Those people aren’t mature enough to be out in society. Seriously, humans need dog-like socialization classes to learn how to behave around other humans.
I’m sorry that happened, but I hope you stuck with the healthy thing you were doing because its good for you, and didn’t let some assholes get in your head.
If you run the heat/climate control along with the range loss from the cold, it ads up pretty fast, to probably about that number. I found that out when I went to pick mine up 2.5 hrs away. It was cold spring weather and raining, so fogged windows and numb fingers if heat not running. The impacts screen showed a whopping 30% of my battery use on that drive was climate control alone. I have since learned how to use the vents without climate control, but it wouldn’t have helped much on that drive.
It can make the drive no problem in nicer weather without the heat on, even using the AC is pretty cheap, battery-wise (about 3% on the same drive, though I do keep it set just a few degrees cooler than outside temps in the current weather), but running the heat/climate control just soaked my range. Had to stop at a fast charger, got back to like 85%, and still barely made it the second half of the trip.
Anecdotal, ofc.
I understood about two thirds of that tbh.
Im the sort of person why plex is still a big thing. Just enough knowledge, but not enough for all the things.
I know docker isn’t the only option (idk if thats what you mean) but idk any of what you proposed as alternative. Ill send this to IT person, maybe they’ll get it, but i don’t :) i want to get the things, but i don’t have the background knowledge to make them digestible. Have a degree in technical communication, so very good at learning, more for science than tech, unless I can find a good tech guide first and then I’m great (but tech people are notoriously shit at documentation for anyone even remotely lacking in tech skill)
Genuinely don’t know how to set those things up, and “my personal IT” doesn’t know either because they also have limited docker experience, and no media management experience, the media stuff is my contribution, and I do it painfully manually (i like curating, so its largely fine, but its painfully manual). i’ve been looking into it on and off for a hot minute. But I have zero docker experience which is the main way those things are done afaik.
If you know of a good guide for those things, one that doesn’t assume you are a whiz with docker already, I’d be interested. Personal IT person does security and used to sysadmin, so I’m sure they could figure it out if i can’t, but we haven’t found any particularity good guides for it that were digestible without the background knowledge. Something neither of us has any other reason to learn, so hasn’t been done.
Good to know, I’ll have to look into that. I’d like my jelly set up for the very few highly technical people I know who can manage their own connections (I got my limited technical skills somewhere!!), as well as my own home use, so thats helpful. Also to have a backup option for the person I care enough about to manage a VPN for (literally one person, but I also want them to have access to my calibre database as well as share folders for GOG games, and they are with it enough to learn what I teach them for maintaining the connection)
Im not sure exactly when I became a data hoarder, but I certainly am now, and more tools are good. Thanks for that info :)
One of my favorite things about tech stuff is lights.
What I mean is, those lights, and most lights, only serve a human purpose, but some lights are for a non-human reason (like for plants or testing conditions), and its fun (to me) to disentangle which is which.
In this case they almost certainly cause active problems for the ultra-sensitive neutrino detectors, and they have to scrap the data from whenever they are turned on. In some cases they inhibit growth of the target organism (good or bad). In others, like lights in brewery brite tanks, they don’t matter or are for cleaning purposes.
I enjoy asking about the lights, whenever I get a chance. Its always a question that gets a “huh, never thought about that, actually”, but I just find the human need element fascinating, because it dramatically impacts the whole machine. I wonder what we’d know if visible light wasn’t our primary sense.
Sort of, I guess? It probably would be very different if I’d been naming them in a way that works for jelly from the start, but it’s just a massive undertaking at this point to… retrofit, for lack of a better term coming to mind.
I was under the impression they used the same agent for metadata, but they must not, or there must be some changes in how Plex handles stuff.
I’m not really sure what you mean by special feature in this context, but plex pulls the meta largely without needing to rename files (some exceptions, but they are very obvious, like if there’s words/numbers before the title for some reason, like when I ripped my 13 hours of classic monster movies and they were numbered), and it usually doesn’t care about extra stuff like encoding info and whatnot. Hardly need to manually match anything when it gets added, and never need to manually match shows. Handfull of stuff if I rebuild the server from scratch, but those files mostly don’t have metadata to begin with (some youtube rips, some documentaries that probably came out of a series, that sort of thing). It just seems to be a lot more forgiving, I guess.
I’m just not super interested at the moment in going through my entire library, which would take half of forever, to rename everything to make it work properly. Especially when I already did/do that for plex’s requirements, and it works fine. I assumed when I set jellyfin up it would pull the same, but it doesn’t, in my experience.
