Thanks for the tip. My ISP only offers static IPs for the business tier, but I’ll ask about ipv4.

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?
Ah, okay. Thanks for the clarification.
Thanks for the concise reply!
-Streaming quality is set to original on every device I use to access Plex.
-I still get confused about open ports, but I’ll check again and make sure it’s not running through relay.
-I believe the hardware should be fast enough to transcode at least a couple streams, but I’ll check again.
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.
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.)
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.
These are excellent ideas to test where the bottleneck is. Thank you very much.
Thank you for this. I’ll check my port forwarding on my router (Google Nest WiFi).
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.
I tested between 800-900Mbps UP, closer to a full gig down.
Shoot! Enshittification strikes again. Well good luck. Hopefully my tips can be useful anyway.
I’ve been using Splitwise for years with my friends and my partner. It has a “simplify group debts” feature that gets everyone paid in as few transactions as possible. If Adam owes Eve $5 and Eve owes Seth $5, Splitwise just tells Adam to pay Seth. I pay for premium, which has some nice features like currency conversion and receipt scanning. Regardless of which app you use, I have a couple tips.
First, discuss ahead of time which expenses you’ll be adding to the group expenses. On a cabin trip last summer, one friend brought $100+ worth of liquor, but only one or two people drank it. Several of us were annoyed at having to pay him back for something we didn’t use.
Second, at the end of your trip you’ll “settle up” by having the people who paid less reimburse the people who paid more. Wait a few days after the trip for everyone to add any final expenses. Sometimes people settle up prematurely, and then someone realizes they forgot to add a dinner that they paid for. This makes it confusing and creates a bunch of extra Venmo transactions. Just wait.
I’ve been using it for almost 10 years. I consider any new phone unusable until Action Launcher is installed.

I’m not arguing that the drug schedules are legitimate. Clearly having weed and heroin in the same category is ludicrous. I’m arguing that the authors use of “controlled substances” is technically true but a little dramatic as modafinil is schedule IV. I’ve been prescribed both modafinil and Adderall, and I can say that modafinil does not act or feel like a stimulant, and it’s not habit-forming.
“Stop thinking that” is a pretty harmless colloquialism.
I just want to note that they’re referring to modafinil/Provigil as a controlled substance and a stimulant. It’s technically a controlled substance, but it’s Schedule IV (low priority, low chance of abuse) whereas Adderall is Schedule II. It’s also not a stimulant, but some people would say it’s better because it doesn’t have the teeth-grindy, methy feeling that many stimulants do. Modafinil “promotes wakefulness” but doesn’t prevent sleep. So you can imagine people taking it to stay awake for long hours working, but they won’t be pacing around or talking rapidly like with some stimulants.
The medical unit was still irresponsible in prescribing meds without proper record-keeping and evaluation, but I wanted to clarify about modafinil specifically.
The prices are ludicrous.
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.
