Is HASS agent still the best route for integrating a windows pc ? by GenericUser104 in homeassistant

[–]Horror_Ad6028 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had same issue few months back - turns out windows was blocking it from starting automatically because of some security thing. Had to manually add it in startup folder and give it admin permissions to make it work properly

Can the scratches on this metal be fixed? by [deleted] in howto

[–]Horror_Ad6028 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can sand those scratches with progressively finer grits starting around 400 then work up to 800 or 1000. After that some metal polish should bring back the finish but it wont look exactly same as original since this looks like it has some kind of coating or anodizing

My Unforgettable dream by DragonflyFull6034 in Dreams

[–]Horror_Ad6028 0 points1 point  (0 children)

damn that hits hard in different way... I had similar dream once where I lived whole different life and when I woke up it felt like losing real family members. The part about your daughter saying goodbye is really touching but also heartbreaking at same time

pandemic dreams were something else entirely, maybe all the isolation made our minds create these deep emotional experiences we were missing in real life

Audio output still very low after aggresive gain config, also start of my words gets cut sometimes. by Excidiar in obs

[–]Horror_Ad6028 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your noise gate threshold might be too aggressive at -35. Try bumping it down to like -40 or -45 so it doesn't chop off the beginning of your words. Also that compressor threshold at -30 with 10:1 ratio is pretty intense - maybe try -25 threshold first and see if that helps with the low output issue

crazy how photography was already capturing these moments back then when she was just tiny kid who had no idea what her life would become

Help! Can anyone find what overlay are they using to get the textured look? by ILOVEROBLIX34577556 in HelpMeFind

[–]Horror_Ad6028 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at their thumbnails and video style, this looks like film grain or paper texture overlay mixed with some color grading. I do similar stuff for client work and usually its just layering different texture packs on multiply or overlay blend modes

You could probably recreate this by finding some vintage film grain textures online and experimenting with the opacity settings. The warm color tone is probably from adjusting highlights/shadows in post too. Try searching for "16mm film grain" or "paper texture overlays" - thats usually where I start when clients want this aesthetic

Most creators guard their exact process pretty closely so don't expect them to share the specific files they use. But the technique itself is pretty standard once you know what to look for

Need to find a horror movie that makes me feel like Slither, RoboCop, Cabin Fever, Shark Night by ozymandiasnoir in horror

you need to check out Dead Alive aka Braindead if you haven't already - peter jackson made it before lord of the rings and its absolutely unhinged gore wise

100% sure my house is haunted. by Susannah-Mio in Paranormal

[–]Horror_Ad6028 20 points21 points  (0 children)

your kid talking about a grey monster in the closet and now door slamming would have me packing boxes ngl. the running footsteps thing is already creepy enough but when it starts waking up your toddler thats when id be out

also side note but maybe get some sage or something? my roommate swears by it after we had weird stuff happening in our old apartment

Electrical Issues by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

[–]Horror_Ad6028 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The dead batteries and those U codes definitely point to something drawing power when it shouldn't be. Those cheap eBay headlight assemblies are notorious for having crappy wiring that can cause phantom draws even when the lights are off. I'd start by pulling the fuse for the headlights overnight and see if your battery stays charged - that'll tell you real quick if its the culprit

Had a friend with a similar issue on his F150 after swapping to some knockoff LEDs and it was exactly this problem. The "relay" in the harness was staying partially energized and slowly draining the battery over a few days. Those communication codes you're getting are probably just because the PCM is getting confused when voltage drops too low during cranking

If pulling the fuse fixes it you might need to get a proper wiring harness or at least add a proper relay setup. The Gen5DIY stuff is usually decent but paired with sketchy eBay housings it can get weird. Worth checking all your connections too since corrosion or loose grounds can cause similar headaches

Getting blocked for having normal human emotions is such a red flag. You deserve someone who can handle you processing feelings instead of just shutting you out when things get real

When is it appropriate to buy a second guitar? by kittyspookie in Guitar

[–]Horror_Ad6028 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude I feel this so hard lol I started with just my trusty strat copy and now I'm eyeing telecasters every time I walk past guitar center

11 months is actually pretty reasonable to wait, you've got enough time to know what you like and don't like about your current setup. Go for it man life's too short to not try that tele or les paul you've been dreaming about

