Plex’s hardware-accelerated streaming feature is great for running a very efficient Plex media server. Because of this feature, you don’t need to get a server with tons of CPU headroom for media transcoding. Instead, you can let a GPU do the transcoding in hardware. If you are running your Plex server in a virtual machine […]
Plex’s remote access feature is what turns your home media server into a true Netflix alternative – accessible from any device, anywhere. It does, however, only support IPv4. Users have been asking for IPv6 remote access for years now, but nothing has changed (yet). This means that users who’s internet connection is IPv6 only (such […]
Plex is a great piece of kit. It allows you to build your own Netflix-ish media server and watch your content from anywhere. You can add multiple “managed” users (if you have a Plex Pass) and the server will keep track of what they watched, where they stopped and how they rate content. A feature […]
You already know how to get an RSS feed for all jobs posted to an SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Marketing site (or you can learn about that in this post). But what if you want to filter which jobs appear in the feed? Get a feed of jobs that match a certain keyword or jobs in […]
Most SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Marketing sites do not show the job requisition id anywhere on the job page. Even the job page url only contains what is usually referred to as the job id. A quick example: https://careers.bjs.com/job/Chicopee-Cashier-Job-MA-01020/634239700/. The highlighted number is the job id, which is only used by Recruiting Marketing. So, what can […]
The applicant portal of SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting does not have the most modern UI, nor is there any real way of customizing the user experience. Which is why many companies end up developing various add-ons/plug-ins in order to add new features to the portal. Examples for such applications can be found in the SAP app […]
I had used AWS Glacier for my backup efforts for about two years before finally get fed up with the low speeds and constant errors of the command line tool I used (“mt-aws-glacier”). I somehow became aware of rclone, another command line tool that claims to be the “rsync for cloud storage”. For me, it […]
An important update Backblaze officially added a “server side copy”-feature to their B2 service in August of 2019. Details can be found in this post on their blog. Most tools that support B2 have already added support for the new feature as well, so copying/moving data on B2 has become rather simple. No more need […]
I recently switched to using a Draytek Vigor router in modem-mode or “full-bride”-mode for PfSense. The setup was extremely simple, everything worked right away. Plus, the speeds were pretty much exactly what my DSL plan promises. However, I noticed something odd when checking the firewall logs in PfSense: Some device was broadcasting something via UDP […]
A little over a month ago, I discovered Nextcloud. An easy to set up, open-source and self-hosted alternative cloud storage solution (that can actually do a lot more than sync files). After testing it for a bit, I decided to switch from Dropbox to a Nextcloud instance that’s hosted on an everyday web server. However, […]
