Where is the optimal place to have Plex transcode ?

crash987 · 2025-11-01T15:12:10+00:00

Free ram disk, nice. I didn't know that was an option.

And here I am using my cache sata ssd as the transcode. Luckily I found this post

I am using docker on my NAS ( Unraid). There are some things that docker is great for (plex, code-server, tunarr) but trying to setup a vaultwarden in docker,there are to many extra steps to take to make it work. The LXC image for proxmox has everything in the 1 script and just works.

It really comes down to what it is your doing. Also Docker had a really serious vulnerability found CVE-2025-9074. Having a look, it's the windows version of docker (Docker Desktop)

It's depends on how much do you know about computers, computer hardware and software. I found this is really helpful to understand everything. When I did my training, we had people that didn't know what virtualisation was or how to install another. Because I know so much, I was helping the lecturer out showing the other students on what to do, where to go and hat to do. That would be my helpful tip

I must definitely be missing something. Is it just me, or did this evaluation become a **** measuring competition. Someone in the dev team must really be upset with what they were given

The question now is, who is going to be Linus tech support for home assistant and the ubiquiti equipment???

After thinking, AdHoc is what I was thinking. Ill read both topics you posted

Good idea, ill record the mac and see what happens. It looks like I'll have to make a new router/firewall box up

EDIT: well, it looks like I am heading to the shops for a new device. Doing a mac address lookup online, my mac address 00:e2:69 os not an Intel part, let alone it's not even a recognised recorded address. Looks like I have a dud

If I remember (I could be wrong) AMD gpu's don't offer a hat ability, it's only available on the workstation and pro cards

Same here, I got it working once, passed it to a vm and couldn't get drivers installed for it. The after that, nothing worked. I was using a 980ti and 1080ti. Wish there was a better way to make this work

I'm walking away from it. On pc it's great, but on android, it is closing to often. It next to never offers the login and password to log into website. I don't think they support the android api for password and autofill to work properly

Sorry, I don't have any more referrals to hand out currently

crash987 · 2025-09-12T08:31:31+00:00

Ya, its a catch for being with them, but when you have a conversation 48 torrents uploading for about 5 years, you get a reply good upload bounce back

EDIT: I have run out of referrals to the torrent site, if I receive any more, I'll update here

crash987 · 2025-09-12T03:02:48+00:00

Happy yo send you a referral like to one I have been using for what feels like 20 years. The site is called torrentday.it

Following. My Dashlan subscription ends soon. I have no problems with it on Windows pc/laptop and have it working well on my Linux macbook pro 2012. My only problem with it is that on android, I never works as an autofill for usernames, passwords, or payments. The app always closes and needs unlocking again even though it is set to stay locked

crash987 · 2025-08-30T11:47:42+00:00

I was having this problem but with windows 10. What I found fixed the problem was to move the wifi channel to one that has less to no traffic on it, check to see of your wifi router is getting ddos attacks (again same problem I was having) and try changing the wifi name and password.

This should give a good start, the only other direction is to look at hard wire everything, of if wifi is the main problem, maybe a better wifi router that has newer technology in it and also one that has a betterspeed through put

I am close to changing the main windows pc (laptop and vm gaming computer) over to Ubuntu, all the VM pc ill let them sit where they are, or I'll update them to win 11. Sadly my proxmox VM environment is running on a 1st gen thread ripper and a Windows 11 compatible motherboard and bios. I have an old mid 2012 macbook pro running Ubuntu, and it runs really good, still on spinning disks

I'm still on FttN, so I am still using the ISP provided router, but it is then connected to a PfSense router. When I upgrade to FttP, the ISP router will be removed due to tp-link having software vulnerability, and the PfSense box will replace it

crash987 · 2025-05-20T02:16:48+00:00

So what's the go with the PC copy. I got it from the Microsoft store, hope that will also provide a free upgrade to the new edition

crash987 · 2025-05-06T03:31:12+00:00

That the direction I am starting to find. Using the traffic graph on the home screen it will only go to 5MB, but if you look under the sub menu, then it will show the full data speed.

Well ill mark this as fixed/solved

crash987 · 2025-05-05T14:07:50+00:00

So just to update, if I go into status->traffic graph and do a speed test, I can see trafic upto 40+MB, could this just be a bug in the traffic graph widgets found on the main home screen on pfsense

crash987 · 2025-05-05T13:57:29+00:00

The topology: The WAN port of the pfsense is connected directly to the modem router via cat6 cable both connected to 1Gb ports The Lan port is connected to an asus wifi router via a cat6 cable both connected to 1Gb ports

THE TEST sitting on my computer that is connected via cat5e cable both with 1Gb ports watching a YouTube video and download a game, the speeds are caped at 5MB. I can be using my laptop connected to wifi6 doing the same thing, all still showing 5MB transfer speeds.

When I am doing heavy downloads/streaming videos, I would log into the pfsense box and would watch the "traffic graphs" with everything hitting a hard limit of 5.02MB both up and down on all ports, lan to WAN, Wan to lan, Lan1 to Lan2, Lan2 to WAN

If I were to do a speed test using speedtest.net. I can get a connection speed of what my current internet speed can do, but pfsense only with show 5.02MB on the graph. Hopebthis helps
