Seconding Plex / Plexamp if the use case involves streaming remotely. Probably the easiest to get up and running for remote access.

I’m not sure about the capabilities of hosting on a Pi, but it should be straightforward to run a couple different apps in parallel to test and compare features (I’m currently doing exactly that with Plex and Jellyfin)

Is that not the normal? I just started sailing again recently, and I legit feel bad having to clear out an old torrent to make room for something new.

I love bed.

They didn’t have to make it look like the toilets cheeks were flushed in the 3rd panel… but they did.

(no pun intended)

The photo of the terraced farming actually brings up an interesting point–in order to render those slopes usable for farming, terracing approximates the “flat” projection of the terrain anyways, so you end up with the same result. Buildings and any other usable structures follow the same rule: you can only build vertically, so the effective surface area is the same as the flat projection.

I have the same rule, but that Chumba Casino app sounds so legit that I might make an exception!

It literally sounds like a DDoS!

Yeah, this is it.

And to take a slightly different tack, if the biochemical and electrical activity in your brain were not deterministic, how would you ever know? It’s one thing to believe that you made a decision on your own “Free Will”, but how could you possibly rewind the entire universe (or at least some sufficiently small portion of it), including your brain’s exact atomic state, and re-run the experiment to know for sure? At that point, what would “Free Will” even mean?

The fact that the post has been screenshot (screenshotted?) several times is how you know it really happened, exactly as written. If it was just text that was copy/pasted, anyone could have changed the details, or even made it up entirely. It is a little strange that noone clapped at the end… but hey, history be crazy like that.

Snow is a great example. As a kid, snow was freedom from school, a sculpting medium, a sledding surface, a new landscape to explore…

As an adult, it mostly means tangled commutes and manual labor.

Granted, a gentle snowstorm can be pretty nice when you don’t have work the next day, but it doesn’t have the same magic it did.

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.

I’ve never heard of this… what’s the idea behind it? That you get the RH near 100%, and any dust particles will be a nucleation point for water to condense on, causing them to literally rain out of the air?

For me personally, pepperoni better nails the sweet/spicy/savory trifecta a little better than ham, but it’s very much in the same ballpark.

She was a fax machine she kept her modem clean.

That’s a legit start to a Weird Al song right there!

My bones heart

My Minnesota homes know what’s up

On the power disable feature topic, I’ve only bought a few used enterprise drives from Goharddrive.com and Serverpartsdeals.com, but they both included a handy little SATA power adapter with each drive for exactly that reason.

The first desktop I installed them in worked just fine with the factory PSU cables, but when I upgraded I was left scratching my head for a few minutes until I remembered those adapters!

Clearly “Yinz” is the ideal second person plural term. The rest of the english-speaking world just hasn’t caught up to Pittsburgh yet.

Ha! It took me a minute too to realize that having to google WTF a skibidi toilet is was the Millennial test, not being expected to know it.

Finally, a sterotype of “millennial” that recognizes we kinda be old now!

Very related, but the song that was played over every retirement, graduation, and other big life event photo montage for about 3 years was literally called “Good Riddance” lmao

I have no memory of this as a kid, but even as a grown-ass mid 40s adult, it’s weirdly ominous and unsettling. Wtf were they thinking?
