Thank you for taking the time to write this. That was an awesome read!

Why not all? You don’t have to identify in one box. I think it’s awesome to have a connection and understanding of a range of backgrounds. All my dogs have been mutts btw and they’re the best.

Exactly. Best place to be.

I am lesbian - love them A LOT in a sexual way and for comfort.

Yeah it’s essentially a trigger. I have a few purposes. One is for my dumb washing machine plugged into an energy monitoring smart plug. After it registers the washing is done, I’ll get alerts through the house in intervals until I get up and scan the NFC tag on the washing machine (I forget to hang out washing.

As I’m in a rental and I can’t have smart switches so I have smart globes and put tags on the switches to toggle the lights.

One by my bedside table to turn off all the lights and smart plugs.

One on my front door to set my away from home scene.

I also have a signed band poster hung on the wall with one, which opens the album in Spotify.

Good fun.

NFC tags are cheap and fun

I’m having success with TubeSync through docker compose.

I’m using Newpipe but haven’t tried LibreTube. Interested to try it out. How come you prefer it?

Dude he has so much money he spends on trivial shit like buying Twitter and flying on jets. Who cares if the wife gets some of the money? She’s doing all the care. Does he really hate her that much?

It’s shameful to be so rich and you still fight to reduce the amount of support money for your family (kids and their Mum). I bet when she was in his bed he promised her everything in the world back then.

Nice build. That is a lovely case by the way! Not too exxy either.

What’s the benefit of 12th gen? Over say 9th or 10th? I need weigh up if It’s worth saving up for as it’s a little out of my budget right now. Most I’ll be running is 2-3 1080p streams at home.

Thank you for all of this. You are right, I do have a set up currently. It’s an old repurposed amd PC which is fine for direct play but it stuggles to transcode. I want to use ErsatzTV which needs transcodng and it can’t handle it. It’s all set up through docker-compose on Linux Mint which has been fine so far (first Linux distro). You’ve gotten me quite interested in Unraid/OMV though.

Other containers I run are Immich, Mealie, Dozzle, Tubesync as well as the arr stack. Likely to run more containers (you know how it is). Current PC sits on about 10-12 GB ram.

I’m in Australia if that helps, little more pricey than US, harder to get parts and I definitely have had decision paralysis. in saying that though, all your comments have given me clarity for a plan.

Thank you for your very thorough reply. I will read up on all this now!

Thanks for that, have also considered this. What would be the benefit of going this way?
