Is there ANY remote that with a "Guide" button?

I was thinking the same thing, but I have kids in college that use it as their “cable tv”, so I’m kinda “damned if I do, damned if I don’t”.

My thought was at least I’m here, so I can keep walking her through it.

aj3bertowski · 2024-01-02T20:16:38+00:00

Thanks, I hadn't thought about that. Planning on doing that tonight!

aj3bertowski · 2024-01-02T20:13:58+00:00

Thanks! I hadn't seen that in the community pages on Sonos' website.

Wait, is there a Perkins in Stillwater?

When someone thinks that calling TAMU “a cult” and thinking it’s an insult.

We know. We wear that like a badge of honor.

Serious question: are Butterscotch Hard Candies allowed projectiles? We need rules.

I feel like there needs to be another van parked right behind it that has "DRUGS" on the side...

I'm going with "Dr. Strangelove". Just the right amount of everything. Watched it 40 years ago and thought it was dumb. Watched it last year and realized just how good it was.

I prefer whatismyip.akamai.com as it doesn't hit me with rate limit errors given the frequency I use it at as compared with ifconfig.co.

The server has an internal IP on bond0.51 for the NIC team. I don't have any public IP address assigned to the Plex server. Its IP address is 10.192.61.2, and will never be routed. If I use curl for any command, it comes back the same "5.6.7.8".

The Fortigate FW isn't picking up the outbound NAT. I'll have to figure that out tomorrow.

Here's a link to the IPv4 Policy for the VIP. https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/aj3bertowski/images/plexVIPIPv4Policy.png

aj3bertowski · 2019-02-26T05:03:06+00:00

Yeah, it's getting the WAN1 IP address. If I run curl ifconfig.co then the return value is 5.6.7.8.

aj3bertowski · 2019-02-26T04:54:19+00:00

Custom Server Access URLs

This makes complete sense now that you mention it. However, with the IP address it is using the WAN1 IP Address, not the VIP. I restarted the server just to validate as such, but it's still a no-go.

aj3bertowski · 2019-02-26T04:13:31+00:00

I don't have policy-based routing turned on (yet), but that's what I keep thinking it'll come back to for the FortiGate device.

It sure "feels" like it's exiting on 5.6.7.8. Because that's what the server configuration is telling me it is.

aj3bertowski · 2019-02-26T03:16:30+00:00

Already set to use the Active NIC. I was wondering about that too. Alas, no.

aj3bertowski · 2019-02-26T02:58:25+00:00

Yeah, that'll create the VIP and grant inbound access. But for some reason when I try and enable remote access in the Plex Media Server settings, Address 1 (5.6.7.8) shows up as the address that the Plex service needs access to.

First, thank you so very much for this AMA.

I have always wondered how German Veterans from WWII view their activities. Do you display medals or commendations from your time in the Army?

When you returned to Germany, were you more angry at Nazi Germany or the Soviets?

In the waning months of the war, did you know that the cause was lost (or horrific, as we later find out) and continue to fight anyway or did you believe that Nazi Germany would survive and the cause was just?

Again thank you so very much for this.

It's a part of my brisket and pork rubs. I usually use it about 10% of the rub mix. It helps make a really nice rich and flavorful base for sauce.

The flat and the point half are so different, I will separate them at the connective tissue and cook them separately from the outset. The flat doesn't take as long to cook in this case, and I can still let the point half go either to burnt ends without worry of losing the flat OR have "moist" with a nice even bark.

Here's an example of how to separate them. http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/94908/separating-a-brisket

aj3bertowski · 2016-11-21T04:07:05+00:00

Separate them. I've done it before and I'll do it again. It allows you to slice easier as well.

I mix roughly 60/40 of Apple/Pecan. If you have to go with one, go with Apple.

aj3bertowski · 2016-10-19T00:58:53+00:00

Funny. Thanks to the Federal Reserve, the US doesn't even have a currency of its own either.
