Did those early Roadsters have self driving tech? I thought they were more barebones sports cars, not like the current gimmick-dumpsters.
My dog just startles himself when he farts.
I'm not sure what's worse... being startled by the sound of a dog fart or being startled by a 60lb dog leaping off the couch without warning.
I once got a couple of Amazon Echo Dots as part of a promo. Little spherical devices with about a 3" round touchscreen. To set it up you had to enter your Amazon account info by tapping a keyboard on that tiny screen.
My password at the time was a random 80 character string, full of special characters. That would have been painful enough, but the password entry box would hide each character a second or so after typing, so it was nearly impossible to keep track of where I was, and whether I had skipped or double entered something.
I should have just binned them immediately at that point, but I spent probably an hour of typing passwords on those two fuckers--more out of stubbornness than anything else.
My guess is that with TV/Movies streaming you generally sit down to consume a given piece of content in chunks of minimum 1hr, and people rarely watch an episode of one show back to back with another show. So having that content fragmented between services doesn't provide much friction to normal viewing.
Contrast that with music, where having to switch services to listen to a different album would be extremely disruptive to the way most people listen. The only way that would work is if the separate services were generally clustered by genre, like radio. Having said that, I'm a little surprised that niche music streaming services haven't popped up (like how you have Crunchyroll for anime, for example).
It sounded like he was being sloppy about stitching together the audio from multiple takes, rather than a distinct decision.
But yeah, I can't stand that condensed run-on-sentence editing style that so many youtubers have adopted. It has an uncanny valley quality to it that's off-putting.
Huh, I have a Fractal Design AIO that's several years old at this point, and I cannot hear the water pump unless I literally stick my head in the case and ramp the speed up and down. I just leave it at 100% full time.
Sorry for your loss. No doubt in my mind she was a good girl, having blessed you with 17 years of love and companionship! RIP Riley.
People act like this is some kind of mysterious system, when it all boils down to one simple thing: If you want people to give you favorable terms when asking to borrow their money, then establish a history of being a reliable money-borrower! It's not rocket science!
Open a credit card or two. Make all your purchases on them (borrow money), and pay off the balance every month (pay back the money). You will never pay a penny in interest or fees, you will easily earn 1-2% cash back, and you have a small buffer in case of setbacks.
Being financially conservative--i.e., saving a lot and never borrowing/repaying money--may be a moral virtue, but it does nothing to establish you as someone who has a history of paying back borrowed money.
Exactly! I live in the suburbs, where every driveway seems to have a massive full size truck (because they barely fit in the garage)--and also, where I am 15 minutes away from at least 3 places where you can rent a pickup for like 5% of the monthly payment on one of those beasts.
That is so odd... I've only ridden Amtrak a few times, but I was amazed at how many stops were just some small town that happened to lie on the rail line.
Most small towns that lie on a major highway and are supported by commuter traffic are only going to support a truck stop and a few fast food restaurants at best. Sure, a true high speed rail line would likely only stop in larger metropolitan areas, so those meager income sources may dwindle. But on the other hand if I were a rail commuter in one of those rural/suburban areas, I'd be much more likely to spend some time doing a bit of shopping or lingering in a restaurant during that transition from the train to my car after work, than if I were just passing through in my car.
So they're not just cowardly fascists, they're cowardly lying fascists. 👍
Read this as "Cmon do a racist tyranny" at first. Like, damn thats pretty mask off, and hello welcome to the last decade...
But yeah, "resist" works too.
YOU HAVENT LIVED UNTIL YOU'VE HEARD THE EPIC SOUND OF HOGS AT FULL CRANK ECHOING OFF THE TILED WALLS OF A PUBLIC RESTROOM! ARRROOOO!
I get those very frequently the day before a popular show airs.
I wish there was a setting in sonarr to only grab released episodes (like radarr has) bit it seems like blocking extensions is the way to go.
On the one hand, as someone who likes to use their garage for garage stuff in addition to storing my car in it, I feel his pain at the too-short garage.
On the other hand, fucking LOL at buying an unnecessarily large vehicle like a CT without checking your garage size first--and then doubling down by parking it like that.
Good call! Wife and I watched that one on a whim, thinking it would be a good "bad" movie to watch while having a few drinks and were pleasantly surprised!
You probably need be at least familiar with RPG/fantasy tropes to fully enjoy it, but it definitely felt like it came from a place of love and self-awareness, rather than the cynical cash-grab I was expecting.
Do you really expect a restaurant to manually write a 1-sentence description for every single thing on their menu? How would that even work?
I'm as fascinated by those shuttle comparisons as anything else!
