Our National Parks are amazing!

For now.

Plex is a good example that does just that (not on my rec list but a good example) along with many business grade IPTV and media streaming products (think digital signage).

I'd really love to rework JF to do it, but structurally it wouldn't work, you'd need a management service in front of it.

Remember that we're talking about a server on your local network, and a device on the local network to make the connection for the stream. We aren't talking about streaming over the internet.

• Client looks up server via DNS
• Client connects to public IP
• Client handshakes to server
• Server announces to client available connections (public, local)
• Client continues connections with local address

There is no need for tailscale or anything, this is a local connection. The only thing the public address is doing is the initial call to the server.

The good ones... Are not cheap (if someone knows a cheap option though, I'd be happy to add it to my own repertoire!)

For me, I backup with:

• A second NAS
• a clone to a NAS at two other homes (family), which also sync to mine
• Encrypted backups to generic cloud storage

Edited to add:

You dont need to backup everything.

What is being backed up by me at all the locations above:

• Content I can't replace (home photos, movies, etc)
• Configs for services
• Personal documents and other such data.
• etc

Aside from the home movies, its not a huge amount of data. Lots of VHS conversions of graduations, Christmases, etc of long past.

Locally I back up more to the second NAS including:

• Content I can replace but this is faster
• Full backups of VMs
• LXC snapshots
• etc

So while I have a huge amount of storage at home, what's needed elsewhere is not anywhere near as much.

Depends on the server obviously, but most will pass off their local once the initial handshake is made.

Once that is done, DNS isnt relevant anymore.

Edit: This is especially true for media (movies, TV) servers.

Should all be local after the connection is made, as long as nothing is wonky with your setup.

Locally you should resolve that DNS to your local server though, not via cloudflare.

Used tiny/mini/micro.

Get the gen of Intel CPU you can afford purely for hw transcoding. 6th-8th gen is good, newer gets you more, even av1 becomes an option.

If you have a NAS, great, store videos there. If you dont, I'd upgrade the t/m/m with an m.2 and (config dependant) you can usually stick a 2.5" in there as well.

Proxmox for the OS, run lxc's for the individual services you want, or make a docker LXC and run them in there. Personally I just make an LXC for each service.

The first UAV in the 1800s were incendiary balloons, Austrian attack on Venice.

A. M. Low was a pioneer in rocket guidance systems, planes, etc. In 1917 the "flying bomb" (a controlled airplane) was developed, and later developed into the Kettering Bug - a bomb with wings - which had a terrible success rate and never got used in combat. You can see a reproduction in Dayton, Ohio, at the museum for the Air Force.

Target drones (training drones for military pilots) were made by Radioplane and sold to the Army in the 1940s. That led to the SD-2 Overseer in the 1950s.

Which led to the Lightning Bug, based on target drone designs, used to monitor the Chinese, then Vietnam. They would deploy a parachute so they could be picked up mid-air so they wouldn't fall into foreign hands. China shot down a few of them and set the shot them down and set those drones up for public display.

Drones have a much longer history than you'd think!

Classic to TBC.

Did my pally quest for the mount, only to see that no longer be needed just a bit later....

Well my wife is the one who knows her way around a farm, she'll be running it, and I'll be doing random manual labor as required.

Its been ridiculous finding the right property though... What used to be $300-400k only 3 years ago is now selling for over a million. Its nuts. So most likely going empty land and building cheap to start....

Can confirm.

Expensive every month, expensive to treat, expensive to shoe, expensive to house/feed/etc.

We are actually looking at property to do some farming, and a chunk of it will be for retired horses.

I haven't played wow in a long time.... Classic, TBC, then wotlk, cata, then took a break from it, came back a loooooong time later and just... Didnt enjoy it.

I would definitely do something like this to play with family and friends, going to have to check it out!

They are... oddly sensitive in some ways, and incredibly resilient in others.

All too true....

Just really big dogs who like to play

Nothing that matters to the Naruto storyline, no. Filler episodes don't impact the overall story, just some character focus bits about who they are.

You can always just read the summary for those episodes too.

What I would say among the fillers worth watching are:

• Naruto 101 is fantastic and could be considered canon with what happens later on in the story.
• Shippuden 349-361 is the kakashi back story. Its right in the middle of great story, but IMO worth watching. You could even watch this between Naruto and Shippuden.
• Shippuden 484-500 is adapted from official novels, so some call it filler, others call it canon. I'd recommend it.

Thats about it though. The rest are more of an "if you feel like it".

Just delete the fully filler episodes and enjoy

Its perfectly healthy.

Aside from a deeper sleep, horses will lay down for a lot of reasons. The important part to note is horses are prey animals, so they have evolved to do a lot while upright. Laying down is actually a big sign of feeling safe, and something they may do in fields with other horses they get along with, in a stall if the bedding feels good to them and there is enough room, etc.

The problems are when they are unwilling or unable to get up, that can be a sign of anything from an injury to sickness or a neurological issue.

My wife is the knowledgeable one, this is just s bit of what ive picked up.l

Edit: wife says if the description is accurate, just a silly horse being silly, and since Sugar looks well cared for..... yeah just a silly horse doing silly horse things.

At work, a CTO for a firm we were designing a solution for got upset because hardware was in customs, and tariffs needed to be paid.

He didn't understand why the manufacturer wasn't paying, and it had to be pointed out (by someone from the other company bringing this hardware) that tariffs are a tax on importing, not exporting, and for every single contract they have ever had, tariffs are paid by the client.

This was not a small company, either. We're talking about a fairly large firm in finance. And the CTO didn't understand how tariffs work.

We're fucked.

Yup, was getting an uber (I can't drive for very long or the pain starts), he was chatty and excited about Trump.

Asked what he thought about the anti-immigrant talk (oh obviously thats the bad ones!), and the fact that there was a pandemic and prices skyrocketed (Biden's fault even though that all started before he was in office), etc. Paraphrased obviously.

I don't know what can possibly be said to these folks to have them understand, but as a result, we have... Well all this current nonsense.

This is one of those cases where an algorithm carefully trained on only relevant data can have value.

Hopefully more people learn that this is the important part.

It becomes nonsense when you just feed it everything and the kitchen sink. A well trained model works.
