If this is all happening wirelessly, that could be your problem. Looks like you have a 4g modem with a built in router. Is anything in the aar stack connected to the router through Ethernet, or is everything using WiFi? Try hooking the laptop up to one of the lan ports on the back of your router, see if that helps things.

Could also just be all the aar apps doing their thing for the first time, pulling from databases, downloading cover art, etc. once your library is all set up, they should calm down. Only way to really check this is to log into your router and see who the loudest talker is.

Watch some YouTube channels like Jeff Geerling or Hardware Haven. They along with others, made the daunting task or self hosting manageable for me. Great tips with helpful pointers, and they lay things out fairly well, on their videos and their websites.

Hopping in here to mention Proxmox Helper Scripts . They have many scripts that help you set up LXCs with software you may be using, including the full aar stack.

I tend to test things in a dedicated new VM, to get a feel for it, make sure I need to add it to my permanent services. If it does, I try to find a way to run it via LXC, and if that is too complicated/won’t work, I have a dedicated docker VM I throw it on. Everyone will answer the “LXC/VM/Docker” question differently, and they will all be correct. What is easiest for you is the right way.

I run a VM with opnsense as my network firewall. Moved it from a hardware install. I don’t see any issues, and there are loads of times it’s saved my ass having it backed up as a VM.

Slam as much ram as you can afford/fit inside the computer too. Every time I think I have enough, I always find I have need/use for more.

I use the caddy plugin in opnsense. Used nginx proxy manager from Proxmox helper scripts before that, which was relatively easy and helped me understand the whole proxy thing. Moved to caddy on opnsense a few months ago, just because, and have had no good reason to change yet.

Only Biden didn’t say in his election campaign that he would lower gas prices, where this orange turd made it a main theme.

What? Listen to you spout lies and hate from all the rooftops you could climb to? Go back to sleep troll.

I have that same thought, but then I think this is exactly how all the non-Jewish people felt as hitler was rising to power. I end up getting even more angry and looking up where to buy fertilizer.

Yet another reason to stop eating there

Sooooo, stop eating there? It’s expensive enough bowing to the grocery cartels, who can afford to eat out?

I currently use Bytestash. Used to use Obsidian, but the fact that all I have to do is pull up a webpage to copy and paste a command I need made ByteStash a better fit for me.

I’m trying to figure out what the ML does. I’m pretty sure it does image recognition and helps with searches. I don’t really need it, but I’ve got the graphics cards just sitting there not doing anything. I’ve also thought about splitting the Nvidia p4 in my main server, since it’s supported by grid, and that would solve my issue as well. We will see what I feel up to trying today.

Thank you. I knew I was overthinking it. I know I was being vague, wasn’t sure how much info is too much info when it comes to troubleshooting networking.

Ironic that those games popularized that stile of hood

Plex, unfortunately, is the best answer for this right now. Easiest to set up and maintain, the client apps are fine, you may have to fiddle with the Apple TV to be pain free though.

I have a few raspberry pi’s with kodi running and linked to my media served over nfs, which works well, just not as polished and fast as plex.

Personally, as soon as the Apple TV client gets fixed for Jellyfin, will probably drop plex altogether. The iOS app is stellar so not sure why it hasn’t been ported yet. I also have an easier time with my media playback with Jellyfin over plex, and you don’t need to pay for good hardware transcoding, it’s just the ui is so god awful!

Was the first car you drove a Lamborghini or an f1 car? K.I.S.S. Is definitely a good thing when learning. If it works and does what you need it to, then use it till you learned how it works and want to try the next challenge.

I thought whisper was hallucinating huge chunks of text in that medical transcription app. Is it more reliable with smaller chunks?

Would continually run into disconnect issues with Ubuntu and Debian with all my Bluetooth devices. Got tired of tinkering with it.

I gave up on Bluetooth and Linux, made sure the wireless peripherals I wanted had 2.4ghz dongles. Been using Logitech 2.4ghz lightspeed for a while. Dongle is plugged into a hub mounted under the desk. Use piper to get all my Logitech mouse features. No complaints.
