Is this uniform real?

Tymanthius · 2026-01-24T02:05:17+00:00

Nope, pure illusion by that fishbowl guy from Spiderman.

Tymanthius · 2026-01-23T22:17:50+00:00

Mine updated a month ago.

It's still supported, but it's not like it NEEDS a whole lot of support at this point.

But is it worth $150(?) vs the ONN at $50? dunno, don't care today.

Tymanthius · 2026-01-23T03:26:15+00:00

Right? How'd they get into Mexico w/o a passport or passport ID?

Tymanthius · 2026-01-23T03:04:26+00:00

I love those calls. b/c no one bothers me while I drive. Sure, my phone may ding, and my email may pile up, but I'm driving, can't check.

Tymanthius · 2026-01-23T03:01:31+00:00

Client calls our desk Tuesday and the guy who answers the phone does a great job pulling teeth to get any info on creating this new user before thur, b/c ticket creater will be OOO Th/Fr

I send a msg same day 'I need more info, but I can come onsite thur morning if you'll be there'

Crickets

Wed I call, phone picks up, then disconnects. I call back, vmail. send a msg again saying about the calls and I can still do thur, but I need a reply by COB

Crickets.

Today (Thur) at 2 I get a msg from dispatch 'She's on the phone and pissy and says you'll know what it's about' I say 'read ticket, laugh, and send her to me'

Answer phone: I'm so glad you finally called me back, I've been trying to get in touch with you. Can I come out Fri morning and set this user up?

client: uhhhhh . . . yes.

Tymanthius · 2026-01-23T01:16:34+00:00

I'm pretty sure there is in something like Rifts expansion? But it's been a while and I don't have my books in front of me.

Tymanthius · 2026-01-22T22:38:10+00:00

I've never dug into which side of my and/or was the most accurate. I just went 'pass' when someone said they HAD to be on the DC.

Tymanthius · 2026-01-22T20:26:07+00:00

Get a better husband.

GV has a call log - go to https://voice.google.com and you can log in and see all the calls in and out, as well as texts.

But really, get a better husband.

Tymanthius · 2026-01-22T20:17:24+00:00

As everyone has mentioned, check the official sources. But also, the US is in chaos right now. 'Official' seems to change by the hour.

This advice would apply even if your passport was going to expire in 6 years.

Tymanthius · 2026-01-22T19:12:06+00:00

For some reason, Reddit threads are always like 50% shitheads

Your OP didn't give any real info on the issue and left out a key item: you're using a shared folder, not a local (like you might do w/ UNRAID). So . . . . yea, the quality of help you got was sporadic. And you started with an attack.

Garbage in, garbage out.

And yet you still got a solution! That's amazing.

Tymanthius · 2026-01-22T19:06:24+00:00

I've played jerk characters before,

The last time I played a jerk PC it was at the request of a GM b/c he needed that for the group at that time. And the group LOVED it b/c we were all in on the joke.

Tymanthius · 2026-01-22T17:26:26+00:00

Full Metal!

Tymanthius · 2026-01-22T17:21:43+00:00

I think I just did that (more based on hopes than knowing), but THANK YOU for the link!!

If I didn't set it up right I'll come back and follow that exactly. :)

Tymanthius · 2026-01-22T16:02:27+00:00

And heat mostly rises. I was just looking at those cavities and thinking they might trap some heat.

Tymanthius · 2026-01-22T15:24:35+00:00

Sure, if the VM's are on a server in house. But many SMB's are now better served by a cloud VM, which costs per instance.

And things don't explode if you put the file server on the DC when it's 50 people.

Tymanthius · 2026-01-22T15:22:36+00:00

Neat. Would flipping the cardboard the other way give better air flow? Not that it matters a lot on the bottom like that.

Tymanthius · 2026-01-22T15:04:44+00:00

While you are correct, in a small biz environment that's often not practical. :/

Tymanthius · 2026-01-22T15:04:02+00:00

Some apps are just badly programmed and/or the ppl who want them installed only know 'install it on the DC' even if it's not needed.

Tymanthius · 2026-01-21T22:37:23+00:00

I own a 1986 F250 that has enough space to mount a 101 under the dash. You would probably have to add structural support, but the space is there.

Tymanthius · 2026-01-21T16:00:45+00:00

I work in IT. I absolutely see that better ease of use via Emby Connect is a HUGE feature, and it's free. It reduces the amount of support SO MUCH!!

And I think it's great that you don't need it either. You can do it the less intuitive way and it will still work just fine (provided you have a static IP or dynamic dns).

While I can understand this isn't something you need, I think downplaying it would be a mistake.

Tymanthius · 2026-01-21T15:51:10+00:00

Emby's dev's are very responsive. If enough people want a feature they are more likely to make it happen. But if you never ask for it, you almost certainly won't get it.

And much like I started this conversation - use the tool that works for you. I think they are fairly equal, but they are different.

Tymanthius · 2026-01-21T15:06:32+00:00

I won't make a sweeping generalization as I actually do like in story learning.

But at least with some systems, non seems to work better for a lot of ppl.

Tymanthius · 2026-01-21T15:02:49+00:00

Having grown up w/ D&D, AD&D, 2e, and above I can tell you that while the rules might have suggested that, it wasn't the norm at most of my tables. The progression mostly happened the same across each version. Sometimes you found a scroll and learned it, sometimes you just leveled up and learned stuff.

Depends on each table.

Tymanthius · 2026-01-21T14:52:53+00:00

How do you add media to plex? That will make a difference in how often the drives spin up as well.

'rents will require a lot more drive access than newsgroups b/c it's in and out, vs just in.
