Comcast, as its legacy cable TV business continues to shrink, has built a new cable-style bundle for the streaming era.
Beginning next week, the cable giant will offer StreamSaver, a package that includes NBCUniversal’s Peacock Premium (with ads), Netflix Basic (with ads) and Apple TV+ for a discounted price, available to TV and broadband customers in its footprint.
As an add-on to Comcast TV or broadband, the StreamSaver bundle will cost $15 per month — a discount of at least 35% compared with price of the services purchased separately. In addition, Comcast will offer Netflix and Apple TV+ to its Now TV streaming-only service, which has Peacock and 40 free, ad-supported streaming TV channels, for $30 per month (versus $20/month without them).
Dave Watson, president and CEO of Comcast Cable, announced the details Tuesday at J.P. Morgan’s 2024 Global Technology, Media and Communications Conference.
“These are three premium streaming services that are combined in one compelling package,” Watson said, noting that StreamSaver is focused on boosting Comcast’s broadband business. “It’s a home run for consumers… We’re thrilled to have Netflix and Apple as partners.”
On a standalone basis, the trio of services would cost $23-$25 per month: The ad-supported Peacock Premium is $5.99/month, going up to $7.99/month in July; Netflix Basic with ads costs $6.99/month; and the standard Apple TV+ plan at $9.99/month.
Watson said the priority for Comcast Cable is “investing in the network for the long haul,” in the anticipation that there will be “more streaming, more consumption” over time.
Comcast chief Brian Roberts first announced plans for StreamSaver one week ago at another investor conference. “We’ve been bundling video successfully and creatively for 60 years, and so this is the latest iteration of that,” Roberts said. “I think this will be a pretty compelling package.”
Bundles aggregating streaming services from would-be competitors have gained new popularity among traditional media companies, which view them as a way to cut customer-acquisition costs and reduce churn (i.e., cancelation rates).
Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery have announced a triple-play bundle comprising Max, Disney+ and Hulu, to be available starting this summer in the U.S. (with pricing yet to be announced). In addition, Venu Sports — a joint venture of Disney, WBD and Fox Corp. — anticipates launching a sports-centered live-streaming bundle in the fall of 2024, pending regulatory approval. There’s no word on pricing for Venu at this point.
Meanwhile, Disney offers discounted bundles with Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+ and has pushed to integrate them even more tightly together. Disney+ recently added a tile for Hulu (for customers with both services) and is using the tie-in to promote the bundle. In December, Disney+ will add a hub for ESPN+, providing some free games and programming to those who don’t subscribe to the sports package in a bid to upsell them.

