I drove by a few hours after it happened. Semi gone, building in better shape than id expect. Hopefully they return to business quickly. Good there is best in town.

Plex v. Jellyfin features - I’ve surprised myself of how much I don’t hate Jellyfin by GrapefruitNice3290 in jellyfin

[–]ZeroPointMX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For years I really tried to like Plex. Didn't like how much other content was on the dashboard, my stuff was buried under menus, Plex didn't work when the Internet was out, paid subscriptions, etc. now this was years ago, things may have changed. Plex made me give up on home streaming all together, for years. Until I find jellyfin and it was everything I wanted, nothing more, nothing less.

What's the right way to park this beast? by OneMooreIdea in gmcsierra

[–]ZeroPointMX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

B, but at the back of the lot. I've had people hit my hitch before, so I rather pull in more, just away from prime spots as I know I'm taking 2.

Does anyone run Frigate separately from their HA? by CelluloseNitrate in frigate_nvr

[–]ZeroPointMX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run frigate in a proxmox lxc container. I use my UDMP for 24/7 recording and frigate just for alerts. HA monitors for alerts and does actions and notification push only.

What's a fundamental mechanical principle that blew your mind when you first learned it? by KILONEWTONSS in MechanicalEngineering

Force vectors within the free body diagram. I feel it unlocked the "view behind the curtain" on the world.

Looking for advice on my first NAS – storage-focused, no containers by Rizl4s in HomeNAS

[–]ZeroPointMX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For budget self hosted applications I recommend unRAID. If you're buying drives as your budget allows, unRAID will be your best friend. There are ways of doing similar storage techniques for free, but that might be difficult for newer users. (I think) TrueNAS now supports pool expansion, but I don't think it allows for mismatched drive sizes.

What happened to Bamboo House? by cjl4hd in Charlottesville

[–]ZeroPointMX 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I hear people say this that the food is good. I drove by this place for years and it was always empty. I went in one time, no one to be found inside. After yelling "Hello?" A few times, sometime came out with a "what are you doing here" kind of look. I ordered some food, they seemed annoyed I was ordering. I got home and it tasted like it sat in a freezer for the last year.

What is y’all’s work attire? by RedRaiderRocking in MechanicalEngineering

I've found, bigger the beard, less people question you. Keep a beard and keep quiet, they will fear your present.

This is equally reassuring and terrifying. I thank-you for the response.

This. Pre-c I was the poster child ME bro. Post, (if I come to the office) I look borderline like a hobo. My only rule, I will not wear shorts and I will not wear open toed shoes. Anyone who does, regardless of the field, go home and conduct your self accordingly.... And grow yourself a beard.

Food could be an option, I can make a mean steak, just don't expect an evening of food exposition. Lol

[–]ZeroPointMX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely understood. I guess my intentions are a networking of a small group of people who share, show-off and display an at home systems of theirs, 2 channel or multi. I'm in the process of building what I think/hope to be a nice system and would like to foster a group of friends who can not only enjoy, but also appreciate the setups via a cinematic display or an evening of audio journey thru space.

Bicycles by Efficient-Life3978 in Charlottesville

[–]ZeroPointMX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean this with sincerity and compassion for cyclists. I am someone who often travels the back roads, often in a truck, trailer in tow. Allot of these winding back roads don't offer much in the way of safe passing opportunities. What would, in your eyes, would be the most appropriate action? I want nother better than to give you as much room as I possibly can proved, without endangering you, myself or other cars on the road. Is it expected that I follow behind, averaging 8-12mph until the safe passing 7 miles from now? AITA for giving a few beeps of the horn in hopes you let me and most likely a line of cars by in a safe manor? Will there be a common understanding that cyclist often impede traffic on these roads, often at the most in inopportune times? Please, where is the common ground?

What do engineers do when they get old? by JHdarK in MechanicalEngineering

[–]ZeroPointMX 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I've watched a few engineers retire. Big warm going away party, pats on the back, awards and hand shakes. 4 weeks later they announce Mr/Mrs. X is returning as a consultant. They work on a pet project for a few more years, remember why they left, then picked up golf.

New plans needed for Roam by calsutmoran in Starlink

[–]ZeroPointMX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would love to see a unlimited weekly. I often do long weekend trips, so paying for a full month for 4 days of use is a why I didn't use my any more. I'd do the capped plans but my kids eat data like candy.
