You can have multiple finder windows in OSX, thats perfectly normal, but you cant have the network settings open next to the printer settings.
I’m pretty positive on mac OS, as an OS it’s technically quite good, but their preferences app has always been atrocious almost entirely for this reason, I want to have two preferences windows open to different pages please…
Thus why im moving to 11. Lots of the PCs I work with are still 10 though.
Mostly 11 now. I honestly prefer it to 10 now, but that’s with quite about of decrapification done to remove all of Microsoft’s bullshit.
At home I’m mostly using Ubuntu, but it’s basically covering firefox as all of my self-hosted stuff runs in thevbrowser and I don’t game much.
I hope your firewall is up to scratch.
honestly I still cant figure out how to configure a network interface properly without using the old control panel.
These are the people that complain to their ISP when their game ‘lags’ on their wireless connected computer several rooms away from the router.
can you run something like iperf3 or openspeedtest between the server and client to prove its a network throughput issue?
do you have a network switch you can add to avoid switching through your router (if it is indeed bad?)
Have you ensured you arent unknowingly using wifi at either end?
NGINX is a bit more hands on than some other options but it’s mature, configurable and there’s a huge amount of information out there for setting it up for various use cases.
in my case, its what I set up when i was first getting into this and it works, so I don’t want to go through setting up anything else.
Thanks for the insightful and helpful comment.
Unraid is great and I have been using it for over a decade now, but a paid OS on a 2bay nas seems excessive
I use Plexamp for that, Jellyfin does it too. You can assign libraries per user quite easily.
So for 3 users you might have 4 libraries, one per user then a shared library they all have access to.
I have complete ROM sets for a couple of platforms in my archive, they’re available on SLSK but not a huge amount of bandwidth available.
Sad to see the old giants like Vimms finally being attacked after all these years.
Soulseek has been getting hammered too
the 2.5" size of disks are now mostly direct USB controller disks rather than sata adapters internally.
3.5" disks are still SATA as far as i’ve seen but the actual sku’s of the disks are often the lower grades. like you will get a disk that looks like another good disk but with only 64mb of dram instead of 256 on the one you would buy as a bare internal drive for example so they can end up a bit slower. and warranties are usually void.
Used to be my main source of disks, but these days there are better ways and it is easier to know exactly what you are getting.
Israel making an awful lot of “mistakes” lately…
Are you transcoding?
4mbit per client for 1080 is generally a workable minimum for the average casual watcher if you have H265 compatible clients (and a decent encoder, like a modern intel CPU for example), 6 - 8mbit per client if its H264 only.
Remember that the bitrate to quality curve for live transcoding isn’t as good as a slow, non-real-time encode done the brute force way on a CPU. so if you have a few videos that look great at 4mbit, dont assume your own transcodes will look quite that nice, you’re using a GPU to get it done as quickly as possible, with acceptable quality, not as slowly and carefully as possible for the best compression.
I think a lot of people have facebook accounts but dont use it for facebook. Messenger, instagram, marketplace… I’d guess that most people using those services don’t actually “use facebook” and probably think they arent providing profitable data to meta by using those services.