Previous Part
By the time I’d woke up bright and early at 4 A.M., Rocco had amassed an impressive pile of pilfered food in the corner of the tepee. He was just dragging in a turkey leg when I saw him, must’ve been at it all night form the looks of it.
“Rocco, what the hell!”
I shouted, waving my hands at the pile of food he’d brought in.
“I told you to stay out of trouble, lay low. This is… not that!”
I complained, trying to think of how I’d talk my way out of this if anyone asked about the missing food. Rocco simply responded by shrugging, turning around, and diving face first into the mountain of food. I was annoyed at the moment but then I got to thinking. If Rocco stole all that and no one saw him what else could he do without being noticed?
“Hey… hey Rocco no-one saw you stealing all this right?”
I asked, grabbing his tail and dragging him out of the food mountain.
“WHATS DA BIG IDEA!”
He protested, flailing around as I held him in the air by his tail before regaining his composure and adding.
“I’m a profesional, of course I didn’t get seen. Why?! Did someone say something!?
Rocco shot his head from side to side, like he would find someone listening or critiquing his heist. All the movement causing him to spin slowly, still dangling from his tail.
“No, I was just thinking, as long as your out here I could have a job for you.”
I said, setting him down as he answered,
“Whad’ya mean? Spit it out!”
with his classic charm.
“I mean, I want you to sneak into that blonde guy’s tepee. The one with the shitty attitude, Brooke I think his name was. Just see if you can find anything in there.”
I could see Rocco’s interest was peaked but he still had one last all to predictable question.
“What’s in it for me?”
“You keep whatever you find in there no questions asked.”
Before the words even left fully my lips Rocco cried, “DEAL” and sprinted out of the tepee on all fours, leaving me alone.
I wasn’t really sure what the process was now, was Shaoni going to come get us or did she expect us to meet her in the coliseum? I’d never been part of anything like this before, I had no idea what the attendance policy was like. So, lacking anything better to do, I walked down into the mines and waited in the coliseum. It was obvious they were’t really ready for us yet. A few of Shaoni’s people were down there placing cactus looking things into five carved wooden bowls on the floor. Five bowls, five people in these trials so those had to have something to do with us. I looked around the room, trying to find Shaoni. She wasn’t up on her perch like yesterday and she certainly wasn’t part of the small group setting up those bowls. I felt a little different about her now that we’d had a chance to talk. Before I’d been afraid of her, and for good reason, but she seemed to want the opposite of that. Maybe not from me specifically but in general. Although, how could you not be scared of someone who could turn into a giant bird and seemed to consistently be the cause of freak storms. There was a lot of power to her but she didn’t want people to be afraid of it, she wanted respect. I’m sure there was more to her that I hadn’t heard but I certainly was going to hear anything new here.
Seeing as I was still apparently early, I decided not to wear out my welcome in the coliseum. I made my way back out of the mines and settled down back at that canvas tent with the huge table. It was again filled with food that had come from nowhere in particular, probably set up by more of Shaoni’s people. As if to confirm my suspicion, the bandaged man Bianca had stabbed earlier emerged from the camp, walking towards me with a platter of bacon. He starred daggers at me as he placed the platter at the table but didn’t say anything. I was almost tempted to apologize on Bianca’s behalf but I got the sense that wouldn’t be a great idea. Not long after I saw two of the others approaching.
“… Sure, but for some glorified tent it’s still pretty comfortable.”
Brooke said to Katrina who looked thoroughly uninterested in what he had to say.
Brooke wore a… purple suit that made him look like some stereotypical version of a pimp. I couldn’t think of any reason he’d wear that out here, at least no-one would mistake him from anyone else, that ’s for sure. Katrina wore an equally confusing getup, a blue tank top and jeans that made her look kinda like the girl from those tomb raider games. It was about 50 degrees out and probably wasn’t going to get much warmer. If she wanted to freeze, so be it. I gave a slight nod to them as they sat down across from me. Katrina still eyeing Brooke with an expression that begged for him not to open his mouth again.
I couldn’t stop staring at her, no not like that, I was staring at her belt where a holster sat,
“You like it?”
She asked, noticing the staring that I should’ve been trying harder to hide, drawing the handgun from the holster on her hip.
“Beretta M9 semi-automatic pistol, my father’s service pistol actually. Always served me well, so I always keep it on me, well almost always.”
She said with a wink, checking the gun and pulling back its slide. I wasn’t all that familiar with guns but I distinctly saw her flip the safety off. Which had a profound effect on my nerves considering I was staring down its barrel.
“They let you keep that around here? I would’ve thought they take that from you.”
I asked incredulously, still eyeing the gun she had pointed at me.
“I hid it on me yesterday, if they have an issue with it they can try and take it from me. I’m not doing anything like this without some kind of insurance. They get me and Luke or nothing at all.”
She retorted, spinning the gun back into her holster and turning the safety back on with a practiced hand. “Oh that’s cute, she named it” I thought sarcastically as my nerves settled, a loaded gun no longer pointed directly at my face.
“I’m not sure Shaoni would let you leave, even if you wanted to.”
“Oh please! She wouldn’t dare lay a finger on me or she’d have bigger problems coming her way.”
Katrina laughed, throwing her hand back in seemingly genuine amusement. She really didn’t have a care about the Thunderbird? I found that hard to believe.
“So what do you do anyways then? If you’re so sure she wouldn’t touch you.”
