Is Plex really Self Hosting? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] JordanZ@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

That’s an option too but that’s mostly just DLNA and not really Plex (as the client).

This can be done but you need to set the ip address ranges that don’t require auth when you can still get into the server(aka have internet). Then it works without internet fine.

As a skydiver, we jump out of hot air balloons all the time. 3-4 people usually. It’s not a big deal.

People who are staying on Plex, have you tried Jellyfin? What about it do you not prefer? (real question) in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

If it was just for me inside my house then I never would have left XBMC now called Kodi and a file share. I still run it with a special set top box to play 4K disc rips with full Dolby Vision / Atmos support.

Plex is dirt simple to get a reasonably secure setup for remote streaming with virtually no effort. User management and password resets are mostly managed by Plex and not me. I just have to setup what libraries I want to share with them.

I have a lifetime pass that I got for like $70-80. As long as it’s not broken, I see no reason to switch. Sure they keep adding garbage that I have to turn off but for the most part I can turn it off.

Open ‘Event Viewer’ and look through the ‘System’ log(under ‘Windows Logs’ folder). It should tell you something about the restarts. If it’s a blue screen or whatever it should tell you the fault code which you can lookup. Might help narrow your search.

Kadokawa cites excessive reliance on the isekai genre as one of the major causes of the decline in profitability in its domestic publishing business in c/anime@ani.social

There’s a few I’ve come across where they’re technically Isekai but outside of like the first episode they completely ignore it. So, like what’s the point? It would have obviously held up without that plot point because it clearly isn’t really relevant. Maybe the manga has more about it. I’m struggling to remember an example cause it’s 2:30 in the morning but I know I’ve stumbled across 2-3 of them like this and I honestly forgot they were even Isekai.

GE dishwasher blowing up boards (lemmy.world)
 

I have a GE Cafe dishwasher(cdt865ssj2ss). I ran a cycle in it a week or so ago and it was doing its thing for a good half hour or so. I went to the store and came back to a completely dead dishwasher. No life at all. Checked power / breaker. Turned it off for a few minutes. Nothing. The dishwasher was hot like it had started the dry cycle but still had water in the bottom of the tub when I got home.

I’m pretty handy and have a multimeter so did some searching around and figured this wouldn’t be so bad.

Started by manually removing the water from the tub. Probably not necessary but didn’t take long as it’s only like an inch or two of water. Didn’t want it spilling if I needed to pull the machine out.

I pull the machine apart at the bottom and get to the main board. Check the UI boards connector port for ~13.5v on pins 2 and 5(it’s literally printed on the circuit board). I’m getting 14.05v. So likely not this board. I order the UI board(top of door with controls).

UI board comes in. I test the power from the main board at the connector of the UI board. Still 14.05v. So not a bad wire harness. Figured I’d check since the door was apart now. I install UI board and turn power back on. I have life again. Things are looking up. I fully put the thing back together and try to run a test load. Machine fills with water like normal and then just cuts out entirely again. No life at all.

Now when I check the UI boards power connector(on the main board) with the multimeter I get nothing. So perhaps that board just up and died and may or may not have also taken out the UI board again. The main board does have 120v.

I’m pretty sure something else is obviously wrong with another component and it’s taking out the board(s). After it fills with water I’d imagine it’s the circulation motor that runs? So for now the machine sits with water in the tub again and dead electrics.

Just looking for general advice of things to look for. If I should just cut my loses and get a new machine entirely. I’d hate to replace both boards and have it fry them again. It’s about $300 for both.

The dishwasher is approximately 8 years old and wasn’t exactly cheap(~$1600). It’s hooked up to soft water and otherwise looks and ran great before whatever electric issues it’s started to develop. The underside of the machine looks basically new. No discolored plastics, the pipes/hoses aren’t cracked or even look worn at all. The rubber bits are still a nice semi-shiny black. Not a dull powdery black color of old rubber. No signs of leaks. It actually has a tray under it with a leak sensor as part of the dishwasher.
