Hi I’m new here. My friend has been trying to get me in for ages. The reason I am here is because my Reddit account of 10 years and one of 3 years got permabanned. And it was really for no reason. I tried to make a new account and that also got instantly permabanned. That’s when I found out that my 10year account also got banned. So yeah fuck what happened on Reddit.

I’m really liking lemmy and my iOS app (mlem) and enjoying the community. The only thing I miss from Reddit is the video integration.

Please don’t give kids smartphones period. A smart watch is far less addictive and just as valuable to parents and kids (parents can track location, kids can still make phone calls and txt.) other suggestions are a dumb phone (think t9 txting), or just let them go phoneless.

Commenting to bring awareness to the ‘arrs. Radarr sonarr and lidarr will get you all the media you need organized perfectly. It runs on any device but take a few days to figure out. Once setup it’s a set it and forget it thing. Uses torrents and or usent so use a vpn. Mine runs on a 10 year old raspberry pi 2 and a few usb hdds. Been going strong with very little maintenance for 6 years at this point.

The repubs complain about the border, a border bill comes up. Republicans refuse to pass it.

Yes I’ve done it. What sucks is you make a lot of trash this way. Also double and triple check that the drives you buy will have standard sata connectors on them.

You just haven’t gaslighted your ai into saying the glue thing. If you keep trying by saying things like “what about non-toxic glue” or “aren’t there glues designed for humans” the ai will finally give in and recommend the glue. Don’t give up. Glue is good for us.

Well you get an a for effort. But if your friend wants to play windows games it’s better for them to just have windows on the machine. I give it to you and your friend for going all out on a new laptop and putting Linux on it right away.

A more convenient way for a new user to experience Linux is to do a live usb for them. That way they can boot into Linux easily but boot into windows just by removing the usb drive.

Super stoked, and everything I am reading and seeing of him only makes me more excited.

It’s on YouTube if you haven’t seen it already. And it is glorious.

I liked the ones that had fm receivers in them and if you plugged in a pair of headphones they would act as the antenna and you could listen to local Radio stations.

Remember that solar just doesn’t stop working at some random day. The efficiency drops to where it makes sense to replace then people like me come in and buy the panels for pennies on the dollar because a 18% efficient panel will work just fine.

lol. What? You have a link to article or some proof of a video file as an attack vector for a hacker? Video files aren’t executable and even if there was a way to cause some type of malware to be ran from it the file it would have to be coded explicitly for the video player/system running it.

My guess that if this was a legit attack vector that all the latest movies and big popular tv shows would be targeted and we would hear a lot of stories about it.

You’re on Linux which gives you a huge leg up on not being target by a virus. Just chill and watch your movie.

It’s a really good game. Highly recommended if you have a partner or friend who likes couch coop games.

Just jumping in here to let you know that most of the people here missed one of the most basic and first steps in pc repair… CLEAR THE CMOS!!!!

There might be a jumper on the mb but the easy way is to remove the battery and try to turn the power on and off a few times.

Replace the battery and the computer should try to POST.

I know it seems crazy but sometimes computers that won’t post had major hardware changes and the bios won’t let power through. Not sure why but clearing the cmos will revert to defaults and get you to the next step of troubleshooting.

Same thing happened to me. My comment was “kid deserved it” on a video where, at school a kid called a teacher the n-word and then squared up to fight him. The teacher punched the kid in the face.

That was my comment and there were others saying pretty much the same thing both above and below my comment. 10,000 karma gone.

I’ve been banned from subs before but never from the whole site. Interestingly that was not my only account banned. My main account (which I never post on) was also banned and when I made a new account, that was banned as well.

My theory is that someone flagged me for something and then went to all my posts and also flagged them and a limit was reached that just autobans site wide. That’s the theory anyway.

The funny thing is that all my comments are pretty benign and I actively fight against racism and bigotry on Reddit. I was one of the good guys!

Lidarr already has a lists import feature specifically with Spotify integration. The choices are: “Spotify followed artists,” “Spotify playlists,” “Spotify saved albums.”

In California when you do mail in ballots you get a notification that your ballot has arrived (and will be counted). I believe you can also opt to bring your mail in ballot and vote “normal” as well.

1080p is way better if you have a screen that is a good size. Also if you are into surround sound (I am) there is a lower chance to get it on 720p rips.