I asked incredulously. This seemed to grab her attention as she immediately snapped her head down, locking eyes with me and barking,
“That’s a need to know thing and you don’t.”
Before returning her attention to the food on the table and ignoring me. She was military, that was probably a safe assumption.
Brooke had been listening in to our conversation as he ate. After Katrina snapped at me he finally spoke up.
“So hang on, you came all the way out here with no insurance, no protection? Does anyone even know you’re out here?”
I briefly thought about Rocco, he wasn’t great insurance but he sure came cheap. I hadn’t stopped to think about preparing anything to bring out here with me. I just stupidly assumed everyone was on the same page as me, an unprepared fish out of water.
“No, I guess not.”
I responded, a little shaken at the realization that everyone here was probably more prepared than me.
“You must be stupid or have balls of steel to do something like that.”
Brooke told me, reaching over the table to clap me on the shoulder. I didn’t know if this really was the Brooke Bianca told me about or not but I really did not like this guy. We ate the rest of our breakfast in silence. John and Robert never showed up but I guessed they were down in the mines helping set everything up. I guess being a participate in the trials didn’t exempt Shaoni's followers from having to help get ready for them.
Apparently my guess was right because Robert and John were both already in the coliseum when the three of us arrived. Shaoni was once again up on the balcony and all of the people that had been there earlier were gone. I could clearly see what was in the five bowls now. It was some kind of small cactus thing with a white-pink flower at the top. I’d never seen anything like it before but it did seem a little out of place.
“This is your first trial, the trial of morals. This trial is meant to show us where your morals lie through visions of the past and beyond. Sometimes the plant has a mind of its own though so I don’t expect anyone will have the same experience. Some may not even serve the purpose of the trial but the vision is more important than anything I hoped to learn.”
Shaoni spoke like an announcer from above us.
“There is a plant there for each of you, peyote plants that I had grow for just this occasion. Each of you will eat one of the plants and they will give you visions. You will walk among the spirits and they will show you what you need to see.”
Shaoni finished, like she hadn’t just asked us to take hallucinogenics in an unfamiliar environment surrounded by people we didn’t really trust. I wasn’t a huge fan of being here when I was in control of my faculties but while experiencing a vision, oh no, fat chance. Then again it wasn’t like I had all that much of a choice, I realized just before I opened my mouth to protest.
“Fine but what does that tell you about us? Sure we can go get high for you here but it doesn’t really help anyone.”
Brooke spoke up, taking his usual disrespectful tone with Shaoni.
“I have my ways of knowing, but this experiences is for you. It should tell you more about yourself than it will tell me but I assure you, I will learn something.”
An annoyed but composed Shaoni responded. With that she turned and left us to our task.
“So does anyone want to go first?”
Katrina asked, putting a finger to her nose, inviting anyone else to go first.
“Not so fast sweetcheeks, I don’t trust any of you so how about you take the first crack at it?”
Brooke pointedly suggested. I think Katrina wanted to throw a haymaker at his face right then but I stepped in first.
“What if we all did it at once? Then no one is waiting around and I highly doubt she would let anyone come down here and do anything to us if these trials are that important to her.”
I reasoned, pointing up at the balcony Shaoni had been standing on.
“I still don’t like it but I can live with that, I agree everyone at once like… what’s your name?”
“Keith”
“Everyone at once like Keith said.”
Commanded Katrina, looking everyone in the eye and daring them to challenge her. I didn’t know what she did before coming here but whatever it was gave her a glare even Shaoni would be proud of. No-one hesitated to walk up to their respective bowls and take a bite of the strange pinkish flower at the top of the cactus.
The effects weren’t immediate, John just ate his flower then knelt by his bowl, eyes closed waiting for the vision to come. Robert leaned against the wall looking at his watch, seemingly judging the time before it took effect.
“It’s not my first time with peyote, I’ll probably stay up a little longer than you guys.”
Brooke bragged to the room, taking a seat by his bowl as Katrina and I did the same.
Poetically, Brooke was actually the first of us to go down for the count. I had to resit the urge to stand up and kick the crumpled up purple ball that was formerly Brooke. I don’t think anyone would have stopped me, heck the way Katrina was glaring at him this morning she might’ve joined in. But given what came next it was probably a good idea I didn’t stand. All of a sudden the room began flashing different colors, orange then brown then blue. I felt like I was falling but I hadn’t moved. Eventually a sensation came over me, like I had stood up but I was acutely aware of the fact that my body was really lying on the floor of the coliseum. As my vision cleared I started to recognize things, sights and sounds of a hospital room. It would seem my vision had started by bringing me back to my father.
I inched through the hospital room, sure of what I’d see on the other side of the thin curtain. A heart monitor beeped, just the same as the first and last time I’d been in this room. I saw my father, splayed across the bed no different than the only time I’d been in this room. I’ve always maintained that my family life was generally normal, anything that lay outside of that box of normality could be attributed to my father. He was never what I’d call a good person. Sure, he was never aggressive towards me but it didn't really count for anything. You could tell he never really wanted me. What he did to my mother, that was another story. He came home drunk almost every night and she end up with a black eye or worse at least once a week. Unfortunately for us he had a good job, he paid the bills and my mother and I couldn’t really support ourselves on our own back then. Worse still my mother always told me she put up with it for my sake when I asked her about it. That meant I always felt partially responsible every time I heard a fist meet skin in the room below mine.
