Appreciate it! I'll play around with the configuration and see what works. Initially I had a really fun (/s) time with permissions on folders that were accessed by multiple containers (could write to one folder but not read it with Plex, for example) so I'm going to phase it in incrementally, hopefully without breaking my current setup.

Maybe this is an incredibly dumb question, but I was actually doing research on a very similar question to the OP and I still don't really have a definitive answer.

I currently have a series of docker containers running Plex and the full *arr setup on the Linux drive of my PC. Because I dual boot my machine, I want to migrate my server to a NAS so I don't shut it down whenever I switch from Linux to Windows. I'm seeing that I could theoretically use a NAS just for the media storage and keep all the transcoding (ie all of the docker containers with sonarr, radarr etc) on the existing Linux drive. However, would the Plex container live on the NAS or the Linux drive? I'd assume the NAS...?

I'll have to check the box but I'm pretty sure that's what I bought. The fact that this is even an option is pretty exciting. Would I be able to include Adguard if you can push apks to it? (Would it even be worth it?)

My daughter is 2 months old so she's not mobile yet, but this is definitely something I'm dreading in the future lol. Right now all I have to worry about is being woken up by her fussing in her sleep every half hour (she sleeps in a bassinet at the foot of the bed), but we've gotten better at discerning what merits actually getting up vs letting her self-soothe.

To answer the original question, though, having a child will train you to be able to wake up in a matter of seconds...

Huh. Didn't know you could do that to a Chromecast! Do you do it using adb?

It stopped working. They figured out a way around it 😢 Fortunately I found a cracked version of the premium APK so now I get ad free and unlimited hearts without paying a dime (I didn't necessarily care about the unlimited hearts but the ads were fucking obnoxious). I might still look into another system though because they keep reshuffling the format, and I don't feel like I'm progressing.

We bought bidets and have never looked back. My husband actually prefers it because it cleans a hairy ass better lol

Ugh, I feel you on the work thing. We use the Microsoft suite and although technically there are online versions of the software, it's fucking terrible compared to the desktop version, especially Teams (and sometimes I just flat out can't get Teams to work in the browser since it doesn't play nice with Firefox). And no, I can't just use Libre Office because it will fuck up any previous formatting of word docs, or in the case of Excel there will be functions that aren't supported.

I've just accepted that I need to be my own IT support for anything Linux in most day to day applications. Calling or emailing customer service inevitably gets me the answer that Linux is not supported.

Oh of course, Linux is my everyday machine (I have 2 separate hard drives in my tower). I just haven't taken the time to figure out Steam yet, and there are some pieces of work software that either work like shit on Linux or aren't available at all (yes, I know Wine is a thing but it's not perfect)

Release of Windows 12, possibly backtracks Windows 11 decision of requiring TPM.

I hope so, I built my own PC less than 4 years ago and it can't run windows 11. I don't care that much at the moment because I'm not a fan of some of the UI choices (and I only use Windows for gaming anyways) but once support is dropped for Windows 10 I'll need options.

It's not "ruined" but my 3 week old daughter has been particularly cranky today, she refuses to go to sleep despite multiple feeding sessions, diaper changes, and attempts at burping. I'm already tired because I took most of last night's shifts, so I'm glad we're not leaving the house. It's a bit of a bummer because I usually love everything about Christmas (the music, the lights, the food, the presents) and we are pretty much missing all of that this year. I can't wait to make up for it in future years though!

I think the first half of book 4 dipped a bit in quality due to some weaker characters, but the bonkers second half more than made up for it (and the TV version improved on that particular book, IMO).

The show ends on book 6, which means you miss out on pretty much the entire third act of the series. I'd say it's worth finishing just to get some closure on some of the unresolved loose ends.
