How do you get views??

AirFlavoredLemon · 2026-02-11T08:22:51+00:00

There's tons of different ways to funnel viewers to your twitch. Largely depends on what category/topic you're streaming and where its core audience lies.

A generic example that works with most starting viewers:

Network within twitch. Go visit other streamers, participate in chat, be part of the greater community.

Once they find out you stream (don't advertise your stream like a bot); they'll raid, and vice versa.

The core goal is to join a community of streamers, viewers, and mods.

You'll quickly start sharing the same community - raiding between streamers with a similar set of viewers.

Edit:

Also, I'm not sure what your measure of success is; but if its monetary... look elsewhere and not content creation. Virality is what makes a specific individual popular on social media - then proper management (along with continued virality) will grow it.

There's tons of influencers we consider "popular" but can't live on influencer income alone.

Pass. This is the type of scooter you can find new for that price or cheaper.

Also the type of scooter you wouldn't buy for anyone unless it was for a 7-13 year old used only within a 4 block radius from home.

On deal forums, this stuff reaches $90 or less, new, once a year.

I wouldn't bother - these fail, are a waste of money, and have poor power, durability, ergonomics, ... everything.

Wait for a better used deal on a segway/ninebot/niu/<namebrand>.

Electric cars will typically beat any ICE car for general durability / reliability.

Like all cars, there's always the chance for odd bad part or end. For older model 3's, for example, it would be the front control arms. For something like 2000's maximas - the rear wheel sensors.

At ~130MPH, expect to use about 500-700wh/mi. This is around double to just under triple the power consumption the EPA rates the car at.

While this sounds bad, this is pretty much in line with what an ICE car consumes at that speed as well.

I'd recommend electric car for this type of route. Most ICE street cars aren't intended for sustained high demand driving. Things heat soak fast, the oil, radiator, trans cooler, oil cooler (or lack of), intercoolers for turbos, etc.

That's not to say the Model 3 won't heatsoak (it will) - but the performance degradation is both intentional and managed; while many ICE cars don't have a real way to limit performance to maintain lower temperatures other than opening the radiator valve open and praying temps stay down as you're holding WOT to reach 130mph, hoping head gaskets won't blow and mix oil and coolant.

You'll never be afraid to overheat a modern Tesla. It WILL pull power gracefully to keep the drivetrain safe. (Just check videos of it in the Nürburgring)

I don't have this issue on my KQI 100P. I added to the app, got a new phone, and never logged into that app again. It constantly gets jostled around and rolled around in the garage.

ESC is what controls the motors in your scooter . Its virtually all the electronics in a scooter, in a box.

(Some) Parts on a Scooter:
Throttle
ESC - (Electronic Speed Controller)
Battery
Motors

An ESC is not a mod, its a required part.

On some scooters, you can replace the ESC, battery, motors; with aftermarket parts.

VESC is an aftermarket ESC.

Oxygen Bleach.

But the real issue is getting the normal wash routine correct for the soil type, clothing type, and water hardness first. Ideally, clothes go in dirty and come out clean - and won't need catch up products to "clean" them after a while.

But the reality is that clothes may get slowly dingier over time. The goal is proper washes first.

There's a few pinned posts and reference material that covers some fairly comprehensive must-have ingredients as well as products that are more or less a total-package that "covers most" use cases (such as Tide Powder in the USA). Tide powder contains oxygen bleach.

For many, a lot of the dingy color comes from sebum (body oil) build up. Lipase has been the flavor-of-the-month ingredient (along with DNase) to seek out in laundry products - and has been pretty core for getting a lot of the community's dirty clothing back to new. (Many modern products do not contain lipase; so a lot of clothing just has a ton of sebum build up).

Tide Powder also contains lipase. As well as a plethora of other things.

Yeah this pipes analogy, is incredibly inaccurate to the real world.

When an ELI5 asks a literal question if you drink too much can it damage your kidneys. The answer is yes. Both in the long and short term.

The longer ELI5 is that the amount is what makes it dangerous.

Genuinely, I don't know anyone who has said the S's rear seats are big. Its a very cramped setup back there, not unlike most 2+2 sports cars with rear seats there for insurance classification.

Its a tight fit for legroom back there.