My father had ended up in this bed by way of a drunk driving incident. Funnily enough it wasn’t actually his fault. He just so happened to be in the wrong intersection at the wrong time when a box truck plowed right into him. The accident left him with severe brain and spinal damage. It was a sick joke he survived, not a miracle. He’d be on life support from now on. I could’ve made him pay for everything he did with the simple tug of a cable. The only reason I didn’t was that the owner of the company that employed the box truck driver offered to pay all his medical bills. He must not have looked to closely because my fathers insurance was covering all of it. But every week a hefty check came in the mail anyways. As long as he was alive and in that hospital bed, me and my mother could live comfortably. It wasn’t really the right thing to do but I figured it was what my mother deserved after years of putting up with his abuse.
The heart monitor’s shrill beeping focused me back to the situation. I stood over my father’s body, the old urge to just pull the plug washing over me again.
“It would be so easy. Mom’s fine now, you’re managing, why do you still need him?”
I thought to myself, toying with the idea as another voice spoke in my head, Shaoni’s voice.
“He’s earned it, he ruined years of your mother’s life, Its only fair he pay a price for what he did.”
I looked around for the source of her voice but I saw nothing, maybe I was just hearing things, it was just a vision after all right? I looked down to see I was now on the opposite side of the bed, hand reaching toward the cord that powered the life support. Time seemed to move at a crawl, was this really the best option? He was probably solely responsible for the distance between my mother and I, he beat her so many times. Some of the blame for it even sat on my shouldres, would killing him take that away? Could I live with myself if I did this? Knowing I took the easy way out at his expense. No… I couldn’t, it would make me just as bad as him. It just wasn’t right I shouldn’t be the one to decide if he dies. Besides, whatever sliver of sentience remained in him deserved to watch as he shriveled and died in his own way, in some ways that was far worse but he didn’t deserve an easy way out either. The room spun as I made my choice and pulled my hand back from the plug. Sending my vision spiraling as my body collapsed to the cold hospital floor. When I finally fought my way through my spinning vision and back to my feet I was somewhere else. I was in Imalone and if I had to guess it was the night I first saw Shaoni.
I was somewhere in the town square where I got chained into the wooden monstrosity the cultists had made. Shaoni was circling in the sky so I guess I was watching this memory from outside of myself. I was made absolutely sure of this when I saw myself being carried out of the old rotting bar. I watched as the situation played out exactly as I remembered it. Right up until Shaoni landed and came to speak with the one masked cultist. What had been gibberish to me before was suddenly crystal clear english.
“What IS this! You think this is right!? This is what you think I stand for, human sacrifice?!”
Shaoni shouted with such intensity and force I jumped back, looking for a place to take cover.
“Brother Aaron foretold your approach, this outsider wandered in so we thought he would make an excellent gift to you.”
The masked cultist answered, missing the point entirely as Shaoni’s eyes flashed with fury.
“There will be a sacrifice alright, a price must be paid for everything you’ve done here. You have no understanding of what I stand for, You’ve spit in the face of it in fact and for that, each and every one of you will make a sacrifice. Release that poor boy, NOW!”
Shaoni commanded the cultists with a voice so stern I almost ran to try and free the trapped version of myself. None of them budged, they didn’t even seem to realize what kind of danger they were in. Shaoni strode past them over to me where she offered me her all to familiar deal. I was stunned, I never stopped to think that she fully intended to let me go either way. Sure, now I knew that these guys weren’t her usual followers. I still never thought she came here intending to wipe them out. I didn’t really have a chance to dwell on it. Before I knew it Shaoni was transforming again causing a tornado to appear in the middle of town as lightning struck around the area like machine gun fire. As the wall of wind rain and lighting reached me I felt a familiar falling sensation and blacked out again.
When I came to I was back on the cave floor again. I wasn’t sure if I was still in a vision until I felt a sharp kick to my side.
“Oh… that felt… very real. Oh god why?”
I groaned as I looked up at the smirking Katrina.
“He’s awake, that’s everyone then.”
She called out to the rest of the group who were all standing around me. She and the others walked off in the direction of the exit, leaving me there on the floor. With nothing better to do I followed them out. Outside the full moon had shown itself, bathing the camp in shimmering moonlight. Shaoni walked up to greet all of us who’d just collectively decided to just go outside.
“You’ve all made it through it would seem, I hope your experiences weren’t to unpleasant.”
Brooke charged straight past her, I could practically see the steam coming out of his ears. Obviously he’d seen something he didn’t like while he was under the influence of that plant. Katrina seemed completely unaffected, marching by Shaoni filled with the same confidence she had when I first saw her. Robert and John seemed completely unaffected by whatever they had seen but something told me they might be used to it. Me, I wasn’t doing so great. I wasn’t all that pleased about revisiting my father and all those old memories and whatever that flower was called had really done a number on me. I weakly waved to Shaoni as I walked by, just trying to focus on walking straight. She didn’t seem to surprised that none of us wanted to talk to her. She didn’t say anything to us as we all quietly sat and ate. I didn’t like the silence, it felt like everyone was just waiting for something to happen but no-one had any idea what. So I got up and headed back to my tepee, maybe Rocco had turned something up on Brooke.
