Same thing happened to me. My comment was “kid deserved it” on a video where, at school a kid called a teacher the n-word and then squared up to fight him. The teacher punched the kid in the face.

That was my comment and there were others saying pretty much the same thing both above and below my comment. 10,000 karma gone.

I’ve been banned from subs before but never from the whole site. Interestingly that was not my only account banned. My main account (which I never post on) was also banned and when I made a new account, that was banned as well.

My theory is that someone flagged me for something and then went to all my posts and also flagged them and a limit was reached that just autobans site wide. That’s the theory anyway.

The funny thing is that all my comments are pretty benign and I actively fight against racism and bigotry on Reddit. I was one of the good guys!

I liked the ones that had fm receivers in them and if you plugged in a pair of headphones they would act as the antenna and you could listen to local Radio stations.

Unfortunately that burning is going to cause the loss of unfathomable amounts of lives, mostly historically marginalized communities, including women. Probably especially women.

Not all republicans are nazi or far right. That may be a small percentage of the republican voters.

Hey looking back through my setup I realized I have something a little different. I have my htpc with hdmi going to my tv and then toslink (optical) audio feeding my surround sound.

It looks like to get my setup work had to install a custom audio driver. It’s called “aaf Optimus” which allows me to select Dolby digital as an option under “default format” in the audio properties menu.

Not sure this applies to you as my setup is kind of convoluted. Anyways when I watch YouTube the sound is just plain 2 channel audio and when I play something from Netflix it does pass through surround. Games are also in surround sound.

Just wanted to double check everything and give you a heads up. Good luck.

There are 2 versions of plex. One is just called plex and you can use your mouse. The other is called plexHTPC and it uses arrow keys and spacebar to select content. It took me a while to figure out that there are 2 different versions out there. The htpc one does ac3 pass through just fine.

Yeah basically. The point is you will never be able to make a real clean room in your home. This gets you 90% of the way there for a tiny bit of time and only takes a few minutes to get going.

Oh this gave me an idea. Kiddie pool, tons of epsom salt, filled with warm water and a souse vide machine to keep the water warm.

Do it! Yeah start with the mother board and see what happens and then open the fucker up and replace the try to move the platters to working drive. You don’t have anything to lose so why not. For a quick and dirty clean room run the shower really hot for a few minutes to make a bunch of steam and then wait for the humidity to naturally equalize, boom you got a few minutes to do your swap job.

Should be fine. Think of all the usb storage devices like senate and western digital. They all operate with a very similar adapter. The firmware on the drive should mark bad sectors not the interface that connects it.

And a trillion seconds is 31,688 years

Put the nas and router where the internet comes in at and the just use WiFi for your office and the rest of the house. Thats what 99% of the people do. All the new WiFi routers are really efficient at beam forming and other technologies to get you a decent signal.

At my house, since it is raised up I was able to crawl under and run Ethernet to the living room for the htpc(gaming) computer and it was pretty easy to install a keystone next to a power outlet. Not sure if that is viable in your situation.

But even then I didn’t bother running Ethernet to all the rooms because even streaming 4k video is viable over WiFi. Though I understand it might not work so well if trying to edit on a nas or something similar.

I use 2 of these 5tb ones for my nas and have been very reliable. https://www.seagate.com/products/external-hard-drives/portable-drive/

I have a few more that I was using for games and am happy. It’s not ideal but it is what works for me.

If your power is expensive then go with raspi/nas/mini pc/laptop route. My setup is raspi with 2 usb drives. Going on 5 years now with no problems. They only store media and I don’t care about backing them up.

Yeah it’s great the first time it works but then you have to spend 5 minutes looking for and assembling all the bits and pieces to set it up again.

What I said wasn’t zesty at all. The only thing I can think of is someone went to all my comments and reported me. I’ve been temp banned from communities before but never banned from Reddit and would never expect to get permanently banned from Reddit the site along with my other Reddit accounts.

Hi I’m new here. My friend has been trying to get me in for ages. The reason I am here is because my Reddit account of 10 years and one of 3 years got permabanned. And it was really for no reason. I tried to make a new account and that also got instantly permabanned. That’s when I found out that my 10year account also got banned. So yeah fuck what happened on Reddit.

I’m really liking lemmy and my iOS app (mlem) and enjoying the community. The only thing I miss from Reddit is the video integration.

I have this currently. Been running steady for 5 years now. I have 2 5tb portable hdds as my storage (usb3) and all the arrs, plex media server and qbittorrent with the vpn and a kill switch so if the vpn goes down the torrents aren’t running. Everything just works as long as nothing needs transcoded. My main tv is Roku and seems to handle all the file formats so it been working fine for me. YMMV.

Currently I am trying to learn docker and containerize all the different apps to make redeployment simpler.

I want to 2nd this. Lots of manual work because software (and you) can tag albums, folders, files incorrectly and have a mess on your hands.

I like software like “tagscanner” and even iTunes. Once the files have proper metadata then I use that data to rename the file/folder names.

See if any of them support ddwrt openwrt tomato router or just Linux in general. You probably couldn’t run plex media server, but you can do ad blocking, vpn server, and basic nas. Works great for these tasks.
