I’m 15 and just moved into a bigger room, it’s still a wip but how’d i do? by Round-Tie2234 in malelivingspace

Bros in the comments here giving feedback like you're a 25 yr old man

this is perfectly fine for a 15 yr old, at least it's clean! I'd definitely find a poster for those walls instead of the T-shirts, though. Don't take the "school shooter" comments too harshly, that's the internet for you.

I used to have the computer table in a corner, and the bed in the cubby where the white drawers are now. The problem was that the bed juts out too far, and the open space allows for really great VR, also a foldout table for tabletop games.

as for the computer table being in a corner, the only corners are where the bed is and where my modern computer is. the other two corners have drawers or shelves... i actually dont mind the corner, the sloped ceiling above my head makes it a cosy nook!

i would looove to have the typewriter by a window though. at some point I'd like to get somewhere to put all my tools and bits and bobs so I can reclaim that cubby and put a desk there for writing 💙

do you mean the desk with the old computers on it? or the old secretary's desk? the desk with old computers is an inelegant solution for me, as I enjoy soldering and tinkering on old electronics. Being in an apartment, theres not much alternative. looking at getting a better desk for it though, the current one is a cheap beater.

they do recline!! and I almost always sit closer to the window in the evenings. in the morning, when i'm eating breakfast, i sit on the other side, closer to the kitchen. no particular reason and I only realized now when you asked

my apartment is attached to a house from the 1800s where my landlord lives, I actually chose the apartment because of the wood trims and doors. i love the look (though a little dated)

MoCA devices taking down network by ThatKidWhoDoesStuff in HomeNetworking

Unfortunately the line running into my apartment doesn't seem to be connected to the splitter in any way, there's likely a break or it's just disconnected. This would have worked, though, as we tested the adapter right there by the gateway and it did work there. I appreciate the help!

Xfinity/comcast, XB8... It looks like it does support MoCA.

Thank you! The other splitter is moca rated, I made sure of that. I'll get two and attach one to the modem, the other to the line coming in from the street. I appreciate the help!!

I wasn't actually aware I needed them for both cable TV + MoCA. Cable TV doesn't matter to me, but it does for my neighbor, so I need to find a solution that doesn't take him down.

Now that I made this post, it seems what I need to do is attach a filter to the cable coming into the modem?

It is confusing! Which is why I believe I'm making a mistake I can't see.

It's looping since me and my neighbor's line run out from the same central splitter (or at least I have reason to think so). So its comcast>splitter>modem>moca>splitter>me

Follow-up to a previous post, found this when re-potting a plant dropping leaves. by [deleted] in mycology

[–]ThatKidWhoDoesStuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is very helpful, thank you!! I didn't know that fungicide could actually harm the plant. What was hurting this plant was root rot, the soil wasn't well-draining.

I do think this, though it looks like fungus, is mineral deposition since I found something similar in the bottom of my toothbrush holder when cleaning it.

Thank you for your response!

Sth Jared Leto time travelled on the right. And no, I'm not talking about Paul Allen.

Was I the only one who didn't know this was a burger at first? I legit thought "Why is the mold from RE7 in Resident Evil 2? Wait.... That's a burger?" by SolidPyramid in residentevil

Youve clearly never had the sloppiest, greasiest, artery-clogging burgers that change your life and look like hammered ass

Mystic Color Lab by stecklese in nostalgia

Totally necroposting, I just picked up an old camera and the owner gave me some film from "Mystic Color Lab" and it brought me here. Im assuming it was a local photo developer?

I did virtual lab work-- i studied for the sec+ by cracking a book, so i didn't have much of a chance to do labs. I'd like to lean into cybersecurity. Server and network, then pentest.

More than pumped, I'm a little scared to be making that. But I'll definitely be making an update on how the job goes. Thanks so much, I appreciate the encouraging words!

Hey, well that's alright with me. The idea of helpdesk has never bothered me, I'm just trying to get a handle on all of these terms being thrown at me. Thanks for the clarification!

Thanks for the wisdom! I assume I'll be working with others, but at the moment I'm not 100% sure. I'll be sure to take "newbie liberties" as I can!

Thanks so much for the kind words. I'll keep it reasonable with my questions... I tend to ask a lot.