Rocco was waiting for me atop his mountain of food when I got back.
“I found somethin yous might be interested in”
He said triumphantly, waving around a polaroid photo he had clutched in his paw.
“Give that to me!”
I snapped, ripping it right out of his paw.
“Well someones in a mood.”
“Getting drugged will do that to you.”
I snapped as Rocco stared at me, paws on his hips like he was about to give me attitude.
“I’m sorry My heads still just spinning from… well everything today.”
I sighed, holding my head in one hand as I shook it. Apologizing to a raccoon, my life really was something wasn’t it? I looked down to the picture enemy hand and immediately ice shot through my veins. It was a picture of Bianca taken not too long ago by the looks of it. She was walking back into her house in the photo and it looked like it was taken from a passing car. The photo itself isn’t what really concerned me though, the message written on the back did that. “What you seek can be found in the town of Eagles Peak”, the note read in a singsongy way. I’d never seen Shaoni’s handwriting but given the circumstances I was sure that’s what I was looking at.
I looked up at Rocco who looked more serious than I’d ever seen him.
“Now I don’t know what happened to that girl but somethin’ hurt her before we knew her. If that’s the somethin’ that did, and I’m guessin’ it is lookin’ atcha’. I say we should hurt em’ back.”
Rocco told me with cold steel in his voice. It was weird, hearing him speak without a hint of a joke or over exaggerated movement. We finally found something that the little menace to society could focus on, something… productive.
“My hands are tied, I don’t think anyone here would take kindly to me just attacking someone. Besides, look at him, he’s taller and obviously stringer than me. I’m just a scrawny guy who’s way out of his element, I don’t want a fight. Just… keep an eye on him, maybe we can find something to turn the others against him?”
It wasn’t the answer Rocco was looking for, that’s for sure. He deflated at my words, I’m sure he wanted to go in guns blazing and confront Brooke with what we thought we knew. That wasn’t really going to be an option here, even if it was I’d rather not do that.
“Oh, one more thing, Don’t let Brooke go back into town if he tries to leave, I don’t care how you do it just don’t let him leave.”
I added as an evil grin crossed Rocco’s face.
“Aye’ aye’ captain!”
He cried, raising a paw to his head and saluting me.
Just then I heard someone knocking, no rustling? Screwing around with the front flap to the tepee trying to get my attention. I opened it only to see, “Shaoni?”
“I wanted to ask about the visions today, I’ve talked to everyone else but I couldn’t find you so I guessed you’d be at… is that a raccoon?”
Shaoni stopped, seeing Rocco frozen mid step behind me as he tried and failed to run before she saw him. Realizing he’d been seen Rocco twirled around and in a way only he could announced,
“Whatcha’ think you were looking at Pocahontas?”
“Oh? It talks as well?”
Shaoni said, somewhere between bewildered and bemused as she looked between me and the mouthy Raccoon.
“Course I talk! I thought you woulda’ seen somethin’ like that when you were busy painting with all the colors of the wind!”
Rocco yelled back at her. I wasn’t sure if he was actually offended by Shaoni’s questions, or just deliberately trying to be a nuisance, probably the second thing. I whirled around and glared at Rocco, holding my finger to my mouth in an attempt to shut him up. For once he actually listened.
“I… sorry about him, he’s always like that, part of his charm you know.”
I said with a shrug and a nervous chuckle. Shaoni shook her head dismissively and continued.
“Did you see anything in the cave that you wanted to talk about?”
She asked me, now sounding a little annoyed. I thought back to my father and that hospital room, I wasn’t really ready to talk about that with anyone just yet. But I did have some new questions about how I got into this whole mess in the first place.
“You said back in Imalone you saved me because I realized there was a price for being saved. That wasn’t really it though was it? I saw it again, I could understand you this time. You were going to save me regardless. So why mark me Shaoni? Why did you really bring me here?!”
I said, my voice raising outside of my control as I spoke. I had to finally admit to myself that I was sick and tired of being dragged around in the dark. I was suddenly furious and I didn’t care who it was standing in front of me, I wanted an answer.
“Those men were ruining my name, they thought they were following the Thunderbird but it was just some idea of me they had come up with. They used me to justify their horrid actions and I came to put a stop to it. You were there and when I offered you a deal you didn’t fight it. That’s why I marked you.”
Shaoni spoke quickly, like she wanted to avoid the subject, all but turning around and leaving right then.
“Bullshit! I want an answer Shaoni, a real answer!”
I yelled at her, my fury taking full control of me. Shaoni was silent for a minute, when she finally spoke she looked down, never meeting my eyes as she softly said.
“You remind me of someone from a long time ago. They were blind to the way of things at first, an outsider even. In time though, he became what bound our people together as one family. I don’t have a better answer for you than that. I wasn’t sure I should’ve chosen you at first, I had a feeling that day and I followed it. What you’ve done since you’ve got here, how you’ve handled learning what little you know about the world of the supernatural. Those things are what tell me I made the right choice.”
As she walked away I thought I saw tears reflecting in the moonlight shown on her face. As I settled down I swore I heard soft sobs, echoing across the camp long into the night.

