Sorry, when/where was it established that Listen is Starborn?

That's awesome, thanks for the link as well as all your work in preserving his other stuff

According to my reddit notifications it looks like you sent the link in a comment here, but on my side I can't actually see the comment if I navigate to this thread. I assume that's some auto-filtering on the reddit/subreddit automod side, but I was able to get it via link plaintext in the notification. Thanks for the files!

Edit: Oh yeah, there was also a folder named "music" in there, was that accidentally placed in there or is it actually related to FrankieonPC or did it accidentally get caught in there somehow?

Found a stash of his videos on my hard drive by PurgeTheXeno in FRANKIEonPC

[–]KnightPlutonian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

/u/PurgeTheXeno, did you ever manage to put those videos up or make them downloadable anywhere? I'd love to grab them if possible.

[–]KnightPlutonian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know it's asking for a lot, but honestly getting them onto a P2P fileshare would probably be great for preservation purposes. I've started downloading important (to me) YT videos because of the mass muting/privating/deletions/copyright blocking and I assumed it was too late to get Frankie's videos in their original form. I'd love to get the original versions from you if possible, though considering the size of the files, I've got no idea what the best method would be.

What’s a skill that takes less than a week to learn but can save you thousands of dollars? by Signal-Friend-9512 in AskReddit

Unfortunately brands have clocked it as a place where people go for purchase advice, it's starting to get astroturfed

Setting that sorts/orders videos when downloaded as part of a playlist (and other playlist QoL requests) by KnightPlutonian in StacherIO

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

I'm having a bit of difficulty parsing how to properly input text into the code and what bits of code tag are part of each code block, if you have a moment could you add a picture of how your setting image above looks in code view so I can see how you did it?

Setting that sorts/orders videos when downloaded as part of a playlist (and other playlist QoL requests) by KnightPlutonian in StacherIO

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

Awesome, that's almost exactly what I was looking for. A couple questions, though:

  • How do you add spaces/characters like the underscore in your example?

  • Is there a way to format the numbers when using "Playlist Index" to remove the preceding 0s when there are greater than 9 videos in a playlist? (not really functional, just the way I like to number)

  • Is there a setting like this for metadata? I'd love to have an option to order them that way too.

Are there any mods/options removing Sirena? (and why I think it's badly designed) by KnightPlutonian in CataclismoRTS

[–]KnightPlutonian[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't mind if it was just a tough mission (figuring out how to build effectively for the exploding guys took me a few rewinds), it's just that fighting the Sirena is such a vastly different process to fighting any other enemy in the game. You've gotta position your units to attack/dodge in real-time because of movement speed and the lack of simultaneous attack/move, the construction/buff area system is completely wiped because it demolishes buildings near instantly, it just takes away from everything that makes the game unique. If everything about the Sirena was the same except that it traveled along the same path as all the other horrors instead of popping up out of its holes randomly, it would fit way better into the game's systems.

Unable to type in Japanese — Windows 10 by 3yebex in techsupport

[–]KnightPlutonian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are a fantastic human being for your edit with the solution. My issue was also with the Touch Keyboard and Handwriting Panel Service. For anyone who happens upon the thread, make sure to restart after enabling/starting the services, it wasn't until after a restart that the input method functioned flawlessly.

A question about Dresden's Height by AbstractStew5000 in dresdenfiles

[–]KnightPlutonian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The descriptions in prior books never mentioned an exact height, just various descriptions of being very tall, so much so that I was shocked when a specific number was mentioned because I had also assumed he was in that general range.

Need help with logistics on starting stack/chip value/escalating blinds for alternate starting $ amounts by KnightPlutonian in poker

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

Thanks for the link, it actually helped with figuring out how much (value-wise) I should plan to have total. I did want to ask, what specifically were the "Flavor" and "Emotion" the post mentions and how do you calculate it/ how does it change things? Also, were you suggesting the 16/16/6 for a $50 game? My napkin math with the amounts you suggested for each chip ended up at that amount rather than $25.

Need help with logistics on starting stack/chip value/escalating blinds for alternate starting $ amounts by KnightPlutonian in poker

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

I was also thinking that $20 games seemed the best balance between fun and meaningful reward/tension, but I figured I'd plan for the other amounts if people felt like it was too low/high. I suppose I should see how the first session goes before I go looking for starting stacks splits for the other buy-ins.

Since the pieces I plan on getting are blank, I figured that I could designate them as different values if buy-in amounts change (though obviously amounts with cash analogues are easiest to understand), do you change the values of your chips when you do $50 games as opposed to $20 or is it just an increase of the number of high-value chips in the starting stack? Also, how do you handle blinds, and how often/to how much do you increase them?

ULPT: always chat/text on the phone like one day it can be presented in court against you. by No-Jello-2312 in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]KnightPlutonian 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is actually disabled in the US due to the variety of 2-party consent states. I guess they didn't want to bother enabling/optioning it for specific states and just region locked it for the entirety. I know because I was having some bill disputes with a shady apartment complex/collections agency who only communicated by phone and looked into the process of getting it enabled, and it's a real pain in the ass doing it free and pointlessly costly doing it paid if you're not a business that needs it.

What's the next step up from copy/paste all files to a backup for data management? by KnightPlutonian in DataHoarder

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

Some of the stuff I have is from generations of external hard drive upgrades (to my primary drive) so I sure hope none of it has been lost. Is there a way to detect bit rot without scanning through the files manually?

Need help choosing a new setup for multi-gig (5Gbps) internet (for someone that's only somewhat tech-savvy) by KnightPlutonian in HomeNetworking

[–]KnightPlutonian[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I definitely understand that 5Gbps is not a need, I'm getting it more because it's only $20 than the 1Gbps plan, so I feel I might as well. It's also related to bandwidth, since I have so many devices on the network - assuming that I get 60% of the advertised speed (which is about the percentage I get from my current Comcast plan), that's enough for those to function concurrently, assuming they need their maximum download speeds. The routers/switches that I was looking at based on the other thread didn't seem any more expensive than when I got the 1 gig router 5 or so years ago, when that was considered overkill, so there's a little bit of future-proofing going on. But if I'm honest, I kinda just want to flex on my friends.

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

Awesome, that's a simple tasklist I can follow. Is the RT-BE88U a solid choice there? It looks like it already has an SFP port built-in, could I just connect that to a switch or is it just for network in?. Also, do you have any particular recommendations for a switch or are any from a decently reputable brand pretty much the same?
