  • FYI you can definitely watch while your network is offline. You just net to tell it that you’re happy with that (it’s not activated by default for security reasons).

    • In your Plex server settings, go to Network, enable “Show Advanced”.

    • Near the bottom, find the textbox that says List of IP addresses and networks that are allowed without auth

    • In this field, enter the local IP address of any Plex client(s) you want to keep using if your internet (or the Plex cloud) is down.

    • A example: 192.168.0.50

    • Save the setting, done.

    #Important thing to be aware of:

    What this setting does is tell your local Plex server to simply give any Plex client that connects from that specific IP full admin access to your Plex server, ignoring any account restrictions. This means that if you have things in place to restrict access to some libraries (kids blocked from 18+ movies etc) those restrictions will have no effect. Also if you have the option set to allow file deletion, then any client from that IP could also delete items. And they could of course change any settings in your Plex server. So your kids can watch anything on your server, if you have a guest in your network and they browse to the Plex web interface, they can mess with things.

    Because of that I would recommend to limit the amount of IP’s you enter in that field to the absolute bare minimum. For example, only whitelist the “main living room device” plus one device you to admin the server, such as a laptop.

    If you want to whitelist multiple devices, this is a example:

    192.168.0.50,192.168.0.77,192.168.0.80
    

    If you want to whitelist a entire network, these would be examples:

    192.168.0.0/24 (this means 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.0.255)
    
    192.168.0.0/16 (this means 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255)
    

    And of course those involved network devices should use static IPs in your home network.








  • I agree. I am forced to use dockers with Unraid and I really don’t like them. For me, the benefits are very limited compared to the extra hassle. I think they have become so popular on Linux because they sidestep so many issues related to distro fragmentation. This is yet another example of how the “freedom” of Linux prevents long term innovation and general OS improvements. Especially in terms of UX.


  • I hope these comments make it clear to you that there’s never any off ramp for the “eat the rich” ideology. Once they’ve eaten the very rich, they go after the next cohort, and the next. It’s about pulling everyone down to the lowest level. We have repeatedly demonstrated this many times in many countries over the last century. It always ends in many deaths and fascism. The solution to that is free association, free commerce, and democracy. Individual liberty has plenty of drawbacks, but it’s far better than all of the alternatives we have tried.



  • You will never make more interest on an investment than you will get charged interest for the same amount as a loan.

    The historical S&P500 average is 11.88% annualised. Unless your interest rate is above this, you’re better off investing. In reality it’s more complex as there are tax considerations, liquidity, risk, opportunity cost etc to calculate. If your interest rate approaches this, paying down debt is indeed the best course of action.









  • At least you could read the source you cite.

    Facing mounting international calls to ease or lift their blockade in response to the Gaza flotilla raid, Egypt and Israel lessened the restrictions starting in June 2010. Israel announced that it will allow all strictly civilian goods into Gaza while preventing weapons and what it designates as “dual-use” items from entering Gaza.[100] Egypt partly opened the Rafah border crossing from Egypt to Gaza, primarily for people, but not for supplies, to go through.

    Additionally, any Gazan my leave by ship at any time.
