    PXE, or network boot. It is basically never used (and rarely enabled, if ever, by default) by the individual, but can be helpful in, for example, a large scale OS deployment. Say IT has to get their corporate image version of Windows 10/11 installed on 30 new laptops. They could write a ton of flash drives, but it'd be easier to just host a PXE boot server and every laptop just listen to them.

    V6 specifically in that instance would just be for the reason of "we need to move away from v4 anyways"

    When you browse to a website, your browser passes info about itself to the server hosting that site. This info is intended to help the server provide the best rendering code for your browser. This is called your User Agent.

    However, Google is using it here to identify Firefox users, and is apparently choosing to lump them all in a box called "adblock users" instead of trying to identify an ad blocker more accurately.

    As others have said, don't buy TVs for their smart features. Just use a streaming stick. They are easier to replace as software changes, and there's practically no real benefit to ever putting a TV online in the first place.

    Also, LG panels are the best visual quality. You're doing good going the LG route. Just keep it offline.

    X-post from reddit, Sharing media headaches: Samba won't show "new?" media, and can't figure out multiple user auth in NFS. SFTP on Windows? Help...

    EDIT: This has been solved!! [This link](https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/file-sharing-woes-samba-nfs-sftp/91112/13) has the full post, but basically you need to ensure SELinux flags are set for every file, and this won't happen to new files added. I have appended the SELinux option as a context entry to my fstab and now every file shows! So right off the bat, I understand that NFS is dependent on UID matching. What I can't find is a guide to setting this up that isn't either: 1. Make all nfs media accessible by all, or 2. Use advanced permissions that seem(?) reliant on professional server authentication that I can't wrap my head around ~~(I guess I need to take some Linux classes?)~~ I would happily work with anyone willing to help me understand how to make this work though. **As for Samba**: Well it seemed like I had everything set up well enough. I can login with each of the three users just fine. All files and folders have 02777 permissions with correct ownership. This was set after initially using just 777, and a troubleshooting answer on a Stack Exchange-like site advised 02777. However, files that I added shortly after setting up Samba and getting it running are simply not showing in client systems. **And crucially, this is even the case on machines that logged in the first time** ***after*** **the file changes**, ***ruling out the potential for bad client-side caching***. Is there a server-side caching I'm not aware of? I can run `chmod -R 02777 *` all day til the cows come home for the entire drive that's being shared (under /mnt/4tb, yes this is related to my previous thread on reddit r/linuxadmin). But no matter how I run it alongside restarting samba (`sudo systemctl restart smb`), it still won't show those newer files. Testparm succeeds, no errors in the config. FWIW, I printed the config below ``` [global] workgroup = SAMBA security = user unix extensions = no server string = Ravens Hoard passdb backend = tdbsam inherit permissions = yes printing = cups printcap name = cups load printers = yes cups options = raw # Install samba-usershares package for support include = /etc/samba/usershares.conf [gen-media] comment = General Media Repository path = /mnt/4tb/general writeable = yes browseable = yes public = no create mask = 0644 directory mask = 0755 valid users = user4, user2, user1 force user = user4 [intake] comment = Intake Directory path = /mnt/4tb/intake read only = no writeable = yes browseable = yes public = no create mask = 0644 directory mask = 0755 valid users = user1 [user1] comment = Share for user1 path = /mnt/4tb/user1 read only = no writeable = yes browseable = yes public = no create mask = 0664 force create mode = 0664 directory mask = 02755 force directory mode = 02755 valid users = user1 [user2] comment = Share for user2 path = /mnt/4tb/user2 read only = no writeable = yes browseable = yes public = no create mask = 0644 directory mask = 0755 valid users = user2 [user3] Comment = Share for user3 path = /mnt/4tb/user3 read only = no writeable = yes browseable = yes public = no create mask = 0644 directory mask = 0755 valid users = user1, user3 force user = user3 ``` Lastly in my explorations on file sharing, is SFTP/SSH-based file sharing. But with this, I don't know of a way for Windows clients to mount the share transparently. Is this possible? Or would the Windows client be stuck with using 3rd party software like WinSCP? FWIW, The idea of this is that the shares can be read and written to by Android through Solid Explorer, Android TV using Kodi, and Windows 10. It would have 3 users and 4 shares, as can be seen in the samba config. Any help towards getting one of these methods working for this purpose would be *very much* appreciated.