I (American) spent about a month in the Philippines and traveled around a bunch by scooter on the main island. I don’t recall having to use something special to recharge my phone or my battery bank.

It’s an amazing country with amazing people. You are in for a treat. The language is kind of complex for me but luckily a lot speak really good English and I had no problems communicating. Finding vegetarian food was the most difficult part during my stay.

Reach out if you have any questions or want to know more!

You know CO (carbon monoxide) is treated just like oxygen by the body but the brain doesn’t realize it’s not getting the oxygen you just pass out. It’s the reason why people die by accident, the body just breaths like normal.

Forgive me, but isn’t sharing files between pc and an iPhone and remotely accessing a windows computer, two totally different things?

To share files between iPhone and pc you just plug in a usb cable and or use iTunes.

To remotely access a pc there are web services like gotomypc.com (among others) and software services like vnc (among others).

Why do you think this event makes it so?

Rocket league, random emulated games, and 50% through red dead redemption.

Put the nas and router where the internet comes in at and the just use WiFi for your office and the rest of the house. Thats what 99% of the people do. All the new WiFi routers are really efficient at beam forming and other technologies to get you a decent signal.

At my house, since it is raised up I was able to crawl under and run Ethernet to the living room for the htpc(gaming) computer and it was pretty easy to install a keystone next to a power outlet. Not sure if that is viable in your situation.

But even then I didn’t bother running Ethernet to all the rooms because even streaming 4k video is viable over WiFi. Though I understand it might not work so well if trying to edit on a nas or something similar.

What I said wasn’t zesty at all. The only thing I can think of is someone went to all my comments and reported me. I’ve been temp banned from communities before but never banned from Reddit and would never expect to get permanently banned from Reddit the site along with my other Reddit accounts.

He donated money when he was 17. It was $15.

Probably Nintendo game cube. But from what I now a Wii U that’s modded can natively play Wii and GameCube games and emulate the earlier Nintendo games.

I like couch party games and between the Wii U and n64 there is no shortage of them.

Super sad. This is serials bed let them live with their choices. No more money, weapons, or support. The US is complacent with genocide happening in Palestine.

All we want to hear from you madam vice president is that you will no longer fund these animals.

Why don’t you just buy and rip the (dvd, blueray, etc.) and then donate or give away the physical copy to someone?

I am like you in that I don’t care to have the box a movie comes in and everything I buy gets ripped and then given away to my neighbors or friends.

Should be fine. Think of all the usb storage devices like senate and western digital. They all operate with a very similar adapter. The firmware on the drive should mark bad sectors not the interface that connects it.

I bet this is ops issue. Either the vpn auto selected the fastest server (probably in Italy) of op defaulted to a local server. Op should change server to a country with more lax rules (Netherlands?).

I honestly think you would be more happy with any hackable (openwrt compatible) router over the pi. The pi is great for many things but for a router is really lacking.

Does this happen on iOS too? I listen to podcasts every night for an hour and never hear any ads except for the ones encoded with the file, ie sponsor ads.

If that’s the case you can share a drive or folder on windows using smb. And then on iOS you can connect to that share with the files app. I use this all the time with my nas.

Don’t over complicate it. 3 copies: backup, main, and offsite; 2 different media: hdd and data center; 1 offsite. I like blackblaze but anything from google to Amazon will work.

Don’t worry about the speed. The important thing is that you are giving back. Seed to at least 150% or forever if you can. Your upload speed is usually lower than your download speed from your isp.

Before getting all crazy and changing the setup why don’t you try Wi-Fi. Yes Wi-Fi. Your cable might only be 100mbit and your WiFi may be faster.

Wi-Fi 5 can theoretically transmit data at speeds of up to 3.5 Gbps. And obviously WiFi 6 and 7 are even faster.

Do it! Yeah start with the mother board and see what happens and then open the fucker up and replace the try to move the platters to working drive. You don’t have anything to lose so why not. 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.

Did you visit the gili islands? Love that place.

This sounds awesome but not sure it would apply to my use case. Maybe you could elaborate.

What I want is to have 1 pc be a host for all the tvs in my house (4, master bedroom, guest room, office, and living room) each room has a video output and a usb cable with a hub that has keyboard and mouse and maybe a controller for games.

So far what I have is all the displays are mirrored and the keyboard and mice and joysticks work in each room but all the displays show the same thing.

It would be rad if each one was a vm and had its own front ends so you could watch plex in one room while someone plays Dave the diver in another.
