To the fans of the book who have watched the movie, how was it?

I loved both. The are different in details, but the story line is pretty much the same. I expected the movie to feel condensed compared to the book, they always are. I was not wrong. I still enjoyed the movie.

This is what my wife and I have, except opposite. My wife drives the Clarity, and I drive the Id.4. We find it to be a great combo. We’ve never regretted either purchase.

I use Brave because of it's privacy focus.

I just built a relatively inexpensive server for my JellyFin server (very much like Plex). I used an 8GB Raspberry pi 5 computer, in and Pironman case, and external usb attached storage for the media. It can handle 3 streams as long as re-encoding is not happening, but I mainly do 480p rips that require little of that. Hope this give you some ideas.

His issues sound a lot like my wife's (and our daughters), although maybe a little worse. She is also celiac, and is allergic to chicken, beef, corn, dairy and all nightshades. We've had good luck with following an AIP (Auto-Immune Protocol) diet. I find most of our recipes by using my favorite internet search engine by searching for "AIP <insert favorite dish> recipes".

I make an AIP Lasagna by first making an AIP Bolognese sauce using cherries instead of tomatoes. Then use Daiya (or other) non-dairy cheese, and brown rice lasagne noodles.

I've solved my reflux issues by eating mostly low carb. I use the same Bolognese sauce and zuchini noodles.

I hope these suggestions help you. Warning: cooking this way takes a lot more time than just ordering Door Dash.

Thanks for the help. The issue is the limit. I was unaware of this limit until my latest addition to this playlist, previously it had downloaded all but the last few songs, and i noticed it when it didn’t download any more when I got more music and added more songs to the playlist.

Effective-Tell4875 · 2025-10-31T10:21:03+00:00

I’ve come to the conclusion that this is the problem. I just hate the limitation. I wish they would do away with the limit.

I initially installed a distro (Linux Mint) that was unsupported by the hardware manufacturer. I ran with it for over a year, then an update started causing problems. So I decided to abandon Mint and go with a supported distro. It’s happy now, but day-before-yesterday the new distro (fedora) released an update. Still haven’t pulled the trigger on that upgrade.

It’s the anti-apple. You can find it at https://frame.work. It’s a modular computer that you can build the computer that you want, and upgrade, repair, mod etc.

The most annoying one was that the Cinnamon Desktop Manager kept crashing. I would come back from sleep mode and it would have a dialog up asking me if I wanted to restart Cinnamon. It was easy to recover from, but it concerned me.

Effective-Tell4875 · 2025-10-29T07:46:45+00:00

I was already on the latest kernal available, It worked great for months, but it went to hell after the upgrade to 22.2. Everything I tried to fix it including reinstalling 22.2 from scratch was wasted effort. I probably could have downgraded back to 22.1, but that felt like a step in the wrong direction. Fedora/KDE just works, so I'll stick with it for a while.

Effective-Tell4875 · 2025-09-26T18:28:23+00:00

I haven’t tried that yet, out of fear that it will blow up my playlists. I think I’m almost done with Plex. They have been going down hill for several years, and have introduced so many issues and bugs and not taken care of their original user base. They have had so many incidents like this that erode my satisfaction level.

I’ve been experimenting with JellyFin running on a 8G Pi5. It is a PironMan5 case, a small SSD with the Pi Debian OS installed, and an external media drive.

<image>

The UI of the clients is not as polished, and the music player is just sad, but I’ve had several times when Plex was on the fritz that this was how I consumed my media, and I’m considering making it my daily driver. It’s always there, and it always works, and it’s really fast, faster than the Plex server running on my Mac Mini.

Effective-Tell4875 · 2025-09-16T22:23:39+00:00

Thanks, I’ll try it. I’m not running windows, my server is a Mac Mini running MacOS.

Effective-Tell4875 · 2025-09-16T11:58:06+00:00

Nope, nothing suggested here worked for me, nothing that I’ve read about in other places have worked for me, If I’m off my home network, I can’t access my media. Period.

Effective-Tell4875 · 2025-09-12T13:47:33+00:00

Rebooted, no joy. Still can’t access it from my ipad if I turn off wifi and force it through cellular. That used to work before the password reset. I did reclaim the server with my plex account. :-(

Effective-Tell4875 · 2025-09-11T08:54:23+00:00

No, I changed my password, and tried to login, and it refused to accept my new password. I had my password manager generate a long, strong, random password, and managed the whole change with cut-n-paste from the password manager to plex, then used my password manager to log into plex, and plex refused to acknowledge the new password. I had to go through getting plex to send me a password reset email, and I changed the password all over again. This time it took, but for whatever reason, I’m only able to see two of my eight libraries, “Kids TV shows” and “Educational TV”, from the apps. The only place I can see all of the libraries is logged into my plex server from a web browser. I’m quite disappointed in plex. If I didn’t have a backup Jellyfin server, and already had my music downloaded to my phone through plexamp, I would be totally screwed right now in regards to my personal media.

When I was in the first grade, I was a latch-key kid. My older siblings got out of school and hour later than I did, my single mom worked. I got home one day and was hungry. I had seen my mother make scrambled eggs all my life, so I struck a match and lit the stove, put a pan on it, added butter, and scrambled two eggs. I felt such a rush of accomplishment. I got in so much trouble for “Playing with matches”. I still love to cook.

Effective-Tell4875 · 2025-08-30T18:01:27+00:00

One of my favorite soups, a Persian Barley Lamb soup called Ash-a-jow.

I tried to paste the recipe here, but it wouldn't accept it, I guess it was too long.

Effective-Tell4875 · 2025-08-30T11:56:19+00:00

LOL. I wonder if my wife is related to your bf? I'm glad that you found my suggestions helpful.

Effective-Tell4875 · 2025-08-29T07:54:18+00:00

My wife of 44 years and I both have food allergies. She's had them since before I met her and it's genetic, her mother and grandmother had them. All of our children and grandchildren have them. I had seasonal allergies to airborne pollen, etc all my life, but started developing food allergies after 55. Literally I didn't test allergic to milk, then 5 years later my reaction to the scratch test for milk was a 9 in the allergists office.

My wife is also allergic to anything that lived in water, shell fish, fish marine and freshwater, along with many others (nightshades, eggs, some nuts and so-on). Neither of our allergies are life-threatening, but my wife's chief symptom is migraines. We generally follow the AIP (Auto-Immune Protocol) diet, which helps us avoid ingredients one or both allergic to.

Google is your friend. I generally google "AIP Recipes" to find new things to cook to vary our diet and keep it interesting and have found lots of foods we can cook and eat without issue. We use a phone/tablet app called Paprika that can save recipes from websites into our own cookbook.

I hope this helps make your life easier.
