The post Setting up Plex Server on Umbrel to Stream Media to Playstation 5 appeared first on John Gill Dew.

]]>
Network components:

  • Umbrel Server containing Plex Server running on Ubuntu – “Umbrel”
  • Playstation 5 – “PS5”
  • Personal Computer – “PC

Network Configuration:

  • Umbrel connected to router via Ethernet
  • PS5 connected to router via Ethernet
  • PC connected via WiFi

Step-by-Step Guide:

  1. Access router’s Home Network settings from PC and set static IP addresses for Umbrel and PS5
  2. Create Plex account on PC. If you use Google, be sure to set a password after your account has been created.
  3. Follow the Plex initial setup instructions to direct the app to your local media location(s).
    1. Having already downloaded a file was helpful in determining the location.
  4. Download Plex Server on PS5
  5. Download Plex Server on Umbrel

***For steps 6-9, reference this GUIDE for more information***

  1. Access Plex’s “docker-compose.yml” file
    1. I used ssh from my PC to access the Plex files which are housed on the Umbrel
  2. Get Plex claim code (https://www.plex.tv/claim/) from Plex on PC
  3. Within four minutes, add the auto-generated Plex Claim code to the “docker-compose.yml” file after “-VERSON…”
  4. Save the edited file and restart your Plex Server. Restarting the server is required.
  5. Open the Plex Server on the Umbrel. If you receive an authorization error, troubleshoot steps 5 through 8 using the aforementioned GUIDE.
  6. Access your router’s settings on the PC.

***For steps 12 – 15, reference this COMMENT for more info (disabling IPv6 is NOT required)***

  1. Access router’s Firewall settings from PC. Using NAT/Gaming (maybe Port Forwarding) settings, create two custom port forwarding services.
    1. Plex Server with a port range of 32400-32400, host port of 34200, and TCP/UDP protocol
    2. Plex App with a port range of 50000-50000, host port of 34200, and TCP/UDP protocol
  2. Apply BOTH custom forwarding services to Umbrel device.
  3. Still in the router’s Firewall settings, Using IP Passthrough settings, create a passthrough allocation using DHCPS-fixed mode for the PS5. Use the default lease.
  4. On the PC, access your server’s remote access settings in Plex [Settings > Umbrel > Remote Access]. Manually specify the public port as 50000, and click Apply.
  5. Check the status of the Plex Server in the PS5 Plex App. If the Plex Server shows as “indirect” troubleshoot steps 12 – 15 using the aforementioned COMMENT.

Hope this helps! If this was valuable to you, let me know what it’s worth!

Senator Kevin Blackwell of Southaven has recently – and repeatedly – proposed legislation to require the licensure of midwifery in Mississippi. He and Senate Bill 2080’s proponents claim that the duty of delivering Mississippi’s newborns is too great to have the unlicensed perform. I, along with many Mississippians who have hired midwives and even many of those who have not, fervently disagree. 

To avoid confusion, let’s consider some numbers, or as you might hear commonly, “the (almighty) data”. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, 2.1% of births in Mississippi were attended by midwives in 2018. That was a whopping 777 births of the 37,000 total births in 2018. Even if the number of mothers electing to give birth outside a hospital has risen in the interim, midwifery in Mississippi remains a niche practice. Assuming births outside hospitals are on the rise, we’d be remiss not to examine why. 

Mississippi is notorious for infant mortality. In 2022, we held the top spot in the nation with an infant mortality rate of 9.46 per thousand births. The next closest to our abysmal and embarrassing situation was South Dakota with a rate of 7.77 infant deaths per thousand births. Mississippi, as of 2021, also claims the highest rate of cesarean delivery at 38.5% of live births according to the CDC. While these factors alone surely do not explain a supposed rise in traditional birth practices in Mississippi, I hope you can imagine why an expecting Mississippi mother might entertain options for birth outside hospital walls. 

