Empower FDP-6000 connection error for 6 months now

Is anyone else been dealing with a broken Empower account giving the FDP-6000 error for around 6 months now? it's a known issue and anytime you ask about it in the Simplifi forums they just direct you to the Ongoing issue page for "alerts" when it's solved. At this point an update would be nice. Even just to say it's on Empowers end and there is nothing we can do. This kind of customer service is not helpful. Being transparent about issues and what's being done in my opinion is better customer service, even just to acknowledge that you can't solve the issue currently and why.

Docker lesson learned - Don't stop container during initial scan of the library on new server

I recently switched my plex server from Windows to unRaid. All I cared about retaining was watch history. I don't have outside users so I didn't try to bring app data over. The initial library scan was taking forever and I wanted to create my parity so I stopped the container to allow full CPU and disk use for parity building. Everything was fine afterwards and plex worked normally. However after a week or two I noticed that every episode or movie I watched the option to skip intros and credits was missing. I tried getting plex to do manual scans, analyze etc.. I started using CLI commands to get it to analyze, but it would not get all the files. I would go into the XML and the voice detection markers were missing, along with intros and credits. Anyway your experience may vary but eventually I just went into appdata and deleted the DB folder and then readded the library and let it go for 2 days until it was finished and all is well now.

Transition from Desktop Pro 2019 to QBO

I do IT support for a Treasurers office in county government. We have to get rid of QB pro 2019 because it is no longer supported and the main IT for county/city doesn't want to host QB server anymore and wants us to move to the cloud. A few years ago, the accounting team had me work on importing files into QuickBooks. I don't remember the limitation of QB 2019 or the reason, but we had to get a 3rd party import product, Transaction Pro, which has worked great. Essentially we just import bank transactions and use QB for reconciliation. Does QBO have a pretty robust importing process that may eliminate the need for us to move to the Transaction Pro QBO product? I believe the newer version of Transaction Pro requires a subscription whereas the old importer was a perpetual license.

I’ll start by saying this is my first step into using a non-consumer router. I recently purchased an ER707-M2; previously, I was used to a standard router (or my own DNS server) handling local DNS automatically, where "things just worked."

After setting up the ER707-M2 at home and adding an IoT VLAN, I noticed I couldn't reach devices by their hostnames. I went into the VLAN configuration, set home.lan as the domain, and added the entries to LAN DNS. Everything worked perfectly.

I then read that the current standard for private networks is to use the .home.arpa domain. Making this switch led to an hour of frustration. I discovered that while I can change my domain to home.bob, .jim, or .pizza it works fine, home.arpa fails completely. I simply cannot ping or connect to my devices via their FQDN when using that specific suffix.
