  • Thanks for the suggestions.

    I should add… I’m currently only using Direct Play at home and then I download to a iOS device on occasion for trips. I recently turned off the remote access in Plex because I figured it wasn’t the most secure option. I’m trying to stream 4K over the WireGuard and it’s struggling, probably because it’s on the router. So I think a LXC for WireGuard is the way to go with the current setup and potentially the future hardware as well. No one else is accessing it right now and don’t know if that will change any time soon.

    I was thinking about Quicksync and maybe going for a 11th or 12th gen Intel, but now I’m starting to think this is redundant if I’m not sharing Plex with others.

    Definitely wanting to avoid a HBA card and looking at a tower with SATA. What are your thoughts on older hardware with DDR4 and no ECC for a NAS? I feel like everyone has different opinions!

    Also any suggestions on hardware to test power consumption?






  • Thank you! This is super helpful to know, I’ve got “Wait!” on, it’s the knowing “who can do what when” that I’m not in the “flow” of yet, but I’m sure it’ll click soon.

    I’ve avoided guides outside of getting stuck (didn’t see the Arris Dome ladder and had to look it up) and I’d like to keep it that way outside of unlocking some cool weapons/items later.

    Any recommendations on when I should focus on grinding and what special mid/late game items I should look up guides for? I’m about to go to Site 32 and can’t decide if I should be grinding much or just pushing through with the story. Good call on the chests, but I doubt I’ll be able to stay on top of remembering that!






  • Gonna be following this posts comments for some tips! I’m running Proxmox on an old 2012 Mac Mini which I’ve Frankenstein’d with an SSD and RAM as much as I can, the NIC is dead and I’ve resorted to USB Ethernet. I’ve not messed with exposing my server externally, I’m intrigued but also have a router with OVPN VPN network capability. I use a LXC for Plex (Debian) and a VM (Debian again) with Docker installed. Docker runs Haugene (look it up for VPN torrents), Screeps server and WikiJS. I have a Raspberry Pi 3B running PiHole, might set it up as a backup and use the Proxmox server as the primary. But I’m definitely ready for new hardware soon and I’d like to look into NAS storage, right now I’m using a rather sketch 4TB external USB drive for media (shit I don’t care about).







  • Do you use the yellow flame or a torch flame zippo insert? I’ve got an old zippo case from college that I can use, so I might order the insert and try it. It’s a little frustrating you have to buy a full Zippo for a specific case style and can’t order it with a specific insert like the torch flame. But this might be the way I go! Don’t know if I can use the wick with it in some way.
