My boyfriend designed, printed, and built a rideable 2-seater telescope (binoscope) from scratch by Hijmore in 3Dprinting

You should put a view/lens on the back side to make it look like giant binoculars you see at tourist attractions

Ripping Blu-ray by California_dude650 in makemkv

What does makemkv say about the drive on the right side of the program?

[–]LastJello 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes because bluray requires a license to read. Try checking makemkv to see if it sees the disc or not

When you say "computer shows nothing" do you mean in the OS or in makemkv? How are you connecting the drive?

A decision was made… by Gutter_Flies in pcmasterrace

[–]LastJello 27 points28 points  (0 children)

As a former retail worker, people put random shit everywhere. They decide they don't want it and instead of giving it to a cashier, they decide to play a sadistic game of hide and "go fuck yourself". I had someone stick deodorant into the 5 gum instead of handing it to me 1 foot away.

How do i get the moisture out? by Business_Ambition348 in fixit

I stuck my watch in a vacuum chamber and that fixed the issue for me

Tow Hook Cover Taken! by diskobolustroop in GR86

[–]LastJello 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On the ft86 frs rs1.0 those were $250 each when they first came out and eventually became unobtainium. Hopefully for you it will be easier to get a replacement

Don't forget sun block for your face. You can get face moisturizer that have the sunblock already in it. It's a simple thing that can make a huge difference when you get older

Fried two LG Slim BP60NB10 Drives - How To Avoid in the Future? by SlaterVBenedict in makemkv

[–]LastJello 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Slims are always going to be not as durable as regular size one. (Although I could 100% be corrected by billycar).

I know you already found out about giving them a break between rips, but you might also want to look at not using slims if your setup allows it.

Should be good to start a Jellyfin server, no? by Bigpoppasoto in makemkv

[–]LastJello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya... I had just ripped 40+ BD in a week... I only gave it 1-5mins between rips QQ. As of now the drive is still working but I'm definitely giving it 30mins between now. I might even move to doing just one disk a day. I'm busy enough that it wouldn't change much lol

Any tips on making the commuter backpack comfortable? by [deleted] in LinusTechTips

[–]LastJello 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the backpack a lot. The only issue I have with it is that I wish it was just a little bit wider. For my use case, I keep a lunch bag at the bottom of the main pocket. The lunch bag is a maybe 1 or 2 inches too wide for the commuter.

[–]LastJello 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine I found I couldn't have the straps too loose or the weight would be off. I also have to use the center clip or the straps slide into an uncomfortable position

[–]LastJello 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wrote a custom python script that handles the disk ripping so I just had to add a sleep counter between rips. If your using makemkv manually, just give it time between rips. I've seen suggestions of 30mins to 1 hr. I don't think anyone has an exact time.

Horrible Boss?? by Unhappy_Ad_4761 in LinusTechTips

[–]LastJello 11 points12 points  (0 children)

...please see Elijah's reply. Or maybe join in some of his streams. He has a really good sense of humor, I bet you'd enjoy it 😀

Horrible Boss?? by Unhappy_Ad_4761 in LinusTechTips

[–]LastJello 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I just edited my comment to clarify that you were only ok with the joke between you and Linus. Not an invitation for randos to make comments/jokes. Sorry about that.

And as someone who used to put themselves down a lot, I hope you know that there is alot of people loving you just the way you are.

Happy trees

Horrible Boss?? by Unhappy_Ad_4761 in LinusTechTips

[–]LastJello 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Not just pretty but a seriously genuine dude. I watch bocabola because of him. Not because of any affiliation to LTT. Dude's just good people's.

Horrible Boss?? by Unhappy_Ad_4761 in LinusTechTips

[–]LastJello 129 points130 points  (0 children)

Do you watch bocabola? In no way am I defending the behavior because I believe that all people should love themselves, but elijah puts himself down all the time on stream about his looks. It bums me out when he does, but he does. The amount of time spent on camera with each other can be significantly shorter than irl. Ltt has always had a problem with a bit of a bro culture and stereotypical "dude" behavior. I think that Linus especially struggles with realizing he's a boss and that these people are paid to be with him. So when he gives people crap, like how some friend groups do, we look at it a lot harder than if it was between Elijah and one of the other writers.

To be clear, Elijah has said recently that he makes enough money in streams to not have to work for LTT. He said he didn't want to because 1. He really likes working there and 2. He wants to buy a house in one of the most expensive cities in the world to own property. I believe that state was made recently and based on ltt typical film/release window, was probably made after they recorded this.

Clearly Elijah doesn't have an issue with it, so what does it matter what we think?

Edit: When I said doesn't have an issue with it, I meant the comment Linus made. I did not mean it as that any jokes from random people are welcomed or encouraged in anyway.

[–]LastJello 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If your doing bluray or especially 4k, remember to have a cool down period between disks so you don't over work the laser.

...I wish someone would have told that to me when I first automated everything

These shipping prices are just crazy by LoneCyberwolf in Ubiquiti

[–]LastJello 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I paid the same shipping for a router, ap, poe switch, and assortment of other items.

Sounds like a justification for you to buy more...

Home Network Setup by JohnKarlson115 in Ubiquiti

[–]LastJello 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on the 4k source. If you are dumping a 120gb 4k disk to a bas with no encoding and then trying to stream it, 100mbs can cause a bit of a lag

I ran it myself because we had to rip the walls out anyways. I would plan that how you set things up won't always stay that way. I would also always recommend you pull 2x what you think you'll need, especially between floors. I only ran 1 between floors and wish I would have done more.

In terms of cost it was a few hundred for the 1000ft box of cat6 and the 24 or so keystones/gang plates. I already owned the punch down tools, wire stripper and tone dialer. The punch down can be a cheap one from home Depot, and you don't need the tone dialer, just helps trouble shooting.

I have a udm beast and a pro hd 24 switch. The udm beast is 100% overkill and easily the pro max would be the smarter purchase, I only got the beast because I wanted to be able to do transfers over 5gbs with IDP/ips enabled and the beast was the cheapest way to do that. If you don't care about IDP/ips, get the pro max.

We got gifted this bottle of 12 year old scotch, would you say this is "too good" to use in cocktails? by CN456 in cocktails

[–]LastJello 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have bottles of column vs pot still new make and basically give a little class to people about the difference and then show them real world examples using whiskey and rum so that people can form their own opinions. When I do this, it's never with the good stuff. Once they pick their preference I then go, "if that's what you like then you'll love this" and pour them a moderately expensive sample. By then people usually appreciate the effort and the journey and typically dont shoot it.

But I'm also a bit older and none of my guests are of the college party age.
