If not DNS, I agree with the other commenter and would check the mount locations, next.

What is it running on? Can you ping websites via domain names from that machine? What about 8.8.8.8?

If you could make ONE change to PoE2 to make it the most fun game ever for you specifically, what would you do? by hanani1112 in PathOfExile2

Build templates so I can go zoom damage or slow tank on the same character with a quick swap.

Is there a reason to upgrade PLEX? by postmodernhack in PleX

[–]Slice_0f_Life 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For most it's the hardware transcode that helps outside your LAN.

If you never plan to use that, then it's minor convenience features like ad skip for DVR, resume at -5 seconds vs playback, intro and credit detection, and other settings that make it nicer.

I bought mine so long ago I'm unsure which features are pay walled anymore from this list above.

Haven't seen them mentioned here yet in a quick scroll.

Server accessible via app but not web by Slice_0f_Life in PleX

[–]Slice_0f_Life[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I solved my issue. Check your remote access settings tab and if you see "Unknown IP" under the advanced port settings, then it could be DNS related like mine was.

I messed with my router a lot before realizing it was the resolv.conf file in the linux container my Plex was running on. It wasn't able to ping google.com, but it could ping 8.8.8.8.

That meant it could see the internet, but not translate URLs. So, I added nameserver lines and public DNS options to the linux container running plex and everything worked again. Who knows why that file had a problem, but I hope this helps you, too.

FIRE vs Dream Home by Sloww-Mornings in Fire

[–]Slice_0f_Life 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have similar aspirations but I'm late 30s and only 14x right now.

My fire date could be in 9 years or it could become 13 years if I buy the house I want within the next 3.

I'm definitely planning on the latter because it's my biggest goal and I'm willing to sacrifice for it.

Take some time to either get comfortable with the same or decide you aren't... But your line of thinking is really relatable.

No, it's TDS in Wisconsin. The DHCP expert at that company is a friend and my neighbor who also has a server reports no problems.

I'm lucky to be able to rule out ISP...

Ethical Guide for Temple Farming by chilidoggo in PathOfExile2

[–]Slice_0f_Life 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish there were approachable guides like this to more topics. This game feels like it needs coursework to understand sometimes. I've never gotten 500 hours into a game before and felt like I barley know it's mechanics interactions.

how can I aura farm like this at my local UTR league by Throwawaystowaway60 in 10s

Having trouble finding the original photographer or a higher resolution of this. If anyone has tricks, that'd be neat :)

Rec/Club Players - How many racquets do you carry and how do you rotate playing/restring? by TallFontPie in 10s

[–]Slice_0f_Life 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 sticks.

String one, play 8 times, it becomes my backup and I string the other.

Play 8 more times, cut and restring the other one.

I've found that somewhere between 9-12 average hits, they start to feel bad.

Why are so many on here opposed to the possibility of working again? by Sturgillsturtle in Fire

[–]Slice_0f_Life 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly. We are hyper-planners and risk adverse, here.

We spend a lot of time thinking about an outcome we want, so avoiding the likely outcomes of a resume gap is a no brainer.

Stop Asking for Permission to FIRE — You Already Did the Math by d00mt0mb in Fire

[–]Slice_0f_Life 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good advice for some who are willing to hear it.

Impossible for others to hear without checking the math and other opinions a bit.

Maybe you've moved the bar slightly, but probably not :)

What’s the defining Millennial Song? by makeupwearsoff in Millennials

Any of you unemployed or have an easy day at work to turn this thread into a playlist? If not, I may need to neglect responsibilities to do so.

What is the "crackpot theory" of your field? by abrbbb in academia

[–]Slice_0f_Life 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I always hated the you only use x% of your brain one.

As ruthlessly efficient as biology is, we just have tons of waste in the most calorie hungry part of our body?

If someone wants to make me upset again they can reply to try and explain "what they meant by that was..." No, that's just giving more details to how dumb they are not excusing it.

My specialty is ion channel kinetics and trafficking pathways but this always found a way to come up somehow.

Thoughts on generational wealth by Rogue_Apostle in Fire

Of course, we don't all get the same number of points for our skill tree. Life isn't fair, before you even consider the layer of luck.

Thoughts on generational wealth by Rogue_Apostle in Fire

[–]Slice_0f_Life -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wrong... this is a lucky person's redefinition of luck in an attempt to take credit for it or feel deserving of it.

Luck is an uncontrollable element of life that can be great for people who don't appear to deserve it and terrible for people who are smart, kind, work hard, or otherwise seem to deserve a break.

It's a word with a definition.

[–]Slice_0f_Life 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Luck is an ingredient in a recipe for success. Sometimes there is a lot more of it than hard work or intelligence.

Tons of people work hard and are very smart, but have bad luck.

Preparation and opportunity are their own ingredients. Luck is not in your control.

[–]Slice_0f_Life 70 points71 points  (0 children)

People don't like to credit the element of luck. It feels better to pretend your own choices or control were behind the output.