On the face of it, I wouldn't have guessed that the space shuttle's power output was measured in gigawatts, nor that the space shuttle's output is on the same scale as an entire country's steam power output (in 1896, sure... but still!)
American here. Aren't you worried about suffocating in that stall, without 1.5ft [50cm] gaps between the floor and the wall, and 1in [25mm] gaps around the door for proper ventilation?
I've had a few of the *arrs running in Docker on Unraid without issue for several months now. Yesterday afternoon I was ripping a bunch of CDs that my wife had picked up, and midway through I noticed that Lidarr was not allowing to add new artists or albums that were not already populated in my library. Manually searching for anything results in the attached screencap and the log entries below:
>[Warn] HttpClient: HTTP Error - Res: HTTP/2.0 [GET] https://api.lidarr.audio/api/v0.4/search?type=all&query=billie+holiday: 500.InternalServerError (33 bytes) {"error":"Internal server error"}
>[Warn] LidarrErrorPipeline: NzbDrone.Core.MetadataSource.SkyHook.SkyHookException: Search for 'billie holiday' failed. Unable to communicate with LidarrAPI. [v2.11.2.4629] NzbDrone.Core.MetadataSource.SkyHook.SkyHookException: Search for 'billie holiday' failed. Unable to communicate with LidarrAPI.
I've done a little searching, and I gather this is a result of my Lidarr instance not being able to communicate with a metadata server, but the troubleshooting advice seems to be focused on new installs with network configuration problems. I had made no configuration changes during the ~20 minutes since my last successful search (nor really in the last couple weeks), and all my other *arr apps are working perfectly fine, so I'm kind of at a loss. I've tried restarting and updating the container, but no dice, so here I am...
Ideas/suggestions?
I say "proper" rack because I was going cheap and didn't realize this one uses threaded holes for mounting instead of the square holes + cage nuts like a big boy rack. (The uprights actually have the square holes on the sides, but the way it assembles, they are just about 1/2" too narrow to accommodate rack mount equipment)
Nothing too crazy... AT&T craptacular modem, Ubiquiti gateway, couple of switches, media server chock full of refurb drives, pihole to keep the ads away, and an ancient laptop for a console. But it was all scattered on some plastic shelving before... Now it's at least on a wheeled rack where it kinda looks like I know what I'm doing.
Next step is cleaning up the cabinet above it, including a giant mess of coax cables lying in a heap 😅
For background, i have a few hundred torrented movies that I have been downloading to / seeding directly from a folder structure set up for Plex/Jellyfin. Media library is a mix of ripped and downloaded content. Till now I have been using a client on my desktop to manage the files on my media server, but now qbittorent and radarr live on the media server where they should be.
I struggled for a bit to get qbittorent and radarr set up and hardlinking properly, and am now ready to start migrating all those torrents into the proper location. What I'm doing works, but it feels like I'm doing something the long way.
Here's what I'm currently doing:
- Move torrent from media library to torrent folder
- Copy/paste torrent link from desktop client to media server client and verify that it's seen properly
- Add movie(s) in radarr, but do not tell it to begin searching for it
- Select Manual Import / Interactive Import
- Check the appropriate media file(s) and allow radarr to Import them to the movies I just added.
If that's more or less the best way to do it, I will chug through since it seems to be working. It just seems like adding the movie before importing is superfluous, since radarr has no problem matching up the media file the correct movie once it has been added.
TIA!
I've been kind of piece-mealing my way towards cleaning up my media server, and could use a little advice on the next steps.
Currently I have a little under 10TB of torrented media that I have been downloading to / seeding from media library folders that Plex and Jellyfin monitor, using my desktop PC as the torrenting client. This requires a bit of manual maintenance--i.e., manually selecting the destination folder for the torrents in a way that Plex/Jellyfin can see.
I recently fired up qBittorrent on my media server (Unraid if that matters), and would like to try out some of the *arrs, but I'm not quite sure how to proceed without creating some kind of unholy mess.
I guess option A is just to import all of my current torrented content from desktop to media server client, and keep manually specifying the torrent destination. It's not a huge deal, since I am typically only adding a few torrents per week, so it's literal seconds or minutes of work to find the content I want.
Option B is to start "clean" and follow one of the many how-tos for starting up an *arr stack. But never having used the software, I don't have a good sense for how it works, and whether there are any pitfalls to watch out for when trying to spin it up with an existing media library that includes both torrented and ripped content.
From a bit of reading, I think radarr for example will only care about new content. So I should be able to migrate all my existing torrents to the new client on my media server, including their existing locations amongst my media library, and then just let radarr locate and manage new content. Is that correct?
