Sunglasses with low clamp force?

I'm looking for sunglasses that don't press on my temples or the side of my head. I don't have a large or wide head, but my head and scalp are so sensitive that most headphones and sunglasses give me nauseating headaches. Currently I have a pair of vintage Italian sunglasses that are lightweight and fairly wide, and otherwise some Milwaukee safety glasses with flexible rubber arms - comfortable, but not at all my aesthetic.

Any brands you can recommend? Or should I just look for other sunglasses for people with wide faces?

What are the downsides?

I've been thinking about making the switch for a year or two. I installed Graphene on an old phone to get a feel for it, and the only drawback I noticed was that it doesn't support Firefox. Is there anything else I should consider before switching? You can be honest - I'm mostly sold and just want to know what to expect.

Plex remote access - low quality even with gigabit fiber

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.

EDIT: You all have been so helpful and supportive. Thanks for meeting me where I'm at and sharing some potential issues.

EDIT2: I found the culprit by accident. I had UPnP enabled on my router. I turned it off and my local speeds increased significantly, and my Plex library is available remotely. I don't know how or why UPnP is related, but that's what the solution was for me. Thanks again for all your input and support.

Replacing moldy sealant

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.
