I don’t really need all the fluff that Plex has but the only thing holding me back is no PS5 support.

Transition my main host to Linux, maybe Plex to Jellyfin, setup a switch (have an RS900 and access to acquire a free CS2960), a UPS or two. I may also wind up getting my hands on some PoE cameras and APs. Run some cable too.

When someone previously told a vrtx vm not to auto boot after power up and none of the remote access is working either… Both undocumented as well, of course. And your tired AF tech is statically configuring the wrong IP range on their laptop to manu because it’s been a long shutdown day and are also unfamiliar with the system in general (me). Good times, I figured it out though, but lots of sweating and swearing.

“What do you see when it’s coming back up?”

“Right back to the problem I’m having!”

“So you don’t see [insert OEM logo here]?”

“Nope. And it’s still frozen!”

“Where’s the power button you’re holding down?”

“On the monitor!”

Open the window and throw it out, please

When we do it right, you forget we’re here and we’re ok with that.

I prefer that when done properly a network admin is simply forgotten about.

Where’s my network admins at?

The weirder thing is I was replacing a users desktop the other day and updating default apps. Edge did its usual “pleas love me” bit but then so did Windows Mail as I was changing it to Outlook 365 of all things…