I have both technically running. The metadata matching on jellyfin is complete ass, so I have to manually match up like a third of my library, or reconfigure the files (absolutely not happening) which I just dgaf enough to do when vanishingly few people would be able to use it, so its only partially set up. It also can’t be accessed by anyone because I’m not dumb enough, nor smart enough, to open it up to the internet (I don’t know how to do it safely and I’m thus entirely not interested in trying).
Plex, by contrast, is already configured (and if I have to scrap the library and start over, as I’ve done several times, its pretty easy to reconfigure), the metadata linking is correct and automatic most of the time, everyone already has access to it, and it just works for them, and thus for me. I’m not giving it up just because a bunch of hyper-nerds on the internet say it’s bad for, frankly, nonsense reasons that don’t apply or matter to me or honestly most people who use it. I’ll wait until it -actually- is bad for my use, or until jellyfin serves the use I have for it, which it absolutely does not do presently, and may never. (And no, a vpn or whatever setup is not a solution, it’s just one more thing to maintain and fuck with constantly to keep it working for people who don’t even know what a vpn is. Hard pass.)
I wouldn’t pay for plex now, nor in the last several years, and I strongly discourage my users from doing so, but spent money is spent, so might as well keep using what I paid for until it doesn’t work for me anymore. I mean really, why not? I genuinely haven’t seen any valid reasons to get rid of it, and lots of reasons to keep it.
I can’t wear thin frame, I need the thick plastic. The bridge supports on wire frames lead to tears in my skin that are quite painful with continued use. Plastic frames don’t do that.
But my frames are translucent dark pink and fade to clear at the bottom, so pretty obviously not shitty recording glasses. Thick black frames look absolutely shit on me.
Hand-crank starters were in production until the 90s apparently. The lada niva (a small weird truck thing) had them through 1998. Who knew?
I know it’s not quite the same but… wind up key part is! I was gunna find a pic but there don’t seem to be any showing the crank in use, only videos.
Wolfboy and the everything Factory, Adventure Time, and Star Trek TNG
Space communism with holodecks and sentient androids, mixed with a magic factory that shapes reality, mixed with wild adventures and beings. And all of these things exist in mostly happy emotional spaces.
Absolutely perfect existence, and if it isn’t, just go adventuring with your crew to change it.
I get massive screaming headaches that usually start mid-late afternoon and don’t go away until I sleep, but sometimes start up again first thing the next morning if I sleep poorly. If the person knows me well enough to know that, and knows what it looks like when I have such a headache, maybe 2 days? Only because theres a lot you can hide behind the fog of pain and saying “yep, this is the same headache I’ve had for two days, I’m very tired of it”
Everyone else thinks I’m in dire need of sleep basically always, because I’ve become fairly low-energy (other than my stims, which are often not obvious anyway), have very thin skin around my eyes, plus often foggy and slow from headaches. And nod off whenever I’m slightly bored. But they aren’t wrong, as such, I could seriously sleep 15+ hours a day if I didn’t have shit to do.
I had a razor phone 2. Another device made by a company who doesn’t make phones for a living.
It was a piece of shit. The OS was buggy on the hardware, the hardware itself was bad, and the charger port was ever so slightly out of standard spec so using a normal usb-c cable on it would destroy the data/charge port. For the last year I used it I could only charge wirelessly, and unless ADB shell has a wireless mode these days, that means its very limitedly useful.
(I finally found a use for it; using it in my car, which has a wireless charger, as a wifi device to carry data-syphoning apps to find EV chargers… I figure as long as it can’t access anything except when I give it hotspot off my current phone, it’s as data secure as possible while still giving me access to valuable info locked in an app)
I don’t have a CS degree, but my first real experience with college was in an English course (that I ended up testing out of, along with all other English courses, but which was designed to bring students up to speed for college) going “oh my god they let functionally illiterate people into college now… is this even worth doing?”
And the answer was ultimately no, financially-speaking, but yes from a personal perspective. Sounds like CS has the opposite conclusion; not really worth it from a personal perspective, but worth it from a financial perspective.

My favorite part of that set is how he adopts the accent in the lead-up to the jokes. Im big on language, always have been a mimic, and I notice the code switch. I assume he does it unconsciously to put himself in the mindset for the rest of the jokes.
But yea thats how I feel about it, always have.
Do they actually need local plates or something if they are undercover? Like by law? If not, I don’t really understand what the problem they have is.
I mean I do, it’s throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks, but is it an actual issue or just a made-up one?
I do love that they claim to be protecting from immigrants “terrorizing” communities when thats exactly what ICE does, though…
