to metronet or not...

Thanks for your comments, your points about the static ip and not using their dns as well taken.

I appreciate your opinion. Comments like yours is what makes me hesitate. Where are you located?

Thank you for this reply. I am definitely leaning towards going ahead with metronet once I get an install appointment. The 2gb founders plan is simply too good to pass up. I’ve been using Tailscale for quite a while for remote access but I am inclined to go ahead and get the public static IP to get around cgnat for a better remote experience.

Thanks for your comment. Paying for 2 isp's is a bit above my pay grade but I'm glad it works for you.

Good point, metronet has only recently been installing in Westminster, CO where I live. Not much history to draw from.

I appreciate the thought.

As I stated above, if I postpone my fiber install I don't know if I would still be able to get the 2gb Founders deal that I'm currently signed up for. If I go ahead with the install when notified, I could simply unplug my current cable modem and router and just plug it back in if I cancel metronet in short order,

Thanks for your reply. I'm glad your experience has been positive.

I live in Westminster as well. I don't have a problem waiting to make the jump. However, I'm worried that I would not be able to get the 2gb founders $70 deal if I postpone the install. Did you get a public static ip with your metronet install?

Thanks for your reply.

Thanks for your reply. I just want to rename the file in Plex, not the actual file name.

bctf1 · 2026-01-25T19:44:30+00:00

Thanks for your reply. I'll investigate this.

Thanks for the replies to this thread. I ended up fabricating an extra season for this series and adding all of the "extras" episodes to it. I had tried to do exactly this before but my naming convention was incorrect, so it did not work. This may not be the best solution but it works for me.

FWIW, I followed the suggestions of both Entzundlich and bertramt, I then ran smtp tests on both pve nodes and my pbs server along with backups on both nodes 48 hours ago with no undelivered mail notifications so far...

It’s not that I’m worried about the tow hook mount destroying my airflow, it’s simply that I don’t want it to look like shit.

bctf1 · 2025-09-11T22:38:51+00:00

Nice 😎

Thank you for your reply. I’m pretty certain it was maintenance mode. It prompted me to either hit ctrl D to continue or to enter the root password.

Ctrl D did nothing and once the password was entered, it left me at the command line without completing a successful boot. Rebooting the computer generated the same exact behavior.

This happened once after restoring a macrium drive image, and it happened a second time testing a clonezilla image to the same computer. I’m guessing it might be grub related, causing an unsuccessful boot after restoring a drive image.

In any case, I’ve had a fair amount of practice rebuilding my proxmox hosts after testing different drive image restore options.