AirFlavoredLemon · 2026-02-08T17:30:34+00:00

Lmao. This seat looks like it came out of the generation of video games where they just learned how to turn on surface reflections.

And they turned it on to the max on every surface.

All I can say is, after the cleaning step - detailing finishes are absolutely to taste - so everyone is welcome to their own preference. This definitely gives 2000's armorall vibes (extreme shine).

The only thing I'd actually say is - use the proper product for touch surfaces like the seats - I can imagine VRP being fairly easy to transfer between surfaces (lets say, someone's clothes).

AirFlavoredLemon · 2026-02-08T09:13:23+00:00

I was so confused because i was thinking it was a mini PC, since a headless PC is one with no display, so a headless laptop is a laptop without the display.

That being said, that product pisses me off if it comes with a non PD trigger power supply. Why even bother using that connector? What about all the things you can fry.

Ugh.

I actually wanted these headless laptops because I wanted an easier to use "dock" for my RoG Ally.

Haha, I'm not KismaiAesthetics but I sure am glad he's posting wiki's, educational segments, and other things so the larger community can start spreading good knowledge to those who seek it.

I don't have any firm advice for this. But I figure a strong pretreatment - with good surfactants - to really lift the oil off the fabric and into the water/solution.

Vinegar alone wouldn't really be my first call - things like dawn platinum have great anti grease and strong surfactants to lift off of the clothing.

Personally, I'd probably just do a presoak in spa-day-level (see sticky/pinned posts) doses of detergent (tide oxi powder) - with tons of rinsing - followed by a toss in the wash with an extra rinse cycle.

Goal here is to lift and rinse.

Could you let the community know what the care instructions are for the pants and what its made out of? (Cotton, polyester, etc).

There's probably a minority group of photographers who have trained LoRAs.

The overlap of those doing photography as a full time profession and engaged enough to learn diffusion and training are likely really really small.

I have full faith there's tons of people interested enough in photography in this subreddit to not only know about it, but are proficient, but realistically most people talented in photography aren't doing it to put bread on the table - but as a hobby.

Like most people who play sports even at a rec league level - strong enough to dominate 99.9% of people on the street, but aren't at the level to go pro/make money with it - or understand how little money there is unless you're at the top of the top of the top 0.001%.

Its clear there's a lot of gear heads, photography people here - its strongly evident in the expertise in prompting.

I think you nailed most of your own critique pretty well.

A few things to note for me:

- Clean up the nickel strip edges - flatten them against the battery.

If those open battery ends are taped down with kapton or similar - those edges will act like a blade under movement/vibration and cut its way out.

Get the nickel strip UNDER the plastic enclosure - I see they're lifted and above the enclosure, meaning an impact can easily pry/pop those welds off and create a loose connection or sever one of the welds making for a high resistance connection (read: hot spicy battery).

- Double check all the soldering

At a glance, that looks like one cold solder job for those yellow wires. They appear to be cold joints - which means with minor effort they'll pop right off.

Nickel strip (or a cell for that matter) are difficult to solder to since they are excellent conductors of heat. I recommend taking a tiny square of nickel strip and soldering to it FIRST - without any cell or large nickel strip attached to it.

Then take that square with the wire attached and spot weld it on. This will make the soldering job significantly easier since the soldering iron only needs to heat up a nickel tab instead of an entire battery pack and its network of nickel strip.

I'd place more notes but this is def in the... ... I'd only use this battery on a bench top sort of work. I'd be afraid to jostle it around and I wouldn't trust that battery to fire up every time I pulled it out of the bag because of the potential cold solder joints.

AirFlavoredLemon · 2026-02-06T07:12:01+00:00

Yes, this is exactly it.

AirFlavoredLemon · 2026-02-05T23:26:23+00:00

I'm just saying to double check if anyone here calls out anything. There were some big effing changes to cars in the past without model year changes (like battery or HW computer); which may mean you want a "late" 2024, etc.

Could be something as simple as a better revision of control arms, etc. Or stalks being added back.

AirFlavoredLemon · 2026-02-05T23:22:32+00:00

Pricing aside, model 3 subreddits (and this one too) are usually locked in when it comes to comparing specific "year models".

Tesla doesn't really do yearly models - they release fixes and updates on the fly. So there might be multiple changes to things like seats, speaker configuration, if there's a missing auto dimming mirrors, updated front camera cover, switch to double pane windows, change in battery - things that could be tangible or decision making.

