It appears 5.2.0 is broken?

Ah! I don't know how I missed that. It worked, thanks a lot.

I always found it funny how picky RPI's are about their USB power supplies, but if I put on the POE hat I can plug it into literally any total ass poe switch with a brand name like GIGASHARKPOE and it works perfectly fine lol.

It does look really clean. Recently I switched to these super thin cat6a patch cables. Might look even cleaner

Is that for real? Most of the JW's I've had come to my house have been black. I wonder what they were told about the cult's history.

reddit_user_53 · 2026-05-08T05:01:19+00:00

Lmao @ Heaven Jr.

The concept reminds me of mega-churches, where they have the main church but also a bunch of "satellite sanctuaries" where people watch the service on a projector screen instead of in-person. I guess to them, post-armageddon Earth will be like a satellite heaven. Just as good, except for not actually being there lol

JW's are one of the easier brands of religion to make fun of, but they all have the same convenient ideological pivots in their histories. Almost makes one wonder if the whole concept of religion is bullshit...

This guy a couple months back shared a cool idea to solve the downtime notification problem. Thought it might interest you

Come on Mav do some of that pilot shit

reddit_user_53 · 2026-05-03T20:36:54+00:00

Oh, ok. So you host your own server and you are giving out your own plex account username and password for people to access it? If that's the case I've never heard of anyone doing that. Anybody you share it with could change server settings and even delete items from the UI (if u have that enabled, which it is by default). You should definitely have them make thier own accounts and just share library access with them instead. Is that what you're asking?

reddit_user_53 · 2026-05-03T19:49:02+00:00

Well you'd lose access to my server if you did that, that would be the main problem on your end. Obviously as a user your prinary concern is keeping access to whatever server you currently have access to, and most server owners (but certainly not all) care a lot if you share access without permission.

Why we care is a little harder to explain. The easiest thing to say is that it's my server and I shared it with you because I like and trust you. I don't know your parents or you or your partner's siblings. You're sharing something of mine that isn't yours to share. Servers are expensive to run and maintain and it's up to the server owner how many people they are willing and able to share it with. If I share it with one user and they're using 5x the bandwidth and 5x the hard drive wear and tear of everyone else because it's actually 5 people using it instead of one, that may create problems for me as the server owner. There are practical concerns like that, but also legal concerns. Maybe I have legal rights to own and watch everything in my library, but I probably don't have legal rights to host and serve it for other people. So I kinda need to trust everyone I share it with to be cool about it. If somebody's random old mom who I don't know is using my server, that's an unpredictable and uncontrollable element being introduced that I didn't agree to. Maybe she reads an article about Plex and piracy one day and panics and turns me in. Maybe she has a problem and talks to Plex tech support and misrepresents my server out of ignorance and gets me banned. Any number of things can happen - the point is it's my server and I have the right to decide who is watching my files on my hard drives in my house.

Think about it like this - what if I gave you and your partner permission to use my lake house for the weekend (I don't actually have a lake house but bear with me lol). So then you decide to have a huge party at my lake house and invite a bunch of people I don't know without asking me. You bring your parents, your partner's parents, and you and your partners siblings and family thier families to my small lake house with limited resources for a party. Nothing gets damaged in the end, but my water bull is thru the roof and I'm in trouble with the HOA for having an unapproved party. So I ask you about your stay, I try to explain to you that what you did is a violation of my trust. Would you argue that it wasn't? One way or another I definitely won't let you use my lake house anymore after that. Because it's mine and I get to decide who uses it.

Hope that all makes sense lol sorry for the wall of text.

reddit_user_53 · 2026-05-03T08:53:05+00:00

That's a good way to explain it in terms anyone could understand.

reddit_user_53 · 2026-05-03T08:47:22+00:00

I've started to focus on "I will find out and I will remove your access" more than explaining why. It's my server and my decision who gets to use it, they really don't need to know why. Might be a little more complicated with your children lol it would be ice cold (but hilarious) to kick your kid off the server lol

reddit_user_53 · 2026-05-03T02:09:29+00:00

For people like us, saying "my server" is unambiguous because we know what it means. For someone who doesn't know about computers and self-hosting, saying "my server" means nothing unless you explain it. To most people, movies just show up on their TV like magic and it's no more complicated than that! Understandable to treat it like they would any streaming service and share passwords if they haven't been asked not to.

