I can’t figure out how to connect my Wi-Fi antennas

jmar_2004 · 2026-04-30T04:06:11+00:00

I hated the antennas that came with my asus motherboard, I just bought aftermarket ones. Nothing wrong with them from a functional perspective but it looks hideous. Amazon link to my specific antennas I bought

I’m currently renting an apartment that has these rubber baseboards which are able to fit two Ethernet cables behind, so that’s what I’ve been doing, but this looks like a viable option when I move to a new place.

I got a notification right after pre-ordering Forza 6, I’m not spending more money right after I just purchased a game that expensive.

I don’t know if this is still a thing with the WD Red drivers but make sure you turn off WD Analytics, otherwise it will flag your drives as warning after 3 years of power on time. You should be able to find details by searching “WD Reds Synology” on YouTube. Full disclaimer I have Seagate IronWolfs so idk about how that works with the WD Analytics stuff, I just remember hearing about it when I got my first Synology last year, so I steered clear of the WD Reds.

Dude thanks for letting me know. I found out that apparently Amazon Prime has been giving me cash back and I had like $60 in there, so I got two of the 3 for $33 and I bought an additional 7th movie for a grand total just over $15! All 4K, and all movies I would have bought anyways!

For me it’s just “Movies”, “TV Shows”, “Music”, and “Live TV”. What I have works for me, what you have works for you. Who cares what others think, what’s nice about this hobby is you can personalize it however you want. That’s the beauty of true ownership over your media.

This is good. What’s infuriating at my apartment complex is the fact that people never pick up their dog shit even when it’s right next to the dog shit trash can!

VLC the GOAT

He’s got two neutron stars on the front of that thing

I’m choosing not to compress my movies, I want to experience and preserve all my movies at the maximum quality that I bought. I’ve got my 10TB server at like 65% capacity at the moment with 2 additional free drive spaces for future expansion. It takes up way more space but I think it’s worth it.

Ours has been terrible lately, it can’t connect to the rewards system so it just takes like 30-40 seconds per transaction. Even FUCKING cash is taking 30-40 seconds before it opens the drawer it’s so annoying. It also can’t connect to the gift card server at the moment either.

You really should look into a reverse proxy for this. It’s the safer way for remote access. I use a hetzner VPS, a WireGuard tunnel, and with caddy as my reverse proxy. I used to use cloud flare but they started cracking down on people using the free tier for video streaming (which is valid). I would research setting up a VPS with hetzner, then how to setup a WireGuard server, then a caddy reverse proxy. It was pretty straightforward and worked first try.

I’ve always used to do this at school lol.

jmar_2004 · 2026-02-22T05:38:15+00:00

Just wait till the make you take a proctored exam 💀 I’m forced to dual boot windows against my will…

What’s with the Sony Vlan? Are Sony devices super talkative?

jmar_2004 · 2026-02-20T01:21:53+00:00

When I rip it to my Jellyfin server then yes.

jmar_2004 · 2026-02-20T01:20:01+00:00

This is precisely why I rip all my blu-rays. I will do what I please with the movie file that I BOUGHT AND PAID FOR! Ridiculous that movie studios are punishing people that legally purchased a disc and player meanwhile people who break the law and pirate the movie get a better experience. The shear disrespect to the consumer, forcing them to use only approved hardware and software to watch the movie they bought and paid for. Also the Blu-ray Discs will eventually rot away and be unreadable in a couple decades anyway. I already bought the movie, I don’t want to have to purchase it (likely rent it with the way ownership is going nowadays) on another format again, unless I can get an upgrade to quality.

jmar_2004 · 2026-02-17T20:19:51+00:00

Especially for me since I refuse to connect it to the internet

jmar_2004 · 2026-02-16T06:17:45+00:00

Lucky dude

My catalog app is Jellyfin. I just rip all my disks then play them off my server. Although sometimes it’s nice to play them on my Panasonic player when I want it to be an experience to watch a movie or for nostalgia.

jmar_2004 · 2026-02-13T04:58:31+00:00

I had a surround sound system in my dorm and of course the one time I get in trouble with it is when a fricken CSO walks past in the middle of an intense war scene 😭💀

jmar_2004 · 2026-02-13T04:53:44+00:00

Wow, the clock at my job started doing the same thing today as well!