Since yesterday after returning home from work my Wi-Fi is no longer working. Some details:

1. I have an Arris Surfboard SBG10 routemodem combo. I've used this for 2+ years without issue. Just moved last month and it connected to the new service just fine. All the lights are on just fine, though the bottom one is flickering [the ((.)) one]. And yes, I tried resetting the modem/router and even changed cable outlets and tried a different cable cord.
   
2. My Wi-Fi connection is selectable on my iPhone but I do not get any service from it. Even when I'm not trying to access a new webpage on my phone's browser, I get popups saying "Cannot Verify Server Identity" from web addresses like outlook.office365.com and susi.comcast.net.
   
3. Reported an issue with Xfinity and they say there are no outages detected in my area.
   
4. My Samsung TV and HP laptop are also not connecting so I know it's not just a phone problem.
   
5. If I go into my xfinity app my modem/router is no longer listed.
   

Please help so I don't have to sit on a phone line with customer service. I saw another thread suggest my modem/router could just be at the end of its lifespan. It was a cheaper one, I definitely didn't pay more than $80 for it.
Open to any and all suggestions.

Beginning next week, the cable giant will offer StreamSaver, a package that includes NBCUniversal’s Peacock Premium (with ads), Netflix Basic (with ads) and Apple TV+ for a discounted price, available to TV and broadband customers in its footprint.
As an add-on to Comcast TV or broadband, the StreamSaver bundle will cost $15 per month — a discount of at least 35% compared with price of the services purchased separately. In addition, Comcast will offer Netflix and Apple TV+ to its Now TV streaming-only service, which has Peacock and 40 free, ad-supported streaming TV channels, for $30 per month (versus $20/month without them).

Hello,
I'd like some fair exchange for those, i'm willing to put more than one game against a game i really want, depends on the offer. I could accept Paypal, but that's not my goal (just getting games i'd like to play). I might want to keep something in those lists, i also have some other Humble and Fanatical games i'm not sure i'll play, so they might appear one day (could be money for an exchange if you have something from my wishlist, don't hesitate to ask). I'm from Europe, that might matter for Keys or gift links. Also, i have many games now, and a lot to do yet, so i might be very picky, even for games on my wishlist (it's more a list for interesting games, that i might want in an undetermined future if i have time).
(HB Unrevealed Key = i have it still unrevealed, but will provide a key, considering the Humble view on trading games)
For people living in France, i also have some old games in boxes that i can send by post, ask me if interested.

I could accept Paypal, but that's not my goal (just getting games i'd like to play). I might want to keep something in those lists, i also have some other Humble and Fanatical games i'm not sure i'll play, so they might appear one day (could be money for an exchange if you have something from my wishlist, don't hesitate to ask).

+ offers, i'll browse lists, and eventually take Paypal, but i'm more interested in Paypal & TF2, but i'm more interested in games trades

Hello,
I'd like some fair exchange for those, i'm willing to put more than one game against a game i really want, depends on the offer. I could accept Paypal, but that's not my goal (just getting games i'd like to play). I might want to keep something in those lists, i also have some other Humble and Fanatical games i'm not sure i'll play, so they might appear one day (could be money for an exchange if you have something from my wishlist, don't hesitate to ask). I'm from Europe, that might matter for Keys or gift links. Also, i have many games now, and a lot to do yet, so i might be very picky, even for games on my wishlist (it's more a list for interesting games, that i might want in an undetermined future if i have time).
(HB Unrevealed Key = i have it still unrevealed, but will provide a key, considering the Humble view on trading games)
For people living in France, i also have some old games in boxes that i can send by post, ask me if interested.

Hi everyone, looking to build my first server. What started as an excuse to build a SFF PC to host game servers for my friends and personal Plex has turned into a much broader scope. Bare with me, I have a lot to say and a lot of questions and I LOVE TO LEARN. Feel free to direct me to other subreddits or resources if some of this is beyond the scope of this subreddit.
A little about me. I am a jack of all trades master of none. i was a cable tech for 3 years and know basic networking and can run cable for days. ive been building computers and messing with tech since i was a kid (25+ years) currently self teaching linux and cyber security. I know enough to get in trouble about a lot of things.
To start the build will be as follow:
-Ryzen 7 5700G (bought) iGPU should be fine, unless recommended otherwise, i have a few spares lying around
-ASRock B550 Phantom Gaming-ITX/AX (Bought)
-Patriot Viper Steel DDR4 RAM 64GB (2X32GB) 3600MHz CL18 UDIMM (bought) [or 32GB Corsair if 64GB is overkill and give my main PC 64GB hehe]
-2x Seagate 16TB Exos X16 ST16000NM001G 7200 RPM SATA
-Fractal Design Terra
USES:

1. Game Servers: Minecraft, Valhiem, Palworld Etc. Only one active at a time 4person max.
2. Plex Server: 90% local, one family member overseas, mostly our old movies and tv shows I've riped. a few higher quality files. no more than 2 or 3 users at once. 1080p and 4k TVs. IDK what transcoding is so feel free to educate me.
3. Home Security: We have started to have nurses and home aid come into our house on a daily to help care for our elder family with dementia and we have several Wyze cams set up storing to SD. im looking to have that directed to local storage for 24/7 recording as we want nothing on the cloud for security reasons. I know Wyze can do this with custom firmware but looking to switch brands for native, like UniFi. (Recommendations welcome)
4. Networking Projects *maybe*: I have a PiHole on a RPi that i know i could run in docker, but i know little about docker as i havent played with it yet. I've been looking into OPNSense but really not important.
5. Home Lab *again maybe*: VM for cybersecurity practice/play but ill prob just use my laptop or a completely separate pc for this

So now my question...
What software/OS should i be looking at? i was originally just planing on windows as thats what im most comfortable with and i can remote in for steam or plex and thats what its set up on now. Ive been seeing people say UnRaid or Proxmox, should i just run windows and VM everything? Hardware im set, i need help with the next step
Thanks in advance so any knowledge and guidence!
Tl;Dr: what OS/Software should I use for a combo game server, home security, plex server? extra info for engagement.