Any other advice or suggestions I should be considering?
It's probably a stupid question... But if I notice I'm not getting much upload activity on my seeds, I'll often intentionally just hop over to a random country and see what happens. For example last night I noticed that my uploads had been limited to 1 or 2 <100kB/s peers for the last few days while connected to a US server. Clicked over to a Venezuelan server and almost immediately got about 20 connections that have been sitting between 5-10MB/s total upload ever since.
Makes me feel like an international Johnny Appleseed, except with media and stuff. 😎 Though it's a little surprising to me that there would be such a huge difference in seeding effectiveness depending on where your VPN's endpoint is. Whatever works I guess!
The only downside is it can make web browsing and shopping a bit of a pain. But that's my own fault for not taking 10 minutes to figure out how to set up split tunneling or just hosting qBittorrent on my media server...
EDIT: On rumba's advice I enabled port forwarding in my VPN and qBittorrent client, and now all is well.
Not sure if this is the best place to post, but I imagine plenty of ya'll rip your discs either for backup or media server purposes. So I'm curious what you have found to work best / most reliably for ripping 4k discs, and if you have any tips for getting stubborn discs to rip well.
Personally I have an LG WH16NS40 internal drive and an LG BP60NB10 external drive, both flashed with Libredrive to allow 4k ripping, using MakeMKV. Generally they work pretty well, but I will occasionally get a stubborn disc (often from the library, sometimes even new) that just refuses to fully rip on either drive.
Lemon pledge and a microfiber cloth, followed by a microfiber lens wipe, clean up most grubby used discs. But you can only do so much if the disc is physically damaged.
So what's in your toolkit?
I normally have pretty basic tastes when it comes to sandwiches: meat, cheese, mayo, a spread of some kind and/or lettuce if I have some on hand. But it's nice to throw in something different now and then.
Sticking to one or two ingredients (this is the dull men's club after all) how do you all like to kick up your sandwiches a bit?
I'll start-- it's nothing crazy, but Aldi sells a Bavarian sweet mustard that's a really nice step up from regular yellow mustard for a ham & swiss.
I have no idea if this is possible to implement on the client side, but it would be really cool to be able to pick which subbed communities are emphasized or de-emphasized in your feed.
For example if you're on a niche sub that only gets a few posts per week, maybe you want to ALWAYS see new content regardless of how many upvotes or comments it gets.
Conversely, I enjoy a few meme subs, but right now Risa completely dominates new/hot/best filtering for me. I'd be perfectly happy just seeing the top few posts sprinkled throughout my feed.
I've noticed for awhile now that whenever my Ender 3 S1 Pro is running, some of the lights on the same circuit will flicker seemingly in time with changes in X or Y stage movement. I'd guess that it's a combination of these stages causing minor voltage spikes/dips when they accelerate, and certain cheaper LED bulbs don't tolerate those spikes/dips well.
Has anyone else experienced this and implemented a good fix? It seems like some kind of power smoothing/conditioning filter plugged in between the printer and the wall would help isolate it. Most of those devices seem designed to isolate the device from fluctuations in the mains, and I'm not sure if it generally works both ways (seems like it should...)
Googling around most people are blaming similar issues on poor wiring, which I suppose could be the case even though this is a newer house. But I see very little in terms of actual proven effective fixes, even though it sounds pretty straightforward on its face.
Advice / thoughts?
Not sure where else to post this, but I just learned that an old buddy lost his lengthy battle with cancer this evening after putting up a solid fight. If anyone feels like raising a glass to a random stranger, I'm sure he'd appreciate it.
Fuck cancer, and be excellent to each other 🥃
Basically, the title. When opening a photo with my phone in landscape mode, frequently the bottom 5-10% of the photo is clipped off, and I cannot scroll down or zoom out to view it. Oddly, if I zoom in enough, then I can scroll down to view the clipped part.
I've only noticed it when my phone is rotated in landscape mode, so I'm not entirely sure if it's limited to that mode, or if a tall enough picture would cause the same thing in portrait mode

I accidentally created a guest account by tapping "browse as guest" when trying to view an instance. This created a Guest_1 account in my list of instance accounts. Is there any way to remove this?
Saw L7 posted yesterday, immediately reminded me of this banger from about 20 years later!
It would frequently be helpful to have the post you are directly replying to visible in the Reply screen. Or perhaps a "Show/Hide Parent Comment" toggle on the Reply screen on case you want to refer back or quote specific details from the parent.
For example, have "Show NSFW" active when logged in to one account, but disabled when switching to another. Because... reasons 😉
I believe Jerboa has this feature (account specific view settings}
Really enjoying the app by the way!
