Doesn’t look like it has Plex support?

Sense8. A tv series about 8 strangers across the world who suddenly become empathetically linked to each other. Incredible storytelling by the Wachowskis. Only 2 seasons but it wraps up well and had me ruminating for weeks after.

Short but fun watch!

I could never get into Don’t Starve but Don’t Starve Together is a blast with friends and mods. The game’s old and developed enough at this point that I wouldn’t try to figure anything out on your own. Just look it up. You’re not gonna miss out on the “discovery”. The game is crushingly hard already.

Qobuz’s shop has a fantastic catalog of nearly all the music I want. A whole lot more than Bandcamp. Highly recommend checking it out if you’re building your music library!

It was frustrating to see Jasmine Crockett make the same mistakes as Kamala Harris in her campaign. Lots of “not that guy” and very little “why me”. Not once did I ever hear about Crockett’s policies in this entire election cycle. In contrast, every video of Talarico out there is him spitting bars about the same policies he has been fighting for for years.

Anyway, the battle is still ahead of us.

This kind of armchair take on human suffering will lead you down a dark path.

Have empathy for others.

 

All I’m getting from the news are food aid deliveries and more blockade news. Nothing on the ground.

What are every day Cubans going through right now? Does anyone know?

Join us! It’s a slow start but that’s the point! Still wish algorithmic feeds are an option though.

Thanks! This is what we did before our current food. She would eat a new brand of food for a week, get tired, and we’d swap out. We would float maybe 3-4 different brands at a time.

The problem with this is that we can never buy anything larger than 1-2lbs at a time of each brand because they last for so long and eventually get stale.

Already did. Asked several in fact. They all recommend the same damn food that my dog doesn’t like. Their job is to keep my dog alive, which is not the same as making sure they’re happy.

 

Reddit wants me to believe that Pedigree and other mainstream WSAVA compliant brands are the only possible foods to feed your dog.

All other foods will kill your dog. Raw will kill your dog. Homemade will kill your dog.

My shiba’s been on dehydrated turkey barley for 5 years and in the prime of her health. The problem is that the company that makes her food suddenly shut down and she refuses to eat kibble.

Anyone have any recommendations for non-kibble dog food for a picky dog?

Nice. Been looking for something like this. Any screenshots?

[–] TacoEvent@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

Yes! That’s exactly it haha. It was so long ago! I gotta make it for myself now!

 

I installed this app on my previous phone a long time ago probably from some privacy Reddit thread and never touched it again. I have it on my new phone after transferring data over and it looks like it still works exactly the same way.

Any thoughts from people more informed about privacy than I am? Is it a security risk? I am giving up a ton of access to it.

 

Removed the boiler from my Gaggia Classic and it was a humbling experience to learn just how much scale can build up even on RO water.

Ultimately wasn’t able to get the boiler looking squeaky even after 2 hours of sitting in descale solution. Is that probably fine? I just rinsed and brushed it until I didn’t see any more visible scale flakes coming off. Flow is back to normal as far as I can tell.

 

I have an old Alienware r8 and several 2-4 TB HDDs gathering dust in a closet. The Alienware actually runs remarkably quiet and it occurred to me I could turn it into a DIY NAS.

I’m not entirely sure where to start though. Some immediate questions:

  • What’s a good NAS OS to install?
  • Any fun things I can do besides plex transcoding with a 1080 GPU?
  • Would it make sense to run a Pixelfed/Mastodon server off this guy?
  • Can I run a RAID on it without buying a separate HDD bay?

Background:

I already have a Synology NAS running Plex. It transcodes 1080p fine which is really all I need it for.

Other than a Plex port forward, I have zero experience putting services out on the public web (but would like to learn!).

 

Started up season 2 of Avatar The Last Airbender and it occurred to me that I never skip the intro sequences for any episode of this show. It’s just so good.

What other show intros can you not skip?

 

I thought it was the cologne they spray at the store, but even clothes I have delivered from a distribution center also have a smell that is very discernibly NOT Tide detergent.

How?? What are they washing these clothes with to make them smell like that??

  1. Post a wish, like for a genie (e.g. "I wish for a million dollars")
  2. People comment with ways it can backfire. (e.g. "Great! Here's 2700 Zimbabwean dollars.")
  3. Profit!
 

I understand that weather on TV can’t be hyperlocally accurate. But a weather app on my phone has my exact GPS coordinates. Why can’t it tell me exactly when a rain cloud will be passing over my location?

It’s gotten to the point where I just use precipitation maps to figure out my rain chances for the day.

The hourly forecast is mostly useless because it’s not a chance % but a % of the area that will be raining.
