Note that Plex is against Cloudflare’s ToS. No guarantee they will terminate your account, but it’s a risk.

Could also consider Tailscale.

They sent me an email saying my account was idle (an always on Wireguard for Plex).

I converted to the Pay As You Go plan, and I was good. And it was still free.

Probably why they’re sending out emails right now saying they’re transitioning to mandatory 2FA…

Probably.

Though it was the official Mastodon container, and not a third party.

If you do use Docker, Mastodon seems to be a prime example of where you shouldn’t use the : latest tag and autoupdate with something like Watchtower.

I initially installed with :latest a few days ago and it gave me 4.1.3 (the actual latest version had been 4.1.4 for quite awhile at that point). I saw other people mention that they “updated” to a 3.x release via :latest recently.

Rsnapshot to an external USB drive.

Probably not the best, but it works for my little 6TB OpenMediaVault server with some Docker thrown in.

Not a huge deal for watching h265, since Plex still just transcodes to h264 (if it ever needs to transcode).

But it’s nice if you use something like tDarr to convert your h264s to h265.

But, just the overall improvement in speed/quality is nice when you jump up a generation in QuickSync.

7th-9th Gen uses a newer version of QuickSync than 6th gen had, which adds h265 encoding and better overall image quality.

I’d lean toward one of the 7th gen CPUs if you’re using Plex.

Responsiveness is significantly better than it has been at any point since Friday’s Reddit exodus.

Well done…

I’d been floating a similar idea for MAME arcade high scores.

Currently, when I play a game on my arcade cabinet, the marquee image gets a date and the game’s name stamped on it by ImageMagick, then gets uploaded so it can display on my blog. (yes – I haven’t played since March… I should really play on my cab more)

I kind of wanted to automate a high score list on my blog. Though I’m fairly sure that’s going to be considerably more work.

Imgur is preparing to wipe old uploads that aren’t linked to an account…

In my case, that’s pretty much every image I ever uploaded to Reddit using Sync for Reddit.

I won’t lie… their prices actually don’t look half bad. Dot com is ten bucks a year instead of the $14 I’m giving Namecheap…

It just takes a really long time to restore from those backups. And weirdly, they’re scattered all over the place…

Truthfully, you really only need Intel 7th gen or higher.

The renewals… That’s where they getcha…

Get yourself a list of subscribed communities and stick to that view, and it’ll even out. A lot of people here today have Reddit & Twitter on the brain, and everyone is racing to post the same 2-3 stories…

Same. Given that Connect and Wefwef are able to log in, I’m chalking this is as a Jerboa problem.

(I do hope they fix it, though, because right now Jerboa is the only app that lets me add images to comments without doing some manual Imgur raindance. That or Connect adds comment image functionality and I can dump Jerboa.)

Apollo also got nuked yesterday, and the dev specifically said Reddit did it and not him. (And he also said it would’ve been nice if Reddit told them what time it’d happen)

I can feel the heat off those servers from here.

The Reddit users seem to be wasting no time jumping over to Lemmy, now that their apps just got the boot.

Now the question is: how many will stick around?

Welp, I did it. One nice thing is that Cloudflare has an official WordPress plugin that applies recommended security settings.

I will note that WordPress does not take kindly to being setup on http localhost, then put into a Cloudflare Tunnel. It goes into a redirect hell that I wasn’t able to figure out. You basically need to setup the tunnel, then run the WordPress install script from scratch.

Exporting from http localhost to your URL on Cloudflare is also not fun. The import process fails at pulling in your photos. Luckily, my blog was mostly empty, so manually re-adding the media to the posts didn’t kill me.
