  1. You think Arch will be allowed a limited playbook like MM was?
  2. Thinking the same. A lot of quick shots to keep their QB from dying.
  3. Better than BDC at the US Open?
  4. The local stations access is good, as you mentioned, for games. Having UK channels as well is kinda nice. Was baked last night and watching gogglebox. Definitely a delay between this and live in an app. Watching a game and ran to do something, so put on the bally app, and this is about 30 seconds behind, maybe 45. Just the nature of it, so no big deal. I'll see how big the difference is next weekend to get a better idea. Not that it's a big deal, but might make game threads a bit different. Service quality has been good so far. The 4k stuff is fine, and the hd stuff is fine as well. Apple TV is spitting out 4k dolby, so no diff than YTTV on that front. Haven't had any buffering issues, and the UHF app is letting me use the up/down arrows as channel up/down, so that's nice. Definitely glad to have dumped the IP Smarters app for UHF. Much better UI, in both operation and layout. If the smarters app was the only option, I'd have probably called it off. It's not good. It works, yes, but is annoying to use. UHF has a watermark, in-app purchase to remove. Annoying, but if it all works out then I'll give em a few bucks to make it go away and grab some additional features. I'm ok with that. For now I pitched em a buck for a month in case it ends up not being an option, or I don't continue service. Setting up the guide is a bit of an endeavor, but part of the approval factor. You can sort by name, but that kind of sucks with a shit-ton of channels. Would be nice to be able to make your own categories for your guide to be able to better control the list, but whatever. If I hammer away at it over the next few days, doing a few at a time, it'll get there. Once the initial batch is done, I can work on the few remaining I want to put on the main guide.
  5. Could be an option that’s been considered. Re-cut 1 & 2 into 6 episodes, and then shoot 3/4 as 7-12. Call it 2 season, one mini-series, whatever.
  6. So current setup being the Cloud Gateway Ultra, 2 cisco switches, and the flex switch. Setup is running very well for what I'm doing with it for now, and is a big improvement from the previous iteration. It's not running all the automation and networking stuff I want to add, but that's down the line a tick yet. Aside from equipment, the biggest change I've made with the new, transition phase, setup is having moved from self-hosted DNS, over to using NextDNS. I have a profile setup for my private, IoT, and guest networks, and am running the cli version directly on the router. All requests go through it, and it's been excellent. I have it tweaked to about where I want it, and have only had to add maybe half a dozen urls to the allow list. It does add a tick bit of latency when it's has to fetch a non-cached domain, but it's not bad. Just barely enough to notice, and it's not distracting. Second biggest change was separate guest network. Previously I just put company on my IoT network, but this works out better, and allows for a separate DNS profile from IoT that has different settings and block lists in use. I've also picked up a mini pc (geekom, 1T, 32G, Ryzen 7) about a month ago, that I'm messing with as a desktop for a bit. It will end up being one of my container servers in the long run. Not sure how I'm going to use it specifically, but either as part of a k8 cluster or a proxmox box with a few specific network containers, then a few n100's for home lab stuff and local development. Right now I have a small windows 11 partition, since it came with it (although I reinstalled from scratch), and Kubuntu on the main partition. Haven't used the windows partition really, but have it just in case. I will dump that partition before long, and once I have a container environment setup, I might think about setting it back up for browser testing. Other than that, no real use for windows. It's pretty easy on power, which is nice, and seems to be holding together well. I do have an external fan (USB, AC Infinity) blowing air directly into the bottom to help in case of any heat issues. Fun little gadget so far.
  7. I’ll be using a pro max at that point. Cloud Gateway Ultra is a stop gap. I was planning a new network out for next year, when my edge router poe fully bit the dust. So grabbed that for now, plus the flex and 6pro AP. I’ll deploy those in the full network when I get to it. 2 of the 48’s would be a lot more ports than I’ll need. At least for this network. At some point when I build and move, that will probably be what I end up doing. Will have a lot more stuff to keep track of then. Cloud Gateway Ultra has been solid so far. Hasn't even blinked yet. I'll yak about that in a separate post.
  8. Have him run that again. Anything with fewer than 40 TD’s is horseshit.
  9. Giving FuboBox a try for the month. Not sure if it's going to make it through the wife-approval stage or not. Using UHF as the player for the moment. Tried IP Smarters, but didn't really like it. If it was just my call, I'd go for it. But not sure I'll be able to get the wife off YTTV. Service has been fine so far though, so that's good so far. Some of the channels missing guide data, not so much. I can get past that, or would know where to look real quick. Her, well... the woman factor comes into play heavily here. Going to give it a try for a bit, and if it works out, I'll pick up a 3mo option.
  10. I wonder if they’re going back and editing part 2 to try and get it on track to save the future of 3 & 4. Who’s going to watch pt 2 without knowing there if there will be an ending or not.
  11. It would save a slot, but I want my poe budget on its own switch, with standard wired clients on the other. Something happens to the poe switch, and I can put a backup injector on essential devices and move them to the other in the interim, or use the backup switch. Some type of switch/smart pdu is on the list.
  12. And they arrived there this morning? Yesterday? Didn’t think so.
  13. Is this the thread where we're laughing our asses off at FSU? FSWho? Count. Me. In.
  14. So she’s a woman? In one ear and out the other just can’t be beat.
  15. Do you own your current domain? That’s going to be the biggest factor. If you do, then it’s much less of a hit. Domains change ip’s all the time, and owning your name would allow for you to move providers with minimal impact. To best preserve content, You want to first mirror the current site on the new provider. Next, every old name link gets redirected to new-name matching link. So same page, different domain name. From there, you can slowly change the site over. First thing would be graphics. You don't even have to change the name, just the new image with the old name if need be. Also add the new pages as well. Then text-based name changes, maybe even a transition period where it’s “old name is now pleased to serve you as new name” type of deal. Once the transition period is over, then you can begin cleanup of old text, text changes, etc. That’s the basics of it, at its best. If you don’t own your current name, things can go downhill quickly in terms of how big a hit your seo takes. You could also straddle both providers for a bit, long enough to have 301 redirects in effect for a while. Which would then work pretty close to ideal. Not sure how deep seo can go these days, but it may help if the registration for the new and old domains, as well as any domain certificates, have the same name used for registration. I know they look at registration length, which is why the redirects help.
  16. Looks like the priest got cum on their shirts.