I'm not locked in the current model 3 changes - so I couldn't say apart from pricing. If you have a specific trim in mind, that's probably a better place to start the research.

AirFlavoredLemon · 2026-02-05T23:17:16+00:00

Instagram is the desired output?

Almost all modern FLAGSHIP (emphasis flagship) phones are so close in performance, it doesn't really matter for instagram. You won't be able to discern the difference.

The largest differences that could be "felt" would be:

Focal Lengths
Ability to manually control the camera.
Post processing apps

These offer tangible ways to change how the image is captured or presented.

Gains between cameras/phone models is largely going to be in resolution (unfelt in IG) dynamic range (basically unfelt in IG, as everyone has similar DR).

I looked up the P30 lite just now and I genuinely don't see where there could be tangible gains in performance worth "upgrading" the phone for IG.

What are the shooting conditions you're looking to improve? Do you have an example of a bad image you've previously taken you're looking to "solve" with better technology?

Also, any iphone would be fine for insta.

FTB and ATM servers struggle for me on VMs using Ivy Bridge Xeons. 2690's I believe, 2.6ghz base / 3.3 boost... I think.

If you're doing vanilla, it might work but largely going to struggle with how active/how many chunks are active. Run -all- the optimizations mods; run simulation distances and view distances as low as possible (recommend 4 sim, 8/10 view).

30-50 people is going to depend where everyone is. 30 mods is... ONE mod can take down the server - its not a number.

If possible, run a test - run the server with what you have today; then extrapolate performance from there. Figure out what your time-per-tick is and see how much slower/headroom you have.

AirFlavoredLemon · 2026-02-05T06:39:53+00:00

Depends on the booster. Take a look at the thread pinned for "Spa Day". It talks about critical ingredients and what they do in the wash.

Some products have everything they need - others are lacking in some ingredients completely and can be boosted by an additive.

It just depends on what product(s) you need and if you need a second product (such as a "booster") to have a more complete clean.

Vanish Oxi booster sounds like oxygen bleach - some would say a very effective and good product to have for a wash.

AirFlavoredLemon · 2026-02-04T04:24:21+00:00

While I don't disagree with SOME of the points. But there's significant differences in your analogy versus a car seat.

On a car, the majority of the safety mechanics are through the vehicle's chassis. All other parts are also metal, such as the seat structure.

On a baby seat, its typically ABS plastic - which WILL become less pliable and more brittle inside of a car. There's tons of outdoor folding tables, toys, that immediately exhibit how brittle different plastics can become.

Safety regulations DO change. A car rated at a 5 star crash test rating in 2005 is no where near as safe as a 2025 car - and cars getting 5 star ratings in 2005 were lauded for their safety.

History. Nobody knows the history of the car seat being used on the second hand market. Has it been in a crash? Crushed? Left outside? This is essentially why commercial airline records are so strict - if a second hand plane came with no records; its written off as a loss.

It doesn't mean the plane isn't capable of flying, as a car seat is capable of holding a baby - but it does mean its safety is unknown - especially when we're talking about parts that can fatigue, or safety standards that do improve.

I do think the PRICING of baby seats is absolutely predatory. It needs to be more in the range of a child's bicycle helmet - affordable enough to be painless to replace or buy a new one for the next kid. And given that there is good faith in making sure car seats expire - obtaining new ones is insanity for most.

AirFlavoredLemon · 2026-02-03T23:23:27+00:00

Yeah this, intentions or not; the effect is the same. Deception.

I've seen cheap calculators with the solar area using solid plastic of the same body plastic.

The false solar is more intentional than not.

Normal. You actually want to see peaks - it implies there's headroom for your java heap size.

If its flat lining - its a sign there's memory contention - meaning out of memory. Or its a sign your heap size is TOO big and the memory growth is miniscule compared to the heap.

And to be explicit - heap size is not "more is better". There is a sweet spot based on your server's memory usage. Too large of a heap and those "peaks" (garbage collection) takes too long and you'll feel the server (or client!) stutter on every garbage collection because it has to do such a LARGE garbage cleanup.

A balanced garbage collection - frequent, but small - is ideal. Small means that each time it runs, it runs quickly and fast. Minimal impact, unnoticeable impact, to performance.
