A good friend of mine is a Lutheran pastor. She explained that, contrary to what I was taught in Catholic school, "taking the Lord's name in vain" doesn't mean swearing or saying "god damn it." It means to bring up god or religion for your personal benefit. And, you know, of course it does. It's amazing how religious schooling gives people permission to twist language around like that.

Ah, okay. Thanks for the clarification.

Thanks for the concise reply!

-Streaming quality is set to original on every device I use to access Plex.

-I still get confused about open ports, but I'll check again and make sure it's not running through relay.

-I believe the hardware should be fast enough to transcode at least a couple streams, but I'll check again.

Remote access is enabled but whether I'm actually able to access the server or library remotely is intermittent. Plex says I may be double-natted but I was pretty sure I'm not. I'll have to investigate again.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I pay for a static IP through my VPN provider, and I've wondered if there would be a benefit to running my server through the static IP, then using the same IP to access the server remotely. (Not sure if I'm describing that correctly.)

Unfortunately I'm using Nest WiFi and it doesn't have QoS settings. You're making me consider buying a new mesh router system because Nest also doesn't have manual band selection, which I need for some IoT devices.

These are excellent ideas to test where the bottleneck is. Thank you very much.

Thank you for this. I'll check my port forwarding on my router (Google Nest WiFi).

Ah, Plex suggested I might be double-natted. Since fiber doesn't need a modem (from my understanding) I have: fiber cable to box, box Ethernet to router, router ethernet to NAS. Maybe it would be better if I did box directly to NAS? Or would that put it on a separate network? I'll look into your double-nat solution. Thank you.

I tested between 800-900Mbps UP, closer to a full gig down.

These are great options. Thanks so much for your help.

Ah shit. The faucet is stainless but the counter around the sink is some kind of wood composite. Guess I'll put a bandaid on it and plan to replace the counter.

Thank you kindly for pointing it out. It seemed just realistic enough to be sincere.

They created basically everything in the economy? What do you mean by that and what do you think "economy" means?

Very well put. Thank you for writing this.

If anyone's looking for brand names... Loops have spent a lot on marketing the last few years. I've worn them a few times and they're good, but I think Flare Earshades are just one level above. I can't believe how good they sound.

I love that you love Giordano's. I live by one and I've eaten there twice and it was underwhelming for me. The pizza takes like an hour to bake, and it's just too much crust. I liked the chewy stringy cheese and the soupy sauce on top, but the vehicle just didn't work for me.

Are you saying people should stop criticizing Biden because a spokesman "expects" Israel to stop genociding? He still sent billions of dollars in weapons long after it was clear was Israel is doing.

From the article:

The pilot program targeted people with simple tax returns based on W-2 forms. In her remarks today Yellen said that over the next few years they will expand Direct File to support more situations.

A friend who worked at Meta said pretty concisely, "You get rewarded for coming up with something new, not improving something old."
