Plex remote access - low quality even with gigabit fiber - Lemmy.World

Hey all, I’m very new to self-hosting and have no background in anything computer-related. I’ll explain in as much detail as I can. I’m running Plex on a Synology DS220+. I’m using the Plex app, i.e. not using Docker (see note below). The issue: I can watch Plex on my local network in 4K, but outside my local network it barely makes it to 720p. I thought it was an issue with my upload speed, but I got gigabit last week and it hasn’t fixed the issue. I have remote access enabled in Plex through a manually-specified port. The issue persists with my own account and any friends who have access to my library. I appreciate any advice, links or questions you can offer! NOTE: I understand the benefits of Docker and I promise to transition in the future. I spent many hours learning and troubleshooting, and it was even functional at times, but eventually I needed something that just worked.

Replacing moldy sealant - Lemmy.World

There are a few spots I’ve neglected to replace old brittle sealant (around the kitchen sink) or never sealed at all (new faucet I installed 8 months ago). Now there’s black gunk accruing under and around the sealant. When I go to replace the sealant, how do I kill the mold so it’s safe to seal over again? Thanks for any advice you can offer.
