kbin and lemmy are different softwares, but they are both used for link aggregation and the 2 softwares use a common protocol, so they can talk to each other. So there are kbin servers and lemmy servers, and they are all interconnected.

So now we can take this post as an example:

You are a user on kbin.social

You posted this question on /m/[email protected] - this means the community you posted on is actually hosted on lemmy.world

lemmy.world then tells other instances that its federated with that someone just made a post on /c/nostupidquestions on its instance. what kbin calls magazines are called communities on lemmy, hence the /c/ instead of the /m/.

kbin.social and all the other instances will then also show this post, even though it originally was created on a different instance

Think about what happens to water if it's heated above 100C... it turns into steam! The more water there is in the plastic the more steam there will be, causing the various issues like bubbling. The release of steam also means some of the heat is not being absorbed by the filament, leading to temperature issues as it exits the nozzle

What the dough is made out of isn't relevant to it being a noodle or not though, unless you think rice noodles aren't noodles because they aren't made of semolina, eggs, and oil and aren't typically cooked by boiling but rather by soaking in hot water?

I also used plex for my kids for a while and for the longest time I simply put a couple HDDs into my personal PC and ran plex off my PC. It was more than adequate for just letting them watch whatever shows they wanted, no need to go crazy if you don't have the need for more!

I would also test by connecting to the vpn and trying to go to a service's ip or ping an ip on the network behind the vpn from the browser. I use juice and ovpn on my router as well and it works fine, so its unlikely to be a juice specific problem

I had a similar issue where it was thin in regular intervals similar to what it looks like in your pics, the issue I had was the extruder gear was clogged up on one side so it wasn't gripping the filament and slipping until it spun around to the unclogged side and it would extrude normally again.

Typically you'd have a server running on a device on each UPS, and the clients would be the other devices also plugged into that UPS, so when that UPS is low, everything plugged into it will turn off. If you have another UPS elsewhere in the house, you would have another server installed on a device there so it can monitor that UPS that it is plugged into, and tell the other devices also plugged into that other UPS to shut down. Without knowing the layout you are running though, there's no way to know if NUT is what you need or want.

So in your case it would likely be to plug your server and nas both into the same UPS, and when the server detects the UPS is low battery, it will tell the NAS to shut down. This would also require the switches/router/whatever to also be on a UPS to hold power of course. So then it basically becomes each little cluster of devices that need UPS would also have a switch nearby that is also on the UPS

Look into NUT, Network UPS Tools. It runs in a server/client type of set up. You'd install the server onto the device that has the UPS data connected to it. It then monitors the UPS status and can tell all the clients to shutdown when the UPS is running low.

When you say peak do you mean like a one off large spike, or it constantly hovers around 96Mbps? If it hovers around 96 Mbps that is really high if you aren't serving multiple clients at the same time. You can also try turning up the "Transcoder default throttle buffer" setting in the transcoder section of the server settings. This makes the server pre-transcode farther ahead and can help with making sure the stream is constant.

Also, what version of the nvidia drivers and CUDA are you on? For best results you should be on at least version 525 and cuda 12.

Lastly, you say you are on gigabit, so why is your upload only 130-300 Mbps? Is the pc conncted to your network via wifi?

You can quickly tell if Plex is hw encoding by looking at the server dashboard while someone is watching a stream. It will say (hw) next to transcode like this: https://i.imgur.com/rxDxbeV.png

How is your plex server installed, docker or directly on the system?
