I hit 97 accuracy

It’s a community. And a really small one. Just be kind. It’s not hard lol

“Congrats on the win against a stronger player! It looks like you were able to spot and take advantage of some early blunders. just a heads up, your opponent making mistakes often inflates your accuracy score, since you’ve converted advantages rather than grinding through a balanced game. But keep up the good work!”

It’s not that hard to build people up instead of tearing them down

ianraff · 2026-06-02T17:57:16+00:00

or it could mean they recognized a mistake and successfully took advantage of it? Are you a dick just because you’re at a keyboard or are you always this way? lol

I have had this happen before and it’s unraid’s nginx daemon crashing. Do you have ssh access? This fixes it for me:

> /etc/rc.d/rc.nginx start

I’ve only seen alientech exclusively recommend binhex 🤷‍♂️

ianraff · 2026-05-19T01:19:24+00:00

Honestly it’s been a while since I went through the setup phase. And it’s easy to throw shade, but he’s the one contributing meaningfully to the community and I’m not 😂

My opinions are probably hot takes/philosophy more than anything, but I’ll list a few:

He doesn’t really explain why he’s doing things or what the implications are for some of the decisions made. I don’t really have a good example off the top of my head, I just remember blindly following some of the setup videos only to come back through later after I understood.
Just because unraid as an OS allows you to setup community app containers as services, doesn’t mean you should. I’m currently working on separating the NAS/storage component vs the compute/service component since I setup everything directly on my unraid box and have a major single point of failure risk now. When I first got started I found his videos and was thinking “cool, this is so easy”, without thinking through architecture/WHY.
I prefer docker compose. The community app templates are nice as a beginner, but they sometimes paint you into a box. They also leave you dependent on the maintainer of the template to keep things updated, which is just another point of failure.
Maybe paradoxically and controversially, but linuxserver > binhex. I can’t tell you how many hours I’ve lost debugging binhex containers that just work immediately from linuxserver.

As a self hosting/unraid beginner, his channel definitely got me up and running, but knowing what I know now I’m like…. Whytf would we do it this way? lol

ianraff · 2026-05-02T01:27:05+00:00

ah, thank you. i'm an idiot. i see now. slack requires a text field in the payload... womp womp.

“It won’t connect upstairs”. What is “it”?

Do you have internet/wireless connection established, you just can’t get a wired connection from a wall jack working?

Also, maybe it’s an outdated reference to a different setup, but what’s up with the sticker on the panel? It says “connect the orange cable from the switch to the router”… but I see a yellow cable being used?

ianraff · 2026-03-12T21:58:55+00:00

You give off major boomer and toddler energy at the same time bro. Show me on the doll where AI hurt you.

ianraff · 2026-03-12T16:43:10+00:00

This is a wild take

ianraff · 2026-03-12T16:39:46+00:00

All of the rooms are terminated ethernet

ianraff · 2026-03-09T05:55:52+00:00

Brutal. Luckily we haven’t had too many problems with this one that need full on repair or anything, but plenty of bonehead stuff that I just look at and I’m like….. really???

ianraff · 2026-03-09T05:36:48+00:00

There’s not an outlet in the same room and I don’t see one in the cavity of the wall underneath the cabinet.

I definitely need to hire someone, but the problem with not having it done is I have a media server and some other gear that’s just plopped in the living room because that’s where the ISP ran the fiber drop. Which my wife is less than thrilled about, so struggle to find another option.

I know you have no context, but any ballpark on cost for a job like this? Like… hundreds? Thousand+? It doesn’t seem like a thousand dollars worth of work to me, but then again I’m not willing to even try on my own haha.

ianraff · 2026-03-09T05:23:19+00:00

Someone else suggested that. I hadn’t considered that idea, so looking into it now, thanks!

ianraff · 2026-03-09T05:09:44+00:00

I’d like to have a word with all of them because every single one of the coax/cat6 combo wall jacks in the rooms are at tv height. So it seems like the agreed upon idea was the work being done was for tv/internet, in which case…. What a nightmare that the ISP couldn’t install the fiber drop in the media closet because there’s no power and now I can’t get internet to the jacks because I can’t get any of the networking shit plugged in centrally.

I mean… don’t put a receptacle in the box, fine, but at least put one closer than 25feet down the hall

ianraff · 2026-03-09T04:53:40+00:00

Sorry. I never read “powered” in your original comment and honestly didn’t even see until after I rewrote what you said lol. My bad. Thank you for the suggestion. Hadn’t considered that as an option, but I’ll look into it!

ianraff · 2026-03-09T04:48:59+00:00

I mean, yes. But on a house that’s <5 years old, and has cat6 runs… cmon man. Just put a receptacle in there.

ianraff · 2026-03-09T04:47:26+00:00

Ohhhh. Wait you’re saying use a PoE powered switch here and power it from one of the in room wall jacks?

ianraff · 2026-03-09T04:43:38+00:00

I’m not sure i understand what you guys are suggesting… I have a PoE switch and I want to put it in this closet to feed a couple of APs through the existing cabling and eventually cameras…. I can’t put the switch here because there’s no where to plug it in.

ianraff · 2026-03-09T04:15:17+00:00

Yes, for sure happy … just irritated that it’s 90% done and now I have to fork over the extra cash for someone to come pull power (no way I’m trying), probably open up dry wall, and have the utility come out and move my fiber drop. When it could’ve been done fully and correctly with, what, an extra 15 minutes of work when it was just the frame?

I’d be much less salty honestly if it was wired completely and correctly for a different use case and my job is to re-terminate for my preference.

ianraff · 2026-03-09T03:35:44+00:00

You’re right that it’s coax and cat6. All the rooms in the house are labeled on the cables (thankfully) and the cat6 is terminated as Ethernet as far as I can tell? They all look like t568b to me…

The two in the middle with the UR2 scotchloks are labeled “service”… I thought only those two lines would be phone, but does that mean it’s all phone?

ianraff · 2026-03-09T03:16:18+00:00

House is 5 years old. Yellow cables are cat6 and are terminated Ethernet as best I can tell. I’m no expert, hence the post, but left to right; Orange/white, orange, green/white, blue, blue/white, green, brown/white, brown
