re: PLEX Servers

That's right. Remote access requires the host to have Plex Pass or the user needs Remote Watch Pass. That change happened maybe six months ago. I switched to Jellyfin for that reason.

That's a hot take. CyberSecure is a Proofpoint ET Pro IDS/IPS rules subset with Cloudflare content filtering. That's good value for $100/yr. You're going to pay $800/yr for that through OPNsense.

What's your plan for this 42U server rack? In your other thread, you're looking at a desktop NAS. As Blue pointed out, you can fit a lot of storage and compute in a 2U server. Maybe it's a good time to consolidate rather than expand.
Congrats Ole Miss. Best game of the playoffs. Hope y'all win it all.

Anyway. Anybody know what Dave’s beef with Maher is?


At the Riyadh Comedy Festival in Saudi Arabia, Dave joked that “it’s easier to talk here than it is in America,” implying he faced fewer limits on controversial material there than in the U.S. Maher quipping that if Chappelle believed Saudi Arabia had more free speech, he should try doing a bit about Muhammad there.
Good. If any of us intentionally elbow a cop in the chest, we are catching a felony assult charge and going to prison.

Texas's Top 10% rule requires public universities like Texas A&M to automatically admit in-state high school graduates in the top 10% of their class. With about 400,000 annual high school graduates in Texas, this yields roughly 40,000 auto-eligible students. The policy fills most spots with Texans before out-of-state applicants can be considered.

Not a Vivobook, but I installed Windows on a some Asus NUCs a few weeks ago. I used the Asus Download Center to download the driver package for my specific model. I installed Windows then installed the driver pack from Asus.

You don't have to hunt for specific drivers. Asus has already assembled them for you. If you're worried about bloatware, just have Windows search the driver pack for missing drivers.

The Pixel call screening feature is a must have for me.
As an introvert myself, I think Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking would be a brilliant selection for both you and your daughter. It could spark some really helpful conversations about how you both see the world.
