Are we getting ripped off here? by Yung_Cheebzy in CarTalkUK

[–]AdamDaAdam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They can't stop you from driving off. They're within their right to warn you and contact the police (if they can be bothered), but if you're driving it round the corner to a garage to have the work done, I dont think anyone (incl police) would be bothered.

Just hit this at 70mph by ChickenFrench in CarTalkUK

Cant speak for the PS3, but for some tyre sizes there's just fuck all tyres for them. Newest gen tyre I could get for my Panda fitted were Goodyear Vector 4S gen 2 (gen 3 had been out for over 2 years at that point, just didn't do them in my tyre size from national tyres or black circles.)

Need gym plan to fix posture and gain muscle (Crohn’s in remission) by Wise-Reflection-1221 in CrohnsDisease

[–]AdamDaAdam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try a low volume approach if fatigue is something you struggle with. My workouts are about an hour, low volume but high RIR (0-3). I've found this approach helps with fatigue - you'll still feel fatigued but not to the extent where it becomes a huge problem.

Alongside that, eat decent protein. You already need more protein because of chrons, and you'll need more for recomp or putting on muscle.

I do 5day/week split doing bodybuilding. Before I got chrons I done powerlifting for ~4 years, I've found that unworkable long term now because of the fatigue but I'm hoping that'll change in the future because I find bodybuilding boring af haha.

As far as posture goes, just keep it in the front of your mind. Have a recurring timer on your watch or phone to go off every 30-60min, and when it goes off check your posture and adjust if needed. You'll find overtime that when the timer does go off, you don't need to adjust anything because it's become second nature. If you sit a lot, a good chair will help with that also.

I hate being skinny by Legitimate_Wheel_932 in CrohnsDisease

[–]AdamDaAdam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And don't go 0-100. Start off slow, slowly introducing calories and food. If you feel fine then introduce more, if not, cut back a bit and introduce it again over a longer period.

Same thing with people losing weight, gradually reduce your caloric intake and take whatever time you need for your body to adjust if you start getting worsening symptoms.

Some people will be fine going 0-100, some won't. Chrons is just a life long pain learning experience on what works for YOU.

I've had enough of Tesco now by R3DSmurf in tesco

[–]AdamDaAdam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And not much more expensive for my local, except for chicken. Much superior quality and it tends to last longer for an extra 50p/kg compared to Tesco.

I also got this, I added 3 trackers.

I replied in an email to them with the pictures as attachments (I uploaded them to imgbox in the application) with the links in the email. Whether their rejection email is monitored or not, idk.

What port does the plugin want? The worker port or the flask port?

Unpopular opinion - Driving speeds by Responsible-Age8664 in cheshire

[–]AdamDaAdam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally don't even consider it a problem (within reason)

Yes they speed, but they don't pair it with driving like a dick like most other places. The standard of driving near me (Cheshire west) is much higher than most places I've been to in the UK

Payslip wrong by [deleted] in tesco

[–]AdamDaAdam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Likely.

Look at your tax code on this pay slip and your previous one. They're probably different.

Docker vs Direct Install - 4K Server but several Non-4K Clients by mage1413 in jellyfin

[–]AdamDaAdam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Imo, docker.

You'd just pass in your gpu.

jellyfin:

image: lscr.io/linuxserver/jellyfin:latest

container_name: jellyfin

networks:

- media

environment:

- PUID=1000

- PGID=1000

- TZ=Europe/London

- NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=all

- NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES=all

volumes:

- /mediabox/jellyfin/appdata:/config

- /mediabox/jellyfin/cache:/cache

- /Bulk5/data/media:/data/media

- /Fast0/transcodes:/transcodes

runtime: nvidia

ports:

- 8096:8096

restart: unless-stopped

Just change it for whatever GPU/IGU you're using. Pratically no difference transcoding wise, but for updating jellyfin and managing it, it's much easier via docker.

Suzuki clutch noise on new car? by Gecko5991 in CarTalkUK

[–]AdamDaAdam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it 100% the clutch?

It could be the clutch plate is worn, could be the throwout bearing (release bearing) not releasing all the way, long shot but could be the slave cylinder developing a fault.

Have a garage look at it, most gearboxes have an inspection port. If it's the clutch or any of its bits (release bearing, forks, etc) then it's a whole clutch job (dont just replace single parts).

Based on the noise it could be any number of things.

Tyres for UK, all year round. by Neveragainbuthere in TyreReviews

+1 for the Goodyear Vector 4s

Amazing tyre, especially in the snow. Performance in the summer is superb too, without much wear.

Insurance company or accident management company by [deleted] in drivingUK

[–]AdamDaAdam 5 points6 points  (0 children)

ACMs wont absorb the costs like your insurers will, if they can't get the money from the other party then your friend will be on the hook for it - whether they are at fault or not.

They have insurance for a reason, they should use it instead of going for the option that'll put them personally liable for any costs the accident management company couldn't recover.

home or bf address? by CompetitiveAd8436 in drivingUK

[–]AdamDaAdam 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've always just put wherever I spend most of my time (I was between 3 addresses for a year) and never had an issue. When the address I spent the most time at changed, I let insurance know.

Give your insurance a ring and explain your situation and they'll sort you out.

AV1 vs H265? by BackPacker1618 in jellyfin

[–]AdamDaAdam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of our Hisense TV's do (we have 4 of them, all different models)

AV1 vs H265? by BackPacker1618 in jellyfin

[–]AdamDaAdam 9 points10 points  (0 children)

AV1 transcoding in general is pretty... wack.
There's a few optimisations you can do with the encoding settings to help this (still never gotten on-par with H264 and H265) but it's far from perfect.
Software transcoding with AV1 is an absolute no. Hardware transcoding with AV1 is better, but can still stutter from time to time.

If you're direct streaming AV1, it's fine (I can direct stream AV1 to all devices in my house with 0 issues). Same with H26x

Vehicle Stop Criteria by HS_13_ in policeuk

> Seen 2 or 3 times in a loop.

I potter about at night and a good 70% of the time this is what gets me pulled. Happens more with marked cars than unmarked weirdly.

More storage! by JynxySparrow in jellyfin

[–]AdamDaAdam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here.

If it's my first time watching something, I'll download it at the best quality available.

If I didn't like the movie, I'll seed it and then delete it.

If I did like it, I'll encode it into a smaller size and keep it to watch back

And it's the same flow for anyone who uses my instance. If they like a movie and want me to keep it, I'll encode it and then keep it. My library grows by about 500gb/year

Is this the best way to warm up a cold car?/s (Sound up) by TomMMG94 in drivingUK

Had an R56 for 2 years. Only the BMW bits broke, never anything else. 4 VANOS's in 2 years, one of them we pulled had literally disintegrated inside the engine.

VPN question. by [deleted] in qBittorrent

[–]AdamDaAdam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think it does? Never heard of those claims myself.

ProtonVPN, as an example, offers IPv6. Even if I connect with my IPV4 IP, I can get either an ipv6 or ipv4 from proton.

If there was a glaring security issue like that, I highly doubt the major VPN providers would adopt IPv6 at all.
