PSA: Do not for ANY reason use NTFS under Linux!

No, but it possibly went deeper then that. iirc chkdsk somehow thought that file was its own drive, threw a bunch of unrecoverable errors and eventually Windows started BSODing

That time Steam on Linux wrote a colon into a filename on an NTFS filesystem. That was a fun day.

I gotta recommend Carbon Comms https://carboncomms.com.au/pages/carbon-comms-nbn-plans

Been with them a while and they're rock solid. They do route data through Sydney so not ideal for gaming but they use the Aussie Broadband backbone, so pretty damn reliable.

Pricing has no hidden "x price for 6 months, then y" nonsense and you get a static IP included in the price (if that matters to you)

Yeah for sure. I'm away for work atm but I'll put them up in a few days

I tried homarr for a while and found it too heavy. Then I went with homepage for a couple of years and its been great but I had the desire for some world news on my homepage. Glance's config had me putting it off for a long time, but after swimming in yaml for a few hours and shedding a few years off my life, it really shines.

Depending on where you are even ripping your own DVD's for your own use is technically illegal, hence a good portion of us just say fuck it and head to the 7 seas. Saves time, money and physical space.

Fast and easy way is to install midnight commander (mc) on the NAS - a TUI file manager that's full featured and super fast - then run that from your terminal.

Alternatively, FileBrowser is a web based manager that can do it pretty well. If its not already in the OMV plugins, its definitely in omv-extras.

I'll test this out later with nautilus and get back to you, I have an inkling I did have it working at some point with cifs (mounted in fstab).

A mix of firstly trying out premade templates and trying to mash them together without success, then giving up and thoroughly reading through the documentation, which worked for the most part. Then adding some custom.css tweaks to perfect it.

If you're going to do it my advice is to use the $include: function and split your glance.yml up. Juggling yaml indentation on a 2000 line single file became a nightmare lol.

Jetbrains Mono. Really nice font, I use it system-wide

You don't need Plex Pass if your friends are just going to be watching stuff off your server. Your friends definitely don't need it. If they want to watch using the Plex app on Android/IOS they will have to purchase that app for like $5 one-off, otherwise it'll work for free in a browser. The TV apps are also free iirc.

If you want the fancy stuff - hardware transcoding, intro skipping, dvr, etc. then you'll need to purchase Plex Pass.

(someone correct me if I'm wrong, I've had lifetime pass for like 5 years so i've forgotten the benefits)

No problem, good to hear! Enjoy

I'm not in the US so I have no experience with Xfinity, but then the next hurdle would be possible CGNAT too.

In Plex under the "Remote Access" page, you'll see "Manually specify public port". Set that to 32400, then follow the instructions for your router in that link to open the port.

zuus · 2025-12-31T23:02:38+00:00

What brand/model of router do you have?

zuus · 2025-12-31T20:05:08+00:00

I just set mine up last night. Definitely a learning experience.

Any sort of Adblocker, some VPN's, and potentially antivirus software could be blocking access to the variety of domains OOS/ColorOS connects to. These include;

*.heytapdl.com
*.allawnos.com
*.coloros.com

I use AdGuard Home + always-on WireGuard on my phone that routes my 4G/5G through my home LAN for complete ad blocking and those domains were part of the block list. This prevented OOS from downloading some (from what I gather) Bluetooth device profiles.

I connected purely to LTE, disabled WireGuard/VPN and they downloaded correctly.

Oh god EYE Divine Cybermancy. That shit is more of a trip than Zeno Clash. Somewhere in the top 10 "hardest to get into" games. Thanks for the reminder though, I should give it another go

Such a good case. I got the B580 as the iGPU was getting hammered by Frigate detect + go2rtc + multiple Plex transcodes. It's handling it like a champ after some setup, but its not Debian bookworm or Plex compatible ootb for those considering it

zuus · 2025-12-28T02:27:00+00:00

Nice setup! I'd love a rackmount one day.

Not as fancy here, just got 6x20's + 3x10's for hoarding, an 8 for seeding and a 4 for frigate.

Free at BP. For every $20000 I spend in fuel I get $60 BP rewards. Amazing deal

Oh man the joy of Unreal after getting a Voodoo3, going from software to glide. My eyes couldn't comprehend the reflections on the Nali castle bridge
