re: PLEX Servers
Posted by LSshoe on 1/17/26 at 12:08 pm to GeneralLeeAwesome
Oh man selfhosting (if you're into such things) is good stuff. I often call it my digital ant farm. Half of the fun is setting it up and tinkering with it. The benefit of this hobby is that you get functional and useful services as an output. Look into proxmox. In layman's terms its a way to split your hardware into multiple servers so you can do multiple different things. In technical terms it's a free and open source hypervisor you can spin up VMs and containers and also easily join multiple computers together so you can move those VMs around. My "main" box is basically an old desktop computer, but its probably at least 8yo. The other two nodes in my cluster are little tiny micro pcs I basically saved from a trash bin. If you're careful with your resource allocation you can do a lot with old hardware.

You don't technically need strong hardware to run a plex server, especially if you're only streaming locally and only to one or two devices. The main thing is you either need a CPU that supports quicksync or a gpu/graphics card that can handle encoding. And of course you need to configure plex to utilize that. There are a number of reasons that you'd need to encode the video on the fly and if your plex server can't do so fast enough, that may cause your stuck buffering. Note that the client/ device you're streaming to can have a significant effect on how well the stream plays too.
My reccomendation is to set up tailscale or something similar so you can connect to it regardless of where it or you are.

I have my own plex server that I use fairly extensively, though I dont have that much time to watch tv generally. My collection is mostly a curated cache of stuff Ive been hoarding starting probably 20 years that I still add stuff to as i get an envie for this or that. I also collect LSU highlight videos.

re: LSU Football’s future recruiting pipeline - Establishing our next Dynasty

What you're proposing, strictly speaking, isn't ever going to work. However I could definitely see some larger schools developing more informal relationships where for example we, hypothetically speaking, would encourage a promising but project type high school player to sign with a smaller school we have a good relationship with (and that has a good coaching staff) to play and develop for a year or two and then pull them in once they've grown, developed and gotten experience. Theoretically the smaller school would benefit from potentially recruiting above their weight class so it could be a mutually beneficial relationship.
Even that seems unlikely, but your highly structured "farm system" idea is pretty far fetched

While I will also say that UCLA didn't particularly impress me the games I watched them in the CWS at least compared to the hype they were given, they were fairly young and return almost everything so that combined with their schedule makes them a shoo in for a national seed and probable for Omaha. That alone gives them pretty damn good odds to win it all.
All that being said yall got me jazzed up on baseball hype. I just had to go watch a couple of Omaha wheels highlight vids and I'm ready for this season.

re: Did we even throw 1 WR screen last night?

a single behind the LOS throw.
There were several, including one when we absolutely needed to push the ball downfield on our last drive. But less than normal, so there's that. The middle screens we ran earlier in the game actually worked pretty well, though i feel like those have generally worked for us when we could properly execute them.
We got worked in the trenches on both sides. The coverage wasn't great on d but i think a lot of guys were playing in roles they weren't accustomed to due to all the missing starters. This part I think will be helpful for development for next year at least. But in any case the d line couldn't get a push and even blitzes failed to get home, so the coverage was bound to get picked apart and they did. The o line has gotten wrecked all season so thats not really a surprise there. The d line has at least played pretty well during the season so thats the real head scratcher through all of this. Then again the d line coach opted out and the dc was contemplating a departure leading up to the game so maybe it shouldn't be as surprising as it was.
Baker is really good. Overrated perhaps, and definitely with his holes. Also think he's overpaid at this point, but i like having some continuity on the competent side of the ball which is also typically lanes deficiency. I have a feeling baker is going to be gone next year regardless, I think we just convinced him to stick around for a year to help us to get the program back on stable footing.

I might just have to turn this off and go to bed for the sake of the tigers. Ive missed all of our touchdowns, but ive caught all of houstons and our missed field goal. I step away after our turnover and we've got the ball back.
We do chicken stew often. Shrimp stew and sauce piquant a bit less so but all 3 are easy winners. I try to keep jars on hand for easy weeknight meals. The garlic sauce stuff good for adding to liquid based dishes too. Ive never actually marinated anything with it. The rest of my family don't like heat so I havent tried the spaghetti yet but I hear from lots of folks that its good.
My kids are older now but when they were younger I definitely hit up that one on sherwood at least half a dozen times. If im being honest I can't recall what the hell even for. I don't think it's a Baton Rouge specific problem though.

Indeed. You can tell I'm a diehard fan.
I did almost get a ticket to the game this year. Kid of a family friend is a midshipman. Would have been awesome, but alas it will have to remain on the bucket list

Posted by LSshoe on 12/13/25 at 12:51 pm to namvet6566
Anchors away is a great fight song. I used to play with navy in old ncaa games so I could jam every time I scored and running triple option was fun.
It did seem most of the transfers that he brought in were all hype but little substance. Daniels was an obvious jackpot and he deserves credit for that, but who would be the second biggest transfer get?
re: Lane Kiffin's best class at Ole Miss vs his first (so far) at LSU
Posted by LSshoe on 12/6/25 at 4:29 am to Tigers4Lyfe
I think that's the point though. This class is coming in with him on the job for less than a week following a coach who got canned mid-season. It's speaking to the potential once his staff gets established.

I like how he has a new drink in basically every cut.
Good eats is great stuff. I still go back and randomly watch on occasion. I never got to watch the new season of good eats because I don't have cable. Is it available on any streaming platform?

Local farm fresh produce deliveries
Posted by LSshoe on 11/4/25 at 3:46 pm
Are there any BR area farms that do a seasonal produce delivery service type thing? I was listening to a podcast or something earlier and a person mentioned they had that going wherever it was they were and I thought it was an interesting concept. I forget the actual cadence they said but it was something like once a month or quarterly i think. Im not much for subscription services, but depending on how it would be set up (and if exists) this might be one that I would actually utilize. Im sure there is a national service that does this but I'm looking for something relatively local.
If he wins out in reg season its not an absolute foregone conclusion that we'd miss the playoffs. If the man wins out on the way to an NC he would have absolutely earned the job and anyone arguing any differently is a fool. That being said there is almost no chance of this actually happening. 3-1 would be respectable and at least get him legitimately into the conversation at the end of the year, but I don't think it would get him the job.
Two shitty runs on that drive. Come on man.

I do wonder if the injury last season has Durham a step slower this season. Or maybe they bulked him up to be the main back during the off season? He's definitely slower than last year.
