  • I have a NAS with 2.2GHz quad-core, 8GB RAM running plex.

    So far my record was 7 simultaneous remote streams (I think 2 were transcodes, the rest direct play), which it handled fine. And going by CPU usage, it should be able to handle 5 transcoding sessions (1080p max) at once.

    Though, I usually run into bandwidth limits before I run into CPU limits (hopefully I’ll get fibre this year).








  • it was showing the name on the server as the long name with details instead of just the movie name.

    Yea, sounds it couldn’t match the movie. But in my expirence that rarley happens and I only rename files when a matching issue occures.

    I’ve tried seeding the renamed files through the torrent but it seems since the movie names didn’t match it would start trying to download again

    Another option would be to create a hardlink from the torrent folder to your library folder. That way you can have two completely independent filenames.

    Personally I’m more on the paranoid side, so I went with raid 6 and a hot spare. So in case of failure I can rebuild one disk immediately and not having to buy one first. But so far I’ve never had a disk failure.

    In addition I was thinking of having the 8TB HDD as a standalone to backup the documents and maybe the photos and the docker setups.

    That is a very good idea. I also can’t quite afford to backup my main storage of movies/shows, but at least all the important personal documents (and my music) is properly backed up.



  • that’s only because we had an organized server that had a list of who was next in line to get HWL

    Honestly, I loved that kind of meta gaming, all the backdoor deals, even across factions. The drama when some group wouldn’t honour the list or agreements (Been on both sides of it).

    I made rank 13, luckily I already had a better weapon from raiding, so I could skip the last one. Good times.


  • 2 of those years were after I finished school and was just living rent free at home and gaming full time. During that time it was easly more then 12h a day. Though, a lot of that was just being logged in and idle while chatting on teamspeak or doing administrative work for the guild (we ran our own webserver out of a friends house for our forum/dkp system, etc). That’s how I learned programming.

    There was also some account sharing, which was literally required to get to the top of the vanialla PvP ranking. Games were built different back then.
