Traveling with remote

I'm looking for a way to travel with my Roku remote so that the buttons are not pressed when it is packed. Space is at a premium, so I would like the slimmest way possible to keep the buttons covered. Currently, I take the batteries out, but it just adds extra complication. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Am I in the minority here?

Sometimes I feel like I am in the minority of the Plex users in this group. I have been a lifetime Plex Pass holder for about 10 years, but I use Plex for myself and my immediate family members…. At home and when we travel. So many posts talk about people having large groups of users. I mean, I can read between the lines here, but I also have to read every post with a grain of salt to see if this is an average household plex user, or someone who regularly sees 10+ streams from their server.

UPDATE: I am not alone

Automating my backup

After a pretty disastrous data loss when a hard drive corrupted, I learned the real truth that raid is not the same as backup. So now I'm doing something about it. I am using my old Synology NAS as a destination to do weekly backups from my Ugreen DXP 4800 pro.

I thought rsync was the answer, but I realize that it creates .ubk file that isn't searchable. Really what I want is to have a weekly updated mirror image of my Ugreen folder structure. What is the easiest way to do this?

Moving folders between Volumes

I currently have two 8 TB drives with most of my data on them. They are set up in raid 1. I have set up another volume with a storage pool of two 16 TB drives. I would like to move all my data to the larger raid 1 volume. Realize I could just execute a copy function, but then I would have to change some of the permissions that my apps use. I see that there is a move function. How much risk am I creating in moving my files instead of copying it, and then later going back and deleting it from the old volume?

Most of you don't need to hear this, but I'll share anyway. I recently built a Unifi home network with a Cloud Gateway Fiber, 16 switch lite POE and two U7 APs. This is for my 2300 sq ft house. Looking at the dashboard and management software, I was in heaven. I absolutely loved it.

But my family has had Wi-Fi issues ever since I set it up. I finally narrowed it down to intermittent latency spikes. I have been working at it for a few days. Many people from this group have offered helpful suggestions. But in the end, it should not be this hard to have a solid Wi-Fi network. I have no channel congestion, , my TX powers have been adjusted up and down, and no other discernible issues that I can find. But my family has had enough and so I'm giving up.

I have used a TP-Link Deco mesh for years. It has always been rock solid. The software is Ho WHMO, but it gets the job done. So I've ordered an updated version to set up tonight. I hate to give up on this, but my family does not have the patience.

Thank you for all of those that offered help

I have the green checkmark. Remote access should work. Port is forwarded. But it barely works. Streaming might work for a few minutes before freezing. This happens on iOS and my Mac. I can't figure out what to fix. I recently installed a new Unifi network at home, but port forwarding seemed pretty simple.

What is weird is that I can load my library (it' slow to load, but it does), but I just can't remote stream reliably. It works fine at home.

I am looking for suggestions on what to try?

For context, I am running plex as a docker container on a. Ugreen DXP4800 Plus with HW transcoding enabled.
