If you work with tools or equipment in any fashion, use proper personal protective equipment and don’t skip it.

If you work around loud noises, use real hearing protection. Hearing loss is irreversible and cumulative.

If you work with anything that makes dust or fumes, get a resparator. You can get nasty allergies from sawdust, griding dust gives you lung cancer and a bunch of other horrible shit.

If you work with chemicals, use gloves or whatever is required per the sds.

Always wear eye protection, you can’t get new eyes.

Take care of your skin, if you weld, wear real covers. Skin cancer on welders is a real thing.

Use gloves where safe, and don’t where you are using rotating equipment, degloving is a thing. Equipment can’t tell the difference between flesh and workpieces and it doesn’t care.

Where’s the beans?

I saw Alan Tudnyk credited again, was he in it? I must have missed the weasel if so.

I bought the Emby lifetime license about 2 years ago when the plex remote streaming stuff first started getting talked about. It coincided with my server refresh so it ended up working out. I have been really happy with Emby so far.

One thing to note is that music streaming on remote devices is WAY better on plex, Emby behaves more like a mapped network drive running over the internet to a local music player that then forgets your position on pause or when you move away from the remote app/device whereas Plex is actually functional as a modern music player. I keep a local copy of my music library on my phone anyways and okay through Gonemad so it is a non-issue for me but Emby should work better than it does in that case.

Plex also allows/provides “live” tv (with ads) which can be nice if you are into that, and there is the “free” streaming library too which Emby doesn’t offer. I’ll keep plex around for those features but non-of my stuff is/will be hosted on Plex.

I actually ran into the same issue, never did figure it out. I started on Fedora Silverblue and rebased to Bazzite.

It really is a much better way to cook it. That looks great amigo, I hope it was delicious.

I have started fully breaking is down and separating the wings and drums, then spatchcocking the rest so I can get each part cooked just to their respective done-ness. It also helps it fit in my grill…

Beat me to it.

Yeah, you aren’t really supposed to layer packages they want to use something like distrobox or similar. I know some things basically have to be (I am fighting with openjdk) but that is where 99% of my issues on bazzite came from. I started just spinning up a vm to run all my random bullshit that required layering in and its been solid ever since.

Everyone is either saying I’m staying on plex or Move to jellyfin and I here just enjoying Emby. Its functional, easy to setup, and is a good middle ground for sharing without having to train people how to use it.

Yes, I paid for the license, and I know it isn’t foss so the potential for enshitification exists, but for now its fine.

My kids can use it, so can my inlaws, and its been reliable.

There is also a dongle for the SNES that works the same but requires usb power. It works well.

I’m using a 5v and its been a great phone so far. I will say, if you are in the US it is missing one of the important 5G bands and when it updates you have to go fiddle with the dual sim mode settings to get full internet speed again which is irritating.

It was the only phone I could find at the time that was smaller sized, waterproof, had a headphone jack and sd card slot, and a good camera though.

I left a toxic workplace (for another more toxic workplace, then left that one too) and found an actual good job with nice people who provide proper pay and time off. Been there almost 3 years now. My blood pressure went down by 20 points, I fall asleep easier (without supplements or medicine) my commute went from 70 minutes to 5, and I get to see my kids at lunch and early after school now.

There are better things out there, don’t stay somewhere that sucks because you are used to it. It’s not worth your health. Even if you find another shitty place, you don’t give up and settle. The place I landed after I left the first one was bad and I felt really dumb for falling for the sales pitch on it but I stuck around until I found my current gig and bailed on them. Once you realize that you can just leave it’s really freeing.

Oh look, another example of a product that worked fine without internet connectivity and was improved by adding extra bullshit you don’t actually need that then gets worse when those features can’t function properly because their server is offline.

We got a basic roomba 650 (the one that crashes into stuff and randomly cleans) like 10 years ago and it still works fine (well, as well as it ever worked which wasn’t great), you program the time and day of the week with physical buttons, and leave it alone.

You can often also checkout cd’s and dvd’s.

Completely unrelated but did you know you can rip your own dvd’s and cd’s to your computer as a backup in case the physical disc gets damaged? The process is quite simple.

Good question, I got an ad on my fucking banana the other day…

I’m sure it has, it was news to me when I saw it though. Still messed up imo.

Yeah, some background processing. I didn’t tweak it except to take the number out.

Could be, that somehow feels less predatory than people who actively need them selling them to cover other expenses. I’ll post the un-edited one if you want to call and ask. I didn’t want to give these vultures any free publicity though.
