Hi 'yall. I have a 5 year old welsh corgi that shares our home with a 9 year old Golden Retriever and a 2 year old Yorkshire Terrier. For the most of his life, my corgi was happy with my other dogs -- although he always has tried to herd the Golden (#corgiThings?) and plays very well with the Yorkie, but recently he has been getting grumpier and grumpier to the point of being aggressive to both of the other dogs. I am always correcting him and trying to give him positive reinforcement when he behaves, but it wasn't working. I though maybe he's in pain but the vet couldn't find anything wrong with him, although one of his back legs goes numb due to how he sometimes lays down and the vet just said he needs to loose a little weight, but he runs and jumps like a fine potato. I am thinking he might need more activities (ie. work) to help him with his energy and weight. But I wanted to get some input and advice from other corgi owners. Outside of walks and the other usual activities (have a broken foot atm 🫠) what other activities would you recommend to keep a corgi active? Also, any other advice would be welcomed as I want to always see my loaf as happy as he can be.

I recently got a nice office chair for Christmas with heated massage functionality and it uses a barrel plug to power it but I have to be super careful to not pull it or damage the barrel connector in any way. I wish there was a magnet conector for these things in case of a yank pull and was wondering if anyone had heard of some adapter like the one I pictured above.

As someone who didn't grow up in the US, I don't have a large family here, nor do we have any thanksgiving traditions outside of turkey or ham for dinner. But I wanted to learn some new traditions, specially some I can do with adults as my kids are in college.

No awards are needed, just wanted to share my excitement that while my Jellyfin server still keeps loosing my entire library every 24 hours at least now it has a domain and ssl cert!

That is all. Happy Friday everyone

Hi everyone, I have Truenas core running on an old desktop at home. For the past year everything has been going great. However for the past month or so I started to notice that my SMB share for Jellyfin was getting reset to some 6 movies. All of my home videos, music, TV shows, and other movies where gone. I have a backup drive where I store all this data so I copied the files back and Jellyfin saw them immediately again... but by the next day all where gone again. At first I thought someone had deleted them by accident so I checked the user access of my family members and no one except me has access to delete movies and the logs don't show any media deletion that I wasn't aware of (I found 2 duplicated movies). The server isn't exposed in any way to the internet except for a VPN connection that I keep closed tabs regarding access. I checked the permissions of Jellyfin's container in my Truenas server and both UID and GID are set to 568 per the Internet's recommendation when I set it up originally. My server is running on two 4TB HDDs configured in a mirror. I checked the health of both drives and both show healthy and without errors. I still suspect that when the server syncs the data, that somehow the data from the wrong drive is overwriting the data of the one with the media and deleting it, but I don't know enough on how to check.

Please let me know if you need more information and how to get it, as I am a complete noob when it comes to servers but I am trying to learn.

Thanks y'all

UPDATE: Some have suggested that my Syncthings server could have been the issue, however turning off the server has not fixed the issue and once again files got deleted.

UPDATE 2: I looked at the SMB logs and noticed a bunch of "Unlink" events that seem to be running every morning around 7am and go over every one of my media files. I am assuming "Unlink" means delete somehow, but I can't determine what is calling it.

UPDATE 3: It was Jellyfin deleting the media. I just caught it red-handed.

UPDATE 4: Final update. After deleting my installation and SMB share from my Truenas and reinstalling everything, the deletion issue is now apparently gone. As an extra precaution when installing Jellyfin, I made sure to check the "Read Only" for it's access to the SMB share to make sure it cannot delete any media even if it REALLY wants to.

Seriously, what's even the point of voting if a judge can overturn the voice of the greater majority?

Please don't auto downvote before reading.

A little bit ago some asked a question about why the hate of the blockchain, and that got me thinking if there even was a legitimate use case where the blockchain would be beneficial, but I couldn't think of one outside maybe some sort of decentralized bank, but before I knew I was thinking it would instantly turn into some crypto scheme and strapped it, because crypto currencies are a scam on every level -- and no they aren't private or secret as some think either.

So I wanted to ask the community. Instead of using the blockchain for crypto, is there a better use where the blockchain could benefit society?

Hey everyone, I was entertaining the thought of going away from owning a smart phone.

I already have a modded ipod classic that I use as my main music player.

I also know how to use a paper map.

I also have the Microsoft authentication app for work (I could just use my phone on wifi mode for this)

The last issue I have is WhatsApp where I communicate with friends and family around the world.

Is there a way to use WhatsApp on a non-smart phone? Or should I just buy a pixel and install a secure rom?

Hi everyone, I have an old gaming PC that I had repurposed to be my nextcloud and plex server using TrueNAS, but I recently found CasaOS and I would like to migrate my server to use this instead. What are some best practices that I should observe when installing a different OS into a server? My server is installed on an M.2 drive and I have two 1TB HDD setup in raid.
