Do we have any idea the specs on that system?

Plex users, why? in c/[email protected]

  1. No app. Just web required
  2. No user management - that's handled by someone else (Plex)
  3. Stupid simple (app for everything) so end users (family) don't have to... figure it out. Thus fewer IT tickets for me.
  4. Just works.
How often are you shutting down your hosts? in c/[email protected]

Summer every day in the afternoon for heat and power usage (time of use bills triple from 3-9pm). Scripted to run on one host per site for must have apps.

Winter - once a month for the weekend after patch Tuesday. It’s a chance to check for cables being nibbled/cleaning/other things needing doing.
