Any MythTV Users Here?
  • There are 2 versions of plex. One is just called plex and you can use your mouse. The other is called plexHTPC and it uses arrow keys and spacebar to select content. It took me a while to figure out that there are 2 different versions out there. The htpc one does ac3 pass through just fine.

  • HDD data recovery
  • Yeah basically. The point is you will never be able to make a real clean room in your home. This gets you 90% of the way there for a tiny bit of time and only takes a few minutes to get going.

  • HDD data recovery
  • Do it! Yeah start with the mother board and see what happens and then open the fucker up and replace the try to move the platters to working drive. You don’t have anything to lose so why not. For a quick and dirty clean room run the shower really hot for a few minutes to make a bunch of steam and then wait for the humidity to naturally equalize, boom you got a few minutes to do your swap job.

  • Can the SATA-to-USB adapter affect the result of the bad sectors scan?
  • Should be fine. Think of all the usb storage devices like senate and western digital. They all operate with a very similar adapter. The firmware on the drive should mark bad sectors not the interface that connects it.

  • Mythbusters
  • If you need you fix Adam savage is very active on YouTube and is just a wonder human being. It’s not MythBusters but Adam was a light during Covid and someone I put on regularly on YouTube.

  • Networking Dilemma
  • Put the nas and router where the internet comes in at and the just use WiFi for your office and the rest of the house. Thats what 99% of the people do. All the new WiFi routers are really efficient at beam forming and other technologies to get you a decent signal.

    At my house, since it is raised up I was able to crawl under and run Ethernet to the living room for the htpc(gaming) computer and it was pretty easy to install a keystone next to a power outlet. Not sure if that is viable in your situation.

    But even then I didn’t bother running Ethernet to all the rooms because even streaming 4k video is viable over WiFi. Though I understand it might not work so well if trying to edit on a nas or something similar.

  • Cost by Protein Source
  • Using a smart pot (like the ninja foodie) makes preparing dried beans a piece of cake. I’ve been making pintos, white beans, and chickpeas (for hummus) on the regular now. Really brought my costs down, especially when buying beans out of the bulk section. Thank god for winco.

  • upgrade windows home to windows pro
  • Forgive me, but isn’t sharing files between pc and an iPhone and remotely accessing a windows computer, two totally different things?

    To share files between iPhone and pc you just plug in a usb cable and or use iTunes.

    To remotely access a pc there are web services like gotomypc.com (among others) and software services like vnc (among others).

  • Question about upload speeds (torrenting)
  • Don’t worry about the speed. The important thing is that you are giving back. Seed to at least 150% or forever if you can. Your upload speed is usually lower than your download speed from your isp.

  • The Great Indie Game Recommendation Farmers Market!
  • If you are a fan of couch multiplayer games / party games then you’ll love “hidden in plain sight”. With its over simplistic controls and multiple different mini games the whole family or friend group (up to 4 players) are in for a treat.

    There is no single player part of the game. And the game isn’t really that fun if you don’t have 4 players, but man if you do it’s a treat to play.

  • Number of monthly active Lemmy users rising again
  • What I said wasn’t zesty at all. The only thing I can think of is someone went to all my comments and reported me. I’ve been temp banned from communities before but never banned from Reddit and would never expect to get permanently banned from Reddit the site along with my other Reddit accounts.

  • Is dockStarter a waste of time?

    Should I be learning docker compose instead of relying on dockStarter to manage my containers? I got portainer up, should I just use that to manage my stack?

    I’m committed this summer to finally learning docker. I’m on day 3 and the last puzzle piece is being able to access qbittorrent locally while running the container through the vpn.
