I’m curious if anyone has seen a Vegas casino/hotel/resort 2-bed room, where the two beds are actually separate from each other?
I’m a terrible sleeper, the slightest noise will wake me up, and if I’m staying with a younger sibling, I kinda just want my own room. Same sibling is also just under 21 and can’t get a room on their own yet, but the big hotels won’t really let one person get two separate rooms (at least Caesars won’t).

I’m an electronics technician, and one of the systems I have to troubleshoot is a rugged computer powering a touchscreen. The harness that runs from the computer to the touchscreen is a mess of cables. For video, a DisplayPort cable plugs in to the back of the computer and is converted to HDMI inside the harness - this vendor’s solution is to strip the protective plastic off a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter, plug the DisplayPort cable into the adapter, solder the DisplayPort cable to the stripped adapter, seal it with heat shrink, and finally on to a proprietary connector on the display. 😐😑
For faster diagnosis, I’m wondering if I can use an HDMI to DisplayPort adapter with my work laptop.

I'd like to play around with Ubuntu LXD. Put Ubuntu 26.04 on a spare Raspberry Pi, installed LDX (snap install lxd, lxd init). Followed the in browser instructions, downloaded a cert, added to Keychain, ran the next command and.... nothing. Close and reopen, reboot the Mac, reboot the Pi, no difference. Rebooted the next day and tried again with a new cert and it worked right away. Sweet. Came back two days later ready to try some things out and back to

I’ve been getting warnings that port 1 on my Enterprise 8 PoE switch is “experiencing frequent STP role state changes.”
Port 1 on that switch is a U7 Pro.
Normally I have three UniFi cameras plugged into it as well. They’re unplugged while I’m troubleshooting (one of the cameras was on port 6).
(Not currently concerned about the “Loss of receive signal detected on SFP inserted into USW Aggregation Port 3.” That’s to a Thunderbolt adapter for my laptop, and I get that when I unplug and move my laptop.)
I do not have any duplicate loops in my system. UniFi Dream Machine Pro > UniFi Switch Aggregation > UniFi Enterprise 8 PoE. Currently, the U7 Pro is the only device plugged in to that

Is there a local metadata type for a music file that will map to Plex music's "Review" section?
I would like to include information in the "Review" section, usually something about the source of the file or the remaster info. I currently put that info in the metadata field "Comment". I've tried adding a metadata field called "Review", and then manually refreshing the album, but it doesn't work.

I’m trying to see if there is any reason to get a Pro Max 24 PoE switch ($800), when 2x Pro Max 16 PoE switches are the same price (2x $400)?
All I can really come up with is
With 2x Pro Max 16 PoE, I’d likely have to add 2x rack mount kits, making it $900 vs $800, and we’d take up 2U instead of 3U of space.
But that’s literally all the downside I can see.
The Pro Max 24 PoE has more PoE++ ports, but I think we’re only using one PoE++ port, so that doesn’t concern me.
We’re not using the RPS, so the port on the back of the Pro Max 24 PoE doesn’t have any benefit.
Is there anything I’m overlooking?

I’d like to have two separate sources with a Plex install through Docker.
The compose file example is:
volumes:
- <path/to/plex/database>:/config
- <path/to/transcode/temp>:/transcode
- <path/to/media>:/data
Can I have two sources? For example:
volumes:
- volume1:/config
- volume2:/transcode
- /mnt/server01:/data01
- /mnt/server02:/data02
Or would they have to be inside the Data folder? For example
volumes:
- volume1:/config
- volume2:/transcode
- /mnt/server01:/data/server01
- /mnt/server02:/data/server02
Or should I map the entire /mnt/ directory to /data?
Any help here would be lovely. Thanks!

I’m working on getting access to a big upcoming concert, and I’m really curious about bringing a 100-400mm lens. I’ve always had outstanding luck with my 70-200mm G Master 1, like seriously that lens seems to have won the glass lottery and then some. But if I get this it would be my first time with a camera in a 10,000+ capacity venue.
Sony’s 100-400mm G Master is f/4.5-5.6 and Sigma’s best is f/5-6.3, so that’s a lot of light lost compared to my 70-200mm at f/2.8 (there is Sigma’s 300-600mm f/4, but that’s a lot of lens to carry around a venue). So I wonder just how awful of an idea it would be to get a monopod? I see some monopods have tripod floor stands, I think that would be too

Ubiquiti:
"Forwards mDNS requests across VLANs to enable service discovery between networks."
From their Learn More link: "transmit across different networks" and "forwards multicast traffic from devices between different networks (VLANs)". Seems like it's good for people who want to AirPlay from a phone on one VLAN to an Apple TV on another VLAN.
Wikipedia:
"Resolves hostnames to IP addresses within small networks that do not include a local name server."
Somehow I need mDNS turned on at a site where a Chrome user loses the ability to print to a wired printer. Both devices are wired, both devices are on the same VLAN, both devices have a static IP. Something something Chrome i

I’m working with a situation where a lot of embedded devices need to be reprogrammed. The current method involves uninstalling them, installing a replacement unit, bringing the old unit back to the office, plugging an Ethernet cable in, and the device will restore its configuration from an external server. Then we put it in a pile and use the newly reprogrammed unit for the next device that needs repair/replacement.
There’s some internal politics here. These devices are absolute trash, but we’re being held hostage by an exceptionally awful service agreement - if we bypass or replace these devices then we lose the service contract for lots and lots of devices we actually need a service co
