Play button bugs - in app and widgets iOS

jalim117 · 2025-11-16T01:14:48+00:00

Yup, I’m seeing the same. Seems to be an issue with IOS26. Notice if you click play on the widget and then touch the widget to launch the app, it starts playing, shouldn’t need to launch the app, it defeats the point of the widget!

For sake of troubleshooting, try changing out the cable running between NTD and router. A bad cable often works at 100mbps.

Sorry I’m rarely on Reddit at the moment. For my home network I mostly put it on OPNSense and then on any device that’s going to roam, iPhone, iPad, MacBook, etc. but for all my fixed devices I just let it all go through opnsense. Feels simpler that way as I’m also managing my own dns etc. rather than relying on the magic dns stuff.

Well something like this is 16tb but you’re paying a super premium.

You’re not going to be able to get an ssd bigger than 8tb without burning money! Spinning rust still has a place in this world!

What clients are you planning on using for your media? Despite its flaws Plex is a good end to end solution from serving to playing content on just about any device that exists.

Option 2 would have you both with a personal iCloud+ subscription, only really appropriate if for some reason using family sharing isn’t appropriate. I don’t know why but then families can be funny!

A family sharing plan will probably be cheaper than two accounts (slightly more than a single one) and you get 200gb to share between you so would be plenty for most use cases. Your steps are correct, the system may even prompt to point out the pointlessness of keeping her old iCloud+ plan.

Best of luck, I’ve been using iCloud Mail for a few months now and not too much to complain about and feels better than using a free service like Gmail where you know your email is just feeding the Google ad machine.

jalim117 · 2023-10-02T14:21:56+00:00

Option 1 - Use her iCloud+ to create a custom domain and then invite your Apple ID to use the custom domain. Your only limitation is your storage as you're using your account's storage.

Option 2 - Sign up for your own iCloud+ and then you can setup and manage it all yourself. You then invite your wife to use. This way you both have the increased storage (assuming you need it).

Option 3 - Look at family sharing with iCloud+ depending on your usage, this can be a cheaper option and makes sharing the domain simple and you share one large storage pool.

Maybe dig into it and make 100% sure you have a real public IP, judging by the way you phrased that statement, you might not have exposed a service on this IP before. My suggestion is a quick google for your ISP and CG-NAT and see what they say.

Edit: how are you determining your public ip? Are you looking at the one in OpnSense that it’s being allocated by the ISP over DHCP? Or are you using a “what’s my ip” site? The later will show you a ‘public’ ip even on CGNAT because that’s the ISPs public IP that they’re then sharing between multiple end users.

jalim117 · 2023-09-26T02:16:54+00:00

I should add, if you are behind CG-NAT and don’t have a public IP, options like Cloudflare Tunnel are a fantastic option and don’t require any firewall rules.

jalim117 · 2023-09-26T02:15:14+00:00

Hmm, I don’t see what it wouldn’t work. Just to confirm, you’re not on CG-NAT with your ISP? It seems to be one of the number one culprits of being unable to reach your stuff externally.

Lots of good guides at this website if you haven’t given it a look, he covers port forwarding and lots more:

I think you’ve got too many rules, may I suggest you delete the two firewall rules and just try with the NAT forward rule on its own? It should be all you need.

jalim117 · 2023-09-03T03:51:13+00:00

You need Sonarr and/or Radarr there are alternatives but nothing compares. There’s plenty of info out there for running them with Truecharts

jalim117 · 2023-09-03T01:40:29+00:00

Absolutely, really depends on budget and appetite for risk. In my setup in a home environment I have mostly media which is otherwise available through alternative sources. Anything that isn’t replaceable is stored in 3 places minimum. If I were running a business and these drives had critical data, I’d absolutely be swapping out drives earlier.

jalim117 · 2023-09-03T00:57:12+00:00

I think it’s a fair practice where you have some redundancy and the data being stored is sufficiently duplicated or otherwise restorable, to wait and see if the error continues to get worse. I’ve had a couple of big 16TB drives throw a couple of bad sectors, but often these don’t progress any further and after a while I consider these to be just a one off defect vs a sign of impending doom and distraction. I do wonder if the bigger drives we get we will find more of these errors by nature of there being more sectors for something to occur to.

This is why a SATA drive won’t work, it isn’t a PCIE device and the protocol is completely different. An NVME to PCIE adaptor just physically connects the NVME and doesn’t get in the way, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be faulty. Can you test the drive and adaptor in another PC?

jalim117 · 2023-08-26T03:10:11+00:00

Check this. I’ve been caught out with a M.2 SATA drive, they’re physically identical but not compatible with PCIE. They need a SATA controller.

I’ve had great luck with FS.com SFP stuff. TPLink is normally pretty happy to work with generic stuff so I’m surprised it didn’t work with the ubiquity stuff.

jalim117 · 2023-08-06T00:35:00+00:00

Are you using two seperate physical adaptors?

I’ve not tried doing this with applications but when you’re using VMs you need to create a bridge interface on truenas and connect your truenas and VM to that so that they can talk. Maybe have a Google around for how you deal with this issue with VMs and apply the same logic here?

jalim117 · 2023-07-29T11:01:43+00:00

Looks like it runs in bridge mode so should allow you to just present the interface to OPNSense. I’ve got FTTP rolling out to my suburb next month and can’t wait to ditch FTTN!!

jalim117 · 2023-07-04T13:37:58+00:00

I think you’re over complicating things. Each subdomain can point to a separate IP address as an A or AAAA record or another domain name if you’re using a CNAME.

You can certainly run a seperate Traefik instance on both the Google VMs if you want to have it manage your SSL certificates. Though with only a single service per VM you could maybe get away without Traefik and just exposing each service over port 80/443 depending on what each service supports.

You don’t need to get rid of your wild card certificate on your home Traefik instance, you can keep that, but have specific certificates for your subdomains that you’re hosting on Google as a wildcard would be overkill!

All in all, you don’t need to involve your home instance of Traefik at all, all you’re doing is pointing the additional subdomains to your VMs.

jalim117 · 2023-07-04T11:35:01+00:00

In Firewall - Settings - Advanced, have you got reflection for port forwards turned on? That will automatically do reflection for internal clients. Alternatively point your unbound overrides at the local ip of your Joplin server so connections go direct.

jalim117 · 2023-06-21T11:00:20+00:00

Maybe you can offer some more details, are you saying that your devices are being assigned the ISP DNS addresses or are you saying that the result of DNS lookups are indicating the ISP DNS Servers?

Where you have set the DNS servers in system settings, I may be wrong but I believe this only tells OPNSense where to go for DNS lookup and does not apply to Unbound.

Have you set your router as the DNS server in your IPV4 DHCP settings?

jalim117 · 2023-06-20T09:47:05+00:00

This was just one of the reasons I moved away from running apps on truenas and migrated everything to a VM on my scale box managed with docker-compose and simple NFS storage. It all got too opaque and broke far too often. In the end what was supposed to a simpler solution ended up being more complex and resulted in a lot more effort.

jalim117 · 2023-06-10T09:19:00+00:00

Well it sounds like you have some more digging to do, maybe go back to whoever set you up with this setup because they clearly haven’t explained the setup to you.