Considering the dreadful state of the State in these regards and the meager popularity of midwifery in Mississippi, I have to wonder why Mr. Blackwell would feel it necessary to burden midwives and Mississippi parents-to-be with the heavy yoke of government regulation and restriction. Could it be that the established birthing industry is advocating for such things to control – or even quash – an emerging threat to their status as the primary provider for childbirth, indefensible as it may be? I cannot say, but I can say that Mississippi parents know what is best for themselves and their coming children. 

Those who care must not allow spokesmen and women or our elected servants to paint this as an issue of concern for the wellbeing of Mississippi’s mothers and children. Their attempts to do so imply that the great people of Mississippi are helpless and ignorant. If their concern were truly the wellbeing of Mississippi mothers and children, they would do well to refocus their regulatory efforts on the institutions that have given us the highest rates of infant mortality and cesarean delivery, not to mention the plethora of examples in how Mississippi’s “healthcare” system is failing the people of this State. 

Dare I close with a taboo that there has to some level of individual responsibility when selecting providers of any service. If our elected servants do not feel that Mississippians are capable of such due diligence, especially in regards to the birth of their children, I propose they are incompatible with the people of Mississippi and should resign their offices post-haste. Government regulation is not the answer to Mississippi’s problems particularly when the “problem” its progenitors claim to address is actually an alternative to some of the most tragic and unacceptable problems in our State’s healthcare system. Mississippians must reject this attempt to punish practicing midwives for the failures of our hospitals.

See the full allegations here.

The post The Serena Aunon-Chancellor Allegations appeared first on John Gill Dew.

This is an account, posted to an imageboard, of the events in 2018 that led to the decommissioning of the International Space Station. It is translated from Russian and has only been edited for syntax.

This is pretty true, just a compound of non stop women moments and sabotage. She was paranoid about her ex, and gf at home, she wanted more attention and fame. She didn’t like doing any of her ‘work’ and demanded being excused.

Lots of little thing trying to make life hard to be ‘forced ‘to go home a year early, she decided ‘space was too much’ with in a week or so.

This culminated in the bathroom, and how nasa and toilets are sexist cause they aren’t comfortable, and there’s boys always around. Nasa said the toilet was designed with ladies in mind, and its uncomfortable to boys too. She was enraged and demanded a toilet be designed and sent up for women and women only. Nasa stated that this will take up to a year and $100s of millions, but they’ll start.

She did not like that and demanded to be sent home immediately. ‘I’m not comfortable. I don’t want to be here anymore’

Nasa responded by easing her duties to basically nothing and letting her know there is a taxi scheduled in 9 months and that they have a few woman power missions planned for her to make her famous even a first ever woman outside repair without a man doing it instead.

This was not enough she wanted a rocket home now.

When Nasa said that is just not in the logistics, she flipped. She then refused to bathe, use the restroom properly [damming it / let shit and piss spray all over the place], and refused to pickup or follow cleanliness protocols, damaging equipment and causing smells.

This is where its sucked! Ever since its creation the ISS has been the cleanest freshest smelling environment ever, possible, and strictly maintained as such for one very important reason, if you are going to be in a closed place floating through space over 100 years, you can not replace your atmosphere with a fresh one. Every smell is forever. ISS was a pleasant environment with a pleasant smell until now.

She continues being a piece of shit, annoying everybody, making messes, assaulting people, destroying their research and altering the experiments of others while they were away like poisoning space plants randomly. She wanted to be fired [from space…]

Then her big day came, the first ever female only, outside ‘repair’.

She majorly failed her last few costing 100s of millions, with a male lead and had to be replaced with a male mid way through. For one, she dropped all of her tools into the void.

Next, she borrowed all of the tools of the second, because the capt refused to let her touch his. Then preceded to drop all of his tools into the void. leaving just 2 almost sets.

Now she’s out in space, trying to repair a loose bolt near hydraulics with no man doing it, or telling her what to do, [except the team of men giving her mil sec by mil sec instructions, but the budget already had 250,000,000 set aside for complications].

3 hours of look cool outside, tighten a bolt on live tv, and re enter, turned into 6 hours of nervous giggle girls panicking, almost throwing themselves into space, losing most tools in the second to last box and some from the last box.

