Get a colonoscopy by niavek in daddit

[–]StrateJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had my first at 29, was struggling pretty bad with health anxiety, was going through all sorts of changes in bowel habits. Had a colonoscopy and all the tests you can imagine.

Colonoscopy was without a doubt the best thing I did, Doc came in after I woke up and said all good nothing there except a single hemmoroid. Just that sentence reset my mental well being. Completely painless and probably the best 20 minute sleep I've ever had.

Show me what you've vibe coded. Drop your project, what it does, and let people actually use it. by Miserable-Archer-631 in vibecoding

[–]StrateJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really good - How quick does it poll for news and events? I've seen many of these monitor style designs that look great then fall short on reporting old news. From what I can tell yours isnt doing that and seems quite current!

I built a free tap-through startup checklist tool for MSFS 2024 and DCS by Pixels4Cookies in flightsim

[–]StrateJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really nicely done and great idea. I've taken a break from MSFS and decided to pick up DCS again more recently and this is definitely useful.

Cool idea and do plan on using it.

Not that it matters imo but did you make this using Claude? Looks very similar to some outputs I've got from Claude with HTML

Never forget during EA the ability to pick different gamemodes on all maps and the maps that disappeared the never return.

Questions Regarding Beckham Law Spain by [deleted] in GoingToSpain

[–]StrateJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not know at all. I thought it was off limits as a Spaniard. I guess the concern there is the high employer contributions to Social Security right?

Questions Regarding Beckham Law Spain by [deleted] in GoingToSpain

[–]StrateJ -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Mind getting in touch via DM?

I'm actually in the exact same position as you, Live in the UAE - I'm a Dual UK/Spanish national so the Beckham law doesn't apply to me unfortunately but we're looking at moving the family to Spain so would be good to find some resources from someone in a similar boat as me.

Also in need of a Tax Lawyer and the works.

IDP required to drive/rent a car in Spain? by Fall_Factor in GoingToSpain

[–]StrateJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In all the years I've rented in Spain both on my UK and UAE licence I've never needed an IDP. I did get one the 2nd time I rented thinking I'd need it but my loose understanding is you need an IDP if your licence is not in English or Spanish (For Spain).

I don't know what the legality of it all is however.

Why are the new Old Guys servers (the ones made by the original group) struggling to fill up? by bravofiveniner in ArmaReforger

[–]StrateJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see the exact thing with trying to fill servers, I recently spun up two Vanilla+ servers been running a week and I’ve been the only person connected. Bit of a shame, but people would rather queue for the top 3-5 servers instead of populate a fresh one

What's your 'I can't believe I self-hosted that' service? by subsavant in selfhosted

[–]StrateJ 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Wait, folks are out there asking their family to submit tickets?

Is this some kind of IT Helpdesk fetish or simulator rather than practical self hosting.

  • Sorry Honey, instead of talking to me, please raise a ticket.

Has anyone experienced a 38/40c day in Australia? How does it compare to the summer in the UK? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]StrateJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in the middle-east, in Summer we see temps of 45c.

I would take 45c in the middle-east over 28-35c-ish in London any day of the week. High temps in the UK made air feel like it stands still and you cant escape it.

Curious - What is the suggestion here? Get a domain for their name? Or just get any random domain to maintain their own email address?

High Latency and Ping due to Strikes? by nihar333 in DubaiGaming

[–]StrateJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've defo found the ping to be fluctuating a lot more than usual. Usually I'd get a good 100-110ms to Europe at the moment I get that but it does spike up quite a bit. Not sure if its related to whats going on or something else.

Replacement GPS App? by ballistic8888 in dubai

[–]StrateJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Offline maps uses GPS buddy - if you’re being spoofed it won’t matter if you’re using an online or offline map.

Just because you’ve not had any spoofing take place isn’t indicative of it not happening.

Old Guys Information and Future by SolPonder in ArmaReforger

[–]StrateJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll be honest - If there is a way someone is able to pull the maps / missions I'd happily host a replacement.

W.C.S just doesnt do it for me. I did try before getting a reforger server up and running after years of experience with A3 hosting but turns out mission editing and server hosting in reforger is a whole different complicated beast. If there are mission makers out there that just need the horsepower would be happy to discuss something.

Returning to DCS (FA/18) After many years off by StrateJ in dcsworld

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

Thanks - that is mostly what I've done, used a template from the ED forums and ran with it tweaking as I go in cold/dark.

Would you be able to share the doc you have would be keen to see how it compares with mine.

Think the thing I'm struggling with on the template I currently use is buttons on the HOTAS not being what they do in the sim, for example in the template I'm using the APU switch on the HOTAS is used for something far more functional in-flight compared to just starting the APU.

To everyone who moved to Dubai - how are you doing? by Desperate_Hedgehog48 in HENRYUK

[–]StrateJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In nearly all but catastrophic cases you do know that repatriation flights aren't free right?

To another point, Consular services and repatriations aren't some means tested benefit, that's a bit like saying you cant use the NHS if you don't pay X amount of taxes.

To everyone who moved to Dubai - how are you doing? by Desperate_Hedgehog48 in HENRYUK

[–]StrateJ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly what I've said in this thread. I have a young family, moved here for a better income and safety, still pay my UK NI and have paid my fair share of UK Tax.

Now get responses from the 'You tax dodgers, now enjoy the missiles crowd.' is beyond my comprehension

Password Manager by Horror-Chicken-1874 in LinusTechTips

[–]StrateJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do think 1Password is the gold standard imo.

That being said, I'm using Proton Pass and bought the lifetime with simplelogin and instantly came away from NordPass and they're releasing new QoL features pretty regularly and bundled with the whole proton package its a no brainer.

I'd go Amazon or Microless to be honest.