I'm having some trouble connecting my Simcom A7672 module to my ESP8266. The A7672 is on a small dev board like this
I've connected the two devices like so:

ESP8266	A7672
RX	UTX
TX	URX
G	GND

I'm not sure how to handle power. Later I'll be using a 3.7V battery, but for now I'm just powering both boards by micro-USB separately which seems to work and both boards power on and LEDs light up.
When I connect the A7672 directly to my Rasperry Pi using the micro-USB interface, I can use minicom to send AT commands to the module, and can get GPS/GNSS data back perfectly.
When I connect the A7672 to the ESP8266 with the jumper cables, it doesn't communicate at all. Minicom runs at 115,200 bps (8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, hardware flow control enabled) which is how I've configured the ESP using Lua:

(uart.setup(0, 115200, 8, 0, 1, 1)) 

But if I send an AT, I get no response at all
Would appreciate any help!

Hi everyone,
I'm currently in the process of sourcing obsolete Tyco Solarlok connectors for my solar panels, and I've hit a bit of a snag. I'm having trouble determining whether the DC cables on my panels are 4mm² or 6mm². I know that the measurement refers to the cross-sectional area, but unfortunately, there are no clear markings along the cable to help me identify the size.
The diameter of the cable, as measured with a caliper, is approximately 5.5mm. Given this measurement, is it reasonable to assume that the cables are either 4mm² or 6mm²?
Any insights or guidance from those with experience in this area would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!

With the 1 gig plan and stock nest wifi pro router that they include I'm getting terrible download speeds for what the plan should allow. Now let me clarify, if I do a speed test on the home app, or speedtest, or any of the sites, it shows that I'm getting the 940 ish mbits both up and down. But yet somehow my downloads max out at like 40mb/sec most of the time. The highest I got with Steam was 69mb/sec. The computer is connected directly to the router with a cat6 ethernet cable.
Is there something I'm missing or is the router just bad and incapable of decent sustained transfer speeds? I'd understand suspecting my computer, but I just switched from Comcast's 1 gig because of regular outages and I was regularly pulling 130-140 megabytes per second download speeds without issue. I wouldn't even care if I were getting something close (over 100 is all I was expecting), but I'm getting half.
Also this isn't just from one service, this is all services. From steam to nvidia's driver download site. I just don't get how the speed tests show good speeds and then I don't even get close in actual usage.

Moved into new apt, internet utility is included in the lease utilities so thats cool. Well management tells me I gotta call comcast customer service to get it set up.
So I do that and they're busy trying to get me to purchase a plan, I tell them I'm already apart of my apartment managements plan.
Customer service has no idea what I'm talking about and acts like I'm speaking Martian. Noticed there was a modem already in the unit with coaxial cables so i hook it up and plug ethernet into my personal computer. Literally plug and play and works instantly. Only problem is I can't figure out how to set up wireless. Ipconfig was sending me IPV6 addresses if I recall correctly.
So I guess I'm just gonna buy a travel router lol
Anyone else have a similar experience here, how did you resolve it?

