Appreciate it! I’ll play around with the configuration and see what works. Initially I had a really fun (/s) time with permissions on folders that were accessed by multiple containers (could write to one folder but not read it with Plex, for example) so I’m going to phase it in incrementally, hopefully without breaking my current setup.

Maybe this is an incredibly dumb question, but I was actually doing research on a very similar question to the OP and I still don’t really have a definitive answer.

I currently have a series of docker containers running Plex and the full *arr setup on the Linux drive of my PC. Because I dual boot my machine, I want to migrate my server to a NAS so I don’t shut it down whenever I switch from Linux to Windows. I’m seeing that I could theoretically use a NAS just for the media storage and keep all the transcoding (ie all of the docker containers with sonarr, radarr etc) on the existing Linux drive. However, would the Plex container live on the NAS or the Linux drive? I’d assume the NAS…?

Same. I tried to quit (and even deleted my account) but realized that the Lemmy equivalent of my home city community isn’t yet on here (and there’s also a buy nothing subreddit that’s been helpful for getting baby stuff). I use RedReader and I’m only subscribed to three local subreddits.

I’ll have to check the box but I’m pretty sure that’s what I bought. The fact that this is even an option is pretty exciting. Would I be able to include Adguard if you can push apks to it? (Would it even be worth it?)

My daughter is 2 months old so she’s not mobile yet, but this is definitely something I’m dreading in the future lol. Right now all I have to worry about is being woken up by her fussing in her sleep every half hour (she sleeps in a bassinet at the foot of the bed), but we’ve gotten better at discerning what merits actually getting up vs letting her self-soothe.

To answer the original question, though, having a child will train you to be able to wake up in a matter of seconds…

Huh. Didn’t know you could do that to a Chromecast! Do you do it using adb?

I don’t know if it’s because this variant has milder symptoms or because I was boosted in October, but I got COVID in November and felt almost nothing besides mild irritating cold-like symptoms. I do suspect that the booster helped though because a friend who hasn’t yet gotten a booster got sick around the same time and felt a lot worse.

We bought our 1800 sqft house in Sacramento for almost 600k 2 years ago, when it was worth less than half that the last time it was appraised in 2008. We were at least fortunate enough to get a 30 year loan at 3.3% but we will NEVER see property taxes as low as many of our neighbors who have lived there for 20+ years.

My parents are selling their house in a couple of years in order to move closer to us. They’ll easily get over a million for it and then they’ll turn around and use that money to buy a house for 500k in cash. Yeah, they’ll take a hit in taxes but they will still have plenty left for buying the new house outright (so no mortgage), plus doing some additional renovations that my dad wants to do in order to have his dream kitchen.

I don’t have suggestions as to the location of the commercial space (I’d tentatively suggest Arden Arcade, but definitely scout about because some areas are super sketch), but the comment re traffic is spot on. Wherever the office ends up, try to find housing nearby if you don’t want to be stuck in traffic for an hour or more trying to get home (when it would take 20 minutes at other times of the day). Light rail can be an alternate option to driving if you’re lucky on the start/end points of your commute.

You can choose from a whole variety of housing experiences in the Sacramento metro area, from apartments in the middle of downtown to houses on the outskirts of downtown to living outside of the grid entirely in the suburbs. Heck, one of my coworkers chose to skip the city entirely and buy an old farmhouse 45 minutes away in a more rural area.

With a kid, I’d definitely do your research about schools in the area, as there are a few to choose from. Elk Grove school district is excellent, Sac Unified not so much (although it will vary from school to school). There are others too that I don’t know very much about. Fair Oaks had some controversy regarding a racist homecoming float. Rocklin passed a policy requiring teachers to notify parents if students are using pronouns/names different from what’s on their birth certificate.

I’ve noticed this! It’s been impossible to find in most stores. I got lucky at Smart and Final.

I use Copy Me That because it’s easy to quickly save recipes from the phone without having to do any formatting, but I’ve now run into an issue of having too many recipes that I’ve never actually made lol.

I think I might try to use one of the other methods mentioned here to collate my tried and true recipes into a digital cookbook and continue to use the app for archiving things to try.

I’m not seeing Foyle’s War listed anywhere here, so I’ll throw that one in. Murder mysteries in Blitz-era England.

I actually grew up on a good version of tuna casserole. We never used the condensed soup or potato sticks, we made a bechamel and topped the dish with parmesan and breadcrumbs. My parents did some weird things when trying to use up leftovers, but I will give them credit for refusing to use the canned/premade versions of a lot of things.

Omg you just made my day! I read the Aeronaut’s Windlass not knowing that he’d taken a long hiatus, and was bummed at the thought that I might have to wait a few years or more for the next one (looking at you, Rothfuss and Martin). Gonna check now to see if my library has this one in stock.

Honestly moisture sensors would be nice to have later, but you don’t need to start with that. A smart irrigation timer from companies like Rachio will be just fine for the begining. It adjust the watering schedule based on current weather conditions so you don’t have to make manual changes from season to season.
