Things that make you go umm!

Okay, for the last couple of weeks I have been getting these buffer studders in plex when I am watching a movie, which I thought was weird since it never happened before this point.  I thought it was probably due to all the services I am running on the server I am running plex off of now.  I have over 30 services running on a intel core i3 with 16 gigs of ram (jellyfin, homeassistant, mssql, adguardhome, homebox, immich, photoprism and portainer plus a whole lot more).  The box is using 40% usages for ram but less than 10% for cpu when idle.  Now as I am watching a movie I just noticed something I kind of saw before but did not think much of it at the time.  When I run plex on a pc I can get the subtitles to show by default.  It never worked when I used android, google-tv, roku or the firestick.  Now it appears to be working and I think that is possible pegging the processor when It is running now.  Crazy, I had just switched to the vlc player for watching movies when i wanted to see the subtitles and now plex decides to start working now with subtitles.  It is what it is I guess!  I will check the forums later to see if an update came out that activated that feature on the tv sticks.  Scratching head, lol!

Happy Monday 😀

It's been a while!

I know it has been a while, but it is the holidays, and everything goes out the window this time of the year.  Still working on the homelab: wazuh, home assistant and proxmox.  Also taking advantage of hacking what I own.  Learning a lot but still have a long way to go now.
I am watching a BHIS event now and it is giving me a lot to think about with the direction of my career.  I think I need to get over the imposter syndrome mindset when it comes to applying for jobs and just go for it!  Now I need to focus on what I can learn now and see where I am in a month and go from there.
Give me strength!  LOL!

Happy Tuesday  😀
