100%
I've tried explaining this concept to people in my life who insist on considering context when deciding whether to use their turn signal. But about half of them seem stuck on this idea that moving their fingers a few inches is a task that justifies a cost-benefit analysis each time.
I don't get it, man...
On the one hand, you're probably right. On the other hand, I also look like a doofus with a bare chin so I can't really judge him on that account.
Looks great, man! In this guy's humble opinion, it's just the perfect amount of organized, but not overly fussy, for a compact functional workshop.
Got any before/after pics?
I'm terrible at organizing my workspaces, so I like seeing how other people set up their shops. It gives me neat ideas that I will totally never get around to implementing. Meantime I just spent 20 minutes hunting for that goddamned screwdriver I know I set down on a sbelf between the stack of wall anchor boxes and the bin of random drill bits. Or maybe I left it on the table saw...
Thats what I thought too. The reality is still fucked up, but I don't feel one iota of bad for people getting scammed for using an app to snitch to ICE.
Hell, I'll go against the grain here and say that if my wife wanted to watch porn featuring me, some kind of AI or otherwise manipulated imagery is the only way that's practically going to happen, and I'd have no issues indulging her in principle.
The main sticking point would be the feasibility of generating that content without feeding my photos to some 3rd party, and more importantly making sure that imagery never leaks outside of her direct personal and private possession.
I'd very much prefer to give consent, but if she were to do it on her own, my main issues would again be around the point above. Otherwise I wouldn't feel much different than if she told me she got off while imagining me on her minds eye. And the same types of caveats would apply: Me with some anonymous 3rd party? Whatever floats her boat. Me with a specific person, or worse yet, someone we know? That's when it starts to cross a line.
Great, now that's in my comment history!
Only thing more embarrassing than breaking a B string is when the G string snaps.
I'll see myself out....
Beautiful guitar by the way!
I love the theme too, but South Park ruined it for me. I can't listen to it anymore without hearing "Wiener, weiner-weiner..." in the back of my mind :(
Not sure if it helps you at all...
Connect used to have some random issues with image scaling, but these large/tall images scale/zoom/scroll well nowadays.
My wife went through something similar. Took until she was in her 30s and we were pursuing IVF for someone to take her seriously and actually do the investigation to realize she had crazy scarring from endometriosis causing all kinds of issues.
It's insane to me how much the modern medical community seems to normalize or straight up ignore this shit, like you said.
I realize we could have pushed harder, but when multiple doctors tell you "yeah, some women just experience periods differently, here's 500mg Naproxen to help you through" you tend to believe it.
Using different cutlery based off of meal size/how long you want to savor something (ex: You like ice cream, so you may eat it with a smaller spoon so it lasts longer.).
I don't do this all the time, but definitely with desserts and sweets. Both from the perspective of being able to savor it longer, and also for portion control.
Even more so, the mountains of salt from people who care way too much about a shitty webcomic.
I agree that makes a lot of sense--to your original point of targeting policies to achieve very specific goals.
I read another comment suggesting their efforts would actually be better spent targeting purple or barely-red states, if the goal is to really hurt Trump's support. You can only realistically change the minds of a small percentage of MAGAs, then it makes sense to target the regions where that small percent translates to a flip in votes.
I'm not sure I totally buy the analysis, since all this tariff bullshit is as much about messaging and dick-waving as anything else, but there's probably a nugget of truth to it.
I had to google that shit myself thinking you guys were both having a giggle. No fucking way...
For whatever reason, by the 3rd panel, I was 98% sure this was going to be a joke about biting your tongue.
According to my mom, this is a good thing because he's helping regular people make money in the stock market.
The MAGAs are actually cheering this because they think they're being invited into the club, when he's just brushing some crumbs off the table for them to fight over in the alley.
That's wild!
Dang, this one has layers when viewing on a small phone screen....
First glance: Heh, nice meme
Zoom in a little, see "Trump's Manly Tariffs" Uh, wtf
Zoom in a little more "...could reverse crisis in masculinity" What the fuck is wrong with these people!?
Finally got my modest networking setup transferred to a "proper" rack
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 😅
Radarr manual import workflow
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
Advice / sanity check for torrenting & media server
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
Hopping VPN servers to seed to random countries--anyone else do this intentionally?
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 f
4k Disc Ripping tips/tricks
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?
Emphasize / De-emphasize communities
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.
Printer steppers causing lights to flicker
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?
Opening photo in landscape mode clips off the bottom edge
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

How to remove instance login for selection menu?
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?

PLA or PETG for shop light mounting brackets?
I'm planning to print up a bunch of brackets to mount LED shop lights (very similar to these) to the ceiling in my garage. My plan is to use an upside-down "U" shape bracket that screws into a joist/drywall anchor in the middle and then sort of clips around the sides of the metal frame.
Maybe filament type doesn't matter much here, but I'd rather not come out to one of the lights having fallen on my car if I can help it 😅
I think the main considerations are just temperature and stiffness. It can get up to about 85F in the garage on the hottest summer days, and probably a few degrees warmer by the ceiling. The lamps are cheap LED tubes, so the metal housing only gets slightly warm to the touch (say 90-100F or so). I know PLA is a bit stiffer at room temp, but I'm worried it might soften too much at the worst case of warm temperatures.
Any thought
