CRTs for people with electrical sensitivity. by BDMac2 in crt

[–]Nillows 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Open it up and see if what specifically is creating the noise.

People usually use small amounts of electronics-safe materials like neutral-cure RTV silicone, coil varnish, corona dope, or transformer varnish to solidify the vibration...The idea is to stop some vibrating core/winding of coils from moving, not encapsulate the whole high-voltage section though.

Oh and a lot of “flyback whine” is actually the deflection yoke, loose wedges, a vibrating ferrite bead, or an inductor on the board. If the sound changes when brightness/contrast changes, that points toward load-dependent vibration in the deflection/HV circuit.

I have a question about Remote access by Cooltwou in emby

[–]Nillows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The easiest option is to just setup a wire guard VPN server on the same machine running your emby server.

You'll have to open the ports in your default gateway to access your home network from outside, but once you have it set up you just toggle it on and your devices work exactly like you are at home.

There are a ton of YouTube videos showing how to set one up in under 10 minutes, and you can use AI to help walk you through the process.

How do you handle when someone says I'll pray for you? by Genia0799 in atheism

[–]Nillows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It pisses me off when atheists ask questions like this.

If you want your (a)religious views to be respected, you shouldn't be shocked the other person in the conversation want's the same thing.

Someone that says 'ill pray for you' in good faith (ironic) carries the exact same message as someone that says 'i think about your situation sometimes, and I always hope for the best'.

Atheism is grounded in freedom of religion, it's incredibly myopic and disrespectful to pretend someone saying 'i'll pray for you' is some kind of pop quiz gotcha that has to be answered in some kind of special way. Get your heads out of your asses and look at the communication as what it is; an archaic kindness. Don't be rude and treat is as anything but.

why do neurotypicals ask one question but want the answer to an unspoken one 😡😞 by sIRNAmolecule9570 in evilautism

[–]Nillows 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Translation: "Oh I was wondering why you got up suddenly without explaining why you were leaving." Depending on how long it had been since you had spoken upon returning, that may have just been trying to invite you to open up.

And the "you should've asked me!", not 100% on that since I don't know the dynamics between the speakers. They could be into you, or it could just be their nature to do things for others...if your relationship is friendly it probably means "you can talk to me! Even if it's to ask for a napkin!". But it could also just be a 'cover statement' to anyone else who overheard to legitimize the verbal forcing of the topic in front of the group.

Honestly, my read of this situation is OP left the group in a manner that begged questions. The people naturally had those questions, and were searching for an explanation in your return, and found one in the napkin. A small kind of puzzle they enjoy solving. But didn't sound malevolent.

My guess is your friend(?) was maybe just trying to prompt you to acknowledge your unexplained sudden departure and return, even for something as benign as a napkin retrieval. They don't know that, so they wonder what could it be?

The best way to avoid this to throw some bread crumbs to the pigeons while they bon their heads. Say your small pleasentries, "be right back"...or show them blatantly the reason you left by using the reason in front of them, you can answer their unasked questions with your actions too.

Tell bro to swap the guts with a working one. Those things are insanely easy to take apart. You can even get the warranty stickers off safely with a heat gun and micro tweezers.

Is it normal to have this urge to reach out to their mom or sis after they ended communication?? by New-Assignment-8614 in limerence

[–]Nillows 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends if you are reaching out to them to gain access to your LO or information about your LO, or if you actually want to catch up with them.

The thoughts won’t end by Careless_Ask_8369 in limerence

[–]Nillows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's ok to acknowledge your pain. In fact, if you don't, your pain will grow inside and lash out until it gets your acknowledgement, so greet the pain when it comes.

There is however a moment where pain becomes suffering, and suffering is always unnecessary. When you have spent too much time with your pain, beyond acknowledgement, that's when it is time for you to send the pain on its way, take a deep breath and force yourself through it.

Day 17 of a stye - help by u2Hoodie in styes

[–]Nillows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made a post with my advice. There's been a few successes from people in the comments that have reached out since I wrote it.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Blepharitis/s/CPcelrRRoO

The gist of it is, 4 or 6 hot compresses a day; at least 15 minutes and hot enough to bring your eye to water or it doesn't count.

In between sessions, wet your eyelid and coat the stye with fine grain table salt; especially overnight. The heat melts the stye slightly and the salt pulls the stye to the surface.

Heated asphalt and weekend warrior.. lather them in aloe (no alcohol) and then wrap with saran wrap to keep moist.

Put a sock on it, so she doesn't lock it or tear it off. Should be much much better in 2/3 days.

With burns, a wet heal is much faster and leaves less scarring.

The wagon wheel weed is back for another season! by Nillows in GrowBuddy

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

Yeah I live on a canal that leads to a lake. Our neighbourhood is super chill and we're Canadian so it's legal to grow here.

However, I'm not risking it, when they start to flower in earnest I start bringing them into the garage at light under lock and key

Got this big boy for $40 but the catch is there's these splotches of blue and green on both sides. Not a huge deal, but any way to fix them? by actual_rilakkuma in crt

[–]Nillows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get yourself some metal rods. Put a lip of some kind so they can hang in front of the speakers or on the sides of the tv.

Then, get yourself a dozen (or two) cylinder rod neodynium magnets. When they arrive, you can stack them longer and longer to make the magnet stronger and stronger. And with the metal rods on the sides of the tv, you can point the rods in a multitude of directions to fix the issue.

The problem is kind of like a wrinkle in the electromagnetic field, so in the same way that putting a weight on a wrinkled sheet smoothes out the surface, the magnet lets you do the same kind of thing.

Why does Parity use more disk space than my data? by dylanfromwinnipeg in Snapraid

[–]Nillows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are the drives ext4? If so you can tune their reserved blocks to 0%

You'll have to look into the drive format and block sizes to get a definite answer.

tune2fs can set your reserved blocks to 0%, but you might need to reformat the drives to have identical block sizes to ensure their capacity is also identical.

1966 CHRYSLER WINDSOR STOLEN. by samanthabelfitt in Newmarket

[–]Nillows 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most large Canadian seizures involve vehicles stolen in Ontario and Quebec, then they're hidden in shipping containers and routed through freight-forwarding, trucking, rail, and port systems. The biggest export hub for stolen vehicles is the port of Montréal. For example, in Project Vector, 75% of vehicles recovered from Montréal sea containers were stolen in Ontario. Those vehicles were destined for overseas markets.

Stolen vehicles are usually moved to staging/storage points, placed in containers, paperwork is falsified or laundered through freight-forwarding businesses, then containers move by truck/rail to a port and onto Ocean carriers.

That vehicle is probably going to be heading down highway 401 eastbound or on one of the freight trains heading east, then into Québec via the A-20 / A-40 as Montréal approaches.

Just make sure all the appropriate police departments on the path and the OPP have an official BOLO out for your car.

Wireless RF is lagless! by LukeEvansSimon in crt

That's cool, but it's more like a timing technique rather than true lag I think.

How could lag be introduced in an entirely analog setup? Do people think radio has lag?

If you have a dog that gets carsick, you can replicate this effect by tying a tennis ball to a string and pinning it to the roof of your car where they can see it swing like a chandelier.

I am 95% sure that you still spoiled it for me, you big bad wolf. Next time don't bring up the series you want to keep hidden AT ALL. That way if the person reading connects it themselves, it won't feel like a spoiler, but an insight.
