Slightly different question on whether to take Part B while on FEHB...

My wife is scheduled to go in for a biopsy that may end up determining whether she has cancer. While we are praying for the best, I want to be prepared for a long road of treatment.

My wife is 68 and I am 60. I am still working with plans to hold out until at least 62. As such, when she turned 65, we started Medicare Part A and deferred Part B/D until I retire. However, based on the situation described above, I wonder if we shouldn't consider opting into Part B sooner just for her as a way to protect us from as much of the potential financial impact as possible.

Does anyone know if we can just opt-in my wife for Part B? Do you think it would be worth it in these circumstances?

Thanks!

Hi - my non-verbal autistic grandson (21yo) loves to come visit his grandparents. When he gets here, he goes right to our Echo Show in the kitchen and starts playing music while simultaneously using his cell phone (which has no service plan) to listen to other things through headphones.

I can figure out how he managed to get the Echo Show to play music through the other Echo devices in the house, but now I'm stumped. He's home (in an entirely different town) with his parents and now at 7:30AM my Echo devices are playing his music. I know it's him doing it interactively because he never listens to more than the first 10 seconds of a song before shifting to another.

He's not on my Amazon account. But I suppose there's some way he installed the Alexa app on his phone. But candidly, how would he have been able to use the Alexa app on his phone to connect to our equipment without having some type of username/password to do it?

Help! He's an early riser (4:00AM) and this happens throughout the day and is driving his retired grandparents crazy!

Hi, My camper has a refrigerator door that is not metallic, so magnets do not stick to it. For a variety of both informational and decorative purposes, I'd like to be able to attach magnets to it. However, I don't know what to call a piece of ferrous metal that would be adhesive on one side so that I can stick it to the refrigerator door. If I could come up with a name for it, I'd probably order it!

What would such a thing be called? Anyone buy one and can share a link? Thanks!

Hi, perhaps you saw my last post where I was commenting that my TV shows were showing up under Movies even though the TV shows were in "/tvshows" and categorized as such and my movies were in "/movies" and also categorized correctly.

I tried many, many things. Deleted the Movies and TV shows libraries, deleted files, dumped the emby docker container and finally uninstalled Docker and started from scratch. Nothing seemed to change the problem.

Here's what I did learn. I can create a library called "Movies" and store the file in "/movies" and things look like they should. However, if I create a folder called "/abc" and just stick some videos in there, emby will pick up that folder and display those videos in the 'movie' category. I don't even need to create a library or anyting. Apparently the native scanning that emby does is starting at the "/" folder to look for videos.

Is this an emby thing, or am I doing something wrong with my Docker container? I'm getting kind of desperate, and I'll admit I'm a Docker newbie, so any thoughts on which direction I should be looking would be most appreciative.

For completeness, here's my emby compose.yaml:

services:
  emby:
    image: emby/embyserver
    container_name: embyserver
    network_mode: host # Enable DLNA and Wake-on-Lan
    environment:
      - UID=1001 # The UID to run emby as (default: 2)
      - GID=1001 # The GID to run emby as (default 2)
      - GIDLIST=1001,44,992 # A comma-separated list of additional GIDs to run emby as (default: 2)
    volumes:
      - /home/emby:/config # Configuration directory
      - /home/emby:/movies    # Media directory
      - /home/emby:/tvshows   # Media directory
      - /home/emby:/Music     # Media directory
    ports:
      - 8096:8096 # HTTP port
      - 8920:8920 # HTTPS port
    devices:
      - /dev/dri:/dev/dri # VAAPI/NVDEC/NVENC render nodes
    restart: on-failure

I created the "/movies" folder, but "/tvshows" and "/Music" don't currently exist.

I'll also admit that I'm not clear on what GIDLIST should be set to. Just the emby user/group?

Thanks!

I have a 'movies' folder as well as a 'tvshows' folder. I am faithfully putting movies in the 'movies' folder and TV shows in the 'tvshows' folder. However, when I re-scan the libraries, emby shows me the TV shows (each episode) in the movies category. Can someone point me in the right direction to get the TV shows to show up in that category by show name and then episodes beneath it?

Hi,

Every October I winterize the camper and pack it away until May. During that time I put my Starlink account on "Standby" to reduce the costs. However, I would like to consider being able to use it during outages at my home.

Can I purchase another Gen3 router to connect to the existing dish?

Edit: The dish I have is the standard dish, not the mini.
