Every night is still probably overkill. My neighbors’ APs rarely/never change channels.

Using the UniFi WiFiman app on a gigabit fiber connection from my phone to a U6 Long-Range access point (802.11ax, 40 MHz, crowded suburban area, channel scanning each night with auto-select enabled), I’m getting 321 Mbps down and 402 Mbps up.

For anything for which I care about getting the most speed within my network, I use Ethernet.

Good point!

It’s especially nice to use either of these on Linux because you can use symlinks to have the server think the audio files are in more than one place without using any extra storage space.

Just make sure to always be careful with recursion.

I’ve used https://draw.io (apparently https://app.diagrams.net/ now) before for this exact purpose. I mapped out network, devices, and services.

This was going to be my suggestion. It may seem like you need a ui.com account for it, but there is a way to use the equipment without one.

The EFF’s concept was from the Napster days, but I think this was written later on.

what does that even mean?

I think NUC’s internal drive can be upgraded.

USB drive would be fast enough for anything going out to or coming from the Internet.

NAS is a cheap(ish) way to get lots of storage.

I wouldn’t attach storage to my router for the use you’re describing.

This is such an important message, I keep this on my phone:

• GCstar • LibreOffice Base

What OS are you on?

Can you right click the taskbar and cascade/tile the open windows? Not sure if the keyboard will be affected or not.

If I understand correctly, it was originally implemented when they made it so you could use ssl to access your media without any configuration or cost: https://www.plex.tv/blog/its-not-easy-being-green-secure-communication-arrives/

I also think you can watch locally without logging in, but, it’s a less than ideal way of doing it: https://www.plexopedia.com/plex-media-server/general/plex-no-internet/

Unfortunately, the biggest red flag about Plex is that they now offer their own streaming media. That means they’re in bed with media companies which is at odds with the goals and needs of the original fans and users of Plex servers.

When I saw the first slow steps Plex’s encruddification, I was relieved to find out Jellyfin exists. I wish it had more features, but it’s being actively developed and totally usable already. Also, I’m not a fan of the name, but that’s a stupid thing to complain about.

If you’re okay using WINE, EAC is the best CD audio ripping software. Here’s a decent setup guide: https://eacguide.github.io/

Don’t use cddb, use the optional CUETools DB plugin that can be installed during the EAC installation.
