IRC as in Internet relay chat? I haven’t used it but how would it help me get around my loe data cap? I’m trying Robinhood some data not find obscure downloads. Even if someone provided me with some direct download links I still need to spend the data getting it onto my system.
Yeah that is true but we’ve grandfathered into a plan that is faster than it should be for the money but is limited to 500gb a month. I could get unlimited but it’d cost an extra $20 a month. This has never been a problem until I started building a plex library rather than just streaming. I managed to blow though that in two weeks just messing around.
Yeah I just looked up the policy and they specifically list downloading cars as something you shouldn’t do. I feel like they’re big enough that even if I downloaded 50gb a week it would be a drop in the ocean in their network. I’ve only got a 500gb limit at home right now so any amount helps. I just suppose it depends if they have alerts on for excess data usage by individuals… which they probably do.
Spirited away is a fantastic movie.
I watched that with my girlfriend who had never seen it. After hyping it up I had a real “just wait it gets funny” feeling the whole time. Not as good as I remember.
Thats some good info, I had a sneaking suspicion that the server stuff might suck the juice. Currently trawling marktplace for a new i3 or i5 or someone’s older gaming rig I can strip down
My provider uses CGNAT in AUS and I’m on fiber then copper connection. Luckily they just had a option on their account page to turn it off.
Oh I’m already testing plex out on the desktop with a few of the *arr services. It’s very neat and satisfying but with power hitting $0.50aud/kW i need to be realistic about what hardware I want to run as investing too heavily early on will take years to pay off.
Still I’m very jealous of what you’ve got going on.
ahh thats fair, there’s never really more than one stream at a time here.
Can I ask why you pay for that speed? I’m on 25/10 and I’ve never felt it was the 25mb download cap that is holding me back.
Part of me looks at this man as a system God among us puny and unworthy users.
The other part is saying just keep paying for one drive and Netflix. As the saying goes “the first step to powerbill and uptime hell is the simple plex server”
Not sure where you’re based but in my country you can buy a prepaid Visa cards that work the same as a normal debit card. Just get someone else to buy it for you using cash, use it to buy crypto.
