      I got the job guys. Double the pay and half the work. It's absolutely insane. I couldn't even process it yesterday when I got the call.

    • RE: What Are You Doing Right Now

      Had a very strong interview yesterday. I'd be surprised if I didn't get the job. Double the pay half the work essentially.

    • Setting Up Samba for Use with Plex (CentOS 7.2 Minimal)

      There are no guides online that I have found which attempt to teach anyone how to properly install Plex on a CentOS 7.2 server while also explaining what you are actually doing. I'm attempting to do that here but this is also my first guide so I will be editing over time to make it as good as It can be. I'm not a Linux master by any stretch of the imagination. I hope this helps someone in a similar position.

      First we will update CentOS (wiki)
      yum update -y

      You can use vi as your text editor but I prefer nano. This is just personal preference.
      yum install nano -y

      Now we need to install Samba (wiki)
      yum install samba samba-client samba-common -y

      Change the directory to root and then create the samba directory
      cd /
      mkdir -p /samba

      We need to set permissions and ownership of the samba folder
      chmod -r 0777 /samba <---permissions
      chown -r nobody:nobody /samba <---ownership

      Now we will set SELinux (wiki) permissions
      chcon -t samba_share_t /samba

      At this point it's a good idea to create a backup of your samba configuration file just in case something goes wrong with your configuration.
      cp /etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf.bak

      Now we need to edit the samba configuration file. vi would be in place of nano if you are using that text editor.
      nano /etc/samba/smb.conf

      Scroll down to Network-Related Options.

      workgroup = WORKGROUP
      netbios name = Plex
      max protocol = SMB3

      Remove semicolons before the existing lines so they aren't commented out. Directly below max protocol add the following:

      security = user
      map to guest = bad user
      dns proxy = no

      0_1474904615868_plex1.jpg

      Now you need to create a share definition so we can access Plex from any PC. PgDN or scroll to the bottom of the document and enter the following.

      [Plex]
      path = /samba
      browsable = yes
      writable = yes
      guest ok = yes
      read only = no

      Now exit and save your changes

      Enable the smb and nmb services
      systemctl enable smb.service
      systemctl enable nmb.service

      I always restart the services just in case. This may be unncessary.
      systemctl restart smb.service
      systemctl restart nmb.service

      Firewall permissions need to be created and then the firewall needs to be reloaded
      firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=samba
      firewall-cmd --reload

      Map \<ip address\Plex to your windows PC. Once that succeeds I always create a text file to verify I have write access.

      Now, on your Windows PC download: Plex https://www.plex.tv/downloads/ I chose 64bit CentOS

      Drag the .rpm file over into the drive you just mapped in Windows.

      Back in CentOS we need to run a local install of Plex
      cd /samba
      ls <--- To verify that the file is there
      yum localinstall plexmediaserver-0.9.16.4.1911-ee6e505.x86_64 [Note: Once you start typing plex you can hit TAB and it will attempt to autofill the file name. Since there is only one file there is no chance of it autofilling the wrong file name.]

      Let's start the Plex service and stop the firewall service for testing purposes
      systemctl start plexmediaserver.service
      systemctl stop firewalld.service

      On your windows PC open up your browser and test connectivity to your Plex server: http://<ip address>:32400

      Reboot the server.

      Stop the Plex service
      systemctl stop plexmediaserver.service

      Now we need to allow Plex through the firewall (this will be a new document).
      nano /etc/firewalld/services/plexmediaserver.xml

      Enter the following
      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
      <service>
      <short>Plex Media Server</short>
      <description>This opens up PlexMediaServer for http (32400), upnp, and autodiscovery.</description>
      <port protocol="tcp" port="32469"/>
      <port protocol="udp" port="32413"/>
      <port protocol="udp" port="1900"/>
      <port protocol="tcp" port="32400"/>
      <port protocol="udp" port="32412"/>
      <port protocol="udp" port="32410"/>
      <port protocol="udp" port="32414"/>
      </service>

      Now add the Plex service to the firewall
      firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=plexmediaserver
      firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=plexmediaserver

      Reboot the server.

      On your windows PC open up your browser and test connectivity to your Plex server: http://<ip address>:32400 Note: In order to use your Plex Media Server remotely you will need to configure port forwarding on your router. The default port as listed above is 32400.

      Now you can browse your Plex files on your Windows PC and add/remove what you want.

      Follow Plex's media preparation guidelines: https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/categories/200028098-Media-Preparation

      Guys I have a server I'm running to display a slideshow of my cats. It has to run 28/8/368. Downtime is not an option, I can't not see my cat's pictures. I need 40 TB of storage in RAID 0 for ultra redundancy and my budget is some change I found in the parking lot. Can anyone help me?

      I created a Raspi Supercomputer for this very purpose. It was only $2000 for the computer, $1000 for the network rack w/switches and an 8 bay Synology NAS as a backup. I'm going to push them out to remote sites into digital picture frames and a projector so I can project them onto my local water tower.

      After almost 3 weeks in the hospital, my Grandpa is apparently going home tomorrow or friday once the oxygen tank delivery arrives at his home. I was really worried we were going to lose him. We had a lot of scares throughout this time. The guy is 78 years old and survived a confirmed covid case. Hopefully this gives any of you that have sick relatives some hope.

      @aidan_walsh afaik there is no reason to install it as a role. All it does is create unnecessary licensing dependencies.

      Lost 20 lbs on keto. Target weight is 185 and I'm 205 right now

      How many weeks ?

      4

      I don't have any issues with Keto, except:
      I like

      • chocolate
      • Mountain Dew
      • pasta
      • food in general

      You can eat dark chocolate it just has to be without additives. There is also a brand of keto ice cream that is incredible called Enlightened. Keto is the easiest diet I've ever done. I feel great and my blood work is incredible now.

      My friend's doc told him he had to get his blood pressure under control or he'd be dead in 2 years...

      He went full on keto with one cheat meal a week (literally eats anything he wants on that one)
      he's lost 40 lbs, and says he feels good. - he looks like a skeleton.

      I give myself one cheat meal a month and I limit myself to 20 carbs a day with zero sugar at all. It's been way easier than I would have ever thought

    • How do I specify the version of OpenSSL Curl uses?

      As you can see above, the version 7.32 is referencing OpenSSL version 0.9.8b. I need to configure this to reference OpenSSL version 1.0.1e to allow TLS1.2 to work. This is all on the same host.

      /usr/bin/curl --version:
      curl 7.15.5 (i686-redhat-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.15.5 OpenSSL/1.0.1e zlib/1.2.3 libidn/0.6.5

      /users/user2/curl-7.32.0/src/curl --version:
      curl 7.32.0 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.32.0 OpenSSL/0.9.8b zlib/1.2.3

      Does anyone know how I would achieve this outside of a curl parameter? I have the 1.0.1.e source.