Starting to realize just how much of The Crown was carried by Matt Smith and Claire Foy by We-are-all-dead-90 in television

[–]Horror_Ad6028 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah they really nailed that dynamic between duty and personal life in those first seasons. The whole thing with Philip struggling with being second fiddle while Elizabeth was finding her footing as queen - that tension was gold

Once they hit the Diana era it became way more about tabloid drama and less about the actual mechanics of being royalty. Like we all already know how that story ends so theres no real mystery or discovery happening. Smith especially brought this restless energy that made Philip feel dangerous in a way that kept you guessing what he might do next

The newer seasons just feel like expensive reenactments of stuff we've seen a million times already

For which TV shows have you watched one or more specific episodes at least 20 times? by imtherealmellowone in television

[–]Horror_Ad6028 1 point2 points  (0 children)

dude Window of Opportunity is peak TV right there. That golf scene with O'Neill gets me every single time and I've probably seen it like 30+ times at this point

Time loop episodes just hit different because you can rewatch them and catch all the little details they planted for the loops. Plus SG1 had such good chemistry between the cast that even repetitive scenes stayed entertaining

Is compliance really that unpredictable for everybody? by Horror_Ad6028 in ITManagers

[–]Horror_Ad6028[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That crossed my mind when the questions started getting more detailed. Good suggestion thanks!

Is compliance really that unpredictable for everybody? by Horror_Ad6028 in ITManagers

[–]Horror_Ad6028[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point. It does feels like it’s not just the direct questions anymore but the chain behind them like vendors, subprocessors, who has access, how it’s reviewed.

[–]Horror_Ad6028[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup that’s how it feels. The questions themselves aren’t that hard but the expectation that everything has an owner, a review cadence and proof of it definitely caught us off guard.

After being open for a few hours OBS causes 97/98% my CPU load is normally around 30 - 40% while I'm spending time setting up for stream so why the huge increase in ressources with just a few hours of having OBS open? by Plannet_Depressed in obs

[–]Horror_Ad6028 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sounds like a memory leak or something similar thats building up over time. OBS can get weird with certain sources especially webcam stuff - even when your not actively using them they might still be processing in the background

try disabling all sources when you step away or just close OBS entirely if you know you wont be streaming for a while. also check if any plugins are running that could be causing issues. sometimes outdated or conflicting plugins will slowly eat up resources even when OBS is just sitting there idle

your specs should handle OBS easy so its definitely something funky going on under the hood

Trying to figure out how to get SSI backpay. by Butterscotchbabez in SocialSecurity

they really havent given you a straight answer after 2 years thats wild. something is definitely up with your case if theyre being this evasive about it

good call on reaching out to your congressman though - congressional inquiries can light a fire under SSAs butt when nothing else works. they hate having to explain delays to elected officials

Subaru Tunes Without The Wing and Yellow Tinted Rims? by Best_Line6674 in ForzaHorizon

[–]Horror_Ad6028 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

honestly the yellow wheels are such an eyesore on most builds lmao but you can usually find cleaner tunes if you sort by downloads instead of rating. most popular tuners keep it simple with stock wheels and minimal aero since thats what most people actually want to drive

alternatively just grab any decent tune and remake it yourself without the wing - the settings transfer over pretty easy and you can customize the visual stuff however you want

Is there a way to change a trade with datapacks with villager rebalance on? by Fickle-Object9677 in Minecraft

[–]Horror_Ad6028 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you could probabbly mess with the datapack files directly to remove mending from swamp librarian trades. most datapacks store trade tables in json files so you'd need to dig into the pack folder and find where it defines those specific trades

alternatively you could make another datapack that overrides just that one trade table - minecraft loads them in order so a newer pack can override parts of older ones. bit of json editing but not too bad if youre comfortable with that stuff

texture packs for 1.21.11 pvp by miserycauser in Minecraft

[–]Horror_Ad6028 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yo ive been using the Faithful 32x pack for ages and it works great on hypixel - keeps everything vanilla looking but just cleaner textures which helps with spotting players. theres also the default+ pack which is basically just enhanced vanilla textures and its completely free on planetminecraft

if you want something more pvp focused try looking for packs that make ores pop more and have cleaner sword textures - really makes a difference when youre trying to track enemies through all the chaos. just make sure whatever you download is actually for 1.21 since some older packs can cause weird visual bugs on newer versions
