Brand New guy here looking to get started. Then transition existing das.

I currently have a das with 2 drives and a functional Plex running. I bought 2 more hard drives and want to transition to unraid. Long story short can I build out unraid on a new mini pc outside of my current das, then just move my das over once I understand how it works? I also want to run some other docker things that I will be trialing so that I can learn without impacting Plex. Am I going to be making things harder on myself doing it this way? I'm smart but not necessarily computer smart yet. I can learn but also I'm a busy dad. Thanks in advance.

Progressive overload?

New to the platform but I'm trying to figure out if there is an easy way for it to increase my weights? I've created my own routines and each time I do the program it is the base. It will update if I remove an exercise or something but the weight will always stay at the base level. It doesn't even increase to my last lifted weight. It's that just how it is? I would rather not need to go update the routine every time I increase.

Existing data on new unraid with das

Tried searching but my specifics seem unique. I have about 10tb of data on a qnap tlr400. Two 18tb hard drives in a jbod configuration. From reading the manual I can't just add hard drives to this and change raid types. They want to wipe the drives and only start fresh with any raid types change. Maybe that's only because I was using the das hardware raid selection? Anyway unraid seems to be the better solution but I would like to save the data. Can I move all the data onto 1 new drive, wipe old drives, insert all 4 drives into das and configure with a new unraid setup? Sorry if the question is dumb. But from the videos and reading I've done it seems like it should work. My largest drive will enter blank if that matters.

Batching painkillers for tomorrow.

So I want to run the slushi most of the day tomorrow. We are having a big party with about 50 people. 2 parts pineapple, 1 part orange juice, 1 part coconut cream right? I'm planning on just freezing the mixer and adding the rum after. I've seen some recipes call for water and others that don't. Do I need water? Also would 3 gallons of mixer be enough?

Qbittorrent seems to be crashing my protonvpn.

I'm not sure what is happening. I've been running things basically the same for a while now but I'm the last week or two my vpn will disconnect and reconnect. Qbit does what it is supposed to and stops. But the port changes and therefore qbit never reconnects. I've got split tunneling enabled only blocking qbit and Firefox to enable my Plex server to still run. I get roughly 5 minutes of runtime before proton disconnects. Any help would be appreciated. Running on latest version of qbit. Windows 11 and using the paid version of proton vpn.

Saving for disco labs?

How much are you willing to save towards a disco lab? I don't think we need to really talk about which level since I would like to help and understand everybody. But in my case I'm saving for lab 11 I think which is 5.6Q. A little over 2 days farming.

Help with guardians after getting sl+

I've got my summon to 100 cd to sync with my gbot. Max duration. Then I put all the rest of my bits into fetch. Should I go back to just minimum fetch to put the rest into scout?

Interesting results with gb and bb

Using my free bot respec I switched for last tournament to my amplify. Saw that I had enough medals to upgrade so I did. But after I didn't have enough medals to switch back lol. So I had to change my farming setup. Landed on this from my first picture. Both ranges and cds maxed. And the results are in! Even though gb had 4 less overall second duration and the bonus wasn't as high I still got about 8% more cph! Nothing changed between runs. I know general consensus is to completely max gb before moving on but that has not been true for my tower.

Is it worth revisiting if I missed disco by 100 waves?

In this case it is utility but I think for others it will be beneficial to just know how much of a difference it makes for any of the things. I'm sure I can get it but it just takes that 4+ hours. Which for me is a whole farm run.

Getting constant leaks from this seal.

So as you can see I have tried to diy a repair a couple times now and been moderately successful. Meaning it lasts for a time then fails again. Is this something I can fix? I imagine I would need to cut the pipe completely and replace it? It goes to a big T fitting in the bottom.

Looking for kids playlists. Under 10. But would enjoy adult stuff that excluded the explicit

My kids love to listen to music and I'm trying to set up their own accounts. I would like to just setup a jukebox style player for them and allow them to play on their own but make it simple with happy songs, rock songs, and pop songs etc. but I need it to be kid friendly. I've searched through Spotify and have some lists but would love more.

Best investment between assmod labs?

I currently don't make enough to perma more then 2 assist mod labs so I'm trying to decide which 2 are best. I think for straight econ it is obvious that Gen multiplier is best. But then I'm torn between gen sub and core sub. Generator will increase free ups and core will increase up times on my ultimates. Bh and Gt are already permanent but more gt is always better for gt+. I think dw is really really close to permanent if not permanent.

Why is this transcoding?

I'm still very new to this so sorry if the question is obvious. But I finally got this Plex setup on my son's very inexpensive android tablet. Put on a cartoon and even though it is a pretty low quality it is still transcoding. And it is local. Just wondering if there is a simple fix. Thanks in advance

Minimized or even just not the primary window equals lower speed?

The first dip is when I just popped over to another window to check something then I came back to it and the second dip is when I minimized it. Any setting that I don't understand can fix this? It isn't a huge deal since this isn't on a computer I use but still a little annoying.

Possible workaround for server down announcement?

I'm a dummy so I have no idea how this would work. But I've seen a fair amount of posts asking how to notify their users of an impending down. Current state seems to be impossible. But what if somebody smart made a short possibly funny video about server maintenance incoming. Could even make a couple with different time frames like 1 day countdown or 1 week or whatever. Title it appropriately. Then you upload it and everyone that wants to downloads it. When everything is running you pull it out of the library. When maintenance is incoming you move it over and it would be the first thing showing in the recently added section. Just an idea I had.