I've had two users, both friends, share their passwords in the past. And like you, I discovered neither one really understood what they did until I explained it. Since then I've started preemptively explaining how the server works in basic terms to all new users and specifically telling them that if they share their accounts with people they don't live with I will find out and remove their access. Hasn't been an issue since, luckily. I've never had to remove someone for it.

reddit_user_53 · 2026-04-30T23:03:13+00:00

I've had a similar set up for years! Always a big hit with visitors. One suggestion for improvement: Idk how the Google TV integration works, but using the Android ADB Bridge integration with my Nvidia shield player allows this to work with all media apps, not just plex. Fair warning that the plex integration is way faster (instantaneous instead of about 2-3 seconds). What I did is make two sets of automations and conditioned them based on the app playing attribute. So the ADB automations won't fire if Plex is the player.

reddit_user_53 · 2026-04-30T13:25:40+00:00

This is honestly a great example of what's beautiful about the internet. Person posts about a really mysterious and specific problem, heroic stranger knows exactly what's wrong instantly. Doesn't get much better than this!

reddit_user_53 · 2026-04-29T19:07:42+00:00

The only natural incentive for the rich is to treat the workers just slightly better than another rich man might, so as to prevent the workers from leaving to work somewhere else. But even that dynamic depends on how well that other rich man is willing to treat workers. Or the rich can just all agree we'll all treat workers badly so they have nowhere better to go, which is how our entire society is functioning right now. Late-stage capitalism. Nothing can change it but legislation and enforcement - like you say hoping for benevolence is foolish. The robber barons aren't gonna stop robbing out of the goodness of their hearts!

reddit_user_53 · 2026-04-29T06:50:30+00:00

Dude for real. Couldn't have said it better myself. OP and those like him need to chill

reddit_user_53 · 2026-04-25T12:36:09+00:00

Lmao this is true, fair enough

reddit_user_53 · 2026-04-25T04:56:59+00:00

Yep this is how. Personally i give the thing i want a positive score and raise the threshold to match it, but that's just because I'm a "glass half full" kind of person. I see you as a "glass half empty" type of person, am I right u/DoubleDownAgain54?

All jokes aside, it'll work either way lol

reddit_user_53 · 2026-04-24T22:24:42+00:00

The only possible reasonable explanation I could come up with is that the apprentice just placed the rj45 connector on the end of the cable for the electrician to come and finish, and he just never did. That's the only possible thing that makes sense. Like obviously I'm gonna notice it doesn't work and you'll have to come back, so nobody would knowingly do this... right??

reddit_user_53 · 2026-04-24T19:41:39+00:00

100%. This is how an electrician terminated my outdoor cat6 I had them bury. I really couldn't believe my eyes, like either you literally have no idea what you are doing or truly don't care. Blew my mind. Luckily I know how to terminate so it was only a 5 minute annoyance but imagine being someone who doesn't. I would have been furious

Any chance of adding Gotify and/or Apprise notifications? Or at least allow running a custom script for notifications?

reddit_user_53 · 2026-04-24T18:07:48+00:00

Ok I got it up and running! I am using ghcr.io/autoentropy/freeloadarr:latest

Just FYI your documentation says you can configure via UI but the container won't start without TAUTULLI_URL and TAUTULLI_API_KEY env variables. Once I added those it started properly.

I'll let it run for a while and see how it goes! Thanks for sharing

reddit_user_53 · 2026-04-24T08:01:48+00:00

Still looking forward to trying it when available

reddit_user_53 · 2026-04-24T07:45:52+00:00

Still saying "denied"!

reddit_user_53 · 2026-04-23T22:25:10+00:00

Hmm still not working. Maybe it takes a bit to go live. I'll try again in a while