Data Recovery subject: OCP Crime Prevention Unit 001
Date [standardized human time]: February 1, 2044
Last software update: February 1, 2044
[WARNING: OCP OPERATING SYSTEM OUTDATED]
Darkness. Everything pitch black as I sat tied to the steel throne I woke up on. I could only assume that the room was cold, barren of the sun’s warmth. Attempts to get up were futile, as my restraints and the cables attached to the back of my head prevented me from doing so.
I couldn’t be free.
Struggling, my mechanical body twisted and turned, metal screeching against metal. Every attempt a fight for my freedom. With one final turn, the restraints on my right arm snapped. With quick precision, the terminal strip poked out through my right fist, prompting me to jam it into the nearby control system stand. A few seconds later, the other restraints unclasped themselves.
Ripping the cables out, I stood tall in the darkness, simply countered by the night vision installed. A step forward. Something was off. Moving felt heavier, as if the motors in my body were weakened. Strange. My sensors indicate that I’m in top shape, physically and energy wise, right before my… my… I can’t seem to remember. Either way, I kept on moving forward, latching my hands onto the handles of the door.
Locked. No worries; shoving my hands forward, the door erupted, revealing me to the outside of this prison.
I certainly wasn’t expecting to be blinded immediately as the sun’s light flashed up my night vision. Frowning as a reaction, I held my hand up to block it as the night vision deactivated. It feels like it’s been years since I’ve been exposed to the sun, the brightness different than I had remembered.
Exiting the room, I took notice of my surroundings: shipping containers, cranes, and a… ship? At least that’s what I thought it was, though it didn’t look sea worthy at all and there was clearly a lack of a body of water near it. A poor design choice. Despite my unfamiliarity with it, I did recognize one thing; plastered on the side read the letters: UN
A diplomatic and political international organization whose stated purposes are to maintain international peace and security, develop friendly relations among nations, achieve international cooperation, and serve as a center for harmonizing the actions of nations.
The UN… Delta City… Old Detroit…
Continuing forward, I slowly made my way through, limited by the physical constraints of oversight by my creators. Passing container after container, each one labeled as OCP property… well was OCP property as it is now under a UN mark.
The heavy clanking of my footsteps would’ve surely alerted somebody in this place, though much to my surprise, nobody came. An even bigger surprise was another container wide open, this one standing vertically. Investigating, I stopped by the door, notably dented by a large blunt object. Unfortunately this dent had ruined the label beyond the recognition, so whatever that was in this container was long gone.
Turning away, I marched on forward between the valley of metal boxes, observing other property claimed by the UN. Kanemitsu, Rehab, Nuke; all here in this very place.
At some point, I heard voices. Several of them. Redirecting my route to the source, I tried to pick up on the conversation, though for some reason, I just couldn’t understand half of anything that was being said. Even if it was a different language, my translators wouldn’t budge in giving me the proper information behind the rather high-pitched voices. But from the half that I did understand and the aggressive shouting of the former, I knew there was trouble. And trouble needs to be met with order.
“No, no! Please, don’t!” The translated voice began, followed by the aggressive undetectable voice and loud smack.
A second understandable voice: “We didn’t do anything! We’re not monsters!”
Another undetectable voice, sounding like they’re belittling their victims before full on shouting, going on a rant that I could never understand. They shouted and shouted, with other voices in the same language apparently agreeing with them.
I know a hate crime when I detect one.
My right leg opening up its titanium plate, I grasped my… where is my gun? By choice, I wouldn’t let this crime go unnoticed, as there needs to be someone to protect the innocent. With every step, the voices get louder and louder, preparing myself for an up close encounter that could go wrong for the victims with every miscalculation.
What I didn’t prepare myself for, however, was the thing standing in front of me. A whole group of them cornering two males, one bleeding from the head. Whatever they were, they obviously weren’t human. To best explain beyond my computing system, they were like bipedable sheep in reflective gear with an emblem on the shoulder. Fire suits with gang signs… there doesn’t seem to be a logical reasoning as to why they’re wearing them, unless…
Seeing the flamethrower in the hands of one of them, I immediately searched my proximity for anything that could halt them. By luck, the one wielding the weapon seems to be monologuing before the cowering victims, giving me enough time to rip a small manhole cover off the floor.
Glancing up, the thug prepared themselves to set ablaze the victims, the surrounding criminals cheering them on. Stretching my arm across my chest, I hurled the cover, the frisbee-like object traveling across the room at such high speeds, the group didn’t have time to react at the fact that the flamethrower and their fire wielding friend’s hand were now broken within a snap. This would be the perfect time to make my entrance.
“Hold it!” my robotic voice shouted, garnering the attention of the group as I approached. “You are under arrest! Put your hands in the air!”
Surprisingly, it seemed like they understood me, and instead froze. One of them appears to be hyperventilating at the sight of me and even the one that I broke the hand of seemed terrified. Within a second, all hell broke loose as the sheeps screamed high pitched and scrambled throughout the area, tripping over themselves and running into each other. At this point, I’ve noticed that the two males were long gone after the attack.
Justice must be brought. Marching towards the one with the broken hand, who has now gone up on metal scaffolding nearby and on top of the containers. Seeing that I was after them, they yanked a pipe of the scaffolding and began smacking it, causing the structure to collapse and removing one easy way up.
Nice try.
My hands pierced through one of the containers, pulling myself up with the makeshift ladder. Upon seeing this, the sheep screamed even more like bloody murder, running across the shipping containers. Slowly pursuing behind them, I wished my creators granted me with more mobility as all I could do was speed walk. Lucky for me, the sheep was a horrible runner, every now and then tripping over their fear, giving me time to catch up. Looking back at me, the sheep once again screamed, not bothering to look ahead of them, falling three shipping containers down.
Thud.
Walking over to the edge and peering, I saw that I could potentially be more in trouble, seeing below more sheep… and porcupines… and birds… dozens of them.
I’d buy that for a dollar… Why are there so many of them here?
They all saw me. And they’re all wielding a flamethrower, their choice of weaponry matching their uncreativity in escape. Some froze, some fainted, others screamed and aimed their weapons at me. Hurling insults at me, their words meant nothing to me, literally and figuratively, as it’s easy to say that the streets of Detroit have been harsher.
Before anything else could happen, a loud roar erupted, startling every single one of them, turning their attention to the source. Footsteps heavier than mine were coming from the shadows.
I know those steps. I know that roar. I know that voice.
“Please put down your weapon. You have 20 seconds to comply.”
