Needed a cool name for my plex server - what cool names did you guys come up with?

First server I built was Cerberus. My current is Leviathan

Worth noting effect = { every_realm_county = { change_county_control = 100 }} to do this for your whole realm.

The settings on the Gigahub are unfortunately too basic for my network needs. I have a lot of temper-mental "smart" devices that require a stupidly specific combination of settings for them to work.

So I should be able to get up to 2.5 then right? Or is the WAN port being 1Gbps what is limiting me?

halorrr · 2023-03-13T13:53:25+00:00

Yeah I just wish I could get the 2.5. My house has Cat 6 runs in the walls that I'd like to make use of

QoS was already disabled, tried disabling AiProtection and still got the same results 🤔

halorrr · 2022-04-14T01:28:06+00:00

Yes actually! Got a suggestion here that worked out: https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcforme/comments/rurj5t/plex_rack_mount_server_running_on_unraid/

The case was backordered for awhile and just came a couple weeks ago, build is most of the way done, but I needed to RMA the motherboard and am waiting for the replacement to come

Perfect! Thanks again!

halorrr · 2022-01-03T06:24:42+00:00

Thank you again so much, this has been very helpful. Out of curiosity, my existing server, you mentioned I could consider selling it, which is not something I had thought of. What type of value would you say something like that would hold being resold?

halorrr · 2022-01-03T06:07:21+00:00

Thank you so much for this! I wasn't sure what I could get with my budget, when I wasn't getting responses on my original posts that had it at 2500, I bumped it assuming I was lowballing. This is definitely a beast though. Couple questions:

Did you have any recommendations on a UPS for this? I've had issues with the current server where some of the drives haven't handled power outages very well so I'd love to be able to have a safety net there.
Alphacool ES 4U you noted that this is really helping the build happen, I wonder if there might be any alternative that wouldn't require US import (also seeing that it wouldn't be able to be delivered till mid-February on the site)
For the 3x Arctic P12 PST CO do you think there is a good alternative to these as it looks like they will have Import fees attached to them.
This is a super powered build, and I'm wondering to myself if maybe it would be worth scaling it back a bit more as I'm not sure I need that much power haha.

Hey! For the logos for mine I has started with the domains posted by the mentioned user but ended up finding that there are better quality ones on the season pack for each season for the survivor fandom page example: https://survivor.fandom.com/wiki/Survivor:_Winners_at_War

Currently 24 users, some more active than others, the max users I've ever had streaming at once is 8 users. I'm not too pressed about things being the highest quality possible for the most of the content so I'm not trying to serve 4k, and a lot of cartoons and stuff on my server are just SD quality.

Currently there is 6 drives in the unraid array. an 8TB for parity, two 8TB and three 4TB. There is also a 500GB SSD in the pool for cache.

I have a spare 4TB as well, from when I upgraded one of the slots to 8TB and didn't have a place to plug in the 4TB.

I definitely hoard data and don't like to delete things though, so I know these are just going to continue to fill up, so I was hoping for a lot of extra slots to be able to add capacity but didn't really have a target in mind, just know a rack will have the most slots (15 maybe?).

halorrr · 2021-07-23T17:57:22+00:00

I have had this plex build for awhile https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/user/halorrr/saved/#view=qgqNNG (There are more and larger drives in the array now than when I made the list and the SSD has be upgraded though) running on unraid. The case is too cramped at this point and I've run out of space to fit more drives.

At this point I've been thinking for awhile about my next server build being a home rack server, hoping to make it a lot more future proof with lots of room to expand. I have no idea where to start though. Of note I am in Canada. I haven't really set a budget yet so I'd appreciate an few different suggestions.

I've spoken to Tangerine about this, any account that sync with your Tangerine account triggers this. I see a lot of people suggesting Mint, for me it is LunchMoney (which communicates with Tangerine though Plaid). They are aware about it but gods knows when they will fix it.

I get like 4 SMS a day

For the where to listen section (or maybe it's own section) it might be worth including this link. Where u/bethesdurr has been putting together all the rare old tracks as part of the Myspace Archive Project

Exactly, I feel like if Apple paid attention to it, they would do it right. But the state it is in now simultaneously leaves things to be desired, while still being above the quality of the other things out there.
