That’s awesome you have a server for ripping. I made a dedicated machine using my old desktop.
Ryzen 1700, 16gb ram, 12 dvd / Blu-ray drives (one drive does 4k Blu-ray’s) and 2 more usb Blu-ray drives on top.
I ripped so many thousands of DVDs that my neighbor gave me after he passed away.
I’m in the middle of moving so everything is packed up. But this was the rack before we moved.
Networking, 3D printer, black and white laser printer and a color laser printer, several servers.
I had home assistant, Plex, Minecraft server, 7 days to die server, and many other services.
Servers are Ryzen 5950x and the other is a threadripper 24 core.
The other side of the rack was HDMI switchers and some game consoles.
Going to miss the 1gbps fiber internet, we now have Starlink.
I used a spreadsheet and labeled each box AA, AB, AC… BA, BB, BC… FA, FB, etc. it’s 2 digit codes for each box.
I then took pictures of every box as I’m filling them, and make a list of all contents in the spreadsheet.
In the end we have way too many boxes! Yikes. lol Maybe I should have gotten rid of more stuff.
I use several of the suggestions above, but also for IOS (iPhone) I use “Firefox Focus” and it clears everything when I close it and I can watch ad free.
I remember when I setup my Wordpress website years ago I had permission errors, so the Wordpress install needed read/write access to the website directory. Maybe the same in your case?
I self hosted many websites for about 20 years, but sadly I had to take it all down this year. In the process of moving to another state. Also going to really miss my 1gbps unlimited fiber connection.
I hosted my websites from windows server 2003, 2008, virtual machines, Linux, and other ways. It was fun times. I have very good up time using 2 servers and UPS battery backups.
I did not know you can disable the map, I will need to do that.
I only used the map once to see which photos may have accidentally had GPS Embedded, but turns out it was only the photos that other people took and sent me. lol
Can I just block the 3rd party company URL on my router?
I did do custom firmware for the internal drive for 4k ripping, but didn’t find the right firmware for the external ones (years ago). Maybe I can find it again once we unpack our storage. We are moving to another state now. Thanks for the info!