Girls finally ‘finding the bolt’ panic stick the gun on it, and just completely soak themselves and everything with 70 year soaking up radiation, super horrific rotten egg smelling fluids.

They immediately turn and rush in and in panic skip all decontamination protocols [on the news feeds you see them skip all locks and through the filthy radioactive space gear off in the dorms, saying mission accomplished, capt upset, MC upset, whole world celebrates for weeks. The next day capt checks the no work repair to see that the whole external arm is fubar and Canada is offered $250,000,000 in hours make a new one.

This is a major kicking deal in the space community.

Huge fucking deal. Nasa now has to get a team together to study for 6-12/48 months if space is worth it. In less than a month, things are clear: everything is well beyond fucked, everything inside and out is coated in the stinkiest, slimiest oils, and everyone is finally getting pissed at her after nearing a year of this, but its worse than you could ever imagine.

She thinks she’s won saying, she’s beaten them, she’ll be home soon, then Nasa reminds her the taxi is still like 6 months away. She looses her shit and destroys equipment, makes messes and destroys the toilet 2 times in a few days. MC assures her the new toilet is on the way. “I don’t want a f’in toilet, I wanna go home!” Later that day, less than a month after space walk the American toilet was destroyed beyond repair with witnesses and no hope for 6 months.

Though the Russians were real bras, they didn’t want her psycho targeting them. They let the Americans use their toilet, guarded, for a few days, then she tried to destroy Russians. The Americans were than left with only diapers.

In only a month, huge issues are becoming very obvious. I mean as if hundreds of used diapers just building up and floating around wasn’t enough.

Everything is slimy and stinky even your skin. Everything now smells and tastes like shit and piss… forever. Equipment is all contaminated / unfixable and is constantly malfunctioning. You have to move literal shit out of the way to do anything. There’s no room to do any of the jobs, and the girl is still being caught again and again trying to sneaky sabotage things. Even being busted while breaking into Russian private spaces and equipment a few times. [They let her borrow tools after loosing some before they got strict.]

Even the men on both sides were begging for help.

Capt: please get this psycho bitch out of here immediately

Woman: please get me out of here now

GC: [r x100] logistics wouldn’t fit such a time line, unless something catastrophic happens in 3 months

There’s been a major fubar of an external arm; permanently irradiating the ISS to deadly degrees inside and out; a destruction of toiletry making the place no longer safe, sterile, or inhabitable; and now a drop in overall air within this can floating through space

Immediately picked on sensors, recorded on camera, a tiny hole from the only drill left in space, that was found stolen and in possession of the lady who was been making everyone’s life hell all year.

MC has finally set a new priority, remove the women from ISS asap, or there will be no ISS left.

So they did a little rescheduling, and thought, why send women toilet to space, when you could take woman out of space. We sent a woman toilet to ISS to cure space poop, had 3 months of them trying it out. They sent an ’emergency taxi’ to remove the women early and sneak on a normal toilet. [They later made a big deal sending the woman toilet after she was gone]

They planned 6 months to assess damages, but its worse than you could ever imagine. Around the world began to celebrate Nasa sending in the first new and improved toilet into space, and some devastating information stared coming into light.

It turns out, the original set of peopled hired to assess the damages caused to the entire space program, were dB releasing findings, and searching for any solutions, when.. they concluded…Everything is far beyond possible repair. Final mission: crash into the ocean. They along with the scientist in space concluded decades worth of research is lost forever. Experiments taking decades to preform were destroyed in under 1 year. Over 1 trillion dollars of damage was done on equipment and research. All material and equipment are contaminated and unusable for science. Everything is forever radioactive so long future stays would cost life. Everything is forever radioactive, so experiments are forever impossible. The freshest smelling place there is, forever smells like shit and piss, along with all you eat and drink. All electronics and ducts are coated in oils inside and out, therefore unfixable. The problems would only ask if space science is worth it, because now we have to start over from scratch.
