Interesting. I want to look just out of curiosity. Thanks.

It seems impossible to buy a dumb TV now adays. The second best thing is to just opt out of the smart TV features of your TV, then buy yourself a reputable android TV box.

My main PC is my first ever Intel NUC and I just bought it a couple months ago. I love it. Sad to see them go.

Btrfs because I’ve had constant issues with zfs in multiple different times.

Everyone praises zfs so I’m sure it’s something I’m missing, but I’ve had very little issue with btrfs, other than it’s incomplete feature set.

It won’t replace RAM speeds, but it’s supposed to be significantly faster. Caveat is that it’s not functioning like optane memory is supposed to, I just opted to make the whole drive partition swap, since it was simpler to do.

I never have used a significant amount of my RAM to warrant heavy swap usage though. Swappiness is at its default 60.

I’m running my instance as a containerized app on an i9-12900H, 64gb ddr4 ram, a 128gb Intel optane as a swap drive (my mobo maxes out at 64gb ram), and on a SATA SSD. My bottleneck is my internet which is stuck on 5g home internet. Serving. Any service behind cgnat has been a challenge, but thanks to zero tier and a vps reverse proxy, it’s been possible.

Thank you:) I also bought astralkeep.com because I couldn’t decide which one to use lol

An easy way to set it up is find any old PC or Android device, hook up your hard drive to it in any way, download the Plex server application on your chosen platform (Linux, windows, whatever), and just run with it.

If you’re IT you’ll find it’s relatively easy to set up and get going.

You can make it as simple or complex as possible: android server, kubernetes, do an arr-stack, add tautulli, etc.

Thank you, I’ll follow this advice next time it decides to cut the internet off.

I do have nameservers (8.8.8.8 being one of them) set in my Netplan config, if that counts.

Thank you for this sweet tip! I’ll definitely be using this.

Good idea. I’ll check that

tbf i’m using ubuntu server because I’ve been using it on and off for a decade. Overall I’ve had no major issues. And its long-term support is one of the longest.

There’s the thought of going RHEL-based which I have experience with from work too, so that is an option in the long run.

I was thinking of something like a local script to reboot the PC once internet isn’t reachable after 5 min or so, but only as a stopgap/workaround until I figure out the issue.

Thanks I’ll give that a shot! I was thinking about using a solution with my VPS, but I may go this route.

Unfortunately not. It’s really exposing my need for a health monitoring service like TIG stack or something equivalent.

Thank you I’ll do that! It’s hard to catch exactly when it happens. I think I need to get some monitoring and alert services up and running

Thanks for the suggestion. So I have the static IP assigned with DHCP disabled both through Netplan, not through the router.

I’ll remember to check the Netplann (?) journal/logs around that time, or are you referring to dmesg?
