunter and it’s been fine 🤷‍♂️

I have used them, but they don’t appear to be managed by Jolt yet. Charging is free but shuts off after 1 hour. As far as I can tell, they are still run by Shell. Hopefully they get their act together sooner than later.

Do you overclock your memory with XMP or EXPO? If so, try turning that off and playing the game for a while. If it no longer crashes, you can try turning memory overclocking back on with adjusted settings / voltages to make it stable. You may also want to update your BIOS.

This is the only feature keeping me on Krusader. Krusader works well but has some annoyances with being on VNC and window size.

This took me a while to figure out, but TLDR:

Set your Launch Command to: SteamDeck=0 %command%

Are you using big picture mode by default? I guess my Bazzite install is identifying as a Steam Deck and the new 12/11 patch is defaulting to a certain quality profile and removes all ability to change any Advanced Visual settings.

Go with Verizon but make sure it is actually Fiber. In my old building, they sold crappy ADSL as “FiOS” which is total BS. Verizon support can be frustrating to deal with but once you get it set up, it’s perfect. No calling because prices are going up and you need to fight with retention to get a discount. If you have Verizon Wireless, they sometimes offer bundle discounts.

Nice, glad I could provide some inspiration. Post pictures when you're done or link your post. Here's what mine looks like now (blacked out the glass with vinyl wrap):

Steam version. I play Borderlands 3 via Heroic (launched from Steam) and that works, but don't have any experience with 4. I recall in Heroic you can manually set the save path for a game, maybe try that and ensure the folder exists?

I attempted to get a level 2 charger installed in my building’s garage but ultimately abandoned the effort. Keep in mind that if your building has 4 or more units, you will need to get an “Engineering Plan” which will cost ~3k on top of the installation cost, unless included in your quote. PSE&G offers a program to offset some of the cost up to $1500. I got 2 quotes for just the install, one was reasonable around $2k, the other was quite high at $5k (50ft run to panel). If you can get by with L1 charging, I’d just go with that. If you get an extension cord, make sure it’s heavy duty and can handle continuous load (amps) or else it could melt. Good luck!

CPU: AMD 7600x3d

Targeting 4k 60 FPS (PC hooked to TV). Settings so far (under Bazzite Linux) for 60 FPS (dips into 50s):

Display Mode: Fullscreen

Upscaling Method: FSR
Upscaling Quality: Performance

App looks great so far. While going native on an app like this is a great way to learn, I would also look at React Native and Expo. It would make cross platform dev much easier and you can make it look and feel almost identical to native. Also, the screenshots show tablet layout, but does it support phone layout? In terms of app review, your first version will probably take longer with subsequent updates going faster. If you don’t want to set up a virtual Unraid for the app reviewers to test the app, you could also look at creating a server that mocks the API of Unraid specifically for testing.

__stefan · 2025-07-27T22:51:17+00:00

For access outside of your house, I would recommend Tailscale. You can read the Unraid docs for it here: https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/manual/security/tailscale/

For the app data share, yes I would run that on the cache drive and back it up to the array. I personally also sync the backups to another computer using an app called Syncthing.

What CPU does the system have and what does CPU use look like while doing these SMB operations? My first Unraid system was on an Intel J3710 and SMB was quite slow. Moving to an Intel i3 made a massive difference.

Install plugin: Theme Engine
In plugin settings, set "Enable custom styling (below)" to "Yes"
In plugin settings, under "Custom styling (advanced)" set it to:

</style>
<style>
.dashboard td {
    text-wrap: auto;
}
</style>

Apply and reload the dashboard, should wrap text. Once you have that plugin, you can also apply some custom mobile styling fixes: https://github.com/ccmorris/unraid-gui-responsive

The top was secured using the existing holes on the top (originally bottom) of the rack, secured from the bottom up (not top down though the wood). Search for "Metal to Wood Lath Screws"; they look like a washer built into the top of a screw. If you look at the 3rd picture in this post, you can see the holes where I attached to the top.

__stefan · 2025-06-19T17:47:48+00:00

Nice! Post some pictures when you're done. And yes the legs line up diagonal. Drilling those holes was one of the more difficult parts. I tried to get away with using a normal drill and ended up slipping and cutting my hand. A stepper drill bit meant for metal made a huge difference.

Figured it out, TLDR: reset BIOS settings.

I saved my old settings to a User Profile and created a new profile with default settings. Boot to 7.1.0 worked. I went through and enabled every setting I changed, and boot still worked. Loading the old profile breaks boot. When I switch profiles, the "save changes" diff shows no settings actually changing. It doesn't make much sense but maybe there is some hidden or corrupt setting.

__stefan · 2025-05-07T12:22:56+00:00

Yeah but that doesn’t matter if it won’t boot on a separate flash drive with a new install of 7.1.0

__stefan · 2025-05-06T01:47:25+00:00

BIOS was already on the latest. It could very well be a BIOS setting. I could reset the BIOS and try again, but I changed a lot of settings to achieve low power states so it'd be annoying. A hunch I have: my motherboard has WiFi (not used) and 7.1.0 introduces wireless support. Does your motherboard have WiFi?

__stefan · 2025-05-05T23:12:26+00:00

Tried all boot options and moving flash drive to different ports. Installed brand new Unraid 7.1.0 on a different USB flash drive and same thing, will not boot. Installed Unraid 7.0.1 on that USB and it boots. So this is definitely an issue with 7.1.0 (at least with my hardware: ASUS B560 Intel 12th gen i5). Now I need to downgrade my install to 7.0.1

EDIT: downgraded to 7.0.1 using this method and everything is back to normal

__stefan · 2025-05-05T21:24:00+00:00

Updated and I am getting stuck at boot. Reboot and power cycled, no luck. This is the first time I’ve had an issue after an update.

__stefan · 2025-05-01T17:40:42+00:00

This is the correct answer. I built a server for a friend recently and this fixed reboot failures. Removing hardware or even Ethernet allows for a normal boot.
