I recently got a Therapod chair and it's the greatest thing I've ever sat in. It has adjustable tension straps built in so you can make the lumbar support exactly where you need it.
Hey all, I'm very new to self-hosting and have no background in anything computer-related. I'll explain in as much detail as I can. I'm running Plex on a Synology DS220+. I'm using the Plex app, i.e. not using Docker (see note below)....
Ah, Plex suggested I might be double-natted. Since fiber doesn't need a modem (from my understanding) I have: fiber cable to box, box Ethernet to router, router ethernet to NAS. Maybe it would be better if I did box directly to NAS? Or would that put it on a separate network? I'll look into your double-nat solution. Thank you.
Unfortunately I'm using Nest WiFi and it doesn't have QoS settings. You're making me consider buying a new mesh router system because Nest also doesn't have manual band selection, which I need for some IoT devices.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I pay for a static IP through my VPN provider, and I've wondered if there would be a benefit to running my server through the static IP, then using the same IP to access the server remotely. (Not sure if I'm describing that correctly.)
Remote access is enabled but whether I'm actually able to access the server or library remotely is intermittent. Plex says I may be double-natted but I was pretty sure I'm not. I'll have to investigate again.
I'm sorry, I'm not knowledgeable enough to answer this. Should my router be bound to a certain IP? I believe it has an assigned local IP, but does it also have a public one?
This is good to look into. I've tried remote streaming on several different devices. Before I bought the NAS I was sure it could handle a few streams, but maybe I was wrong.
There are a few spots I've neglected to replace old brittle sealant (around the kitchen sink) or never sealed at all (new faucet I installed 8 months ago). Now there's black gunk accruing under and around the sealant....
Check out the story of John Chau. He spent a year planning and preparing to be the first missionary to visit the North Sentinelese, a virtually uncontacted people. During his first couple (illegal) attempts, they shot arrows at him. He visited again and they killed him.
I was thinking about how I missed having an indoor thermometer that measures humidity. It's such a small specific thing, one I'd never think of getting unless pushed to it (which I was by one particularly dry winter). But I like having one now....
I got a set of metal picks from Harbor Freight for like 3 bucks. They're similar to the pick tool that a dental hygienist uses. I use these things nearly every day to scrape stuff out of a crevice, retrieve something out of a narrow hole, pull stuff out of a tube or straw, precision clean corners of things, etc. I love them.
You can't speculate about someone else's identity. If Conchita identifies themselves as nonbinary, then they're nonbinary. (I've never heard of this person, so I don't know if they do or not.) Identifying as NB is like saying, "I see the two options that society is offering me, and neither of them neatly describe how I feel inside." Some cultures refer to a nonbinary "third gender" while others see that as just creating another box to limit people's options for how they identify and express themselves.
It's okay if you think that drag queens could be referred to as NB, but they don't fit the typical definition.

How I Built This is a good one. It's an NPR podcast where they interview successful entrepreneurs and inventors about how they started their companies, what they would have done differently, etc.
Ah, I missed that in your original post. TBH it's not one I would put on myself, but my partner likes it and some of the episodes have actually been super interesting. Specifically I remember the James Dyson episode being good. But I agree about your post calling it a 50-minute promo. The ads get super annoying, but the stories are good.
I'm upvoting you not because I'm a fan of Huberman. I listened to half an episode and it didn't grab me. I'm upvoting because you're asking sincere questions and so far (only 2 responses) you haven't gotten an answer.
Talk to a stranger. At the park, at the bus stop, at the dog park. Doesn't matter what we talk about, it just feels good to connect and it takes my mind off my own bullshit.
I'm surprised about Indiana Jones. It was my favorite of all the movies. Back to OG story with Greek history, Nazis, and a little supernatural stuff. I watched it twice.

IMO Usenet is worth the cost. It's a different process than torrenting, with some extra steps, but once you wrap your head around it it's fairly simple. Depending on the indexer you use, Usenet can be much better organized and easier to find what you're looking for.
