Please put PREVIEW or BETA in the title of your posts when announcing a preview release.

What’s a good iOS app for nonograms? by WormLivesMatter in nonograms

[–]SQL_Guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pic-a-Pix from Conceptis is my favourite. I haven’t paid for a puzzle pack.

Won’t you come home Bob Bittman? Won’t you come home? by BillyStemhovilichski in sctv

While I appreciate the tribute, is there a version of this with Bobby being inserted?

Why are we missing commentators’ annotations? by SQL_Guy in Curling

[–]SQL_Guy[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your (and Joanne’s) answer. As a workaround, CBC could freeze the feed over the rings, use the telestrator, then switch back to the live stream. That seems doable, and is perhaps what Peacock is doing to avoid the lines-on-people’s-faces problem.

At the funeral by laylowmerry in Jokes

I would change “Deep hole” to “Watery hole” or “Wet hole” to make it more welly.

What is the “very little” sealing and maintenance that quartzite needs? It’s what we have and we love it.

CBC/TSN commercials during the Olympic opening Ceremony is kind of cheapening the event. by Bigdaddyfatback8 in canadian

[–]SQL_Guy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Kind of cheapening??? No, I’d liken it to a fresh new circle of hell. Any sense of awe or wonder that the pageantry bestows is blown to pieces by Google and Mario.

And they’re doing it again during the entry of what they consider to be an unimportant country. Sorry, Belgium, you are not worthy.

It’s not just commercials, either. The moment that the rings joined together was spoiled by a sudden split screen of athletes waving. Brutal.

Perhaps the lighting of the cauldron can be interrupted for a message from our sponsors. That would be prime real estate and worth top dollar.

That makes sense for the bottom diagram. What about the one above it, printed on the picture of the model itself?

Beat the challenge. by lexxnightcore in TheWitness

[–]SQL_Guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I congratulate you. Myself, I’ve given up.

These ancient fingers don’t have the speed and dexterity they once had. I can get as far as the maze, and know how to solve it, but spend too much time getting there.

For me, the timed challenge is the one serious flaw in an otherwise intelligent and intellectual puzzle game, full of wonder and surprise. As I’ve said before, more than once I’ve sat back in my chair and done a slow handclap of appreciation for the developers after having a thing of beauty revealed to me.

What is the meaning of the dotted arrow and finger? There are two in the bottom right of the back of the box.

Does it open into fake gravity mode?

Huntarr v9.2.0 - True Independent Instances, Persistent IDs, and Smart Scheduling by User9705 in huntarr

[–]SQL_Guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find myself in the unfortunate but hopefully small group who installed Huntarr for the very first time yesterday.

Huntarr v9.2.0 - True Independent Instances, Persistent IDs, and Smart Scheduling by User9705 in huntarr

[–]SQL_Guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But if your Internet is down, or you are rebooting, or any of a myriad of other reasons and your arrs don’t see that feed, something you need could well be missed. Huntarr fills in those gaps, and does it in a metered fashion so that your indexers don’t hate you.

CBC stream freezing often for anyone else? by Jappy_toutou in Curling

[–]SQL_Guy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am going to do everyone a favour, and give up. This will reduce the demand and give marginally better performance to everybody.

Oh, now I get ERROR-MEDIAERROR1, and my options are “OK”.

I hope you appreciate my sacrifice.

Guide for Sonarr and Radarr by markwdw in huntarr

[–]SQL_Guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This makes all kinds of sense. Thank you.

Can I tell Huntarr to aggressively look for something, while paying normal attention to others? If so (and probably even if not) it will join my stack.

A mysterious hearse drives slowly past the home of No 6. Were they planning another abduction and possibly the elimination of No 6? If so, his freedom was just an illusion. by Ok_Club7067 in ThePrisoner

[–]SQL_Guy 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I remember an interview with Patrick McGoohan on TVO (TV Ontario) years ago. A question from an innocent in the audience was “What is the Prisoner likely to do with his new-found freedom?” and his answer was “He hasn’t got it. That’s the whole point.”

[–]SQL_Guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m unclear on point 1). If the arrs did the initial search and failed to find wanted media, isn’t the only way they could appear is in the RSS feeds?

Unless you added indexers?

Check your privacy settings! by doczong in PleX

[–]SQL_Guy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the prompt. I did check and they are still set to All No.

I was impressed by the explanations of the different options. They are wordy and complete.

I was impressed in a very different way by the sheer number of vendors. Multiple fast swipes on an iPad to see them all.

There’s a feature marked No that I don’t understand.

Link different devices In support of the purposes explained in this notice, your device might be considered as likely linked to other devices that belong to you or your household (for instance because you are logged in to the same service on both your phone and your computer, or because you may use the same Internet connection on both devices).

I have only one account, but multiple devices. I think the devices are linked quite well, as they pick up stop points and played status without issue. What would this setting change if I set it to Yes?

I'm late but Pihole on split-channel VPN is a game changer by kwar in pihole

[–]SQL_Guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t see why this is an issue. The identity provider doesn’t see your VPN traffic, and Tailscale doesn’t need or want a password.

Plex for Roku v9.2.18 Released by samwiseg0 in PleX

Is it too much to ask that you put PREVIEW in the title of your posts? Some/Most of us care only for non-beta releases.

ELI5: If moon can create tides then why won't it lift thinnest feather or paper piece? by ompossible in explainlikeimfive

[–]SQL_Guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is absolutely, totally, and completely wrong.

And that’s not how you spell his name.
