I forgot to mention it in my previous comment, but the Arc also supports AV1, which is a newer codec with better compression. With Nvidia, it's much more expensive to get the same, as you need at least the RTX 40 series to get AV1 encoding and decoding.

If you just want it for transcoding, it's worth considering a Sparkle Intel Arc A310 ECO if they're ever available near MSRP again. $100 MSRP but sometimes you could find them on sale for $75-80 before the AI-pocalypse. Low power (50W TDP, only a 350W power supply required), single slot, single fan, and does a fantastic job transcoding.

I'd definitely recommend Watch Dogs 2. Really great game. There's positives and negatives of both games. It's worth playing and seeing which one you like more :) 

I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and WD2 has the most realistic depiction of San Francisco that I've seen in a game. 

I know this is a controversial opinion, but I kinda liked Legion as well. Definitely nowhere near as good as the first two games, but I still enjoyed playing it. 

Upgrade your 486 to something newer. 

Yeah, same, but I'm wondering if something is misconfigured and it's transcoding when it doesn't need to. I don't have much experience with Jellyfin, but I do use Plex and have all my devices at home set to play in original quality to avoid transcoding.  

1660 super doesn't support encoding or decoding AV1 but maybe that's not an issue for you?

I was going to suggest adding an Intel Arc A310 GPU, but they're way more expensive than they used to be. Low power, single slot GPU that's very good at transcoding and supports encode and decode of modern codecs like H265 and AV1. MSRP $99 and they used to sell for less than that, but they're not anywhere near those prices any more :/

The A310 also handles AV1 encoding and decoding! To get that with Nvidia, you'd need an RTX 40 series or higher.

It's not cheap any more though! MSRP $99 and used to be $75 on sale, but I'm seeing people selling it for over $300 now.

Also if you're just streaming at home, you shouldn't even need to transcode. It's only needed when the client can't handle the file (unsupported codec, bitrate too high, etc) or you have bandwidth limitations (like you have low upload bandwidth and are streaming when away from home).

Not possible in all cases. Some people still record TV shows from an antenna... I record the local news and a few local shows. You don't get a choice in that case - it's always MPEG2.

Some people also might want to keep Blu ray rips in original quality in cold storage eventually, but get a separate automatically transcoded version of it before moving to cold storage.

It should link to RFC3339 because that's what most people actually want: https://ijmacd.github.io/rfc3339-iso8601/

Mass scanning tools use a completely random order for both the IP and the port. They don't scan all ports for a particular IP at the same time.  IPS might not always   pick up on it if the port scans are spread across a longer period of time in a random order. 

This is also valid under ISO8601. The two valid formats for dates containing year, month, and day are  YYYY-MM-DD and YYYYMMDD. 

Technically IPv4 addresses are 32-bit numbers, like 168496141. Writing it as four octets separated by dots is just to make it easier for humans to read. 

It doesn't actually obscure the service though, since some headers in the response say that it's Plex. 

I used Airbnb when I moved from Australia to the USA (San Francisco Bay Area) in the early 2010s. I didn't know the area well and stayed with a guy that had a spare bedroom. He helped me get familiar with a new country and and gave some suggestions on areas to live, things to do before starting work, etc. 

It's a classic! I think I first saw it maybe 15 years ago, but I still go back and rewatch it every so often. There's a few other videos in the series. 

Unraid doesn't use Node. 

The other change with Docker is that containers randomize their MAC addresses on startup now. If you have the MAC addresses hard-coded anywhere (like on DHCP servers), you'll want to get a list of all the current MAC addresses, and edit the containers to explicitly set them. 

Unraid itself doesn't use Node.js.

Some of your Docker containers, VMs or LXC containers might, but it's up to the person that builds the image (for Docker containers) or you (for VMs and LXCs) to update those. 

If you don't want to be in the hospitality business, get off Airbnb and sell the house to someone that actually needs it. It's as simple as that. By hosting on Airbnb, you're signing up for standard things like keeping the rental property clean. That's just part of the job.  

Or, make guests do some things to clean up, but then don't charge a cleaning fee. You can't have it both ways.

The world would be better off if there were fewer people that saw housing as passive income. Getting real tired of people that hoard properties and then complain when they have to do actual work.

Edit: also I miss the original Airbnb, when people just used it to rent out their spare bedrooms (or even just an air mattress in the living room, which is where the name "Airbnb" came from). It was a great idea back then. Gave people a place to stay with someone local, much cheaper, and didn't impact the local housing supply. 

OK but if I do all the cleaning, why should I then also have to pay a cleaning fee?

It's not the programming language that's an issue, it's the fact that they're mostly built for small groups of users to use, not to be exposed to the internet.

True -arrs are C# anyways. I'm an arr purist lol.

Port change does practically nothing these days. Tools like masscan can scan all ports across all public IPv4 addresses in less than 15 minutes.
