For many people it's the one day of the year they feel special. I think we all deserve that, and it costs me nothing to wish someone a happy birthday. That's not to say I'm required to spend time or money on them, but it doesn't bother me when all they want is a bit of recognition.

BI: AOC asked voters why they backed her candidacy and Trump's reelection. They said the economy and Gaza. in c/politics@lemmy.world

I had the same suspicion, but I feel that's just as unreasonable as Trump voters saying, "I didn't think he would actually XYZ."

"Does it hurt?"

We saw the same contempt during the debate when he said, "I'm talking now. Does that sound familiar?" What an utter psychopath.

I've never understood the use case for this. How did you use it?

When the Steam Deck was still just an idea, Valve says some staff were like, "I just want that for me" and "the point wasn't even to make a product out of it" in c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz

But so many people have decks now, it would make sense to market a dedicated controller for docked mode. At least that's what I'm desperately hoping for.

This movie had no soundtrack which also made this film unsettling for me. Spooky, how authentic it was in c/movies@lemmy.world

That's close to how it happens in the book. I believe there's a single paragraph revealing that >!Moss was killed.!< Then the story moves along.

Plex remote access - low quality even with gigabit fiber (lemmy.world)

Hey all, I'm very new to self-hosting and have no background in anything computer-related. I'll explain in as much detail as I can. I'm running Plex on a Synology DS220+. I'm using the Plex app, i.e. not using Docker (see note below).

The issue: I can watch Plex on my local network in 4K, but outside my local network it barely makes it to 720p. I thought it was an issue with my upload speed, but I got gigabit last week and it hasn't fixed the issue. I have remote access enabled in Plex through a manually-specified port. The issue persists with my own account and any friends who have access to my library.

I appreciate any advice, links or questions you can offer!

NOTE: I understand the benefits of Docker and I promise to transition in the future. I spent many hours learning and troubleshooting, and it was even functional at times, but eventually I needed something that just worked.

EDIT: You all have been so helpful and supportive. Thanks for meeting me where I'm at and sharing some potential issues.

EDIT2: I found the culprit by accident. I had UPnP enabled on my router. I turned it off and my local speeds increased significantly, and my Plex library is available remotely. I don't know how or why UPnP is related, but that's what the solution was for me. Thanks again for all your input and support.
